DICカラーの表示がおかしい
Ver30.3で新規ファイルを作成したうえでカラーにDIC指定をすると、色がくすんで表示されます。CMYK値に変換したとき、くすんだ色のままの数値になってしまいます。
新規ではなく以前作ったファイル上でDICカラーを指定した場合はこれまで通りの表示になっています。
設定の変更で対応可能でしょうか？1 voteGot resolved with toggling the way Spot Colors are handled with a dedicated Spot Colors option in the Swatches panel’s dropdown menu

Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool
Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.
This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

Free Transform resets frame after each use
If it was the only problem... Have you ever tried to "free transform" an object like you can do it with Photoshop in a breeze ? Free Transform tool (Free Distort) resets the handles to the rectangular bounding box after each handle drag! Super convenient to adjust a deformation! But did Adobe internally have the distortion tools proposed in Illustrator tested? there are 3 or 4 but all are tedious to use and very incomplete. Please, Adobe, put all this in the trash and replace these useless things with a single tool effective and intuitive... exactly like the "free transform"…
1 voteIllustrator today properly keep the Free Transform frame deformed after each use, until you destroy the group it creates.
If you still have problems with the way it works — please comment back.

Hitting Down with an artboard selected in Artboards panel now moves it on canvas instead of in the list
In the newest update, if I have an artboard highlighted in the panel and I hit the down arrow, it used to go down the artboard list. But now it nudges the actual artboard.
I acknowledge that nudging artboards could maybe be useful for something (though I can't think of what) but being able to navigate the list with arrows is much more valuable in my opinion.2 votesTo navigate artboards in the the panel, without zooming into them, hold Opt/Alt with arrows keys (up/down work the same way as left/right).

Renaming an artboard in Artboards panel scrolls to have the item on top
The way it works in the newest update is infuriating.
In the newest update, when I change the name of an artboard in the Artboards panel, the panel automatically scrolls to have that item at the top. I keep losing my place in the Artboards panel and I can't keep track of what I'm doing. I don't see a benefit of the list jumping around all the time. It's horrific to work with.4 votesThe fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

Blue share circle is misplaced under the icon
This blue circle is very distracting and It just looks super weird. I don't know if you guys purposely did this or if it's a UI glitch with the latest update, but if you guys can get this fixed asap it would be helpful. It's SUPER distracting while trying to focus in on work.

Text copied from web paste white but swatch says its black
Since version 30.1 anytime i paste text into a file, the text will past white instead of black like it use too. All swatch areas say it is black but the text will be white. This has gotten pretty annoying because everytime i paste in text i have to change the color of it.

Compatibility Issue in Illustrator v30.2 - PostScript Error <a1a1>
Critical Update: This issue is not limited to specific files. Every single file saved or exported from version 30.2 encounters the same <a1a1> error, even when the document contains only a simple primitive shape (e.g., a single rectangle). This indicates a systemic failure in the PostScript generation engine of the v30.2 build on my system.
Description
Since updating to Adobe Illustrator v30.2, I have encountered a critical compatibility issue. Even when saving files for lower versions (Legacy formats), recipients are unable to open them. The files trigger a specific PostScript error regardless of how simple the vector data is. This…18 votesThe fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release.

Export for Screens scale dropdown doesn't work
In the Export for Screens dialogue, the dropdown does not change the scale entered in the box. For example: box says 0.25x. I choose 1x in the dropdown, 1x is checked in the dropdown, but the box still says 0.25x and the export will be 0.25x.
Typing the scale in the box works.

Select Same Fill is disabled
I recently migrated my Mac system from iMac Retina 5k to Apple M2 Ultra Mac Studio running Tahoe 26.2. Updated my full Creative Suite (Illustrator 30.1) and all was working fine will all latest updates and all until I began to work on basic vector shapes. Seems like I cannot select any fill doing Select > Same > Fill as I did for years before. Do I need to delete my preferences perhaps? I even tried very basic shapes, 3 squares, and option to Select Same Fill is greyed out...
Now I will push "post idea" button hoping that it…2 votesGot fixed with a Preferences reset. If you have a similar problem — please back up you Preferences folder before resetting, for the team to study them.

文字パネル側の「フォント名を英語で表記」設定が正常動作していない
Windows 11 25H2
Illustrator 30.1文字パネルにある「フォント名を英語で表記」にチェックを入れても、すべてが英語名で表記されず、日本語のまま残る部分があります。
この状態で環境設定を確認すると、同名の設定では設定がONになっています。環境設定で設定をONにした場合は正常に英語表記されます。
（ただし文字パネルでONにした状態で、環境設定を開き、そのままOFF・ONにした場合だと変わらず）
Windows 11 25H2
Illustrator 30.1Even when checking “Display font names in English” in the Character panel, not all names are displayed in English; some remain in Japanese.
Checking the preferences in this state shows the setting is ON for the corresponding option.If you turn the setting ON in the Preferences, it displays correctly in English.
(However, if you have it ON in the Character panel, open the Preferences, and then toggle it OFF and back ON, it remains unchanged.)2 votes修正は最新の30.3一般リリースに反映されています。アップデート後、問題が解消されているか確認し、引き続き問題が発生する場合はご報告ください。

Hitting Tab key after changing artboard name in Artboard palette
If I rename an artboard in the Artboards palette and press tab (e.g. to rename the next artboard), the new name only changes in the Artboards palette.
The artboard name visible on the canvas, and the one used when exporting files, is still the old name.
If I press the Return key after making a name change in Artboards palette it works as expected.
Would like to be able to Tab through the list and make changes.

Moving several points of an area type or type on path causes "undo"
I am no longer able to move multiple anchor points for text on a path in v30 (GPU mode).
I'm using a Studio M2 Max with MacOS 15.5..The attached video demonstrates this behavior. I have two duplicate paths. While using "View using GPU" I try to edit multiple nodes on the text path. What happens is:
- the preview of the path disappears while I'm trying to move the nodes.
- the entire line moves, even though I've only selected a few nodes.
- my type was replaced with the "Lorem Ipsum" text (this happens intermittently, not every time).
But, when I…

v30.0 (Mac) 保存時に文字の入力ソースを切り替えられない
Mac OS Tahoe (26.1)／Illustrator v30.0
ドキュメント保存時に文字の入力ソース（日本語↔ENなど）を切り替えられない。
一瞬切り替わるが戻ってしまう。2 votesThank you for reporting this issue and for the continued feedback from the community.
We have investigated this behavior and can confirm that the inability to switch input sources (e.g., Japanese IME) while a save dialog is active on macOS is due to a change in how Apple macOS handles input methods in modal contexts.
Starting with recent versions of macOS, Apple has changed the way input method switching is managed when certain system dialogs and panels are in focus. As a result, Illustrator's save dialog — which relies on native macOS sheet behavior — is affected by this platform-level constraint.
For reference, Apple's documentation on managing input sources on Mac can be found here:
https://support.apple.com/en-am/guide/mac-help/mchl84525d76/26/mac/26
As this is a macOS platform behavior change outside of Illustrator's control, the recommended solution is to switch your input source before opening the Save dialog.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Changes made by plugin tools are not rendered instantly in CPU Outline and Pixel Preview modes
Just recently something changed for plugins, and changes these make don’t get updated in modes until you force the canvas to redraw (zoom, move, draw in the region... not pan though).
Here, I try to use one of Astute Graphics’ plugins (it affects many) — I shorten the path, but Ai doesn’t re-render it!I bet it’s about performance, but come on! These tools is what keeps Ai afloat for many. Please don’t drop the support.
