1. Gradient across stroke, inside opacity mask is thresholded for half the width of the stroke

   Applying a black-to-white gradient across a stroke inside an opacity mask results in a portion of the opacity mask not being applied, corresponding to half the width of the stroke, almost as if it is clipped by the stroke. If the path is subsequently outlined, which creates a mesh, the behavior is the same. If the object is a filled bezier curve, the behavior is normal with the shape masked as expected.

2. Illustrator Layers Panel Object Thumbnails No Longer Update After Edits

   In Illustrator, the object thumbnails in the Layers panel are no longer refreshing after changes are made to the artwork to match the new appearance. Because the preview remains outdated, it becomes harder to track changes and quickly identify the correct objects in complex files. This breaks a useful visual cue and makes the workflow less reliable and less efficient.

3. 30.3 SVG Code is not at the same scale size as same file code from 29.8.6. It's half the size

   Exporting a SVG file from 2026 30.3 the code is a complete different size than the same file code from 2025 29.8.6 and not in a good way.

   The image on the left is from 2025 and the image on the right is from 2026.

   This is a bug that shouldn't be in the 2026 version

4. Freeform Gradient is not rendred

   When I try to make a freeform gradient, the colors don't show up. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with a preview or something else.

6. Bleed is applied randomly when not enabled

   Issues with bleed. I keep saving a PDF withOUT bleed and it saves it with bleed. It randomly picks and choses which files it'll apply a bleed to and which it won't apply a bleed to, despite me picking NO BLEED on all of them. Very frustrating.

7. First Attempt to Copy Hex Not Working

   When I click into the fill properties under appearance, and click the "copy value" button, it always will deselect and NOT copy on first attempt. But if I try again after it will work. Similarly, when I first click on the value, it highlights, and then if I do CMD + C the value will become de-selected and not copied.

   Does this happen for Hex Code field only or are you seeing this on other fields as well? Also, let us know more about your system details and Illustrator version.

8. Strange loops and spikes when using pressure-sensitive brushes with XP-Pen Tablet on Illustrator 29.3 and newer on Windows 11

   An employee directed me to this forum to explain my problem (I explained everything here: https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/inconsistent-strokes-when-using-pressure-sensitive-brushes-with-xp-pen-tablet-illustrator-30-2-1-windows-11-1553544)

   My system:
   Windows 11, Version 25H2 (Windows Ink is deactivated, tried with activated too).
   Old tablet: Artist 12 Pro (XP-Pen)
   New tablet: XP-Pen Deco Pro MW
   I tried all available Illustrator versions (I will explain later).

   I am getting very weird and inconsistent strokes when drawing with a tablet and the Blob Brush Tool (please see screenshot and video attached EDIT: video too big pls see the article from the other forum, the video is posted there).

   I did a ton of troubleshooting (new drivers, new installations, new Windows installation, new tablet, different settings in Illustrator, the tablet, the graphics card, etc.). I also worked on a different PC - same problem.

   Then I tried different Illustrator versions and noticed that the problem appears in version 29.3 and newer.
   In 29.1 and 29.2 the paths look fine. (I am working with 29.2 at the moment as 29.1 had a bugged Smooth Tool.)

   My theory:
   Since this only appears with the Blob Brush, I think Illustrator somehow messes up the outer strokes of the Blob Brush. (Maybe this is even related to the bugged Smooth Tool in 29.1?) But I can't find any settings that affect the shape the Blob Brush creates.

   So here I am - thanks for reading, any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Hi,

   
   

   We weren't able to reproduce this issue on our end, so we'd like to gather a few more details to help us investigate further:

   
   

   1. Wacom/tablet driver version- Could you share the exact driver version you're currently using?

   2. Did this issue appear immediately after upgrading to a specific Illustrator version?

   3. Illustrator version currently installed?

9. Pressing Tab in Color panel glitches

   When adding a color to a object via the Color panel, normally you could use tab to move to the next field in the CMYK color options. Now and for the past few versions released it glitches any time you use Tab.

   To get it to work you now have to type in the number for C, click enter then click in the M, Enter/click Enter and so on, which is time consuming. If you don't do it this way it glitches after hitting.

   In the video i linked, the first try is using Tab, then the 2nd where it works is me hitting Enter after each number and then clicking into the next field.

10. Illustrator 30.3 Font Handling Issue

    The new 30.3 update for Mac introduced "improved font handling in Illustrator (macOS) for better consistency and reduced reliance on unsupported system resources"

    However, this seems to have broken auto font activation with the Typeface font manager.

    Is there a way to get this fixed?

    Thanks!

11. Unknown Error when saving

    Windows - Adobe Illustrator 2026

    When saving files for a proof - Press Quality, no editing, password, low resolution printing, no changes, no enabling copying of text - this error comes up on the first attempt every time.

    If I save it a second time, this error doesn't happen. I wasn't receiving this issue until I updated to 30.2.1, but it was rare. Now that I've updated to 30.3 it became every time I saved a new file for the first time. As much as I want the turntable feature, I'm going to have to use 30.1 again until the issue is resolved. Having this error come up so often is slowing down production.

12. Incorrect (reversed) text order when copying text from PDFs without Illustrator editing capabilities

    pre - TLDR:
    Illustrator no longer preserves the visual reading order when copying fragmented text from PDFs without editing capabilities, instead using an incorrect internal sequence.

    Incorrect text order when copying text from PDFs without Illustrator editing capabilities

    MacBookPr 2024 - macOS Tahoe 26.3
    Adobe Illustrator 2026 - 30.3

    Hello,

    I would like to report an issue in Adobe Illustrator that seems to have been introduced in recent updates.

    Initial situation:
    When opening a PDF that was not saved with Illustrator editing capabilities, it is expected that continuous text blocks are split into multiple individual segments or lines. This behavior is known and not the issue.

    Previous behavior:
    Until a few updates ago, it was possible to select such a fragmented text block, copy it, and paste it into a newly created text field. The text was inserted as a single line, but the content order was correct (top to bottom). The only required step was manually restoring line breaks or paragraphs.

    Current behavior (issue):
    Since recent updates, the order of the pasted text segments is no longer correct.
    When copying and pasting a fragmented text block, Illustrator still merges everything into a single line, but the sequence of the content is incorrect.

    Based on observation, Illustrator no longer follows the visual reading order (top to bottom). Instead, it appears to process segments in a reversed or otherwise incorrect internal order (e.g. partially bottom to top).

    Impact:
    This makes the pasted text unusable without extensive manual correction. It is no longer sufficient to reinsert line breaks. Instead, the content must be manually reordered, which is error-prone and time-consuming. In many cases, it is faster to retype the text entirely.

    Example:
    A text block selected from top to bottom (starting with
    “entalkoholisierter Chardonnay”
    and ending with
    “… Anbau”)

    is pasted beginning with a lower segment such as
    “*aus kontrolliert biologischem …”
    followed by lines that originally appeared above it.
    This indicates that the segments are no longer processed in visual reading order.

    This issue did not occur in previous Illustrator versions using the same workflow.

    best regards
    marvin

13. Bug - Graduated stroke colors automatically changed!

    A graduated stroke color was in a saved file applied to a brush stroke. I had not been in the file for several months. The preview appeared full color, but when I opened the file, it was like the opacity of the colors had been turned down, except they hadn't been! Inside the file, it appears faint. But the stroke does not indicate the opacity has been reduced. It is so confusing since the file has not been opened for over two months.

    Don't know if it is a gradient or brush stroke issue or a compatibility issue.

14. Exporting To SVG Format

    Illustrator 30.2.1 has a consistent SVG exporting bug. I created some images containing gradients. When I export to SVG the first time, AI will create a correct SVG file. However, subsequent exports, AI will leave out all gradients. If I close the file and reopen it, the cycle repeats.

16. Visual glitch in modified text when using the “Transform” tool

    When using the “Transform” effect on complex files, the visual display of the actual text does not update. The visual display is not up to date, whereas in the source code (CMD+Y) it is. To update the text visually, you must uncheck the “Transformation” option in the Appearance window, then check it again to force the visual update.

    As shown in the attached files, the black-and-white one shows the wired version (with the correct text), and the other shows the standard view (with the text that hasn't been updated)

17. Pattern Tool Severe Lagging

    I am a surface pattern designer and anytime I edit patterns I have a 1-2 minute delay for every vector I move. This cripples workflow and is an awful user experience. I am not using effects or modifications that should cause this type of delays every time vector assets are relocated (even a mm.)

    I have to create 50+ patterns daily and this issues critically hinders my daily workflow. I use illustrator 12 hours a day for my work.

    Please provide solutions to rectify this issue for users experiencing this issue.

19. Illustrator crash on relinking image

    Windows 11, all Adobe software up to date, Illustrator 30.2.1 (64-bit)

    Raster artwork in my Illustrator files is stored in a folder adjacent to my Illustrator folder. Occasionally, I must insert a file into the numbering structure, so the raster artwork becomes 'orphaned'. So, when I open the Illustrator file, I get the relink artwork dialogue box. If I hit relink, a relink box appears, followed instantly by a Gaussian blur dialogue box with a 100% blue bar, and Illustrator freezes, requiring a shutdown via Task Manager.

    If I reset my preferences (a 2-minute job using AG Astute Manager), it solves the issue for 1 or 2 files, but then it returns. The workaround is to click ignore and then relink the image manually, but it's a pain when fixing many files.

20. L'utilisation de l'outil Pipette nécessite l'utilisation du sélecteur de couleurs et la pression sur Entrée.

    Quand j'utilise la pipette pour sélectionner une couleur (peu importe en rvb ou CMJN) sur des visuels simples, (la plupart du temps) je suis obligée de passer par le sélecteur pour refaire la démarche et obligatoirement je dois appuyer sur entrée pour valider mon choix (si je fais ok ça ne marche pas non plus) (je suis sur mac 14.3.1) j'utilise illustrator 30.0.0 (et ce problème persiste depuis 2- 3versions antérieures déjà. J'avais essayé sur la suivante sans succès non plus. merci pour votre retour
