  3. Locate Object highlights the first child of a selected group instead of the group itself

    When we select a group on canvas and click the Locate Object button, the tree gets unfolded and scrolled to the group.
    But for some strange reason, the item highlighted in the tree is not the group itself, but the first child within.
    This behavior is not new (although there was a time when Ai even used to keep the layer highlighted instead), but it feels odd.

  4. Please allow files to reopen after crash/restart/reopen

    Please please Adobe - why is it almost every other company has managed to give us the option to reopen after quit with the same files open but you still haven't?? Today Creative Cloud told me I had 7 updates available and I thought, ok great, maybe just maybe the illustrator one fixes my snap to point problem. So I had to take a photo of what docs I had open (!), quit Illustrator and go back to Creative Cloud to do the update... only to find that it had changed its mind and I only had two updates but…

  5. Snap to point no longer works after update

    Updated to 29.3.1, snap to point stopped working despite being turned on. I rolled back to 29.3, and it works like normal.

  8. Align art to pixel grid applied by default when adding vector images to CC libraries

    Steps to reproduce: Select a vector graphic in an Adobe Illustrator file and click the Add ("+") icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel. Choose "Graphic." (note: the Illustrator file containing the graphic does not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.)

    Expected result: The newly created library asset should not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.

    Actual result: The library asset has "Align art to pixel grid" applied.

    I'm forced to uncheck "Align art to pixel grid," close, and then re-open the library asset. This removes "Align art to pixel grid" about half the time.

    I'm on…

  9. Layers palette filter grabs focus when pressing Ctrl-C

    Pressing Ctrl-C to copy something activates the focus on the filter field in the Layers palette. Using keyboard shortcuts becomes a landmine when this happens because you can inadvertently turn off layers or, in some cases, slow Illustrator way down by pasting SVG data into the field (Ctrl-V often follows pressing Ctrl-C). When the latter happens, Illustrator tries to filter by the text in the field, and it can take quite a while sometimes to regain focus enough to clear out the field. More often than not, however, I have to force quit and restart.

    A potential side effect of…

  11. 異体字を指定したグリフに対してSVGフィルタを適用するとデフォルトのグリフにフォールバックする

    macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
    Illustrator ver.29.3.1

    再現手順
    1. ポイントテキストをドキュメント上に作成し「ABCD」と入力し、各グリフを異体字（添付のサンプルではu+0041 nalt5等を指定）に変更する。
    2.作成したテキストに任意のSVGフィルタを適用する。
    3.異体字を指定したグリフがデフォルトのグリフにフォールバックした状態でレンダリングされる。

    期待する結果
    指定した異体字のままSVGフィルタが適用される。

    実際の結果
    異体字はデフォルトのグリフに変更された状態でレンダリングされる。

    EN Translated:
    Step to Reproduce
    1. create a point text on the document, type "ABCD" and change each glyph to a alternate glyph (in the attached sample, specify u+0041 nalt5, etc.).
    2. Apply any SVG filter to the created text.
    3. The alterrnate glyphs are rendered with fallback to the default glyphs.

    Expected result
    The SVG filter will be applied with the alternate glyphs.

    Actual result
    The alternate glyphs are rendered with the glyphs changed to the default glyphs.

    EN Translated:
    Step to Reproduce
    1. Create a point text on the document and enter any text.
    2. Apply any SVG filter to the created text.
    3. Set the kerning between characters to Metrics.

    2.作成したテキストに任意のSVGフィルタを適用する。
    3.テキストのトラッキングを適当に入力するかoption+→で文字感覚を操作する。
    4.テキストハイライトは変化するが、フィルタープレビューは変化しない。
    5.また、あらかじめトラッキングを適用した文字列にSVGフィルタを適用するとトラッキングが解除された状態でSVGフィルタが適用される。

    期待する結果
    ver.28のようにSVGフィルタを適用してもトラッキングが機能する。

    実際の結果
    トラッキングを行ってもSVGフィルタのレンダリングが変化しない。

    EN Translated:
    Step to Reproduce
    1. Create a point text on the document and enter any text.
    2. Apply any SVG filter to the created text.
    3. Enter text tracking as desired or use Option+ARROW to manipulate the text tracking.
    4. The text highlight will change, but the filter preview will not.
    5. Also, if you apply an SVG filter to a text with tracking applied beforehand, the SVG filter will be…

  14. White words invisible on export

    There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

  15. 3D Effects dithering in Illustrator for MacOS

    I'm noticing in Illustrator version 29.3.1 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 a graphics problem and dithering of objects that have a 3D effect applied. Specifically, I'm using the 'Inflate' effect and am seeing objects sometimes as dithered or pixelated and others that are smooth and normal. I can temporarily smooth the dither if I move the object on the screen, but then other objects with the same effect can have dithers. I'm using a MacBook ProM4 with 48GB and also two 4K 32" monitors. If I move the Illustrator window to another screen, the dithering still remains on some objects unless…

  17. Custom toolbars with plugin tools rearrange themselves alphabetically on launch

    Windows 11, Illustrator 29.3.1
    I use a custom toolbar with the tools I use most frequently (many Astute Graphics plugin tools), arranged in a specific order that I go to with muscle memory. Recently (2 updates ago?), they jumbled up – actually, they arranged themselves alphabetically descending top to bottom – but for my purposes, this is illogically jumbled, and I have to hunt for tools visually; it is very annoying and time-wasting. Then I noticed they were in my proper order again… next day, jumbled. I’ve worked out what is happening. First Illustrator launch of the day… alphabetically jumbled.…

  19. ウィンドウの移動の低速化

    症状は、各ウィンドウの移動が全体的にもっさりしてマウスへの追従が遅れるようになりました。

    イラストレーター　2024年版をiMac 2023にて最近まで問題なく使用できていましたが、
    2025にアップデートしたところ挙動に不安要素があったため、アンインストールしたのちに
    2024をインストールしなおしました。

    その際、各種パネル（書式、属性、リンクなど）をフローティングウィンドウにて移動した際に
    動作が全体的にもっさりするようになりマウスへの追従がワンテンポ遅れるように。

    環境設定のリセット。adobe製品の全種アンインストール。関連ファイル削除。
    からの再インストール。
    またOSの再インストール（macos sonoma）も行いましたが一向に改善されません。

    ただしパソコンをセーフモードで立ち上げ、イラストレーターを起動した際には
    ウィンドウの移動がさくさくと動きます。

    正直セーフモードで起動した際に動くということは何かしらが悪さしているのは明白なのですが…
    まったく理由がわからず…。地味にストレスです。

    同様の方いませんか。

  20. 中韓フォントの文字組みを変更してもアキが変わらない

    フォント「思源黑體 TW」の文字組みを「なし」や「行末約物半角」などに変更しても、アキ量が変化しない現象がありました。
    上記現象が発生したバージョンは下記の通りです。

    OS：Windows 10 Pro
    Illustrator CC：V 29.1、V 29.2、V 29.3.1（V 29.2.1、V 29.3は調べてません）
    なお、V 29.0、V 28.7.3 は当該現象は発生していません。

    問題発生時の手順：

    ・スクリプトを使いCSVデータを読み込んで文字情報を取得、文字をイラストに書き込む
    ・文字入力後、フォント「思源黑體 TW」へ変更
    上記どちらでも問題が発生します。

    想定していた結果：
    添付をご参照ください。
    　V29.0文字組み「なし」.png
    　V29.0    文字組み「行末約物半角」.png

    実際の結果：
    添付をご参照ください。
    　V29.1文字組み「行末約物半角」.png
    　V29.1    文字組み「なし」.png
    この２つの全角、半角のアキが同じ（変化がない）となっております。
    （どれを選んでも「なし」と同じ状態です）

    他のフォント（下記）で試してみましたが、アキ量の変化は確認できました。

    ・源ノ角ゴシック JP
    ・A-OTF UD新ゴ Pr6N L
    ・メイリオ
    ・游ゴシック

    Illustratorフォーラムにも投稿し他の方にもご検証いただいたところ、日本語以外（繁体字、簡体字、ハングル）のフォントで同様の現象が起きているようです。
    また、InDesign20.1(2025)でも同様の現象が起きているようです。

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0-discussions/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88-%E6%80%9D%E6%BA%90%E9%BB%91%E9%AB%94-tw-%E3%81%AE%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97%E7%B5%84%E3%81%BF%E3%82%92%E5%A4%89%E6%9B%B4%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AD%E3%81%8C%E5%A4%89%E3%82%8F%E3%82%89%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84/td-p/15194115?profile.language=ja

    バグであれば是非ともご対応いただけると幸いです。
    よろしくお願いいたします
