Font changes from the current one to the previously used while typing
I'm working on a document in which I used Avenir font, but for the most I use Myriad Pro. When I click with the Type tool I see in the character box I'm with the default font (Myriad Pro) and start typing. Then noticed I'm now in Avenir font!
This bug is brand new with the latest update (29.1), I didn't add any issue of that type before.
I'm on Windows 11 PC Core i7-13700 32 Go of RAM-

"Apply to All" checkbox or "Replace All" button are missing AGAIN
Apply to All option for missing/replacing links is missing again in version 28.5. Now instead of being able to click that and replace all links I know have to do the relink step up to 30 times every print file.
72 votesHello all,
The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.
'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.
Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.
Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.
As we understand, 'replace all' was a important workflow for most of you, so we decided to quickly bring it back while working on the overall…

Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.

Ai2025 - The Pencil tool has become unusable again! There's no accuracy—it’s too smooth!!!
I’m here to post about the same issue I did in 2014.
The Pencil tool has become unusable once again! It’s smoothing too much, even on the maximum accuracy setting (left first slider tick).Back in 2014, when Adobe rewrote the Pencil tool, you removed the previous numeric settings and replaced them with four ticks. All of them were too smooth and took too much control over the path, leading to imprecise bubbly and smooth drawings.
I made a post about this back then, and Adobe was super nice to respond by adding a fifth lowest left tick with the…

Smooth Tool oversmooths
Manual use of the Smooth Tool over smooths no matter what I set the fidelity to.
This tool used to be so helpful in smoothing out rough areas or sharp corners but the new Illustrator 2025 (Desktop) PC version way over smooths.
This makes everything a blob instead of providing the polished finishing touch it used to give.
Now I have to manually remove unwanted points to achieve and retain desired shapes.19 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded

Undo Release Clipping Mask Does Nothing
I recently noticed that if I unclip an object, by accident or necessity, that I cannot undo the step either through the menu Undo or Command key Undo.
I can clip and Command-Z to unclip.
I can manually unclip and Command-Z to reclip.
If I clip, I Command-z to unclip and then Command + Option + Z to redo my last action and it will properly clip.But if I just manually unclip, and then use the Undo command to reclip it like it was? It doesn't work. Nothing happens and it moves on in the history.
I am on…

29.1.0 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing on right click menu when a nested group is selected.
Illustrator version 29.1.0
Windows 10.0.19045To replicate:
- Create group that contains a group
- Select group
- Right click the group
- 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing. In its place is the new 'Ungroup all' item.
When the above actions are performed to a group without a nested group, the 'Isolate selected group' menu item appears as it should.

Artboard orientation changes from vertical to horizontal (portrait to landscape) by itself
After update to 28.3, some artboards are switching orientation by themselves. It's not specific to content or number of artboards, apparently. Sometimes I just open a document with some artboards and hover my cursor over them (not even clicking anything) and the artboard just flips orientation from vertical to horizontal. Most of my work consists on social media posts (1080x1920px or 1080x1350px) witch now Illustrator insists in automatically switching to Landscape for no apparent reason.
By the way, the content is not flipped, just the artboard. And not all of them, usually just one out of the 10 or 20…18 votesThe fix is pushed into Global Availability build 28.6.

合成フォントを使うとaiファイルのPDFデータが空白になる
「PDF互換ファイルを作成」をチェックONにして保存したaiファイルには「ネイティブデータ」と「PDFデータ」の2種類の異なるデータが格納されています。
Illustrator環境設定「ファイル管理 > バックグラウンドで保存/書き出し」をONにして合成フォントを使うと、aiファイルの「PDFデータ」が空白(PDFのコンテンツストリームが空)になってしまう場合があります。なお「ネイティブデータ」は正常に保存されます。
●PDFデータの確認方法
拡張子「ai」を「pdf」に変更してAcrobatで開く。拡張子「ai」のままAcrobatで開いてはいけない。
または、InDesignドキュメントにリンク配置する。
または、macOSならクイックルックで表示する。再現手順
●前準備
1. Illustratorを起動
2. 環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックONにする
3. 合成フォントをすべて削除する
●再現操作
1. 新規ドキュメントを作成
2. 合成フォントを新規作成
3. テキストツールで文字を入力
4. 2の合成フォントを3に適用する
5. ファイル保存
6. 合成フォントの設定を変更する(ウェイト変更など)
7. ファイル保存2020(24)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
2021(25)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
2022(26)は5の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。2023(27)は7の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。
対処方法
環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックOFFにする。ただし抑止はされるが完全に防止できるわけではない。

下揃えに設定したエリア内テキストを途中で改行すると上にスペースが十分あるにも関わらずオーバーフローする
macOS13.6.7/Windows10・11
Illustrator 28.5再現手順
1.エリア内テキストを作成し下揃えに設定した上でテキストを入力する。
2.任意の部分で改行を入力する。
3.テキストは上に送られずにオーバーフローする。期待する結果
上に十分な余白がある場合はテキストを上に送りオーバーフローさせない。実際の結果
エリア内テキストに余白がある場合でもテキストの位置がそのまま保持されてオーバーフローを生じる。現状の対処方法
当該エリア内テキストに対してストーリーの再計算が生じる処理(移動やカーニング・トラッキング調整等)を行うと正常な体裁に戻る。下揃えにした場合、途中の改行でもストーリー全体の再計算が必要になるのですが、上揃えと同様に改行以降の部分的な再計算だけが行われているように思います。
また、これに気付かずにドキュメントを保存すると、次にドキュメントを開いて当該エリア内テキストを編集しようとした時に体裁が変化するために
「このテキストは、別バージョンのIllustratorで作成されました。……」
のアラートが表示されます。

Generative Pop-ups causing file open click issues in MacOS Ventura
The popups that push the generative AI features (which should be permantally dismissable, but that's another issue) cause a bug in the file open... menu. If the popup remains open, and you click File > Open... the file dialog opens, but you cannot click on any files. Closing Illustrator and re-opening will fix the issue.

Distorted curve line when saving an SVG
Hello, when we save from AI/EPS to SVG file, the 'f' edge path of the logo automatically becomes out of shape. We tried different colors and it works fine. This issue only happen on white SVG. Please help.
2 votesIncrease Decimal Places value in Export As / Save As (under More Options) to raise the precision. By default it’s too low, and if your graphics is rather small, it can cause problems like this.

Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1
Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.
Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.
The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.
