1. illustrator 2026 bug: Placed PDF links become corrupted (showing as ".pd") and relink causes massive overscaling

   When a PDF file is placed as a link in the document and the file is subsequently reopened (after closing and reopening the software or the file itself), the following issues occur consistently:

   1. The linked PDF displays a "missing link" warning, even though the file is still in its original location.
   2. In the Links panel, the file extension is incorrectly displayed as ".pd" instead of ".pdf".
   3. After manually relinking to the correct original PDF file, the placed PDF unexpectedly scales to an extremely large size (often several thousand percent), completely distorting the layout.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Place a PDF file into the document using "Place" with "Link" enabled.
   2. Save and close the document.
   3. Reopen the document.
   4. Observe the missing link warning and ".pd" extension in the Links panel.
   5. Relink to the original PDF → the object scales massively.

2. Gradient panel is stuck

   When I open the colors, it works fine, but if I click on the gradient, the panel moves to the top of the screen, where I am unable to move it or even change it back to a solid color.

3. Libraries panel gets stuck after an hour of work

   My libraries panel gets stuck after an about an hour of having the app open. I cannot navigate to other libraries, and the library it is open to is usually faulty when this happens. I can only get to my other libraries when I restart to app.

5. Blob Brush doesn't respect "Draw inside" when painting with a color existing outside

   I included a picture to explain the problem.
   If the user intentionally chooses to draw inside a shape, then that limit should be respected. but instead, if we are painting with a color that exists outside, new strokes merges with the older ones, resulting on the painting escaping the "draw inside" feature.

   I think that the blob Brush merging should be less aggressive and should respect masks, otherwise it's not intuitive and goes against user input, which qualifies this to be a bug.

6. File New dialog is invisible with two monitors

   When i click the "New" button in the homepage, the window that has all the settings to create a new document is invisible, it doesn't appear, but the arrow of my mouse shows me that it can interact with the window, but it doesn't show. I use another monitor and i have found online that illustrator tends to have bugs while having a second monitor.

7. Unable to edit multiple anchor points for type on path in GPU mode

   I am no longer able to move multiple anchor points for text on a path in v30 (GPU mode).
   I'm using a Studio M2 Max with MacOS 15.5..

   The attached video demonstrates this behavior. I have two duplicate paths. While using "View using GPU" I try to edit multiple nodes on the text path. What happens is:

   1. the preview of the path disappears while I'm trying to move the nodes.
   2. the entire line moves, even though I've only selected a few nodes.
   3. my type was replaced with the "Lorem Ipsum" text (this happens intermittently, not every time).

   But, when I switch to "View using CPU" the program functions normally.

   This is something I do very frequently, and I typically have GPU mode on, so this is a new behavior.

   I tested this on other installed versions of Illustrator:

   On v29.8.2 I am able to move multiple nodes, but the preview of the path still disappears while you're moving it. Switching to CPU mode corrects that.

   On v.28.7.2 Everything works normally, both in GPU and CPU modes.

   ---

   Edit: After posting this, I now believe that this might be related to the setting "Real-Time Drawing and Editing". Turning that off "seems" to fix things (for both v30 and v29).

   But it should be noted, in 28.7.2 I CAN keep "Real-Time Drawing and Editing" enabled AND use GPU mode and everything functions fine.

8. Files not saved properly with incorrect display

   Since we started working with Adobe Illustrator 30, we have encountered various files, both saved as ai and pdf, that display a different and incorrect image in the preview. As a result, our printing software also opens and processes these incorrectly, resulting in incorrect printing.
   When we reopen and resave the file, it is fine.
   For the time being, we have gone back to Adobe Illustrator 29, because we can no longer rely on our print file in this way.

9. Libraries Panel Freeze & Distortion Glitch

   Persistent issue occurring on operating system: macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 with model: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
   Occasionally occurring up on brand new computer macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 with model: MacBook Pro (16-in, 2025)
   Both computers are on Adobe Illustrator Version: 30.0 (issue also occurred on 29.6.1)

   Steps to Reproduce:
   - Launch Adobe Illustrator.
   - Open the Libraries panel (Window > Libraries).
   - Work in Illustrator for a period of time (issue does not occur immediately but happens consistently enough throughout day to interrupt working ability).
   - Attempt to interact with the Libraries panel.

   Expected Result: The Libraries panel should display correctly and allow selection of assets.

   Actual Result: The Libraries panel graphic stretches vertically and becomes disproportionate. Items in the panel are no longer selectable. The only temporary fix is quitting Illustrator and reopening it, but the issue eventually returns. Typically occurs 10-15 times a day on this computer.

   Summary of Troubleshooting Attempts:
   - Verified issue persists across Illustrator versions (29.6.1 and 30.0).
   - Cleared Creative Cloud Libraries cache (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Creative Cloud Libraries/ contents).
   - Cleared Illustrator-specific cache (ILST and LIBS folders).
   - Cleared CoreSync cache (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/ contents).
   - Relaunched Creative Cloud Desktop and Illustrator.
   - Disabled GPU Performance in Illustrator preferences.
   - Verified Creative Cloud and Illustrator are up to date.
   - Issue persists after all steps.

   Additional Notes:
   - Problem began on the 2021 computer after upgrading to macOS Sequoia (did not occur on previous macOS version).
   - Occurs on all macs updated to Sequoia; we have 3 others we decided to hold off on because of this issue.
   - Other Adobe apps do not exhibit this behavior at this point.

   See screenshot for visual of issue.

11. Placed .ai artboards drop graphic elements randomly. This is disgusting for printers

    The screenshot shows the placed artboards from - top row: .ai artboards, bottom row: pdf artboards. The circled portions show logos were dropped from the artwork arbitrarily.

    When the .ai file is opened normally, it displays correctly - but not when placed.

    This is a separate issue from placed artwork not displaying transparencies accurately.

    This is supposed to be a professional level program and printing bugs are getting to be too much and costing my company too much in unnecessary reprints. PLEASE FIX.

12. Deleting colors from Swatches panel crashes Illustrator

    In Illustrator 2026, 30.0, on a Mac running 15.6.1, any time I go to delete a swatch, any swatch, any number of swatches, it immediately crashes the program. I reset preferences and nothing changed...still crashes. Started a new file in case there was something going on with the old one, still crashes.

13. Variable Google Fonts reset to minimum weight on file open in Illustrator

    Issue Description:

    When opening files in Adobe Illustrator, the program incorrectly handles Google Fonts variable families that use floating weight values (variable wght axis). All text elements that were assigned specific weight values (e.g., 400, 500, 600) are automatically reset to the minimum weight value after reopening the file. As a result, all text switches to the thinnest available style in the variable font.

    Expected Behavior:

    Illustrator should correctly save and restore the numeric values of variable font axes (in this case, the wght axis) and display text exactly with the weight settings assigned before saving.

    Actual Behavior:

    After reopening the document, all text objects using Google variable fonts lose their assigned weight values and revert to the lowest/minimal value of the wght axis. Visually this appears as if all text changes to the “thin” style of the family.
    This breaks the typographic hierarchy and causes layout shifts, making the file unusable without manual correction.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    • Latest Illustrator release (Windows).
    • Use any Google Fonts variable family (e.g., with a wght axis).
    • Assign different weight values within the same variable family to text objects.
    • Save the file, close it, then reopen it.
    • All weights revert to the minimum value.

    Impact:

    The design opens with damaged typography. All weight settings must be restored manually, which is time-consuming and may cause inconsistencies or visual artifacts.

    Issue Description:

15. Illustrator Flickering/Losing Focus when Clicking Quickly (Both CPU/GPU Modes)

    Illustrator flickers when clicking quickly (or just in general) both when using GPU rendering and CPU only rendering (see attached files). It seems to lose focus on Illustrator and I can see whatever background applications I am using (e.g. Google Chrome). The problem happens in both fullscreen and windowed mode.

    It seems like they have the same problem in this post and standard fixes by disabling GPU Performance doesn't work: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1muf4mt/adobe_illustrator_problem/

19. Dotted Guides are not precise in GPU preview

    Guides should allow us to be sure about alignment.
    And while in CPU it’s mostly true, in GPU preview dotted guides get drawn 1 pixel off.
    These should perfectly overlap the edges of the object aligned!

    Look at the GIF attached

    If you notice a bug with the bounding bounding box not getting displayed when I select the rectangle in the CPU Preview mode — it’s a separate Beta-only bug, reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/50759876
