+ (plus) as keyboard shortcut not working for adding anchor point tool
The keyboard shortcut for adding anchor point tool is by default + (plus).
About 1 month ago it stopped working.
I have not changed the shortcut settings. Changing the add anchor point tool shortcut to some other key works fine, it's just + (plus) that is not working. I have also tried to make + (plus) as shortcut key for other tools, but that's not working either.
So the problem seem to be the + (plus) key itself?
Only problem is, it works just fine in text, as you can see here. It works just as well in Ai when…2 votes -

Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list
This is a 2 part issue:
If I select all and outline the type the document doesn't outline anything that is in a transparency mask. This is a major flaw that needs to be resolved as has lead to mistakes being printed with default text.
Select all and outline needs to either include everything within transparency masks or a new command to outline text within these masks needs to be created as a separate option.A huge worry is I released work last week where I believed everything in the transparency masks had been correctly outlined by individually going in…

ファイルを開き直すとカーニングがリセットされる
.aiファイルでデザインを作成し保存、ファイルを一度閉じてから再び開くと、特定のテキストのカーニング設定がリセットされます。
発生条件は不明ですが、今のところファイル中に1つだけ現れています。
ただし、いろいろ設定をいじって一つを解決すると、別の場所に新たに発生する可能性があります(これは作業前に全ての問題を把握してから取り掛からなかったのではじめから2箇所の問題があったのかもしれません)。現時点では対処法が見つかっていないので、目を皿にして入稿チェックデータを確認し、見つけ次第直し、の繰り返ししかありません。
後から修正のできない印刷物にとっては重大な問題ですので、調査と修正をお願いしたいです。

Incorrect Blend Mode Appearance When Opening Illustrator 2024 File in Illustrator 2025
I’ve encountered a potential bug in Illustrator. When I open a file created in Illustrator 2024 (version 28.7.4) in Illustrator 2025 (version 29.2.1), the appearance applied to the text does not display correctly.
For example, in the attached file, the text at the bottom changes to a completely different design when opened in Illustrator 2025, which is causing a significant problem.

SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.
I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:
Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.
This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:
- FIRST select "Save As..."
- Choose SVG as your format.
- Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
- Change the precision value from 1…

Incorrect Zoom Label when Disabling "Display Print Size At 100% Zoom" Preference
With an artboard zoomed to 100%, and after disabling the preference "Display Print Size At 100% Zoom" preference, the zoom level is incorrectly reading "52.55%" until I switch Pixel Preview on and off again. See the attached screen recording for the exact steps to recreate this issue with a 1080px x 1080px artboard.

Template Layers Still Visible on Export for PNG and JPG
I am creating a logo package for a client and am attempting to export multiple logos / graphics with transparent backgrounds using the export panel. I've already confirmed multiple times that my PNG settings include transparency and that the View > Overprint Preview setting is unchecked. My background layer is set to non printing, however any PDF or PNG I export includes a visible background layer. I can completely hide this layer to avoid exporting it, but then I can't see my artwork correctly. The whole point of non printing layers is to see them when you are designing without…

Left mouse keeps registering double clicks in Illustrator 2025
My mouse keeps registering double clicks when I only click once. For example when I select multiple object to align to a key object, Illustrator opens up isolation mode on the key object. It is not a hardware issue as I have tried 2 other mouses, same result. I do not experience similar issues in any other programs, just Illustrator. I also reset my preferences and still the error persists. This is so frustrating as I I cannot work effectively and before I updated to 2025 version I did not have this issue. Please assist.

Wireframe Conversion of 3D objects distorts the paths, straightens curves
Converting 3D text to a wireframe often doesn’t show the curves of fonts correctly. During the process, these curves often turn into straight lines or rough shapes, losing the original look of the font or the 3D preview.

Changes made in acrobat PDF not reflected when opening in Illustrator
Sometimes, text and graphical changes made using Adobe Acrobat on PDF's are not reflected when opened in Illustrator. For example, a client sent a PDF file of a banner with a phone number on it, when viewed in Acrobat the number is different than the one in Illustrator because the client made the edit in Acrobat. It would sure be a great feature if a file would open properly in across different adobe products.

画像トレースのパスが粗すぎる
手書きの線画を画像トレースで取り込む時、パスが粗すぎて手書きのニュアンスが消えてしまいます。
以前のバージョンまでは、細かくトレースされていました。
イラスト制作が主な仕事なのですが、仕事に使用する上で致命的な欠点です。
仕方がないので、まだ以前のバージョンを使用しています。

I can no longer move my objects freely
I can no longer move my objects freely as before, they are forced to be moved as if there were pixels. The methods are similar to InDesign and I can't be as precise as before because I'm forced to put an object in a place I don't want. How can i deactivate that or which settings should I change? I cant find anything.

New document page dimensions resetting as I'm typing them
Create a new document, type in desired page width, press tab to go down to the height field and suddenly it's reverted back to what was in those fields previously. Have to go back and re-enter the correct dimensions.
There is a 2-page discussion about it here, including someone's video capture of it on page 1:
Been having the same issue here for a little while. Just been dealing with it, but it's rather frustrating.
I'm on Windows 10, 22H2, Illustrator 29.2.1 (64-bit).

Conversion from CMYK to Grayscale is wrong
Converting CMYK values to Grayscale will not give the expected result. C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converts to 100% Grayscale in a CMYK document.
The same C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converted to R: 92 G: 81 B: 76
in an RGB document it converts to 67,16% Grayscale, which looks more like the expected Gray value.4 votes
