  1. Add an option to constrain Illustrator to only move the selected object

    In Adobe Illustrator, it's frustrating that when I select an object and attempt to move it, the software sometimes selects and moves a different nearby object instead—even though I clicked precisely on the one I had already selected.

    I would like an option to constrain Illustrator to always operate on the currently selected object, ignoring nearby objects unless I explicitly reselect something else.

    This behavior would be similar to Photoshop's "Auto-Select Layer" toggle, where users can choose whether to transform the currently selected layer or automatically switch to a different one based on the click location.

    Such an option would…

  3. [Illustrator 2025, 29.1][Win11 23H2] Installed ICC Color Profiles Become Unavailable After System Shutdown

    My Win11 has fast boot disabled, so it gets completely shut down rather than just hibernated.

    Once I shut down the computer and start it again, all installed ICC profiles disappear from View > Proof Setup > Custom... > Device to Simulate

    They reappear after deleting the following files:

    1) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ACECache11.lst

    2) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Color\ACEConfigCache2.lst

  5. テキスト右揃え不具合

    OS / Windows 11 Home 23H2
    Illustrator 2025(バージョン 29.1)

    右揃えテキスト中に四分アキ等の文字が含まれ、アキの設定を自動の場合、テキスト右端がズレます。
    自動設定ではなく、「アキなし」や個別にアキ量を「二分アキ」等に指定するとこの問題は解消されます。

  6. Move Tool Malfunction

    I can't select the move tool properly-- or any other tool in this case. The main selected tool is stuck in the hand tool. After a while, it switches to the move tool and it gets crazier!!

    Whenever I select a layer or an object, there's a 1-3 second delay. Can this be fixed? My projects are affected. I tried resetting the app already.

  7. Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.

    Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.

  8. Ghosting and image retention in UI panels of Illustrator & Photoshop with 5k Monitor

    Since Illustrator 29 and new Photoshop I suffer an annoying ghosting bug on my LG Ultra Fine Monitor with 5k (at an iMac Pro from 2017). It is only related to Adobe products related and does not appear in any other app!

    Even if the panels or windows are not in the foreground, while using e.g. a browser window for some time in front, there appears a ghosting in the tool panels from the window which is in the background of the UI panels, at the moment when switching back to Illustrator.

    This is really annoying.

    Switching Illustrator to any…

  9. Can't add new items to my CC Libraries when working from home

    Here is my issue, I have two Mac computers both running the latest version of the Ventura operating system (13.6.7 at the time of this post), one of them is at the office and the other one is at home for work I do when away from the office.

    I have a teams account with Adobe provided by my employer. I log into CC using the same ID on both machines. On my computer at the office, I can add new items to any of my Adobe Libraries in any of the apps. However, on my home computer I can't…

  10. 2025 (29.0.1) is giving tons of errors on preview.

    I have a file with some simple multi-gradient appearance stacks that constantly throws two errors every time I load it, and every time I switch outline mode on and off. Also the document is marked as modified the instant I load it.

    Works fine on 2023. Dunno how it works on 2024, I never switched to that one. Constantly complains on 2025.

    This is happening in CPU preview mode, I would check if it's happening in GPU mode as well but I deleted 2025 before thinking about that detail.

    Uservoice isn't letting me upload this file so I've posted it…

  13. Cannot double-click on a text to switch to the Text tool and activate text editing mode as before

    Since yesterday Illustrator (29.1) has virtually become unusable to me and I have no idea what happened. I didn't install any new apps.

  14. Hand tool is getting stuck in 29.1, massive performance issues

    Since yesterday Illustrator has virtually become unusable to me and I have no idea what happened. I didn't install any new apps.

    The issue is seems to be focused around using spacebar to pan around my document. It gets stuck on the hand tool and the pan itself is laggy. When using the middle button on my mouse, the pan works perfectly though.

    Left clicking on elements and manipulating them is an unsurmountable task with these issues, effectively making Illustrator unusable to me now...

    I really hope someone else is also experiencing this, but I haven't been able to find…

  15. Undo Release Clipping Mask Does Nothing

    I recently noticed that if I unclip an object, by accident or necessity, that I cannot undo the step either through the menu Undo or Command key Undo.

    I can clip and Command-Z to unclip.
    I can manually unclip and Command-Z to reclip.
    If I clip, I Command-z to unclip and then Command + Option + Z to redo my last action and it will properly clip.

    But if I just manually unclip, and then use the Undo command to reclip it like it was? It doesn't work. Nothing happens and it moves on in the history.

    I am on…

  17. 29.1.0 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing on right click menu when a nested group is selected.

    Illustrator version 29.1.0
    Windows 10.0.19045

    To replicate:

    1. Create group that contains a group
    2. Select group
    3. Right click the group
    4. 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing. In its place is the new 'Ungroup all' item.

    When the above actions are performed to a group without a nested group, the 'Isolate selected group' menu item appears as it should.

  18. Stroke applied to text not appearing in exported images

    Illustrator doesn't export stroke applied to a text element, it shows without the stroke. It only worked when stroke is outlined. Does anyone knows a way to fix it?

  19. Contextual Task Bar Preventing Artboard Creation

    Normally when you click on an object you can create an artboard to fit to that graphic. However, when the Contextual Task Bar is open it bugs out and doesn't allow this.

  20. Significant Performace Issues after Updating to V29.1

    I'm having significant issues using Illustrator 25 v29.1 and it's very frustrating as I'm using the program for work related activities. Any time I try to alt+drag and artboard to copy it, I get the spinning wheel of death on my Macbook Pro. Even if I try to Command+C and Command+V paste the artboard, I have the same issue. And when I look at how much memory is being used, it's not alot so I don't undertand what is happening. I've reset preferences, restarted the application, restarted the program and still have the same issue. Whereas a file of the…
