Opacity set with an action does not match appearance of opacity set manually
When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.
However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.
Manually selecting multiple objects in addition to the object created with the action shows "Mixed appearances" in the Properties panel. Individually selecting each of the objects shows the same attributes. Selecting multiples…

Spinning wheel when switching between documents if something is selected in the document.
I've noticed that if an object is selected in any document then switching to that document will cause the spinning wheel of death for about 5-10 seconds. If nothing is selected then the switch will happen immediately, like it should do.

Paste Remembers layers not working in 29.0 - 2025 update
Just updated to the 2025 version of Illustrator 29.0, Desktop PC, and none of my layers are being applied when copy/pasting between files. Everything just pastes into the currently selected layer.
The "paste remembers layers" option is ticked, I've restarted and I've reinstalled. I'm hoping for a hotfix soon, otherwise I will need to revert to 2024.4 votes -
Guides duplicate and fly away when grabbed
When I grab a guide (square made by me, not ruler) by the edge and drag it, it duplicates and the double is flying away, kind of like a floater in your eye

Make pressing Escape close Color modal dropdowns for Fill and Stroke in all panels
If we open Character panel, unfold any dropdown in it and press Escape — this dropdown closes back.
If we click underlined Stroke or Opacity in Properties, pressing Escape does the same.
But if we click Fill or Stroke button in any panel (Control, Properties, Appearance), to get the Swatches/Mixer/Gradient/Generate dropdown... Escape does nothing.
It should close this dropdown, as it does for everything else in Ai.3 votes -
線を細く設定した際の表示バグ
線の太さを0.001pxなどに設定した場合、設定は出来ているのに実際の線の表示位置と、選択できる線実体の位置にズレが生じます。
表示限界かとは思いますが、表示できないなら設定も出来なくすべきかと思います。3 votes -
Line Extension Smart Guide not working
I recently updated my Illustrator to 2025 and my smart guides are on but when I extend a line now it is no longer snapping to "Line Extension". I have verified that in my preferences under Smart Guides, "Anchor/ Path Labels" is turned on. Not sure if this is a bug with the new update or what is going on.

[Illustrator 2025, 29.0][Win11 Pro 23H2] Polish Characters (Alt GR + A, C, E, O, X) Not Working in the Artboard Name Field
When I try to type a Polish character in the artboard name field - using Alt GR + A, C, E, O, X - nothing happens. The only one that works is Alt Gr + Z.
Interestingly, Polish characters work just fine in text boxes and in the layers panel.

[Illustrator 2025, 29.0][Win11 Pro 23H2] No Recent Local Files in the Welcome Screen
Recent local files and their previews are completely gone from the welcome screen in Illustrator 2025, 29.0.
Changing the number of visible recent files, restarting the computer, disabling/enabling GPU acceleration and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help.
9 votesAs stated in an update at forums, there is a solution.
A backend fix has been applied. Please restart Illustrator to see if the issue is resolved.
If it persists, follow these steps:
1. Close all Adobe apps, including the Creative Cloud desktop app.
2. Navigate to the following folder location:
Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/CCX Welcome folder
Windows: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome\
3. Locate the folder named CCX Welcome and rename it to CCX Welcome.old.
4. Relaunch the Creative Cloud desktop app, then reopen Illustrator.
Leave a comment if this resolves the issue or not.

[ExtendScript] Cannot set Document.rulerUnits
There is no way via scripting to set a document's rulerUnits (pts, mm, inch, etc) because the property Document.rulerUnits is—erroneously, surely—read only.
If Document.rulerUnits was writable, we would simply do this:
var doc = app.activeDocument; doc.rulerUnits = RulerUnits.MILLIMETERS;This is important because there is literally no way to set this via script, except to create a new document.

In script, after creating a new TextFrame it cannot be selected the first time.

'PASS' : 'FAIL')); alert(results.join('\n')); })();Expected results: both tests would pass.

ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定したドキュメントをPDFで書き出したものがオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる
macOS13.6.7/iMac27inch(Intel)
Illustrator ver.28.6再現手順
1. いくつかの図形を重ねて合成モードを乗算に設定したうえでグループ化しグループの抜きのチェックボックスを外す。
2. ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定する。
3. PDF X4で保存する。
4. そのPDFをAcrobatで開く。
5. Illustrator上でのオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる。Actual result
PDFを書き出した状態とIllustrator上での表示が異なる。Expected Result
PDFの表示とIllustrator上での表示が同じになる。Illustrator上でのグループの構造の違いがIllustrator上のレンダリング結果とPDF書き出し結果で相違が生じています。1でのグループの抜きのチェックを外したグループではIllustrator上ではグループ内ので抜き処理を行わず合成モードの処理を行います。これがPDFを書き出した際にグループの抜きと解釈され、全てがノックアウトされた状態でPDFが作成されます。どちらが正しいかという事は難しいのですが、グループに設定されたノックアウトを拒否する設定をPDF書き出し時にも有効にするほうが表現の幅が拡がるように思います。

Step to reproduce
1. Overlap some shapes, set each objects the blending mode to Multiply, group them, and uncheck the KnockoutGroup checkbox in the Opacity panel.
2. Set the Page Knockout Group.
3. save the document as PDF X4 format.
4. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
5. The overprint preview in Illustrator is different between PDF.Actual result
The display in Illustrator is different from the exported PDF.Expected Result

Offer to delete dimensions if related objects are deleted
Dimension in Ai are live and follow the objects they we snapped to (only if NOT get moved on their own or together with the objects, which is stupid and should be fixed: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47739104)
But another problem is unbound dimensions, that don’t have an anchored parent anymore.
Ai offers nothing if I delete an object that has a dimension attached to it
It won’t offer me restore the link if I paste it back.
If a dimension was bound to two objects, and delete one, there is no way I can move the second one and keep it live,…2 votes
