1. No layer thumbnail for single element layers

   Issue: There's no layer thumbnail when dragging single elements to a new layer.

   This bug has been already mentioned and acknowledged, but has not been fixed, nor has had received any sort of update or follow up on its status. I believe it only affects v29.8.2 onwards.

   Here's a direct quote from the discussion describing the bug:

   "When dragging a graphic element to a new empty layer, there is no image preview in the layer square (row Size Medium Option in Layer Panel). When you add another element, a preview appears, but if you only have one element in a layer, you have to do extra steps to see the contents of the layer."

   For designers who rely on layer thumbnails for design work, the unreliable layer thumbnails makes immediate changes hard to see and track. It disrupts workflow.

2. Layer thumbnails are not displaying properly (CPU Preview)

   Issue: Layer thumbnails are cropped based on previous zoom state.

   When you open a document that's been previously saved in a zoomed-in state, all visible layers' thumbnails will only show the elements that are visible in the zoom view. That is, elements that were out of view when the document was saved, are no longer visible in their layer thumbnail after reopening the document.

   How to reproduce

   1. Make sure "GPU Performance" is turned OFF in the preferences.

   2. Create or open a document that has many elements in it.

   3. Zoom into a particular area of the document, purposely cropping other parts of the document out of view.

   4. Save the document.

   5. Close and reopen the document.

   6. Notice how the layers' thumbnails only display the elements that were in view.

   Another possibly related bug is when creating elements via scripting. Elements generated outside of the current view are immediately not visible in their layer's thumbnail.

   Some notes:

   • This only occurs when "GPU Performance" is explicitly switched OFF in the preferences (not by using CTRL+E or "View > View using CPU/GPU").

   • This only occurs for layers that are visible. Layers that had their visibility toggled off are not affected.

   • I believe the last version of Illustrator that did not have any of these problems was Illustrator 2024 (v28).

   If needed, I can provide more details and/or screen recordings of the bugs. Just let me know.

3. Adobe Fonts が Illustrator で認識されず、作業が継続不能になる重大不具合

   Adobe Fonts に存在し、Creative Cloud でアクティベート済みのフォントが、
   Illustrator 内で表示されず使用できません。

   具体的には「VDLロゴJr（通常・ブラック）」が、
   ・Adobe Fonts ではアクティブ
   ・Figma では使用可能
   にもかかわらず、Illustrator のフォント一覧に一切表示されません。

   以下の対処をすべて実施しましたが改善しませんでした：
   - Adobe Fonts の再アクティベート
   - Illustrator のフォントキャッシュ削除（AdobeFnt*.lst）
   - Windows の FontCache.dat 削除
   - Illustrator の環境設定リセット
   - ローカルフォントの衝突確認
   - Figma Font Helper の停止

   それでも Illustrator だけがフォントを認識しません。

   仕事で使用しており、毎月料金を支払っているにも関わらず、
   基本的な「フォントが使える」という機能が保証されていない状態です。

   至急、原因の特定と修正をお願いします。

4. Overset text indicators do not show when Type on Path has overflow

   Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not showing on newer illustrator versions on Text Paths (Point Text).
   The text paths have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the Text on a path (point type) has text overflow.

   As a map design company this is a big issue for us, as our files have thousands of text paths. We used to be able to identify crucial overset text information using these markers however they have vanished for the most past. Some files do occasionally show them but most do not. This is recently cause us to mistakenly print a files that have text overflowing with no indication.

   • View using GPU and CPU makes no difference.
   • It happens on old / new files when opened.
   • Applies to all fonts,
   • Some larger paths still show
   • Does not differ if I toggle View > Show/Hide Text Threads

5. Stacked dimensions lagging Illustrator

   The dimension around the red outline rectangle is the LAG source... try to move anything, it takes forever. But as soon as you delete the dimensions, the lag is gone. I'm not sure what is going on here.

   Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Expected to be fixed in Beta 30.6.0.75.

   Please try to update and check if the lagging is gone.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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)

12. 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?

13. 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.

14. 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.

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. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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. Illustrator 30.3 bug: Use Preview Bounds ignored for effects applied directly to symbol instances

    In Illustrator 30.3, I appear to have found a bug related to bounding boxes and the Use Preview Bounds preference.

    When an effect is applied directly to a symbol instance, Illustrator seems to ignore the Use Preview Bounds setting and behaves as though preview bounds are enabled for that object. This does not happen when the same effect is applied to the symbol definition itself, which has always used preview bounds, regardless of the preference setting, and it does not happen when the symbol instance is placed inside a group and the effect is applied to the group instead (good to know for a workaround).

    Observed behavior:

    1. Use Preview Bounds disabled

    2. Effect, such as a drop-shadow, applied directly to a symbol instance

    3. Bounding box still expands to include the effect’s visible extent

    To be clear, I am not referring to an effect applied to any elements of a symbol (within the symbol's definition); this has always used preview bounds with necessity, regardless of the preference setting.

    Expected behavior:

    With Use Preview Bounds disabled, the bounding box should remain based on the object/path bounds rather than the effect extent. For example, adding a drop-shadow to a instance of a symbol should have the same effect on the bounding box as adding the same drop-shadow to any other object.

    Workaround:

    Group the symbol instance and apply the effect to the group, not directly to the symbol instance. If you have already applied the effect to the symbol instance, simply move it to the group using the target control in the Layers palette.

    This seems like a regression in how Illustrator handles bounding boxes for symbol instances with live effects. If others can reproduce this, it would help confirm whether this is a broader issue in 30.3.
