Harmony Rules display all selected colors when recoloring artwork
- Mac Studio M1 Ultra 128GB, Tahoe 26.5.1
- Illustrator 30.7
I want to premise this is likely a minor bug and doesn't really affect everything, but me+ others previously reported a color guide bug on 30.6 and there is a current bug with Recolor Artwork, so I assume this inconsistency might be helpful information.
With a group of shapes selected (any amount), select Recolor Artwork with the Color Guide panel open.
Once the Recolor Artwork menu opens, the Color Guide Harmony Rules panel is updated to contain every color within the selected artwork group.
Rather than display the harmony group related…

No longer possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to the CHANGE CASE commands
Why is it no longer possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to the CHANGE CASE functions in the latest version of Illustrator? I am attaching an image of the text menu under 'Change Case' showing remnants of the old assigned shortcuts (I have been using the same shortcuts for many versions of Illustrator now, as well as in InDesign, where they are still active even in the latest version). /

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 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!
7 votesAs reported, the issue has been resolved with the Typeface 4.3.1 update. Hope the Typeface team comments on the nature of changes made.

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…

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.

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...

With 'Use Preview Bounds' enabled, resizing an object would instantly jump to geometric bounds, while the bounding box hugs preview bounds
When 'Use Preview Bounds' option is enabled, Illustrator included strokes of the selection into the bounding box.
However, if we try to resize a selection, Ai would make the object suddenly larger, as if the option to respects preview bounds is disabled — take a look at the GIF attached.If we also enable the 'Scale Strokes & Effects' (not shown), we can somewhat understand, why the team chose to do this — if the preview bounds were used to resize with both options enabled, we would get the selection move slightly to respect the scaling of the stroke... but…
