  1. Unable to export to SVG using 'Export to Screens'

    I cannot Export to Screens using SVG - gives an error of 'unable to export following files'. I've tried a simple shape too and that doesn't work! The only way I can do it is to 'save as' SVG and change to SVG 1.0.

  2. Font Selection Panel Stuck on top of the Artboard/Application

    Selecting font panel is stuck on the screen. Tried 'Reset Essentials' but the font panel does not go away. Able to work on the artboard and its contents like normal but the font selection panel is irresponsive to attempts in moving it. When going in Properties panel and changing font of a text there, the dropdown is bugged out (can only change font if you type font name).

    Only after quitting application did the font selection panel disappear.

  6. Braille fonts are displaying incorrectly after latest update (29.1)

    After doing the latest update, one particular font I use is displaying at a different spacing to what it was in the previous versions of illustrator and is incorrect.

    Its a slight difference but I deal with braille on medicine so this is required to be very accurate. I have attached an example but am unable to upload the font, which is a unique braille font for our company.

    I have gone back to the previous version of Illustrator for now to resolve this.

  8. Edit Contents button in Control panel ignores the scope and always prefers the layer-level clip to the selected object-level clip

    In Illustrator we can make object-lelvel clip groups, by selecting objects and using Make Clipping Mask command.

    We also can apply a clipping mask directly to a layer if we select a path for a mask only, highlighting the layer we need to clip in Layers, and using a different Make Clipping Mask command, from the panel’s flyout menu.

    But then, if we select the object level clipping group and decide to select its clipped content, using the dedicated button in Control panel, it will ignore the scope and the intention and prefer to select the clipped layer’s content —…

  15. Working on a Mac touchpad when moving around the project with 2 fingers gesture zooming triggers automatically with extreme intensity

    Working on a Mac touchpad when moving around the project with 2 fingers gesture zooming triggers automatically with extreme intensity.

    I used to work on my projects on my touchpad and now with the new updates somehow this bug appeared. Now it is a struggle to move around the project without a spacebar or with a hand tool instead of the previous Mac touchpad gesture.

  16. Outlined text corrupting in "placed" logo files

    AI logos with outlined text are being clipped/thinned/skewed when placed in both Illustrator and InDesign in 2025 apps.

  17. Unknown error during file import

    Illustrator 2025 (29.1)
    MacBook Pro M3 16"
    MacOS Sonoma 14.7.1

    When importing I'm getting a random "Unknown error" message. Afterwich the import failes.

    This seems chipset related. When I boot Illustrator 2024 (28.7.3) in Rosetta mode, the error is gone.

  20. Automatic and manual saving does not function

    Autosave and manual save does not work for Illustrator.
    I created a file, worked on it, saved intentionally several times, but after a day of work illustrator has not saved anything neither locally nor in the cloud.

    The autosave function is on.

    Does anybody know what could be the issue?

    Thanks in advance.
