Opacity Slider Not Visible If Docked to Bottom
If you dock top panel with tools and actions to the bottom you can't see the slider for Opacity at all. Other menus like "Stroke" and "Style" are popping up just fine.

Swatch Panel is not adjustable
Since the new update, the Swatch panel cannot be adjusted and so I cannot have all of my panels open at the same time now. If I expand the color panel, I have to sacrifice another panel to be shrunk. I used to be able to take away the empty space under the swatch area which gave more room for the other panels to be open.
Win 11 and current vs of AI.

Always crashes upon clicking All Formats (*.AI; *.AIT;...) button in the Open File dialogue box
Any time I try to open a file and ACCIDENTALLY hit the button All Formats, Illustrator freezes and stops responding. I have to close the program. This issue has been consistent across multiple versions and 2 computers, and happens every single time.

Palette Redéfinir les couleurs qui se ferme toute seule au moindre clic
Bonjour. J'ai ce soucis depuis un moment.
Lorsque j'ouvre la palette de modification de couleur ''Redéfinir les couleurs'' qui se trouve dans Edition/Modification des couleurs/Redéfinir les couleurs de l'illustration... dès lors que je clique sur les cercles pour les déplacer et changer la couleur, la palette disparaît. J'ai beau recommencer, dès que je touche les cercles, la palette se ferme. Impossible donc de changer les couleurs de l'illustration.
La video en pièce jointe est très explicite.Si vous avez une solution, je suis preneur.

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.

Unintended shortcuts triggered by Ctrl + Win/Apps keys on Windows
On Illustrator for Windows, a specific key sequence triggers unintended shortcuts. This issue appears to be caused by a bit-level misidentification within Illustrator's input handling, where certain keys are processed as different characters.
The order of key presses is critical:
1. Hold down the Ctrl key first.
2. While holding Ctrl, press the Left Windows Key or Apps Key.Actual Results:
- Ctrl + Left Win: triggers "Send to Back" (matches Ctrl + [).
- Ctrl + Alt + Left Win: triggers "Select Next Object Below" (matches Ctrl + Alt + [).
- Ctrl + Apps: triggers "Bring Forward" (matches Ctrl + ]).

Illustrator 30.3 bug: Use Preview Bounds ignored for effects applied directly to symbol instances
In Illustrator 30.3, I appear to have found a bug related to bounding boxes and the Use Preview Bounds preference.
When an effect is applied directly to a symbol instance, Illustrator seems to ignore the Use Preview Bounds setting and behaves as though preview bounds are enabled for that object. This does not happen when the same effect is applied to the symbol definition itself, which has always used preview bounds, regardless of the preference setting, and it does not happen when the symbol instance is placed inside a group and the effect is applied to the group instead (good…

(Bug) Alignment buttons go into hiding when selecting more than one object
When selecting a single object, the Alignment buttons appear on the top UI bar. But select MORE THAN ONE object, the Alignment buttons disappear.
Now I have to click on the "Align" flyout menu and click an option from there in order to align 2 objects, because my UI shows more blank space and fewer features than before.

2.アートボードパネル上でShiftキーを押しながら2つ目、1つ目のアートボードを順番に選択する。ここまでで、アクティブなアートボードは1つ目になる。
3.アートボードパネル上では3つのアートボードが選択された状態となっている。
4.Commandキーを押しながら2つ目のアートボードをクリックする。アートボードパネル上では2つ目のアートボードの選択が解除されるが、クリックされた2つ目のアートボードがアクティブになる。

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…

Color panel does not cycle Tab focus, causing all panels to be hidden. on MacOs
Illustrator version: 2026 (30.2.1/30.3)
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new document.
- Open the Color panel (Window > Color).
- Click on the first numeric input field (e.g., C value in CMYK mode).
- Press Tab repeatedly to move focus through the fields.
Expected result:
Focus cycles through all input fields within the Color panel — after reaching the last field, Tab returns focus to the first field, keeping focus inside the panel. This is how other panels (e.g., Character, Transform) behave.
Actual result:
When Tab is pressed from the last input field, focus escapes the Color panel entirely. Because Tab is also…
