  1. Severe selection lag on direct click (Marquee selection works fine) - Illustrator 30.3 - macOS Tahoe (M4)

    Hi everyone,

    I am experiencing a critical issue that is completely breaking my workflow in Adobe Illustrator, and I suspect it might be a specific bug in the latest version or a compatibility issue with the new hardware/OS.

    The Problem:
    Whenever I try to select any element by clicking directly on it, the program takes a long time to react, select the object, and display the bounding box (the resizing and rotation handles). This delay makes it impossible to work efficiently or even copy/paste quickly.

    The strange part is that if I select the object by dragging the cursor (marquee/area…

  2. 「選択範囲を書き出し」でSVGを書き出す際、無関係なPNG画像が同時に出力される

    Illustrator 2024で「選択範囲を書き出し」からSVGを書き出す際、本来選択しているオブジェクトではなく、無関係なPNG画像や別のSVGデータが出力されます。

    問題のPNG画像は、
    ・アートボード上に存在しない
    ・現在開いているファイル内にも存在しない
    ・2年ほど前に使用した記憶のある画像
    ・アセット書き出しパネルにも表示されない

    という状態です。

    また、
    ・新規ファイルを作成しても再発する
    ・通常のPNG書き出しでは発生しない
    ・「選択範囲を書き出し」→SVGの場合のみ発生する

    ことを確認しています。

    さらに、出力されたSVGには、現在選択しているオブジェクト以外の無関係な内容も含まれており、意図した内容だけを書き出すことができません。

    使用環境:
    Illustrator 2024(28.7.10)
    macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

  3. 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.

  6. Illustrator 2026 Eyedropper Leaves Previous Fill Color Hidden in Nested Objects

    In Illustrator 2026, the Eyedropper tool sometimes applies the sampled appearance to the selected group/subgroup level instead of replacing the actual appearance of the underlying object.

    This creates a dangerous prepress issue: the object visually appears recolored, but the previous fill color remains inside the nested object structure. The old color does not appear as a separate duplicated object when ungrouping. It only becomes visible after entering isolation mode several levels deep. If that internal element/fill is deleted, the entire object disappears, which confirms it is not a duplicate object but the original object retaining its previous appearance.

    Expected behavior:…

  8. Cutting off bottom of page when printing

    Fix the problem of cutting off the bottom of the page when I print with Illustrator. I can save the document as a PDF and print it fine with preview, but Illustrator cuts off part of the bottom of the print. It has the incorrect print border. So stupid.

  9. No puedo abrir un archivo pesado guardado en Cloud

    El archivo no se descarga para poder abrirlo de manera local. Es un archivo pesado, con imágenes. Un banner para imprimir de gran porte.

    Al abrirse desde los archivos de cloud en el illustrator de escritorio, el archivo queda en formato esquema (contornear) y no permite previsualizar de ninguna manera, ni modificando el GPU ni en forma CPU.

    Cree una copia sacando lienzos y archivos y tampoco logro guardar el documento de manera local. Marca error pero no explica de dónde viene ni tira ningún número.

    Por favor, necesito ayuda.

  10. Colour Guide - Set Base Colour doesn't recognise filled object, only with a stroke

    Version 30.3 Set base colour only recognises object that has a stroke colour. Will not recognise object with only a fill colour. When trying to fill an object with a colour from the colour guide, it will only colour the object with a stroke of the selected colour.

  12. Shift-clicking in Layers doesn't select range if filter is used

    I have dozens if not hundreds of elements I need to select in a document. I can get them into a contiguous list in the Layers panel with a filter, but this breaks range-selection.

    Screen grab attached, showing clicking behavior with the Shift key held down, with and without a filter in effect.

  13. Copy via Layers panel “target” selection doesn’t populate external clipboard (works only with Selection Tool)

    When selecting objects using the target (circle) icon in the Layers panel, copy/paste works inside Illustrator but fails when pasting into external applications (e.g. Figma, TextEdit).

    The same objects, when selected using the Selection Tool, copy/paste correctly across apps.

    Tested on AI 30.3 & 29.8.6 on Mac Tahoe 26.3.1

    Steps to reproduce
    - Create a simple shape (e.g. rectangle or circle)
    - In the Layers panel, click the target icon (circle) for the object
    Press Cmd+C
    - Switch to another app (e.g. Figma, Sketch, TextEdit, browser)
    Paste (Cmd+V)

    Actual result
    - Nothing is pasted in external applications
    - Clipboard appears…

  14. No layer thumbnail for single element layers

    Issue: There's no layer thumbnail when dragging single elements to a new layer.

    This bug has been already mentioned and acknowledged, but has not been fixed, nor has had received any sort of update or follow up on its status. I believe it only affects v29.8.2 onwards.

    Here's a direct quote from the discussion describing the bug:

    "When dragging a graphic element to a new empty layer, there is no image preview in the layer square (row Size Medium Option in Layer Panel). When you add another element, a preview appears, but if you only have one element in a…

  15. Layer thumbnails are not displaying properly (CPU Preview)

    Issue: Layer thumbnails are cropped based on previous zoom state.

    When you open a document that's been previously saved in a zoomed-in state, all visible layers' thumbnails will only show the elements that are visible in the zoom view. That is, elements that were out of view when the document was saved, are no longer visible in their layer thumbnail after reopening the document.

    How to reproduce

    1. Make sure "GPU Performance" is turned OFF in the preferences.

    2. Create or open a document that has many elements in it.

    3. Zoom into a particular area of the document, purposely cropping other parts…

  16. Adobe Fonts が Illustrator で認識されず、作業が継続不能になる重大不具合

    Adobe Fonts に存在し、Creative Cloud でアクティベート済みのフォントが、
    Illustrator 内で表示されず使用できません。

    具体的には「VDLロゴJr(通常・ブラック)」が、
    ・Adobe Fonts ではアクティブ
    ・Figma では使用可能
    にもかかわらず、Illustrator のフォント一覧に一切表示されません。

    以下の対処をすべて実施しましたが改善しませんでした:
    - Adobe Fonts の再アクティベート
    - Illustrator のフォントキャッシュ削除(AdobeFnt*.lst)
    - Windows の FontCache.dat 削除
    - Illustrator の環境設定リセット
    - ローカルフォントの衝突確認
    - Figma Font Helper の停止

    それでも Illustrator だけがフォントを認識しません。

    仕事で使用しており、毎月料金を支払っているにも関わらず、
    基本的な「フォントが使える」という機能が保証されていない状態です。

    至急、原因の特定と修正をお願いします。

  17. 日本語入力ができなくなるバグ

    【不具合報告】macOS Tahoe 標準日本語 IME が Adobe Illustrator でインライン入力に失敗する

    ■ 環境
    ・macOS Tahoe (26)
    ・Adobe Illustrator 29.8.6 および 30.3 の両バージョンで共通して発生
    ・IME: macOS 標準日本語入力(ライブ変換オフ)
    ・ハードウェア: Apple Silicon Mac

    ■ 症状
    Illustrator のテキストツールで日本語を入力しようとすると、未確定文字がアプリケーション内のカーソル位置(インライン)に表示されず、画面左下にフローティング変換ウィンドウとして表示される。変換ウィンドウ内で確定(Return)を押してもアプリケーション側に文字が入力されず、ウィンドウも消えない。

    Illustrator を再起動すると一時的に回復するが、数十分〜数時間の作業後に再発する。この症状は Illustrator のバージョンを変えても変わらないため、macOS Tahoe 側の IME の実装に起因する問題と考えられる。

    ■ 再現手順
    1. Illustrator を起動し、任意のドキュメントを開く
    2. テキストツールでテキストオブジェクトをダブルクリック
    3. 数十分〜数時間日本語入力を継続する
    4. 値わず、未確定文字がインラインではなく左下のフローティングウィンドウに出るようになる

    ■ 試みた対処(すべて効果なし)
    ・アプリケーションおよびシステムの再起動
    ・対象アプリケーションのキャッシュ・環境設定リセット
    ・フォントキャッシュのクリア
    ・入力ソースの再登録
    ・ライブ変換の ON/OFF 切り替え
    ・アプリケーシンのバージョンダウングレード(30.3 → 29.8.6)

    ■ 鈴決した事実
    AppleScript による Illustrator への JavaScript 実行命令は正常に通るため、Apple Events 自体のブロックはない。IME とアプリケーション間のインライン入力連携(Text Input Client プロトコル)が切れることが原因と考えられる。

    ■ 要望
    macOS Tahoe の標準日本語 IME において、長時間使用後にインライン入力セッションが失われる不具合を修正していただきたい。特に Adobe Illustrator のようなプロフェッショナル送のドローイングアプリケーションでの再現性が高い。

  18. Overset text indicators do not show when Type on Path has overflow

    Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not showing on newer illustrator versions on Text Paths (Point Text).
    The text paths have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the Text on a path (point type) has text overflow.

    As a map design company this is a big issue for us, as our files have thousands of text paths. We used to be able to identify crucial overset text information using these markers however they have vanished for the most past. Some files do occasionally show them but most do not. This is recently cause us to mistakenly print…

  19. Stacked dimensions lagging Illustrator

    The dimension around the red outline rectangle is the LAG source... try to move anything, it takes forever. But as soon as you delete the dimensions, the lag is gone. I'm not sure what is going on here.

  20. The tooltip about the ability to smooth a part of the path get displayed many times instead of once until tried

    The tooltip about being able to use the direct selection tool to select only a few anchor points and smooth just that portion is helpful... once. Afterwards, it's just distracting. Please have it turn off either after the first time it appears, or if the user has successfully done this maneuver at least once.
