  1. Issue saving document on hard drive after creating a pattern swatch, file won't save or AI crashes. Cloud document saves fine!

    I keep recreating a pattern swatch to use on a social media image, and every time I go to save the document Illustrator either crashes completely or won't save the file and I have to start over again. Weirdly, saving to the cloud works just fine, it's only when I have to my hard drive on my brand new MacBook Pro. If I do any other work within the file, it will save. But if I create the pattern and use it within the file, the crash happens. Expected result is to be able to save the file on my…

  2. Bottom of Artboard controls entry fields and text descenders cut off

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a new or existing Illustrator file
    2. Look at the bottom left of the screen where the Artboard controls are
    3. Observe how close the entry fields/text are to the bottom

    Result:
    OBSERVED:
    - The bottom of the entry fields is cut off (see screen shot)
    - Entry fields still work as expected
    - Resizing the window does not fix the issue
    - Happens with main display or on external display

    EXPECTED:
    - Entry fields at bottom to not be cut off (bottom outline missing)
    - Descenders of text to not be touching bottom of…

  4. Not constraining to 91 degrees & 136 degrees instead of 90 degrees & 135 degrees with shift

    Even with constrain angle at 0 degrees & smart guides at 45 & 90 degree angles & turning all snapping options off:
    holding down shift when rotating while drawing with line segment tool shows live angle snapping at 0, 45, then 91 & 136, then back to 180, 225, 270, 315, then 0 again.
    When I release at what it says to be 91 or 136 degrees by my mouse -> I check the rotate properties in the right panel & the angles are correct at 90 & 135 degrees where they snapped.
    So it's just displaying the wrong snapping…

  5. Order of duplicated artboards is reversed

    A big issue is that if you select several artboards at once to duplicate them and they were in order
    A
    B
    C
    they used to duplicate as
    copy of A
    copy of B
    copy of C

    Since the latest Illustrator update they mirror instead, as
    copy of C
    copy of B
    copy of A

    Makes batch duplication worthless and I now have to duplicate each one separately OR do the set and then move them around manually.

  7. Split Into Grid adds printable lines instead of guides

    In Split Into Grid window there's an option to "add guides". But instead of guides lines are added that have standard stroke — printable lines that are conveniently in neutral greenish color 0,1 pt stroke and look like guides so it's easy to miss that.

  8. Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report--"屬性" (Properties / Attributes)

    Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report
    To Whom It May Concern,

    I've encountered a translation issue in the Traditional Chinese interface of Adobe Illustrator, where two different functional panels share the same translated name, "屬性" (Properties / Attributes), which causes confusion for users.

    Properties panel:
    In Illustrator 2024, this panel was translated as "內容" . However, in Illustrator 2025, its name has been changed to "屬性".
    Its function is to dynamically display the most commonly used attributes and control options based on the currently selected object or tool.

    Attributes panel:
    This panel has consistently been named "屬性" (Attributes).
    Its primary…

  9. 用紙サイズ指定で手差し印刷ができない

    • 使用アプリ: Adobe Illustrator
    • 前の環境:Windows10 / llustrator 28.4.1
    • 現在の環境:Windows11 / llustrator 29.5.1 または 28.7.7
    • 印刷機:富士フイルム DocuPrint C4150 d

    問題:
    前の環境では手差し印刷できるのですが、現在の環境では手差しトレイから印刷できません。
    手差しトレイからではなく、標準のトレイから違うサイズの用紙を出してしまいます。

    行った手順:
    印刷時にプリンタの詳細設定(左下の「プリンター(U)…ボタン→その他の設定)で

    ・「用紙トレイ選択」を手差しのトレイに設定
    ・「原稿サイズ」を「ユーザー定義用紙」に設定
    (バグを確認したのは、A3より少し大きめの306x437mm)

    また現在の環境では、データを再印刷する際に、印刷の詳細設定がリセットされてしまいます。
    (前の環境では詳細設定が引き継がれていた)
    印刷のプリセットを設定したとしても、毎回プリセットを読み込むのが面倒です。
    こちらについても、印刷設定の保持ができるように改善していただきたいです。

  10. Touch Type's alternate glyphs panel should ignore view rotation.

    Okay, just, look at this screenshot. Look at it. Contemplate it for a moment. Ask yourself if this feels like the right thing to do.

    The type itself is at about 45º to the edges of the artboard; I've rotated the canvas to roughly align with the type so I can have a better view of it while I think about how to properly deploy Bookmania's glorious OpenType alternate forms.

    I really wasn't expecting the Touch Type tool's popup to match the alignment of the canvas' edges but in retrospect I'm not surprised. NOTHING drawn in the preview window aligns…

  11. Unable to export blank canvas using 'Export to Screen Multiple Formats'

    Cannot export blank canvas using 'Export to Screen Multiple Formats'.
    When making a brochure, one page is blank, but when using "Export to Screen Multiple Formats" to export, it prompts that a blank canvas cannot be exported.

  14. Crash on new artboard

    Every time I click on the "+" under my artboards window, it crashes. I have 24 artboards already, and if I duplicate one using Option click drag, it seems ok. But New Artboard crashes again and again.

  15. The Linked File dropdown does not resize correctly, often goes offscreen

    The 'Linked File' dropdown (visible when a linked file is selected) does not resize correctly.

    If the lower-right corner is dragged to resize the left edge very quickly moves offscreen, then when the handle is released the dropdown is often too large to view on the monitor, as it has scaled so wide that it is off the right hand side of the screen. It is difficult to get it to all fit on the screen at once, and if the lower-right handle goes offscreen then it requires a restart of Illustrator to try again.

    Restarting Illustrator each time this…

  16. Lock Guides button in Properties is shown as depressed when the option is actually enabled

    My guides are always set to locked (Ctrl + Alt + ;) but sometimes on loading the icon in the Properties panel is not pressed in or whatever the term is. I think my Illustrator gets into a state where the guides are neither locked or unlocked causing the issue with snapping to guides later. I found this morning that pressing that button a couple times fixes my issue.

  17. Illustrator keep blacking out the top part of my artboard.

    My version of Illustrator: 29.5.1 running on Windows 11:
    Keeps blacking out the top portion of my window. I can scroll a little and make it go away, but it sure is annoying and sometimes won't go away.

  18. New file window always in fullscreen instead of previous window size

    In the past, Illustrator opened a new file to the size and position of the previous window. Now it ALWAYS goes to full screen, and I then ALWAYS have to size it back down to how I want it. this is a new and unwanted behavior, so please fix it. Thanks.

  20. Holding Shift ignores Snap to Grid when creating artboards

    When Snap to Grid is enabled, artboards now respect it, both when moved or get created... unless you hold Shift to constrain proportions when resizing or making it a square.

    Totally works for rectangles, I can see no reason to prevent artboards from behaving in a similar fashion.

    Here’s a somewhat similar request about these also misbehaving with smart guides:
