Files don’t save! Saving starts and never finishes and can’t be cancelled
The saving process starts as soon as I ask for it, but then it never finishes.
This issue is happening since I download the latest version (29.7.1)The problem is not even letting me to close the program in the computer because "Illustrator is currently saving the document and will close it once the save process is complete" signal is appearing so I need to finish the task from the task administrator in the computer

Toggle Visibility Not Working in Layers Panel
Windows 11 desktop, 12 GB graphics card, 32 GB RAM, Intel processor with 3.60 GHz, 64 Bit x64-based processor
29.7.1 (64 bit)
I am creating a design and trying to toggle the background layers to compare. When I click on the eye icon in the Layers panel, the layers sometimes go on/off and most often do not. Essentially, toggling visibility does nothing.I have checked that my layers are visible in the hamburger menu. I have restarted Ai and restarted my computer.

Unable to use arrow keys to move anything after using Align tool in Properties panel
When using the Align tool in the Properties panel, using the arrow keys to nudge anything - text, boxes, or art - does not work. The tool in the actual Align panel works, but not Properties, meaning I have to have an extra panel open to avoid this issue. Others have also reported it.

Enclosed Mode toggle button in Control and CTB
Illustrator now has a dedicated option to permanently toggle Enclosed Selection Mode, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display > Select Objects only within Marquee.
However, there’s no hotkey we can assign to this option (or any other option in Preferences!) or a button outside or Prefs — in Control panel or Contextual Task Bar... Properties I don’t mention, since it’d certainly want me to have nothing selected.Originally by Derek Watson.

Symbol not following the artwork to move when moving, after update
I’m writing to report a bug I’ve encountered in Adobe Illustrator since updating to version 29.7.
When working on CAD artwork that includes symbols, I’ve noticed that when I try to move a symbol, the symbol artwork doesn't follow the intended movement. Instead, it either stays in place or shifts to an unexpected position. This issue did not occur in previous versions and is significantly affecting my workflow.
Could you please look into this and advise if there is a fix or workaround available? I’d be happy to provide a sample file or screen recording if needed.
Thank you for…

29.7.1アップデートにおけるテキスト入力について
半角入力では問題なく行えますが、日本語の入力時にリアルタイムで反映されず、画面左上で文字が表示され、Enterを押すと入力されるという仕様になっていました。(添付画像参照)
また、以前のバージョンではAlt + 右 / 左向き矢印キーでカーニングできていましたが、出来なくなりました。
改善していただきたいです。1 vote -
Illustrator 29.7.1 changes units to points and resets other values after changing Keyboard Increment value when Search field has text in it
Another paradox is that version 29.7.1 of Illustrator constantly changes the units from px to points after entering an new value in keyboard increment. Does it happen to anybody else?

Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or duplicating using Option drag Shift command. Illustrator v. 29.6.1
Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or when duplicating using Option drag Shift command. I'm surprised that as many updates as we are required to do, that the glitches and bugs are so prevalent than they used to be before constant updating. I'm beginning to think that updating isn't really about making the product better, but to keep folks paying their subscriptions.

Anti-Aliasing Method in PNG Options Resets to Type Optimized
The Preview in PNG Options is fixed (previously reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48119207), but the anti-aliasing method is not sticky anymore. It stays on Type Optimized between exports.

Threaded text areas display only first lines when Adobe Every-Line composer is used, since 29.6
Issue: two or more threaded text areas no longer render all text inside. The text does still exist (as visible in View > Outline) but it does not render on screen or when exporting / saving out. Whereas text flashes visibility for single text areas with no threading, but does eventually show.
Actions taken: fresh text areas; freshly typed text (not copy-pasted); fresh document with fresh areas and fresh text. All do not render fully. Also ensured text is at the very top with no unseen masks or shapes obscuring. Turning off and on Outline View, bounding box, edges etc.

Swatches disappear in Swatches panel when switching between documents
I've got two documents open. An RGB one, and a CMYK one. When I CMD+TAB between the two, all the current swatches disappear. I have to click on a different 'view swatches' button to make them appear. This happens EVERY TIME. I just updated to the latest version of Illustrator thinking it would fix it, but it doesn't.

Every single time Adobe updates, all my settings and workspaces are completely wiped out
Every single time Adobe updates, all my settings and workspaces are completely wiped out. Do you have any idea how much time this wastes?
It’s beyond frustrating — it’s infuriating. And to make things worse, you keep raising prices while sneakily auto-renewing subscriptions without proper notice. This isn’t just bad service — it’s predatory. At this point, your behavior is no different from a scam.1 vote -

Cmd+Opt+Shift+M Erases Text
OBSERVATION
The keyboard shortcut Cmd+Opt+Shift+M will open the Character Window and highlight the current font, however this exceptionally incredible time saving shortcut works only if the text is selected and not highlighted.While the text is highlighted, performing the Cmd+Opt+Shift+M shortcut, simply erases the highlighted text.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The mechanics of this shortcut, many versions ago, performed the expected function, whether the text was highlighted or selected.Illustrator: 29.7
