1. Can’t change a gradient stop from swatches

   There is a bug that stops you from changing the colour in a gradient stop from your swatches. The only way to get around it is to use the eye dropper tool. This is a must fix and has been missed on multiple updates recently!

2. Dragging and rearranging several objects at once in Layers is broken when a filter is applied

   As documented in other reports, this remains broken. It may work ONCE, based on no discernible pattern, but never again in dozens of tries.

   This afflicts both platforms.

3. Incorrect (reversed) text order when copying text from PDFs without Illustrator editing capabilities

   pre - TLDR:
   Illustrator no longer preserves the visual reading order when copying fragmented text from PDFs without editing capabilities, instead using an incorrect internal sequence.

   Incorrect text order when copying text from PDFs without Illustrator editing capabilities

   MacBookPr 2024 - macOS Tahoe 26.3
   Adobe Illustrator 2026 - 30.3

   Hello,

   I would like to report an issue in Adobe Illustrator that seems to have been introduced in recent updates.

   Initial situation:
   When opening a PDF that was not saved with Illustrator editing capabilities, it is expected that continuous text blocks are split into multiple individual segments or lines. This behavior is known and not the issue.

   Previous behavior:
   Until a few updates ago, it was possible to select such a fragmented text block, copy it, and paste it into a newly created text field. The text was inserted as a single line, but the content order was correct (top to bottom). The only required step was manually restoring line breaks or paragraphs.

   Current behavior (issue):
   Since recent updates, the order of the pasted text segments is no longer correct.
   When copying and pasting a fragmented text block, Illustrator still merges everything into a single line, but the sequence of the content is incorrect.

   Based on observation, Illustrator no longer follows the visual reading order (top to bottom). Instead, it appears to process segments in a reversed or otherwise incorrect internal order (e.g. partially bottom to top).

   Impact:
   This makes the pasted text unusable without extensive manual correction. It is no longer sufficient to reinsert line breaks. Instead, the content must be manually reordered, which is error-prone and time-consuming. In many cases, it is faster to retype the text entirely.

   Example:
   A text block selected from top to bottom (starting with
   “entalkoholisierter Chardonnay”
   and ending with
   “… Anbau”)

   is pasted beginning with a lower segment such as
   “*aus kontrolliert biologischem …”
   followed by lines that originally appeared above it.
   This indicates that the segments are no longer processed in visual reading order.

   This issue did not occur in previous Illustrator versions using the same workflow.

   best regards
   marvin

4. ESC key not exiting text editing and isolation modes in Illustrator 2025 on macOS and PC

   On macOS (latest version), ESC key does not exit text editing mode in Illustrator 2025 as it used to in previous versions.
   Resetting preferences and keyboard shortcuts does not fix it. I created a new action to perform the exit task temporarily.
   Expected behavior: ESC should exit text mode.

5. Extremely Sluggish after Using Edit Toolbar

   Picking any tool from Edit Toolbar will bring Illustrator to a crawl. Popups become unresponsive for around 5 seconds. If I start Illustrator while holding down Shift Ctrl Alt, it works great - but only when I do so. If I don't, it's back to being slow. Running Illustrator as an Administrator also makes it run great.

6. Illustrator 2026 Eyedropper Leaves Previous Fill Color Hidden in Nested Objects

   In Illustrator 2026, the Eyedropper tool sometimes applies the sampled appearance to the selected group/subgroup level instead of replacing the actual appearance of the underlying object.

   This creates a dangerous prepress issue: the object visually appears recolored, but the previous fill color remains inside the nested object structure. The old color does not appear as a separate duplicated object when ungrouping. It only becomes visible after entering isolation mode several levels deep. If that internal element/fill is deleted, the entire object disappears, which confirms it is not a duplicate object but the original object retaining its previous appearance.

   Expected behavior: the Eyedropper should copy and apply the selected appearance as it did in Illustrator 2025, replacing the object’s actual appearance without leaving the previous color hidden inside nested groups.

   Actual behavior: Illustrator 2026 sometimes stacks the new appearance above the object/group while preserving the previous internal fill, causing incorrect color separations and a high risk of production errors in packaging/prepress workflows.

   I'm a very experienced user. This started on Illustrator 2026. 2025-2024 were OK.

7. SVG files won't open in Illustrator 2026. Works in earlier versions (tested in 2024)

   SVG files won't open in Illustrator 2026. I can open them in Illustrator 2024, and paste them into 2026. But opening the file in 2026 results in a totally blank artboard. Perhaps the parse is broken? Something got worse between these versions...

8. High GPU load on macOS 26 Tahoe

   Laggy performance and high GPU load.
   Upon investigation, issue isolated to WindowServer when Adobe Illustrator is running, with or without a document open.

9. The preview is incorrect because some images are missing

   Ever since at least Illustrator version 29.8.5, I've been having preview issues with linked images. Some images are missing from my preview.

   I tested it in Illustrator 30.3, and the problem persists.

10. Hidden Characters remain visible when exporting in PNG

    Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2

    I work with Hidden Characters on, and when I export a PNG (export for Screens), they remain visible. Hidden Characters aren't supposed to remain visible after a PNG export. The only way that I could resolve the issue is to turn them off. But when I try to disable hidden characters, it looks like they are already off (even though I can still see them), and I have to turn them on, then off again, to make sure they are completely disabled.

11. Pressing Tab in Color panel glitches

    When adding a color to a object via the Color panel, normally you could use tab to move to the next field in the CMYK color options. Now and for the past few versions released it glitches any time you use Tab.

    To get it to work you now have to type in the number for C, click enter then click in the M, Enter/click Enter and so on, which is time consuming. If you don't do it this way it glitches after hitting.

    In the video i linked, the first try is using Tab, then the 2nd where it works is me hitting Enter after each number and then clicking into the next field.

13. Gradient across stroke, inside opacity mask is thresholded for half the width of the stroke

    Applying a black-to-white gradient across a stroke inside an opacity mask results in a portion of the opacity mask not being applied, corresponding to half the width of the stroke, almost as if it is clipped by the stroke. If the path is subsequently outlined, which creates a mesh, the behavior is the same. If the object is a filled bezier curve, the behavior is normal with the shape masked as expected.

14. Visual glitch in modified text when using the “Transform” tool

    When using the “Transform” effect on complex files, the visual display of the actual text does not update. The visual display is not up to date, whereas in the source code (CMD+Y) it is. To update the text visually, you must uncheck the “Transformation” option in the Appearance window, then check it again to force the visual update.

    As shown in the attached files, the black-and-white one shows the wired version (with the correct text), and the other shows the standard view (with the text that hasn't been updated)

15. Script selection/appearance modification causes error 8702

    I am using a script to change the appearance of an object (fill color of an ellipse shape). Since there is no way to access appearance properties directly (which would be lovely to get someday), I am using a known workaround with defaultFillColor on the selected document.

    app.activeDocument.selection = [item.obj];
    app.activeDocument.defaultFillColor = item.newCol;
    

    Unfortunately, the selection seems to leave Illustrator in a weird state, and any further script command (e.g. next iteration of the loop) fails with "Error 8702: there is no active document."

    This sometimes goes away if I use CPU instead of GPU preview, though not reliably. And the error is not thrown if there is no update to the fill color (i.e. the object already had the correct color).

    This is on version 30.2.1 and macOS 26.3 on apple silicon. I was successfully using the same script for years prior to a few weeks ago, so this might be a recent change. I also tested the latest Illustrator beta, and the error is still there.

    I am happy to share the script and illustrator file that trigger the error if needed.

18. Data integrity bug: Illustrator 30.3 changes CMYK swatch values after pasting clipboard bitmap image and reopening file

    Product: Adobe Illustrator Desktop
    Version tested: 30.3
    Document color mode: CMYK
    Issue type: Data integrity / color swatch value corruption

    Summary:
    Adobe Illustrator 30.3 reproducibly changes CMYK swatch values after a bitmap image from the system clipboard is pasted into a CMYK document. The issue appears after saving, closing, and reopening the .ai file.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new CMYK document in Illustrator 30.3.
    2. Create a CMYK swatch, for example C10 M10 Y10 K0.
    3. Paste any bitmap screenshot/image from the system clipboard into the document.
    4. Save the .ai file.
    5. Close the file.
    6. Reopen the file.
    7. Check the CMYK swatch value.

    Actual result:
    The CMYK swatch value changes from C10 M10 Y10 K0 to approximately C9.77 M9.77 Y9.77 K0 after reopening the file.

    Expected result:
    The CMYK swatch value should remain exactly C10 M10 Y10 K0. Pasting a bitmap image from the system clipboard should not modify existing CMYK swatch definitions.

    Additional observations:

    • The issue is reproducible in Illustrator 30.3.
    • The issue is specifically triggered by bitmap images pasted from the system clipboard.
    • If no clipboard bitmap image is pasted, the CMYK swatch value does not change.
    • CMYK values such as 0%, 50%, and 100% do not appear to change.
    • Values such as 10% change to approximately 9.77%, which suggests a possible unintended 8-bit quantization or percentage remapping.
    • This is not just a display issue. The saved file reopens with changed CMYK swatch values.

    Impact:
    This is a serious print/prepress data integrity issue. It can silently alter exact CMYK swatch values, brand colors, and production colors in saved Illustrator files.

    Product: Adobe Illustrator Desktop
    Version tested: 30.3

19. 「選択範囲を書き出し」でSVGを書き出す際、無関係なPNG画像が同時に出力される

    Illustrator 2024で「選択範囲を書き出し」からSVGを書き出す際、本来選択しているオブジェクトではなく、無関係なPNG画像や別のSVGデータが出力されます。

    問題のPNG画像は、
    ・アートボード上に存在しない
    ・現在開いているファイル内にも存在しない
    ・2年ほど前に使用した記憶のある画像
    ・アセット書き出しパネルにも表示されない

    という状態です。

    また、
    ・新規ファイルを作成しても再発する
    ・通常のPNG書き出しでは発生しない
    ・「選択範囲を書き出し」→SVGの場合のみ発生する

    ことを確認しています。

    さらに、出力されたSVGには、現在選択しているオブジェクト以外の無関係な内容も含まれており、意図した内容だけを書き出すことができません。

    使用環境：
    Illustrator 2024（28.7.10）
    macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

20. Navigator is not navigating

    Illustrator 30.2.1. Macbook

    In the Navigator panel so I can see my artboard and all the items in it. But when my view is for example in the upper right corner, and I click on the lower left corner, because I want my view to pan over there, it only brings me a little bit more to the left. It seems like a big bug and the Navigator is now sort of useless. In previous Illustrator editions it was working perfectly.
