Images Missing After Reopening Adobe Illustrator File
Hello Adobe Illustrator Community,
I would like to report an issue we have been experiencing with Adobe Illustrator that has caused serious problems in our production workflow.
Issue Description:
Images that were properly embedded in Adobe Illustrator files go missing after the files are closed and reopened. The images are not corrupt, and their resolution is below 500 PPI. However, upon reopening the AI file, some embedded images disappear completely.This issue does not occur in all Illustrator files; it happens randomly across different files, making it difficult to predict or prevent.
Impact:
This problem has caused losses for our…1 vote -

メッシュを使ったグラデーションを回転するとひび割れのような線が入るのを改選してほしい
メッシュを使ったグラデーションをラスタライズすると、ひび割れは消えるが、かなり拡大しないとわからない穴が開いていて、そのままプリントしてしまい、製品作り直し大きな損害でした。

Frozen Libraries Panel in Illustrator 30.1
This has happened to me in various CC programs, but Ilustrator is the one most persistent. Basically I have Illustrator open most of the day and am switching between various apps in my workflow. Most commonly, when I return to Illustrator after it has been open for a while the CC library panel will be frozen. I am unable to click on anything in there, and if I resize the panel it distorts the contents. Sometimes the panel is partially frozen and I find out by trying to apply a color swatch, but instead the click opens a graphic asset…

Bug Graphic Display Corruption Issue (Pixel Artifacts on Screen Only)
Windows 11 Pro 25H2 build 26200.7705
Intel i7-14700
Memory 32 GB
AMD Radeon RX 7600 8 GB
Storage 2 TB
Illustrator 30.1 (64bit)
We are experiencing a display issue when opening RGB graphic files. The content appears corrupted on screen, showing scattered or smeared pixel artifacts.
In some cases, the issue is reduced or temporarily disappears when zooming in/out or scrolling the canvas. However, the problem is purely visual and does not affect the actual file data.
When the file is saved or printed, the output is correct and shows no abnormalities.
Please refer to the attached images for detailed…

Significant issues when outlining a file for production / Color of text becomes mixed [?] while Appearance shows None for fill color
When outing a full packaging layout for print production, text blocks turn solid (not text), editable compound shapes (shapes with text in them) turn solid, sometimes the whole layout disappears - I cannot find a common issue for these things and seems somewhat random. This never happened before the V29 update and is causing significant rework and extra steps in the file production process.

Color fill turning grey when selecting outside of Gamut area
I am selecting colors for CMYK that are not out of Gamut, and it is still turning grey. Very annoying. I've been having so many issues with Illustrator not performing as expected.

Export for Screens scale dropdown doesn't work
In the Export for Screens dialogue, the dropdown does not change the scale entered in the box. For example: box says 0.25x. I choose 1x in the dropdown, 1x is checked in the dropdown, but the box still says 0.25x and the export will be 0.25x.
Typing the scale in the box works.

Select Same Fill is disabled
I recently migrated my Mac system from iMac Retina 5k to Apple M2 Ultra Mac Studio running Tahoe 26.2. Updated my full Creative Suite (Illustrator 30.1) and all was working fine will all latest updates and all until I began to work on basic vector shapes. Seems like I cannot select any fill doing Select > Same > Fill as I did for years before. Do I need to delete my preferences perhaps? I even tried very basic shapes, 3 squares, and option to Select Same Fill is greyed out...
Now I will push "post idea" button hoping that it…2 votesGot fixed with a Preferences reset. If you have a similar problem — please back up you Preferences folder before resetting, for the team to study them.

文字パネル側の「フォント名を英語で表記」設定が正常動作していない
Windows 11 25H2
Illustrator 30.1文字パネルにある「フォント名を英語で表記」にチェックを入れても、すべてが英語名で表記されず、日本語のまま残る部分があります。
この状態で環境設定を確認すると、同名の設定では設定がONになっています。環境設定で設定をONにした場合は正常に英語表記されます。
（ただし文字パネルでONにした状態で、環境設定を開き、そのままOFF・ONにした場合だと変わらず）
Windows 11 25H2
Illustrator 30.1Even when checking “Display font names in English” in the Character panel, not all names are displayed in English; some remain in Japanese.
Checking the preferences in this state shows the setting is ON for the corresponding option.If you turn the setting ON in the Preferences, it displays correctly in English.
(However, if you have it ON in the Character panel, open the Preferences, and then toggle it OFF and back ON, it remains unchanged.)2 votes -
Type appears bolder after converting to outlines
When converting live type to outlines, the outlined text appears noticeably bolder. If you zoom in closely, the weight looks correct again.
This becomes a real problem when testing precise font weights for logos or identity work. Once type is outlined for customization, the apparent weight changes is making it difficult to accurately judge the final result. I often zoom out to evaluate designs at small sizes, but with outlined type, the visual weight no longer reflects how it should actually appear.
This behavior also shows up in exports:
If the outlined type is exported at small dimensions, the text…2 votes -

Numeric fields don’t accept typed input (e.g. Stroke width) in 30.1
Reporting a UI regression in Illustrator 30.1 affecting numeric input fields.
Issue
In fields such as Stroke Width (Properties panel) and others, cannot type numeric values directly like we used to.- Arrow keys and scrubby dragging work
- Typed input is ignored (caret often never appears)
- This makes precise values (e.g., 240 pt) extremely impractical
Environment
* Illustrator version: 30.1
* OS: (macOS / Windows – occurs on both, per community reports)
* Panel affected most often: Properties (Stroke, Transform, etc.)Notes
* The former “Scrubby Sliders” preference appears removed or always-on
* The issue behaves like a focus/caret bug,…2 votes -
Bezier handle hit box too small, difficult to select and move handles
Version: 2026 desktop (mac)
Bezier handle hit area is significantly smaller than previous versions. Visual handle size does not match clickable hit area and it is sooo frustrating. It seems like you have to click on it directly in the center, otherwise it does not select and you can't adjust and move the handles. Or you end up clicking on something else.
I usually draw in 2020, as it does not have this issue, but I like that you can rotate canvas on 2026. This handle issue is driving me crazy!
Anyone else having this issue?

Eyedropper + Shift changes text and adds stroke when applied
When picking up a color from text with the Eyedropper while holding down the Shift key the Eyedropper will change the size, the fill and add a stroke when applied to text. When applied to an object, it will add a black stroke to the object.
This does not happen when the Shift key is not used during sampling.6 votes -
