  1. Shapes move when scaling

    Window 11 Pro
    Ai verion: 30.6

    Make a square and add a stroke. Align stroke to center. Grab the top path with selection arrow and pull down. The square will decrease in size but the bottom of the square will move down a little. It should stay in place. This happens with outside aligned stroke as well, but not inside.

  3. Extremely Sluggish after Using Edit Toolbar

    Picking any tool from Edit Toolbar will bring Illustrator to a crawl. Popups become unresponsive for around 5 seconds. If I start Illustrator while holding down Shift Ctrl Alt, it works great - but only when I do so. If I don't, it's back to being slow. Running Illustrator as an Administrator also makes it run great.

  5. Area Type text disappears after editing in Illustrator 30.6 (macOS), Composer recomposition causes inconsistent rendering

    [Environment]
    •Application: Adobe Illustrator 30.6
    •Platform: macOS
    •Language: Korean UI
    •Text Type: Area Type
    •Composer: Japanese Composer
    •Language Options: East Asian Options enabled

    [Summary]
    While editing an Area Type text frame, several characters near the end of the text were modified. Immediately afterward, a portion of the text disappeared.
    The text itself still exists and is selectable, but is no longer rendered correctly.
    The issue is also reproduced in exported PDF files.
    Creating outlines renders all missing text correctly.
    Changing the Composer temporarily restores the missing text, but introduces different layout corruption (first-line indentation becomes incorrect).
    Creating a brand-new Area…

  7. Opacity Slider Not Visible If Docked to Bottom

    If you dock top panel with tools and actions to the bottom you can't see the slider for Opacity at all. Other menus like "Stroke" and "Style" are popping up just fine.

  8. The alignment tool isn't working

    STOP UPDATES NOW
    The alignment tool isn't working right now. Thanks. Why don't you find another job instead of justifying your salary by causing more damage to the software.

  9. テキストが消えます

    Illustrator2025以降のバージョンで、入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまいます。
    テキストを入力→保存→ファイルを閉じる→開き直す と入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまうことがあり、入力し直しになります。
    テキストをを平打ちした時とエリア内テキスト両方で同じ症状が起きています。
    Illustrator2024ではそのようなことはありませんでした。

  10. Linked files are displayed broken when opened

    My linked files are not working properly about 40% of the time. When I open them, they often display outdated colors, overlapping artwork, or other incorrect content. This issue has been happening consistently for almost five months, and it's becoming extremely frustrating.

    Sometimes everything works perfectly, but on days like today, every single linked file is incorrect. My only workaround is to repeatedly restart Illustrator—sometimes 20 times a day—and I've also tried restarting my computer, but the problem keeps coming back.

    This ongoing issue is having a significant impact on my workflow, and I would really appreciate any help identifying…

  14. Hidden Characters remain visible when exporting in PNG

    Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2

    I work with Hidden Characters on, and when I export a PNG (export for Screens), they remain visible. Hidden Characters aren't supposed to remain visible after a PNG export. The only way that I could resolve the issue is to turn them off. But when I try to disable hidden characters, it looks like they are already off (even though I can still see them), and I have to turn them on, then off again, to make sure they are completely disabled.

  15. Freeform Gradient stops vanish, can’t be placed or edited

    When trying to "edit gradient" in the Freeform Gradient tool I found that the handles disappear/glitch and don't allow me to place or change any of the values. I have tried in both positions (the top toolbar and right-side menus) but both times, even upon a restart and reset of performance, that the handles are not responding at all. I also cannot add stops in the tool window, I can only change the (new) "Method" dropdown box, which, in either setting, does not fix anything.

    I am on the latest version of illustrator (30.5.1) on Desktop Mac.

  16. Dragging and rearranging several objects at once in Layers is broken when a filter is applied

    As documented in other reports, this remains broken. It may work ONCE, based on no discernible pattern, but never again in dozens of tries.

    This afflicts both platforms.

  18. COMMAND F (PASTE IN PLACE) NOT WORKING!!!

    paste in place is not working all of a sudden. Command F acts like command V. It just pastes randomly. Even selecting paste in place from the menu doesn't work. This is incredibly annoying and the enemy of precision. PLEASE RESTORE!!!!

  19. Drop shadows in .ai files hide original object

    When drop shadows are applied to placed images and the file is saved, only the drop shadow shows up both in the preview on MacOS, as well as when importing to InDesign or Photoshop. RGB or CMYK (in Illustrator) doesn't matter, the placed object is always missing.
