1. 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.

2. unchecking "use document bleed settings" box in "Save Adobe PDF" does not remove the bleed from the saved file.

   issue also replicated on illustrator 30.0 on a mac
   1: create new document with some amount of bleed in "document setup"
   2: save as .pdf will bring up "Save Adobe PDF" Dialog
   3: uncheck "use document bleed settings" box and save the .pdf
   4: open document saved in step 3, it still has the document bleeds that should have been removed by unchecking the "use document bleed settings" box

3. Saving in older illustrator format scales 10 times down

   When saving a file in an older illustrator format, now the file appears 10 times smaller. As a signmaker working with sign software that doesn't accept newer ai or eps files this is VERY MUCH unwanted. I can scale it back to 100% in my sign making software but only manual. Not by alttering the comma in the scaling. This isn't accuracy I often need. Please undo this downscaling. Me, and a lot of colleagues, work for decades this way.

4. Document Raster Effects settings not being honored on all affected objects

   Illustrator 30.1 on MacOS 14.6.1
   Changing the Document Raster Effects settings used to affect all objects with pixel effects, at current it appears not to anymore and one has to manually force an update of the Drop Shadow effect for example.

5. Delete Artboard should not spam in History when only one artboard remains

   While deleting artboards rapidly works now s it should, I can’t but notice that even when the only artboard is left, the Delete Artboard command and step still fires up and pollutes the History panel. With the only artboard left the command should just do nothing (until Ai team decided to invent the artboardless canvas and break all the things).

   Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   This issue was fixed with Beta Build 30.3.0.104 — please update and see if it solves the behavior for you.

   
   

   However, the Eyedropper still doesn’t work as expected. Here, a report about Eyedropper + Shift changing text and adding stroke when applied — please upvote it.

7. Live Shape center in the bounding box prevents Snap to Point from working

   As reported here — https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1p6pyau/what_do_i_not_understand_about_snap_to_point/ — modern Illustrator is having problems when dragging live shapes by the center, expecting this center to snap as a point to another points.

   Live shapes like start, ellipses, rectangles, now have the additional widget controls displayed over the bounding box — to alter the shape on canvas. Well, this fat dot in the middle seems to obstruct the REAL center point shapes get when created.

   That’s why disabling the bounding box helps — the fat dot vanishes with it, exposing the real center point (Attributes panel control it being on or off).
   That’s why using the Direct Selection tool helps — the bounding box appears only when a shape tool or Selection tool are used.
   That’s why expanding the shape helps (either with Object > Shape > Expand Shape, or something like Pathfinder > Add — but it’d require for center to be reenabled) — the live shape widget shows up only for live shapes.

   This widget wasn’t a thing in older versions, and there was a time it worked fine after live shapes were introduced, until the fat dot happened. Please make it work. Today, even with enabled Smart Guides Ai might (within a tolerance) display the 'center' when you hover over the fat dot obstructing the center, but would not register it as one when you start dragging. Shame!

9. “Split Into Grid” creates a single live grid object now instead of independent paths and it's awful.

   Recent versions of Illustrator changed “Split Into Grid” to create a single live grid object instead of independent paths. This completely breaks established illustration, print, and production workflows (stickers, dielines, laser cutting, icon sheets).

   Please restore the previous behavior or add a preference/checkbox to output individual paths by default. Illustrator is an illustration tool, not a layout app.

10. Breaks in gradients/gradients not rendering/pixels missing

    I'm having issues with exporting artwork from Illustrator, which features a stroke (100pt, round cap) with a gradient (2x colours in gradient, applied along the stroke).

    My operating system:
    MacOS Tahoe 26.2

    The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
    • V30.1and a version 2x updates before
    • A member of the Adobe support group tested my supplied file against other versions of Illustrator and found it is reproducible in at least Illustrator 2023.

    The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
    1. Selected File > Export > Export as
    2. Selected ‘PNG’ from format dropdown
    3. Selected ‘Use Artboards’, ‘All’
    4. Clicked ‘Export’
    5. From PNG options export window selected:
    - Resolution: High (300ppi)
    - Anti-aliasing: Type Optimised (hinted)
    - Interlaced: Left unchecked
    - Background colour: Transparent
    6. Clicked ‘Ok’

    Your expected result and the actual result:
    My expected result: A solid gradient along my path in my preferred exported format.
    Actual result: A path with weird white breaks, almost like some pixels are missing or are not rendering correctly.

    Other info for reference:
    I've tried:
    • Exporting a png directly from illustrator, it appears
    • Expanding the stroke and exporting, it appears
    • I've started a new doc and pasted it in there and exported, still appears
    • I've increased the resolution of gradients in my doc setup setting, still appears when exporting.
    • I’ve exported the png with CPU preview switched on, still appears
    • I’ve exported the png with CPU preview switched on and ticked Optimise Art in the PNG settings, still appears.
    • Added extra points to the path, still appears. Note from community member that suggested this and tried themselves on my supplied file: “I didn't see any of the strange glitches along the stroke in GPU Preview regardless of zoom level. But they did show up when switching to CPU Preview. I found that I could make a lot of the tiny white glitches disappear by adding more anchor points to the path. The white glitches also tend to change position or appear/disappear depending on the zoom level. Adding points isn't a 100% good approach though. Even when adding a lot of points to the path a couple white speckles might still appear depending on the zoom level.”

    When it does NOT appear:
    • Placing the AI file into indesign, exporting it as a png
    • Exporting as a jpg from Illustrator
    • When you expand the stroke with a solid colour, then manually set the gradient with the free form gradient setting and adding in your points to create the gradual fade from one colour to another. > my current solution to the problem

    I've checked the artwork and there's no extra points, weird shapes sitting on top of the path. I've given the artwork file to another colleague and posted it in the adobe support group and no one can figure out what the issue is.

    Link to Adobe Support group post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/breaks-in-gradients-gradients-not-rendering/m-p/15664487#M461183

11. Updating the Share for Review link uses the previously saved version

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open File A in Adobe Illustrator.
    2. Save File A and create a Share for Review link.
    3. Open File B (or another Illustrator file).
    4. Make changes to File B and save it.
    5. Click Share for Review and choose Update Link.

    Expected Result:
    The Share for Review link should update the review link for File B.

    Actual Result:
    The Share for Review link updates the review link of last file that was previously saved and shared for review (e.g., File A), instead of the current file (File B).

13. Area type centering option not working, text jumps to top of frame

    When creating text frame with area type (it is not threaded nor multiple columns) set to center vertically, the text jumps to the top and will not center align at all. This is a function I have used in 2025 with no issues and now it will not work at all in 2026.

14. Unable to lock aspect ratio when using the Scale tool

    In version 30.1, scaling a graphic with the Scale tool while the aspect ratio is locked no longer works correctly. When holding the Shift key and dragging the mouse at a 45° angle, the graphic snaps back to its original size instead of maintaining proportional scaling. This breaks the previously working workflow for scaling graphics while preserving aspect ratio.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Select a graphic to scale.
    2. Choose the Scale tool.
    3. Click and hold the mouse button on the graphic.
    4. Hold down the Shift key and drag the mouse at a 45° angle.

    Observed Result:

    The graphic flickers rapidly, alternating between the original and scaled sizes, and ultimately snaps back to its original dimensions.

    Expected Result:

    The graphic should scale smoothly with the aspect ratio locked, showing an accurate live preview throughout the transformation, as in earlier versions of Illustrator.

15. Offset path missing in Swedish version

    I couldn't find the function Offset path (Förskjuten bana) on the Swedish version of Illustrator 30.1.
    I'm on MacOs Sequoia 15.7.3

    It is usually located at Object - Path - Offset Path
    Objekt - Bana - Förskjuten bana.

    Tried to reinstall illustrator.
    Tried rebooting.
    Tried clear preference and cashe in Mac library.

    When we uninstalled the Swedish version and Installed an English version (North America) it showed up and is working.

16. Can't add Anchor Point to front object

    Illustrator 30.1 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8

    I'm trying to add an Anchor Point on a Path (orange) on the front, at the same place where there's an Anchor Point on a Path (black) in the back, but when I approach the (selected) front Path with the Pen, / or * appears instead of + and it either continues the Path below or starts a new Path above.

    My only option to add an Anchor Point to the orange Path is to cut it and rejoin it.

17. Illustrator freezes when clicking “New File” on Windows

    Illustrator (v29.x ,v30) freezes every time I click “New File”.
    The application works correctly if I open an existing .ai file.
    GPU acceleration is disabled.
    Fonts tested. Drivers updated.
    This seems related only to the New Document screen.

18. Live Paint + Eyedropper recolors entire Live Paint group (macOS)

    Product/Version: Adobe Illustrator 2026 — v30.1
    OS: macOS 26.2 (Build 25C56)

    Issue:
    When a Live Paint group is selected, using Live Paint Bucket (K) and Option/-click to temporarily switch to the Eyedropper samples a color but also recolors all faces inside the Live Paint group to that sampled color. This prevents using the Eyedropper to “pick a color to paint with” without changing existing fills.

    Expected result as in previous versions: Option-click while using Live Paint should only sample/set the active paint color, without changing existing faces in the Live Paint group.

    Actual result: All faces in the selected Live Paint group change to the sampled color.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    - Create artwork with multiple enclosed faces and group them
    - Select the group with Selection Tool (V)
    - Switch to Live Paint Bucket (K) and click a face to create a Live Paint group.
    - Hold Option/Alt (temporary Eyedropper) and click a color on another object.

    Observe: the entire Live Paint group’s faces recolor to the sampled color.

    Frequency: 100% (whenever the Live Paint group is selected)

    Workaround: Deselect all (Cmd+Shift+A) before sampling, then continue painting, or option+shift with eyedropper.

19. UI freezes when clicking Save file with multiple artworks, no recovery files, version 30.0 on Tahoe 26.1

    This new 30.0 update is terrible, my team has lost countless hours!
    As soon as you click save, the UI freezes, and doesn't allow you to save.
    After clicking the task manager in order to restart the app, the file doesn't show up in the recovered files. NOTHING!
    It is the worse version of Illustrator EVER. I was contemplating going back to the LTS version, but we have already done too much work in this newer version, and are certain that when we open those files, in the OLDER (But better) version, there will be issues, we saw it already in a few files, where the file is flat and not editable.. What can we do?

20. With 'Use Preview Bounds' enabled, resizing an object would instantly jump to geometric bounds, while the bounding box hugs preview bounds

    When 'Use Preview Bounds' option is enabled, Illustrator included strokes of the selection into the bounding box.
    However, if we try to resize a selection, Ai would make the object suddenly larger, as if the option to respects preview bounds is disabled — take a look at the GIF attached.

    If we also enable the 'Scale Strokes & Effects' (not shown), we can somewhat understand, why the team chose to do this — if the preview bounds were used to resize with both options enabled, we would get the selection move slightly to respect the scaling of the stroke... but this feels exactly what one might need with these options enabled.

    This needs some thinking over, but the current approach stays confusing.
    There are other reported problems with the options...
