Pen’s rubber band lies when I try to continue a path with with an unnecessary handle
Please take a look at this file and the GIF attached.
Try these steps:
1. Grab Direct Selection and select the inner arc segment only
2. Cut it
3. Delete the rest
4. Paste the segment back (I used Paste in Front)
5. Now select the point at the top. When zoomed in, you can clearly see it has an unnecessary handle — the remnant of the deleted path, not contributing into the curvature of the path in question (BTW, if you save it right now, Ai would strip away both 'appndix' handles from both ends of the path —…1 vote -

Shift+Dragging an Object doesn’t constrain it
Dear Adobe, if I wanted to nudge an object across the screen with the arrow keys to retain it's current horizontal/vertical alignment I would be designing everything in Microsoft applications.

Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted
When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

Request for Improvement: Kerning Delay with Complex Background Data in Illustrator 2025
I am experiencing performance issues with Adobe Illustrator 2025 (latest version) in the following environment:
Environment: MacBook Pro 2024 (32GB RAM, SSD), macOS Sequoia
File Setup: Approximately 30 artboards with the same complex background (vector data or high-resolution images)
Issue: Kerning and text spacing adjustments result in a ~1-second delay per operation. Hiding the background does not resolve the issue, but removing it eliminates the delay.Attempted Solutions:
Disabled Navigator panel and layer thumbnails
Toggled GPU performance on/offRequest: Please optimize performance to ensure smooth kerning operations even with multiple artboards and complex background data.

Scaling down a placed image makes it unmovable
After placing a PNG and scaling it down to fit my artwork, I was no longer able to move the PNG into place. I could only select it in the Layers panel or by clicking and dragging over it. There does seem to be a threshold before this happens — if I only scale it down a small amount, it seems to behave as normal, but if I go beyond 50%, it becomes unstable. Of course, the workaround is to scale the PNG closer to the size needed, but this behavior seems to be new. I am pretty sure I…

Adobe illustrator hangs up/not responding whenever the application is closed
Whenever my adobe illustrator application is closed the hangs up for 5-10 seconds and enters "not responding" in windows before closing. This happens whether or not a file is open and has been replicated across user profiles in windows. Previous tickets with support for this issue are : ADB-39790766-X5M6, ADB-40236629-R6J6, and ADB-40751699-T0T2. I have uploaded logs from the adobe log collection tool under the following name: AdobeLogs20250711062022_057-win-GS.zxp and have a local copy as well if it is needed (unable to attach here).

Gradient does not rotate with object when using corner handles (manual transform)
When an object with a gradient is rotated manually using the bounding box (corner handles), the gradient does not rotate with the object.
However, using the Rotate tool or Object > Transform > Rotate results in correct gradient behavior.This silent inconsistency leads to invisible errors in print output — especially in professional workflows.
🧪 The bug was tested on multiple Illustrator versions, macOS and Windows, fresh installs, and clean preference files. It is reproducible.

Color Mixer in Control and Properties panels gets broken after using Tab
The Color Mixer in Properties and Control works oddly. Here, I try to navigate my fields with Tab, and then drag one slider — boom, it all breaks: sliders vanish, active fields become visually inactive, closing it becomes very hard...
I feel like it started happening when the generative virus put its tendrils into Ai.

Mi computador es un MacBook Pro 2022 - Chip Apple M2 - MacOs Sequoia 15.5, pensaba que era un error del Mac por lo que formatee el computador y volví a instalar la suite de adobe, pero no, el error sigue, fue a partir de la actualización hecha después del sábado 28 de Junio.

Using Inflate with 3D & Materials gives a [Clr?] error
