Paste in Front shortcut got reassigned to Contextual Task Bar
For some reason this very important shortcut is now assigned to the Contextual Task Bar.
Please repair that. Cmd-F goes decennia back, and is very important for experience Illustrator-users.1 vote -
Double Click on Fill results in Black
Double clicking on the Fill (bottom of tools palette), when the current fill is a gradient results in the fill turning black, in stead of opening the Gradient Editor, which might be helpful and intuitively right.
Please make this happen:
Double click on the Fill at the bottom of the tools palette should open the color editor that is most likely:
-RGB color should open RGB editor, CMYK should open CMYK editor, Gradient should open Gradient Editor, etc.2 votes -
Can't constrain Curvature tool with Shift while moving points
When using Curvature tool while drawing a line you can use the Shift key to constrain the new point to certain dimensions like you would with pen tool, but if you go back and try to move a point later, the shift key seems to have no effect on movement.

Curvature tool does some funkiness when clicking on a point of a different object
Curvature behaves weird when you click on another object (related to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44830828--corner-anchor-points-become-smooth-when-joining).
But I'm not trying to join the objects, just click on it. It works fine if you click on the path of the second object, but if you click where an anchor point is it joins the two objects together at the point you click and the first anchor point of what you clicked off of. It also deletes all corner points of the object you clicked on.2 votes -
Properties is Missing the Pathfinder Options
I use the Properties panel to make quick access to the Pathfinder options. I just fired up Illustrator ver 29.5.1 (64-bit) on my Surface Pro 3 (it's still chugging along!), and the there was a section missing. It usually appears right under Align, but it's not to be found. I tried increasing the size of the panel's tab, but there was nothing hidden below. I do clearly see a button to use Gen-Slop (no, thank you), but no Pathfinder.
While I can still access the Pathfinder panel itself without issue, I preferred to keep my work space as uncluttered as…
1 votePathfinder section in Properties appears only when more than one object is fully selected. If you need to see Pathfinder in all cases, including having only one point selected, like in this case, — use the dedicated Pathfinder panel instead.
Illustrator doesn’t offer a way to customize Properties or lock specific sections. If this is something you need — please upvote this request.

Offset path gets applied as a single shape
I am having an issue where when I offset a path, it adds the path as a single shape. In the past, I could ungroup the new shape and go from there. Now, I am unable to separate the new offset path from the original shape. My next step is to use the minus front feature around another shape. Please help, as I have tried everything from forums to ChatGPT and nothing is working.

Snap to Point doesn’t help much to snap an object’s edge to another edge, even with Smart Guides
'Snap to point' in Illustrator is poor. You cannot currently snap objects together reliably. Results are inconsistent.
For example:
1) snapping a point to an edge does not work well, if at all. I have 'snap to point' on and smart guides enabled.
2) when using constrain with the Shift key, whether they be points or edges. Even with Snap to Point turned on, or using Smart Guides. Just something simple as drag-copying another box adjacent to itself does not snap together the edges.In my videos, the first video applies to point 1) and the second video at 10s,…

Illustrator wrongly says texts were created in different version of Illustrator
After the update, this message now appears, saying that my files were created in a different version. But it should be backwards compatible.

Incorrect Future Dates Displayed in Links panel on Illustrator 29.5.1 with OS Sequoia 15.4.1
The Dates are NOT correct in the Links pallets. Not only does it say the same for the creation & modification dates. It is from the future 2040?
Please fix this.I am using OS Sequoia 15.4.1_ Illustrator 29.5.1
My time is set up to EST on my iMac 24inch M1 2021.I create the files... It doesn't matter what file or what link is placed. If I select any link in any file I have created over the last 4 years... They all say the exact same date — Feb 06, 2040. Files that I created in back in…

When revealing a link in Finder/Explorer Illustrator opens the folder but doesn’t select the file, unlike InDesign does
Unlike InDesign, this function does go to the folder, but it doesn't select the file.
I assume this is a bug and not how Adobe intends it to work??
I don't buy the idea that "I really doubt Illustrator can SELECT the file in the Finder / Explorer... I bet it’s something outside of its capabilities and both OS don’t really offer an integration like this".
Why is it that InDesign can do this if there's some inherent thing blocking this functionality?

Stroke gradient sometimes defaults to within stroke instead of across stroke when using eyedropper
I have a path with a gradient across the stroke that I'm copying to other strokes using the eyedropper, and roughly 90% of the time it works fine, but sometimes it lags a little and then copies the appearance over except for the across stroke, instead setting itself to the stroke gradient default of within stroke. Obviously fixing this is only a couple button clicks, but still.

グループに含まれるテキストの組方向を正確に表示しない
iMac27inch/i5/32GB mem/1TB SSD/macOS14.7.2
Illustrator ver.26以降で確認Step to Reproduce
1. 新規ドキュメントにポイントテキストを複数作成する。そのうち、いくつかは縦組みに設定。
2. すべてのポイントテキストを選択してグループ化する。
3. ダイレクト選択ツールまたはTツールで縦組みのテキストを選択する。
4. メニュー：書式→組み方向を選択した際に縦組みテキストを選択しているにもかかわらず横組にチェックが入っている。期待する結果
縦組みのテキストを選択した際には該当メニューで縦組みにチェックマークがついている。実際の結果
縦組みを選択しているにも関わらず横組みにチェックマークがついている。この縦組み・横組の表示は選択範囲に複数の状態が含まれた場合にデフォルトの横組が選択されるという挙動になっています。端的に言って、この複数ステートをデフォルトで表示してしまうのも問題です。本来であれば双方にチェックマークがつかない状態で表示するべきところです。
グループ化されたオブジェクトの一部を選択した場合でもこの組み方向の機能はペアレントの状態を参照しているようです。正確に選択範囲の状態を反映した表示にするべきです。EN Translate
Step to Reproduce
1. Create several point texts in a new document. Set some of them to vertical type orientation.
2. Select and group all point texts.
3. Select the vertical text with the Direct Selection tool or the Text tool.
4. when selecting Menu: Type-> Type Orientation, the Horizontal checkbox is checked even though the vertical text is selected.Expected Result
When vertical text is selected, a check mark is placed in the vertical menu.…

Center Vertical Alignment for Area Type becomes Top when Every-Line composer is used
Take a look at the GIF attached.
When vertical alignment is set to Center, it works only for Single-line composer. When Every-line composer gets chosen, the alignment becomes Top instead.And please rename the option finally — it should be VERTICAL alignment, not horizontal: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45711817

In "recolor artwork" when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose it, but will not use those colors.
In "recolor artwork", when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose that palette, but will not use those colors in the recoloring options. For instance, I can select the color palette, but when I go to randomly change the color order, it does not use those colors, it only uses the colors that are already in the artwork.
In previous versions, once I selected the "user defined" colors, that selection of swatch colors would appear in the "Swatch group" side panel. That no longer happens. And as stated before, just doesn't work in general.

Corrupt clipboard image view
Images pasted from the clipboard that are embedded in tif format become corrupted. When working with an embedded image from the clipboard, after a while, when moving an element or zooming in or out, the image becomes corrupted, rendering it unusable and unrecoverable. The images usually end up as shown in the screenshot. This has happened to me several times.
I'm working on a 2023 Macbook Pro M2 Max with 32GB RAM and macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 using Adobe Illustrator 29.5

アートボード左上の角に丸が表示される ／ Brush tip shape appears in top-left corner of the artboard
再現手順
1. Illustratorを起動して新規ドキュメントを作成する
2. ブラシパネルでカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックする
3. アートボードの左上の角を確認すると、ブラシの先端形状の丸が表示される回避策
- ブラシツールに切り替えてからカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックすると丸は表示されない
- 丸が表示された後でも、ブラシツールに切り替えると消える一度でもブラシツールに切り替えれば、その後はIllustratorを終了するまで、新たな別のドキュメントを作成してもこの丸は出現しません。
- MacOS14（Sonoma）+Illustrator2025（29.5）で確認
- Windowsでも同様の手順で再現するそう
- これまで再現条件が分からず報告出来なかったが、2022年の時点で既に発生しており、現在まで改善されないままである
表示が煩わしいのみで特に大きな実害はありませんが、さらに古いバージョンでは発生しなかった不具合です。できるだけ早い解消が望まれます。
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new document in Illustrator.
- In the Brushes panel, click a Calligraphic Brush thumbnail.
- A round shape appears in the top-left corner of the artboard.
Workaround:
- Switching to the Brush Tool before clicking the brush prevents this.
- Switching to the Brush Tool after the shape appears will remove it.After switching to the Brush Tool once, it won’t appear again during the session.
Notes:
- Reproduced on macOS 14 (Sonoma) + Illustrator 2025 (v29.5).
- Also confirmed…13 votes -
Copying selection in Layers panel no longer works
Illustrator 29.5.1 on Mac Mini M4 running Sequoia 15.4.1: Dragging the colored square in the Layers panel from one layer to another with the Option key pressed no longer copies the selection to the new layer. It just moves it to the new layer.
