  1. New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines

    This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)

    Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

  4. Illustrator 2026 Version 30.3 and later: The bottom of PSD files appears black when placed

    In Illustrator 2026 Version 30.3 and later, when placing CMYK PSD files (containing only a background with no layers), the bottom of the image turns black and the image does not display if the file size exceeds a certain pixel threshold.
    Testing shows that data exceeding approximately 24,000 x 24,000 pixels (over 2 GB) results in the portion exceeding that size appearing black. Even when exported to PDF, the black area remains.
    Additionally, the thumbnails in the Links panel and when selected also appear black.

    Data created in previous versions that worked fine also displays a black bottom on linked…

  5. ショートカット設定が起動のたびに初期化される現象 / Shortcut settings are reset every time the application is launched

    Urgent: Persistent Keyboard Shortcut Bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9)

    To the Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,

    This is a follow-up regarding a previously acknowledged bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9). Despite being confirmed as a bug, it remains unfixed in version 26.5.

    Issue:
    My custom keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F9) assigned to a specific "Align" command is being forcefully overwritten by the default "Pathfinder" panel shortcut upon every application launch.

    Impact:
    I have attempted to create and save new shortcut sets, but the application resets these to default every time it launches. This constant re-configuration disrupts my professional workflow and reduces productivity.

    Request:
    As this issue has been…

  6. Auto activate fonts option turns back on by it self

    Auto font activate keeps turning back on after I turn it off. I do not want it on because I use my own font service and sometimes I already have the fonts. When it auto adds the font it makes it so the font doesn't work at all then I have to go in cc app and scroll forever (because there is no search) to remove the font.

    Apparently the only fix is to completely turn of adobe fonts from the CC app which will remove all adobe fonts which is not what I want to do!! I still use…

  7. SAVED AS .ai files going back to older directories for linked files. BUG with links

    This has happened several times over the last 6 months. I regularly will open an .ai doc I did a few months ago (generally saved onto an SSD external drive), save as to my desktop (mac mini m4) and do updates to linked images in the file. Later the new .ai is packaged when finished and all the linked files are in the LINK folder. However, after closing and opening the file the next day, or days later, the .ai file has gone back to the original folder location and picked up the old links (linked names are generally saved…

  8. In version 30.5.1, Illustrator stopped writing color settings to ACEConfigCache2.lst, the file used for color settings synchronization.

    Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and Bridge use ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Color/ACEConfigCache2.lst to store and synchronize their active color settings preset names.

    Up through Illustrator 30.5, Illustrator correctly wrote its own color settings information to this file. However, starting with version 30.5.1, it not only stops writing its color settings entry, but also removes the Illustrator 2026 entry from the file entirely.

    Illustrator 30.5.1 still appears to read color settings written by Bridge and can apply the corresponding preset correctly. However, given that it no longer maintains its own entry in ACEConfigCache2.lst, I would like to ask whether this behavior is intentional or if…

  9. Unicode - or wrong code - in file names

    File names with strange characters produce strange and inconsistent info in the DocumentAfterSave and DocumentAfterActivate events. I keep adding regexes to my "fix name" routine....
    These messages belong to the same file:
    <documentAfterActivate><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%B9%20Basis-edit.ai</url><name>Designelemente basierend auf geometrischer und konstruierter Grafik ¹ Basis-edit.ai</name></documentAfterActivate>
    <documentAfterSave><url>file:///X:/Symbole/Ornamente,%20grafische%20Designelemente,%20Blumendekor,%20einfache%20Grundformen/Designelemente%20basierend%20auf%20geometrischer%20und%20konstruierter%20Grafik%20%C2ą%20Basis-edit.ai</url></documentAfterSave>
    So, this ¹ is represented as %B9 in one place and %C2ą (note: a letter with a waggy tail) in the other

    OS: Win 11, Illustrator all versions (at least back to 2019)

  10. 効果メニューのグレーアウト

    Mac OS 26.5.1のメニューバーの効果メニューがグレーアウトし選択できない。

  11. 書き出し時の同名ファイルの警告が出ない

    png、jpgでの書き出しのとき、すでに同じファイル名がある場合に警告メッセージが出なくなり、そのまま上書きされてしまいます。
    上書きの警告メッセージの出し方、またはそれ自体が無くなったのであれば、改善していただきたいです。ver30.5.1です。
    ちなみに、ネットでいろいろ調べると「環境設定」に「書き出し」があるとか出てくるのですが、その書き出し自体の項目も無くなっています。

  15. エンベロープにしたオブジェクトを極端に拡大すると結果がズレる/Envelope Distort becomes misaligned at large scale

    問題の説明:
    エンベロープにしたオブジェクトを極端に拡大すると結果がズレる

    再現手順:
    1. ドキュメントを作成してオブジェクトを描画し、適当なカラーを設定する
    →長方形や楕円形など、何でも良い。確認しやすくするため、小さめに作ると良い
    2. オブジェクトを選択し、「オブジェクト」メニュー→「エンベロープ」→「メッシュで作成」を実行する
    3. ダイアログで好きなメッシュ数を設定し、エンベロープを作成する
    4. 出来上がったエンベロープを選択したまま、3000~4000%など大きなパーセンテージで拡大する。
    →バウンディングボックス、拡大・縮小ツール、変形パネルでの数値指定など、拡大の方法は何でも良い

    実際の結果:
    特定の大きさを超えると、エンベロープ内のオブジェクトがメッシュからズレた大きさで変形される

    期待された結果:
    どれだけ拡大してもメッシュに合わせた大きさでエンベロープ内のオブジェクトが変形される

    回避方法:
    必要な大きさまで拡大してからエンベロープを作成する

    10px、10mmなど、小さめのオブジェクトでエンベロープを作成すると結果がわかりやすいです。
    単純なオブジェクトだけでなく、イラストのような複雑なアートワークで作成したエンベロープも、ある程度の大きさを超えると表示がおかしくなります。

  16. Blend with a straight spine doesn’t look the same as a blend without it

    Here I’m checking a simple blend. One copy has a spine (a straight line with no handles), the other has it removed. They should be identical, but they aren't — the one with a spine is not uniform. I test this with the new Blend panel in Beta 30.6.0.27 (with the acceleration set to 0), and it works the same way as in the GA 30.4 release.

  17. Live dimensions expand when pasted or duplicated using any method

    If you want to make a copy of existing artwork with dimensions, you have to remember to lock the layer (which gets unlocked anytime you create a new dimension), and select only the artwork, or these live dimensions just die...

    ...but the dimensions don’t get copied over if you copy something with move dialog! There is no such an option in the dialog! And Opt/Alt moving won’t create these! And even duplicating an artboard!!!

    Same deal with Copy and Paste commands.

    Infuriating.

  18. When artboard is extended layers aren't able to be shown in newly created artboard space

    See video for explanation. Just kidding I'm unable to post a video or Adobe doesn't want me showing their utter incompetence. AI is definetly turning this company into a penny stock before too long.

  19. Illustrator and scripting inconsistent words[] when tabs used

    Can someone explain the results when the following is run on an Illustrator document with one text frame?

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames[0]
    myTextFrame.contents = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\rLorem\tipsum\tdolor\tsit\tamet";
    alert(myTextFrame.words.length);
    alert(myTextFrame.lines[0].words.length);
    alert(myTextFrame.lines[1].words.length);
    for (l=0; l<2; l++)
    {
    concat = "#";
    for (i=0; i<myTextFrame.lines[l].words.length; i++)
    {
    concat += myTextFrame.lines[l].words[i].contents;
    concat += "#";
    }
    alert(concat);
    }

  20. Illustrator on Windows 11 does not reflect custom paper size selected in printer preferences

    I use Adobe Illustrator for production label printing with a tsc label printer.

    On Windows 10, when I opened Illustrator Print > Setup > Printer Preferences, changed or created a custom paper size, and clicked OK, the selected paper size was immediately reflected in Illustrator’s print dialog.

    After upgrading to Windows 11, this no longer works.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an Illustrator file.
    2. Go to File > Print.
    3. Click Setup / Preferences for the printer.
    4. Create or select a custom paper size in the printer driver.
    5. Click OK and return to Illustrator’s print dialog.
