  1. グループに含まれるテキストの組方向を正確に表示しない

    iMac27inch/i5/32GB mem/1TB SSD/macOS14.7.2
    Illustrator ver.26以降で確認

    Step to Reproduce
    1. 新規ドキュメントにポイントテキストを複数作成する。そのうち、いくつかは縦組みに設定。
    2. すべてのポイントテキストを選択してグループ化する。
    3. ダイレクト選択ツールまたはTツールで縦組みのテキストを選択する。
    4. メニュー：書式→組み方向を選択した際に縦組みテキストを選択しているにもかかわらず横組にチェックが入っている。

    期待する結果
    縦組みのテキストを選択した際には該当メニューで縦組みにチェックマークがついている。

    実際の結果
    縦組みを選択しているにも関わらず横組みにチェックマークがついている。

    この縦組み・横組の表示は選択範囲に複数の状態が含まれた場合にデフォルトの横組が選択されるという挙動になっています。端的に言って、この複数ステートをデフォルトで表示してしまうのも問題です。本来であれば双方にチェックマークがつかない状態で表示するべきところです。
    グループ化されたオブジェクトの一部を選択した場合でもこの組み方向の機能はペアレントの状態を参照しているようです。正確に選択範囲の状態を反映した表示にするべきです。

    Step to Reproduce
    1. Create several point texts in a new document. Set some of them to vertical type orientation.
    2. Select and group all point texts.
    3. Select the vertical text with the Direct Selection tool or the Text tool.
    4. when selecting Menu: Type-> Type Orientation, the Horizontal checkbox is checked even though the vertical text is selected.

    Expected Result
    When vertical text is selected, a check mark is placed in the vertical menu.

  2. Object extruded in perspective with 3D and Materials renders with split non-matching tiles

    I just want to know what is happening with the messed up preview. I get a correct preview when moving a slider but a FUBAR one when released.

  3. Center Vertical Alignment for Area Type becomes Top when Every-Line composer is used

    Take a look at the GIF attached.
    When vertical alignment is set to Center, it works only for Single-line composer. When Every-line composer gets chosen, the alignment becomes Top instead.

    And please rename the option finally — it should be VERTICAL alignment, not horizontal: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45711817

  4. In "recolor artwork" when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose it, but will not use those colors.

    In "recolor artwork", when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose that palette, but will not use those colors in the recoloring options. For instance, I can select the color palette, but when I go to randomly change the color order, it does not use those colors, it only uses the colors that are already in the artwork.

    In previous versions, once I selected the "user defined" colors, that selection of swatch colors would appear in the "Swatch group" side panel. That no longer happens. And as stated before, just doesn't work in general.

  5. Corrupt clipboard image view

    Images pasted from the clipboard that are embedded in tif format become corrupted. When working with an embedded image from the clipboard, after a while, when moving an element or zooming in or out, the image becomes corrupted, rendering it unusable and unrecoverable. The images usually end up as shown in the screenshot. This has happened to me several times.

    I'm working on a 2023 Macbook Pro M2 Max with 32GB RAM and macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 using Adobe Illustrator 29.5

  6. アートボード左上の角に丸が表示される ／ Brush tip shape appears in top-left corner of the artboard

    再現手順
    1. Illustratorを起動して新規ドキュメントを作成する
    2. ブラシパネルでカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックする
    3. アートボードの左上の角を確認すると、ブラシの先端形状の丸が表示される

    回避策
    - ブラシツールに切り替えてからカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックすると丸は表示されない
    - 丸が表示された後でも、ブラシツールに切り替えると消える

    一度でもブラシツールに切り替えれば、その後はIllustratorを終了するまで、新たな別のドキュメントを作成してもこの丸は出現しません。

    • MacOS14（Sonoma）+Illustrator2025（29.5）で確認
    • Windowsでも同様の手順で再現するそう
    • これまで再現条件が分からず報告出来なかったが、2022年の時点で既に発生しており、現在まで改善されないままである

    表示が煩わしいのみで特に大きな実害はありませんが、さらに古いバージョンでは発生しなかった不具合です。できるだけ早い解消が望まれます。

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new document in Illustrator.
    2. In the Brushes panel, click a Calligraphic Brush thumbnail.
    3. A round shape appears in the top-left corner of the artboard.

    Workaround:
    - Switching to the Brush Tool before clicking the brush prevents this.
    - Switching to the Brush Tool after the shape appears will remove it.

    After switching to the Brush Tool once, it won’t appear again during the session.

    Notes:
    - Reproduced on macOS 14 (Sonoma) + Illustrator 2025 (v29.5).
    - Also confirmed…

  7. Copying selection in Layers panel no longer works

    Illustrator 29.5.1 on Mac Mini M4 running Sequoia 15.4.1: Dragging the colored square in the Layers panel from one layer to another with the Option key pressed no longer copies the selection to the new layer. It just moves it to the new layer.

  8. When selecting all objects, there will be very severe lag, and even software crashes.

    When I select all the objects, if there are many objects, it will cause the software to crash.

  9. CMYK-Werte im Farbwähler werden nach „Ohne Farbe“ in RGB umgewandelt – trotz CMYK-Dokument

    Ich arbeite in einem Illustrator-Dokument im CMYK-Farbmodus. Wenn ich die Flächenfarbe eines Objekts auf „Ohne Farbe“ setze und danach über den Farbwähler neue CMYK-Werte eingebe, wandelt Illustrator diese automatisch in RGB-Farben um – obwohl das Dokument und die Farbeinstellungen vollständig auf CMYK eingestellt sind.
    Das Problem tritt seit Kurzem in allen neuen und bestehenden Dateien auf, auch nach Zurücksetzen der Voreinstellungen und Neuinstallation.
    Der Fehler lässt sich jederzeit reproduzieren:
    Neues CMYK-Dokument erstellen
    Objekt zeichnen, Fläche auf „Ohne Farbe“ setzen
    Über Farbwähler CMYK-Wert eingeben
    Illustrator wandelt die Eingabe in RGB um
    Das Verhalten widerspricht dem erwarteten Verhalten in einem CMYK-Dokument und…

  10. v29.5.1 Bug - Fonts changing in Illustrator files

    Existing files created in illustrator (on a different desktop) when opened in v29.5 & v29.5.1 display incorrect fonts - the font is changed to a completely different font (e.g. Myriad Pro will be changed to Times New Roman) throughout the document. All the text in that font family is changed, but other fonts used in the document will display correctly. The font is installed correctly on the system and the changed font can be changed to the correct font by selecting the font from the illustrator font list. The thumbnails display correctly in Bridge before opening in illustrator. Reverting illustrator…

  11. Illustrator Paths Automatically Filled Black Despite No Color Selection

    In the past few days Illustrator has given me trouble: as you can see in the picture i get a black filling on any path I create even if no color is selected!

    I have just uninstalled and re-downloaded the illustrator app from my creative cloud (version 29.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem.

    I can't work this way.
    Any suggestions?

  12. Cannot enter Opacity Mask Mode unless Clip is selected

    MacOS 15.4.1 (24E263)
    Illustrator 29.5.1

    When clicking on the opacity panel and then clicking on the mask thumbnail to activate that mode, the thumbnail highlights but as soon as I attempt to edit the contents of the mask, it shows that the mode is not activated. Only if I select the 'Clip' checkbox in the Opacity panel will it allow me to edit the mask. But then clicking the 'Object' thumbnail in the Opacity panel, similarly does not exit mask-editing mode. I have to uncheck the 'Clip' checkbox to get back to normal mode. Previously, simply clicking on each thumbnail…

  13. Allow to change scale and precision, show/hide units for existing dimensions

    Once dimension is created, we can’t change some parameters of it: scale, precision, units displayed.
    We can open Dimension Tool Options and change these for NEW dimensions, but both Properties and Control don’t allow to modify existing ones.

    The only thing we can do is change these parameters, create a new dimension and then hit 'Apply to all' button in Quick Actions section in Properties (which should be a menu command as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378) — but what if we don’t need to change ALL the dimensions, but only some?
    Another thing is to delete a dimension and recreated it…

  14. Advanced Options Missing in Recolor Artwork Panel with UI Scaling

    Bug Description:
    When the UI is scaled up , the advanced options in the "Recolor Artwork" panel become inaccessible. This happens because the panel becomes too large, causing the advanced options at the bottom to be cut off. Additionally, the absence of a scroll bar prevents users from navigating to the hidden section.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Open Adobe software (e.g., Illustrator).

    Access the "Recolor Artwork" feature.

    Use the software on a high UI scaling factor.

    Notice that the advanced options at the bottom of the panel are not displayed and cannot be accessed due to the missing scroll bar.

    Expected…

  17. Zooming in and out is super delayed and slow. Only works fast with control + y.

    Lenovo thinkpad x1 / Illustrator v 29.5

    Whenever i try to zoom in and out, it is super delayed and laggy. It doesnt happen when I do control + y though. I checked my storage space and thats fine. It is only with illustrator.

  18. Recolor window appears out of frame when in isolation mode

    When in isolation mode, the top of the Recolor window is out of frame, so I can't move it. Unfortunately, it pops up right over the artwork, so I can't use it.

    I tried moving the panel when not in isolation mode, but it still pops up over the artwork and out of frame in isolation mode.

  19. Custom art brush results in way too many anchor points when expanded

    As reported here by Peachtears13: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1kei4zn/custom_art_brush_results_in_way_too_many_anchor/

    Having a simple path (with minimum amount of points), applying a simple art brush (with minimum amount of points), and then expanding it gives a ton of extra points, hardly needed to define resulting shapes.

    It worked MUCH better in CS4... and then became much worse in CS6 (or perhaps in CS5) — take a look at the images attached.

    Yes, there are tools to deal with the mess afterwards: native Simplify, plugin VectorFirstAid... but it should not be like this in the first place.

    And please, do not 'solve' it by throwing in…

  20. Can’t place an object between unfurled groups in Layers

    If you have two groups unfurled in Layers — good luck in positioning an object between them in Layers. Any spot you drop it in will move it into either group, like the first attached GIF shows.

    And if the object is originally within a group, you’d have to move it outside first, collapse both groups and only then put it in-between... when you have a complex layer structure it can be very painful.

    Unlike in Photoshop (GIF 2), Send Backwards / Send to Back won’t move the object outside of the group, and dragging the layer to the left…
