2. Zoom artefact

   Illustrator 21.1.0

   When I use a very high zoom (25 500 %), paths appear distorded or even disappear.

   It happens when GPU rendering is off as well as when it's on.

4. The tooltip about the ability to smooth a part of the path get displayed many times instead of once until tried

   The tooltip about being able to use the direct selection tool to select only a few anchor points and smooth just that portion is helpful... once. Afterwards, it's just distracting. Please have it turn off either after the first time it appears, or if the user has successfully done this maneuver at least once.

5. Illustrator repeatedly gets stuck saving causing a forced restart and loss of document

   Illustrator repeatedly gets stuck saving almost every document that has any complexity. It will not finish it's save and requires a force quit/restart. It will also not autosave any document changes made before the error, so every time it happens it requires the file to be made from scratch. This has become so persistent in my files that I can no longer use illustrator.

   Operating system: Windows 11 Enterprise 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
   Version of Illustrator: 30.3

6. Inaccurate stroke scaling on new objects

   When I create a new shape, the stroke scaling is clearly not accurate. I have it set to 1 pixel, however, it appears much, much larger than a stroke set to 1 px.

7. Resizing using bounding box with Snap to Point enabled acts as if constrained to an arbitrary grid

   With Snap to Point enabled, resizing with the corner of the bounding box snaps to what seems like an arbitrary grid. Smart guides disabled. Snap to grid disabled. Snap to pixel disabled.

8. Can’t access tools using Essential Classic workspace

9. Bug de l'outil "Cote"

   Bonjour, j'aimerais vous soumettre un bug que je rencontre depuis quelque temps. Quand j'ouvre les "options de l'outil cote" et que je veux changer des parametres ( le plus souvent, cela se produit quand je veux changer la mise à l'échelle ), cela fait crashé illustrator, 9 fois sur 10, obligé de redemarrer illustrator, (de temps en temps, cela se debloque au bout de 10min).

   Merci d'avance.

10. Export von Element als .ai

    Wenn ich .ai als Format im Bedientfeld Export von Element auswähle, wird eine Datei ohne PDF-Kompatibilität erzeugt. Diese lässt sich in InDesign nicht darstellen. Man sieht nur einen Fehlertext. Wenn man die Datei öffnet und unter neuem Namen speichert, sieht man, dass "PDF-kompatible Datei erstellen" nicht angekreuzt ist. Dieses Problem tritt nur bei ai auf, egal welche Zeichnung ich auswähle. Andere Formate wie svg, pdf oder eps werden problemlos exportiert. Der Fehler tritt sowohl in der Windows als auch in der MacOS-Version auf. (deutsch, v 30.3 trat aber schon bei früheren Version auf)

11. Illustrator asked for my location... not sure this is a bug but it's concerning

    It's bad enough that Adobe has moved to a subscription model and is putting AI in everything, but now Illustrator just asked for my location. I'm trying to maximize my PC's performance by turning off all the extra bloat. Does Illustrator really need to know my location?

12. Overlapping linearly opposing gradients (solid-to-transparent, of the same color) doesn’t produce a solid color

    One oddity, which happens both in RGB and CMYK is that there is always some visibility of the background with two overlapping, linearly opposing gradients (black to white and white to black).
    RGB attached for simplicity.
    They should actually appear as uniform. Also the color at the 50% distance is not even a tint.

13. Points move just slightly when segment is modified / reshaped using Anchor Point Tool

    This is a TINY problem, but as all the problem with precision, these do accumulate, leading to other problems — especially when exported into other more precise appications.

    To even see this within Ai a plugin is used, PathScribe by Astute Graphics, that allows to display distances between selected points, when 'Show Anchor Point Coordinate Ranges' option is enabled.

    Here, in a Print-based document (doesn’t matter really) I set up two perfect squares with integer sizes, placed on a grid perfectly. When I select two point occupying the same position, the plugin panel tells me these are coincident.

    Now I pick Ahcnor Point Tool and reshape the segment that uses one of these points to become a curve.
    Ideally, the positions of the points affected should not change —only handles should be added...
    ...yet Illustrator MOVES the points slightly.
    So now, if I select both points that should be coincident, the panel would tell me there’s now a small distance between them— just about 0.00005 mm... not enough to be noticed by Ai’s own functions, well within the tolerance of Pathfinder (0.028 pt, about 0.01 mm) and even more greedy Shape Builder (which got his own bug report about it: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50269572)

    I see no reason to change the positions.
    If I use the plugin’s own PathScribe tool that does the same thing (and was able to do this LONG before Adobe finally decided to add this function to Anchor Point Tool!) — there is NO change. Points don’t move, only handles update.

    Ai is so sloppy... I remember creating floor plans in Ai in 1:1000 scale (because the canvas is super tiny, even with 'Large Canvas (riddled with bugs too)), exporting it to CAD and having gaps — half a centimeter! Sure, Ai updated and doubled the precision since then, but I’m still traumatized. I deal with coordinates every day, designing both large and tiny things, and every decimal tail where I don’t expect it is frustrating. Sure, floating points, math... but just don’t change set values when it’s possible to NOT to.

    This is a TINY problem, but as all the problem with precision, these do accumulate, leading to other problems — especially when exported into other more precise appications.

    To even see this within Ai a plugin is used, PathScribe by Astute Graphics, that allows to display distances between selected points, when 'Show Anchor Point Coordinate Ranges' option is enabled.

14. Illustrator not letting me save my files or very slow

    Illustrator keeps lagging on saving sometimes not responsive and not letting me quit illustrator.
    Did not use to happen about a month ago.

    Illustrator 30.3
    Macbook Pro M1 Max
    Sonoma 14.8.5 (23J423)

    Admittedly we run our server on Dropbox, but even still it was not a problem about 1 month ago.

    Please don’t ask me to to save files locally as that is not a viable solution.

    Saving on dropbox was working fine without issue a few months ago, now all of sudden it is lagging for 10 mins a file that used to take 1min to save sometimes not even saving at all just stuck on save without being able to close illustrator.

    We have 100’s of files on dropbox and need to share files between team members so not viable to save locally.

15. Grayscale black in RGB mode, should be the same as RGB 0,0,0, shouldn't it?

    In the current Ai (20.2.1), when in RGB mode, in a grayscale gradient, a value of 0 creates a gray which is far off RGB 0,0,0. Why?
    In the screenshot, a RGB 0,0,0 rectangle is placed over a gradient with 100% K in the middle knot.

    In RGB mode, grayscale values should resemble values from 0,0,0 to 255,255,255, and match those values in non-gradient fills.

    This happens in both Classic Gradients and Perceptual Gradients.

16. Unintended shortcuts triggered by Ctrl + Win/Apps keys on Windows

    On Illustrator for Windows, a specific key sequence triggers unintended shortcuts. This issue appears to be caused by a bit-level misidentification within Illustrator's input handling, where certain keys are processed as different characters.

    The order of key presses is critical:
    1. Hold down the Ctrl key first.
    2. While holding Ctrl, press the Left Windows Key or Apps Key.

    Actual Results:

    • Ctrl + Left Win: triggers "Send to Back" (matches Ctrl + [).
    • Ctrl + Alt + Left Win: triggers "Select Next Object Below" (matches Ctrl + Alt + [).
    • Ctrl + Apps: triggers "Bring Forward" (matches Ctrl + ]).
    • Ctrl + Alt + Apps: triggers "Select Next Object Above" (matches Ctrl + Alt + ]).
    • Ctrl + Shift + Left Win: During object selection: "Send to Backmost" (matches Ctrl + Shift + [). During text editing: "Negative Kerning" (matches Ctrl + Shift + [).

    Technical Analysis:

    The Virtual-Key Codes for these keys are:
    - Left Win (0x5B): 0101 1011 / [ Key (0xDB): 1101 1011
    - Apps Key (0x5D): 0101 1101 / ] Key (0xDD): 1101 1101

    A consistent pattern is observed where the most significant bit (0x80) is incorrectly set to "1" during Illustrator’s internal processing of these combinations.

    Note: Although unverified due to hardware limitations, it is highly probable that Ctrl + Right Win (0x5C) would similarly be misidentified as \ (0xDC).

    Environment:
    OS: Windows 11 25H2
    Application: Adobe Illustrator (Desktop) v30.3 and v29.8.6

    On Illustrator for Windows, a specific key sequence triggers unintended shortcuts. This issue appears to be caused by a bit-level misidentification within Illustrator's input handling, where certain keys are processed as different characters.

    The order of key presses is critical:

    2. While holding Ctrl, press the Left Windows Key or Apps Key.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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

20. 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.
