1. No longer possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to the CHANGE CASE commands

   Why is it no longer possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to the CHANGE CASE functions in the latest version of Illustrator? I am attaching an image of the text menu under 'Change Case' showing remnants of the old assigned shortcuts (I have been using the same shortcuts for many versions of Illustrator now, as well as in InDesign, where they are still active even in the latest version). /

   Perché nell'ultima versione di Illustrator non è più possibile assegnare comandi da tastiera alle funzioni di CAMBIO MAIUSCOLE?
   Allego immagine del menu testo alla voce cambio maiuscole con residui dei vecchi comandi assegnati (uso gli stessi comandi ormai da numerose versioni di illustrator; ma anche da indesign, dove invece sono ancora attivi anche nell'ultima versione)

2. Illustrator 30.6 freezes indefinitely while editing AI files with embedded PNG images

   Since updating to Illustrator 30.6, Illustrator randomly freezes while editing AI documents.

   The freeze is not a normal slowdown. The application becomes completely unresponsive and can remain frozen for several minutes or even indefinitely.

   I have already tested:

   Reinstalled Illustrator.
   Tested multiple NVIDIA driver versions.
   GPU Performance enabled and disabled.
   System Compatibility Report shows No conflicts.
   Illustrator correctly detects the RTX 4060 GPU.
   The AI files are not unusually large.
   Removing one placed PNG/PSD image sometimes eliminates the freeze, even though the image size is normal (around 1500–2000 px).

   CPU and GPU usage remain very low while Illustrator is frozen.

   I can provide the AI document, source images, System Info and System Compatibility Report if needed.

   Operating System: Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26200)
   Illustrator Version: 30.6

   Hardware:
   AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS
   NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
   16 GB RAM

3. Un-tabbed document (i.e. dragged out of application frame) jumping to font

   Mac OS Tahoe 26.5.2
   Illustrator 30.6

   Fairly recent issue following a Mac OS update.

   I have a number of documents open/tabbed in the application frame.

   I drag one out of the application frame in order to work on it while conveniently being able to view another document in the application frame behind.

   I click on the document in the application frame to make an adjustment and the un-tabbed document jumps in front.

   Repeatedly clicking the document in the application frame does eventually give it focus but the un-tabbed document will always randomly jump to the front without me clicking anywhere near it.

   Tried resetting prefs etc. and turning application frame on and off but the issue persists. Using Stage Manager is not an option which works for me.

4. Performance issue / Freezing with Transform Effect after v30.6 update

   After updating to Adobe Illustrator v30.6, I am experiencing significant lag, freezing, and hanging when using the Appearance > fx > Distort & Transform > Transform effect. This performance degradation was not present in previous versions of the application.

   I use the Transform feature extensively in my templates. Following the latest update, I am encountering this exact same issue across all of my Windows 11 PCs.

   I hope this gets addressed and fixed in the next version update.

5. No reliable AutoSave - Cloud files constantly falling out of sync

   I saw another thread on this from 2023. It is 2026 and this issue persists...
   I am using the latest version of Illustrator on Windows.

   When I work on a new project, sometimes the AIC file simply stops autosaving. For whatever reason, it falls out of sync - which, for me, is not the issue - I guess it's understandable that sometimes files get corrupted, or are too big, or something in the sync fails. I don't understand the technicalities behind it, but I can understand it happens.

   My issue is, the fact that there is no BIG pop up alert letting me know "Your file has stopped autosaving, if something crashes now you will lose all progress", is crazy. For some reason the File Recovery feature doesn't work with AIC files that have fallen out of sync, it only works with local files. So essentially, if i use the cloud, and something crashes (which lets be honest can happen often even on my quite powerful PC), I am sure to lose progress - and with it time and money.
   This, along with the fact there is no longer an AutoSave feature on local files, which I remember existed before the cloud was introduced, makes it so Adobe Illustrator is essentially a program with no reliable AutoSave feature.
   In 2026, and with the constantly climbing pricing that adobe charges me, honestly I can't see how solving this issue wouldn't be at the VERY TOP of the priority list for feature development? What's more frustrating (and costly) than losing progress and having no reliable way to protect myself against it, that doesn't involve putting a reminder to manually save every 10 minutes?

6. Space characters differ in Illustrator and InDesign

   OS: MacOS 15.7.7 (24G720)
   Illustrator-Version: 30.6
   Illustrator offers the space characters Quarter, Half-quarter, Twenty-fourth, Eighth.
   Using these space characters in Adobe Illustrator leads to completely different results (spacing) than in Adobe InDesign.
   Is this a program error or a font error?
   I would also like to see the space characters menu expanded to include the Sixth, Eighth, Quarter, Third.

   The font team confirmed Illustrator is using the space glyph instead of the Unicode glyph (U+2009). Logged and will be fixed.

7. 2026 completely misrenders Inner Glow applied to an individual fill

   If I apply an Inner Glow to an individual fill, I just get a flat fill in the glow color at the desired transparency, with no glow effect going on.

   This is new to 2026, it worked fine in 2025.

   Repro file is attached.

8. グラデーション90度で印刷時に天地が逆転する

   A4でアートボードを２つ、両面デザインで作成。
   １つのアートボードに、背景色として長方形を設置。グラデーションで色を塗り、角度を90度に設定。
   すると、印刷時に天地がそのアートボードだけ逆転します。グラデーションの角度を０度や180度にすると正常の天地で印刷されます。グラデーションではなく単色にしても正常に印刷されます。グラデーション（どの色配置でも）にして、かつ90度設定にすると、天地が逆転します。PDF出力する場合、見た目は正常ですが印刷すると天地が反転されてしまい、同じです。
   まったく新しいドキュメントで作成して試しても再現されました。
   プリンターとの相性の問題、プリンター側の問題もあるかと思いますが、イラストレーター上での操作によって発生したりしなかったりするので、念のためご報告でした。

9. Exporting .ai files using Export for Screens includes clipped content from neighboring artboards

   Sending in this bug report for my employer. When Export for Screens makes individual .ai files, it isn't isolating the artwork by artboard. It's also recognizing any cropped images from neighboring artboards that are touching the cropped images on the artboard being exported. Command Y (preview) shows the wireframes and how much stuff is overlapping.

   She tested positioning the artboards far enough apart so none of the neighboring artboards' cropped images are overlapping in preview. This worked, and the ai files export perfectly clean. However, she needs the artboards to be close together for this particular workflow.

10. GPU Preview Displays Incorrect Colors and Transparency in Illustrator

    I am experiencing two related display problems in Adobe Illustrator when GPU Preview is enabled. Both problems disappear when I switch to Preview on CPU, but CPU Preview disables Animated Zoom and makes Illustrator less pleasant to use.

    Issue 1: Colors displayed in Illustrator do not match exported files

    While working in Illustrator, the colors shown on the artboard look noticeably different from the colors in the exported artwork.

    This occurs with both:

    PNG files exported through Export As
    PDF files saved from Illustrator

    The exported PNG and PDF match each other. When the Illustrator artwork is copied and pasted into Photoshop, the colors in Photoshop also match the exported PNG and PDF. This indicates that the actual artwork and exports are correct, but Illustrator’s GPU Preview is displaying the colors incorrectly.

    Switching from GPU Preview to Preview on CPU causes the artwork inside Illustrator to match the PNG, PDF, and Photoshop versions.

    Issue 2: A white rectangle changes the appearance of transparent artwork

    I have an image set to 50% opacity. When I place a white rectangle behind it, the image becomes visibly darker, even though the rectangle is the same white as the artboard.

    The white rectangle has the following settings:

    Blend mode: Normal
    Opacity: 100%
    No opacity mask
    No special transparency settings

    A 50% opacity image should not change appearance when a true white rectangle is placed behind it on an already white artboard.

    Again, switching to Preview on CPU resolves the display problem.

    Steps to reproduce

    Open a CMYK Illustrator document.
    Enable GPU Performance and GPU Preview.
    Place artwork containing light or muted colors on the artboard.
    Export the artwork as a PNG and PDF.
    Compare the exported files with the artwork displayed inside Illustrator.
    The colors displayed in Illustrator may differ from the exported files.
    Place an image at 50% opacity on the white artboard.
    Add a 100% white rectangle behind the image.
    The transparent image may become darker in GPU Preview.
    Switch to View → Preview on CPU.
    The colors and transparency display correctly.

    Expected result

    GPU Preview and CPU Preview should display the same colors and transparency. The Illustrator preview should also match the exported PNG and PDF files. Adding a true white rectangle behind transparent artwork should not darken the artwork.

    Actual result

    GPU Preview displays inaccurate colors and incorrectly darkens transparent artwork when a white rectangle is added. CPU Preview displays the artwork correctly.

    Why the current workaround is not acceptable

    Preview on CPU corrects the display, but Animated Zoom is only available with GPU Performance. This forces users to choose between accurate artwork display and normal, smooth navigation.

    For a professional design application, users need to be able to trust the colors and transparency shown on the artboard while retaining standard GPU features such as Animated Zoom.

    System information

    Illustrator version: [ADD VERSION]
    macOS version: [ADD VERSION]
    Mac model: [ADD MODEL]
    Document color mode: CMYK
    Transparency blend space: Document CMYK
    GPU Performance: Enabled
    Animated Zoom: Enabled
    GPU Preview: Incorrect
    CPU Preview: Correct

    I am experiencing two related display problems in Adobe Illustrator when GPU Preview is enabled. Both problems disappear when I switch to Preview on CPU, but CPU Preview disables Animated Zoom and makes Illustrator less pleasant to use.

11. Revert text on paths back to how it used to be

    Fitting text to paths used to be a simple process whereby you could easily create a path from a shape, by slicing the object and creating an open ended path, (or draw one), selecting Text to path from the pull out menu on the text tool, typing and arranging text on the path and being able to adjust whether it was to appear on the top or bottom of the path, just by dragging the centre line. (All without having to go to multiple other menus/instruction boxes). I would suggest it wasn't broken, so why was it 'fixed'?

12. Memory usage continuously increases over time in Illustrator 2026 and is not released properly (macOS M4 Max)

    Environment

    • Adobe Illustrator 2026 (Desktop)
    • Adobe Illustrator 2025 (for comparison)
    • Apple M4 Max
    • 64GB Unified Memory
    • macOS (latest)
    • GPU Performance: OFF
    • Real-time Drawing & Editing: OFF

    Workflow

    I use Illustrator as a visual reference board containing an extremely large archive of linked images (not embedded). I arrange thousands of reference images on large canvases to compare composition, color, style, motion, and visual ideas. This workflow is essential for my art direction and animation production because spatial comparison is much more efficient than browsing images individually.

    Illustrator 2026 performs significantly faster than Illustrator 2025 with this workflow, which is a great improvement.

    Issue

    I compared the same Illustrator file in both Illustrator 2025 and Illustrator 2026.

    Immediately after opening the same file:
    - Illustrator 2025 uses approximately 5.5 GB of memory.
    - Illustrator 2026 uses approximately 24.2 GB of memory.

    This higher initial memory usage seems acceptable because Illustrator 2026 performs much faster.

    However, after approximately 30 minutes of normal work on the same file, Illustrator 2026's memory usage continuously increases to approximately 77.5 GB, while swap memory reaches approximately 29 GB.

    No additional Illustrator documents were opened during this period. I simply continued working with the same file.

    In previous tests, I also observed that even after closing all documents and leaving only a new blank document open, Illustrator continued to retain a very large amount of memory. Memory was only released after quitting and restarting Illustrator.

    Illustrator 2025 is slower with the same workflow, but it does not show this continuous memory growth.

    This behavior appears to be a memory leak or cached memory that is not being released correctly.

    I attached two screenshots:
    1. Immediately after opening the same Illustrator file.
    2. Approximately 30 minutes later while working with the same file.

    Please investigate this behavior, especially for workflows involving very large linked-image reference libraries used for visual comparison in art direction, animation, concept art, and design.

    Thank you.

14. Link to a EPS file can cause saved file to be unopenable

    Apparently having a link to a specific EPS file can cause the AI file to be unopenable after being saved (cause "file partially opened" dialog, loading only the previews).

    Unfortunately, I can't join the EPS file causing the bug. The EPS file seems to be normal.

    Once I saved the EPS to AI and replace with the link to the AI image, the bug disappears.

15. SVG output is wrong size

    I have to create SVG files for work, and they MUST have specific dimensions. I've been using Ai 2023 with zero problems. When I "View SVG Code" the width, height, and viewBox values are all correctly set to the size of the artboard.

    I've been avoiding upgrading for obvious reasons, but the other day I decided to try out Ai 2026. Thank GOD I installed a new instance and kept 2023! I had to generate an SVG and the size is WRONG. It appears to be using the OBJECT size, not the ARTBOARD size as it should.

    I tried changing CSS Properties, the only one that produces the CORRECT dimensions is "Style Attributes (Entity References) -- WHICH WILL BE REMOVED IN THE FUTURE.

    I'm on Windows 10, in case that matters.

16. タブレットドライバとの相性

    Windows 11、Intuos Pro PTK-470、最新ドライバーを使用しています。Illustrator 30.6ではダイヤルの「ホイール」「ホイール(水平)」がキャンバス上で動作しませんが、29.8.9では正常に動作します。ChromeやIllustratorのパネルでは30.6でも正常です。キャンバスのみ再現します。

17. Illustrator 2026 embeds each duplicate bitmap image separately in PDFs, causing extremely large files

    Mac Studio M2 Ultra, Tahoe 26.5.1

    Illustrator 2026 embeds duplicate instances of the same bitmap separately when saving a PDF, causing the PDF size to increase with every duplicate.

    To test this, I used one 2000 × 2000 PNG file that is 7.5 MB. I placed it once, duplicated the placed object a total of 9 times, and saved the same layout as a PDF using comparable settings in Illustrator 2025, Illustrator 2026, and InDesign 2026.

    Results:

    Illustrator 2025 version 29.8, Adobe PDF Library 17: 8 MB
    Illustrator 2026 version 30.3, Adobe PDF Library 18: 71 MB
    InDesign 2026 version 21.4, Adobe PDF Library 18: 7.9 MB

    Illustrator 2025 and InDesign 2026 appear to embed the bitmap once and reuse it for the duplicate placements. Illustrator 2026 appears to embed the bitmap data separately for each duplicate instance.

    The InDesign result shows that Adobe PDF Library 18 can produce an efficient PDF from the same duplicated bitmap layout. This points to a regression in Illustrator 2026 or Illustrator 2026’s integration with PDF Library 18, rather than a general limitation of PDF Library 18.

    Expected result: Illustrator should embed each unique bitmap once and reference that image for all duplicate placements, as Illustrator 2025 does.

    Actual result: Illustrator 2026 creates a PDF many times larger because each duplicate bitmap instance appears to be embedded separately.

18. Freeform Gradient fails to apply / disappears on existing objects

    I have a problem with the Freeform Gradient tool in Illustrator. When I apply it — whether in linear (lines) or points mode — the fill appears empty, the gradient never actually applies. It's even affecting other objects that already had this type of gradient applied in previous documents; when I open them in Illustrator and try to copy or move them, the gradient disappears and the shape turns transparent.

19. Content of Dynamic Symbols moves when moved with the Selection tool.

    It was recently mentioned on the Illustrator forum that the content of Dynamic Symbols is shifting when the symbol is moved with the black selection tool. Changing the type to Static seems to solve the problem.
    From the forum:
    https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/critical-bug-objects-inside-symbol-shift-out-of-place-when-moved-with-selection-tool-cannot-undo-1633605?tid=1633605&postid=7715146#post7715146
    and an older one with an example file:

20. Linked Images approximately above 268 megapixels render blank in illustrator (macOS)

    System Information

    Illustrator Version - 30.6

    Operating System
    macOS Tahoe - V 26.5.2

    Hardware
    Apple M1 Max

    I have identified what appears to be an undocumented rendering limitation or bug affecting very large linked raster images in Adobe Illustrator.
    Illustrator successfully creates the link and the object appears in the document, however the linked image renders completely blank. No warning or error message is displayed.
    After extensive testing, the behaviour appears to correlate only with the total pixel count of an individual linked image, rather than file format, colour mode, GPU settings or computer hardware.
    The behaviour has also been reproduced on other Macs with different hardware specifications.

    Image Details

    Original image:
    TIFF
    8-bit
    CMYK
    72ppi
    LZW compression (also tested with ZIP and Uncompressed)
    Linked (not embedded)

    The issue also occurs when saved as:
    PSD
    PSB

    Expected Result
    The linked image should display correctly.

    Actual Result
    The image link is created successfully.
    The image occupies the correct size on the artboard.
    The Links panel reports no errors.
    However, the image itself is completely blank.
    No warning or error message is displayed.

    Troubleshooting Performed

    The following changes did not resolve the issue:
    CPU Preview
    GPU Preview
    GPU Performance disabled
    TIFF → PSD
    TIFF → PSB
    RGB instead of CMYK
    CMYK instead of RGB
    LZW compression
    ZIP compression
    Uncompressed TIFF
    Multiple Macs

    Test Results

    Image Dimensions Total Pixels Result
    17,803 × 23,737 422.5 MP Blank
    14,000 × 20,350 284.9 MP Blank
    16,500 × 16,500 272.3 MP Blank
    16,384 × 16,384 268.4 MP Blank
    16,100 × 16,100 259.2 MP Displays correctly
    13,351 × 20,013 267.2 MP Displays correctly

    Resampling the image below approximately 260–267 megapixels consistently restores normal behaviour.
    Changing only the image dimensions while keeping the total pixel count similar does not affect the result.
    This suggests the limitation is based on total pixels per linked image, rather than width or height.

    Why I believe this is a bug

    If Illustrator has a maximum supported raster size, I would expect:
    an error message when placing the image,
    or a warning that the image exceeds the supported limit.

    Instead, Illustrator:
    accepts the file,
    creates a valid link,
    displays the correct object size,
    but renders the image completely blank.

    This behaviour makes it difficult to determine whether the file is corrupt or whether Illustrator has exceeded an internal rendering limit.

    Suggested Improvement

    If there is an internal maximum raster size, Illustrator should:
    document the limitation,
    warn the user when placing the file,
    or generate a reduced-resolution preview while preserving the full-resolution linked image for output.

    A blank image with no warning is misleading and difficult to diagnose.

    I've used chat CPT to diagnose this issue as I couldn't see anyone reporting the same issue.

    Thank you for your time.

    The team is able to see the issue at their end with latest version of Illustrator on a Windows machine and is going to investigate it.
