1. macOS 27: window can't be resized from top edge/corners - drag only moves the window

   1. OS: macOS 27.2 (also on 27.0.1), MacBook Pro 16" built-in display. Same with mouse and trackpad.
   2. Illustrator 30.8.2 (2026).
   3. Steps: hover over the top edge or a top corner of the Illustrator application window until the resize cursor appears, then click and drag.
   4. Expected: the window resizes. Actual: the window is moved instead of resized. Bottom edge, bottom corners and side edges resize correctly. Resizing from all edges works fine in Apple apps (Finder, Safari) on the same Mac, and the problem persists with third-party utilities (Logi Options+, etc.) closed and window tiling disabled, so it seems specific to how Illustrator handles mouse events on its frame under macOS 27's new resize handling.

3. Color pallete stroke color

   When working in the color palette in CMYK mode, if I have the foreground color selected and drag a black swatch (0,0,0,100) onto the stroke color (which is positioned behind the fill color), the stroke color—once selected and brought to the front—ends up being defined by all four color components. This does not happen if I apply that same black color to the stroke while it is already in the foreground position.

4. Align - distribute spacing NOT WORKING with anchor points within a shape

   When I select some anchor points within a shape, I'm unable to use Distribute Spacing (it's just grayed out). This didn't used to be the case, and shouldn't be the case.

   Steps to repeat:
   1. create a shape with several anchor points
   2. select some of the points
   3. Distribute Spacing is grayed out in the align panel

   The expected result is that I can distribute spacing of anchor points within a single object. I used to do this ALL THE TIME. Please fix immediately

   I'm using windows 11, illustrator version 30.8.2

5. Stroke / Fille indicator sometimes in not in sync occasionally

   On Illustrator 30.5.1 (Windows 11), the fill/stroke indicator in the toolbox occasionally renders out of sync with the internal active-paint state. The indicator shows stroke brought to the front, but clicking a swatch edits the fill instead of the stroke. Pressing X two or three times forces the indicator to repaint, and afterwards the behavior is correct again.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Press X so that stroke becomes the active paint. The indicator shows stroke in front, as expected.
   2. Switch tools, use the Eyedropper, create a new object, or press D.
   3. Click a swatch (or pick a color in the Color panel).
   4. The fill changes, not the stroke, although the indicator still shows stroke in front.
   5. Press X repeatedly; the indicator redraws and the mismatch disappears.

   This looks like a repaint/refresh issue on the indicator rather than a logic error in the flag itself: the visual state lags behind the actual state, and a forced redraw reconciles them. Two things would help here:
   a. Repaint the fill/stroke indicator synchronously whenever the active-paint state changes, so the indicator can never display a stale state.
   b. Treat the active-paint state as a single source of truth consumed by the toolbox, Swatches, Color and Gradient panels, so that panels cannot disagree with the indicator.

7. A border around active artboard, colored as a guide

   Complaint! The new highlighted border around the active artboard is extremely distracting when trying to assess a design as a whole. This was not present until a recent update. Please add an option to disable this highlight entirely, or at minimum let us customize its color and width.

8. Swatch window is unresponsive/acting strangely?

   I'm finding since updating to Illustrator 30.8.2 (Mac OS 27.0.1) that the swatch windows are behaving strangely? For example, if I select a colour in the swatch window, two will 'highlight' or sometimes not at all, or when I select a colour as part of artwork on an artboard, the colour doesn't highlight in the swatch window?

   I'm also having trouble dragging colours to reposition them within the swatch window?

   Is this a known issue?

10. Fonts not "resolving"

    The fonts do not resolve, get picked up and installed, or re-installed on resolve missing fonts. I have to "resolve" them several times or delete and then reinstall. The whole process takes quite awhile. I wish the fonts would not go away, although "Anton" said it was still installed on my web font profile and my CC app.

11. Poor support for copies made with <use> syntax when importing SVGs

    Adobe Illustrator has a well-known, long-standing bug when importing SVG files.

    In the SVG code, to reduce file size, I originally used a syntax called <use> (array copy) to generate the 91 vents, fan screw holes, and 36 gear teeth. However, Illustrator has very poor support for this "copy syntax," causing it to "lose" all of these elements during reading, resulting in an empty panel and bare circles.

12. Freeform gradient duplicated produces per-copy divergent PDF Type 4 shading

    Adobe Illustrator Bug Report
    Freeform gradient duplicated via Step and Repeat produces per-copy divergent PDF Type 4 shading data, causing RIP-dependent color mismatch between identical 1-ups
    Product: Adobe Illustrator
    Versions affected: 30.8.2 (Windows) and 29.8.11 (macOS) — both reproduce identically
    Platforms: Windows 11 / macOS
    Component: PDF export engine (Adobe PDF library 18.00), Freeform Gradient → ShadingType 4 (free-form Gouraud triangle mesh)
    Severity: Major — produces inconsistent ink coverage between identical copies on the same artboard; breaks color-critical prepress output
    Reproducibility: 100% deterministic across both tested versions

    1. Summary When an object filled with a Freeform Gradient is duplicated with Object ▸ Transform ▸ Move (Copy) / Step and Repeat without first applying Object ▸ Expand Appearance, the resulting PDF contains one independent Type 4 shading stream per copy, and Illustrator re-derives each copy's mesh differently:

    The triangle tessellation is recomputed per copy (vertex count changes: 2481 → 2463).
    The /Decode array is expanded far beyond the object's /BBox, by an amount that is a linear function of the imposition offset — i.e. the X quantization domain is polluted by the Y-direction layout coordinate.
    This affects both the visible shading layer (DeviceCMYK) and the soft-mask shading layer (DeviceGray, inside the /SMask``/G form).
    Because PDF Reference 1.7 §4.6 states that a shading's interior colors are produced by interpolation bounded only by the smoothness tolerance, and explicitly warns that "Linear interpolation… may have observably different results when applied in a DeviceCMYK color space", each RIP interpolates a different mesh with a different quantization grid. The result: the same artwork at the same relative position renders to different ink totals on different copies, and the magnitude/direction of the deviation varies by RIP.

    Applying Expand Appearance before duplicating eliminates the problem completely — all 8 shading streams become byte-identical. This confirms the defect is in the non-expanded Freeform Gradient export path.

    Expected behavior: duplicated Freeform Gradient objects that are geometrically identical should produce identical shading data (or at minimum identical tessellation and identical /Decode domains), so that every RIP renders all copies the same way.

    Actual behavior: each copy gets its own divergent mesh and quantization domain.

    1. Steps to reproduce Create a CMYK document. Draw a rectangle (test object: 520.24 × 265.12 pt). Fill it with a Freeform Gradient (Gradient tool ▸ Freeform Gradient ▸ Points), using several CMYK color stops. Do not apply Object ▸ Expand Appearance. Select the object, use Object ▸ Transform ▸ Move…, tick Copy, and use Step and Repeat (Ctrl+D) to produce 8 copies arranged 2 columns × 4 rows on one artboard (column step 546.00 pt, row step 269.29 pt). File ▸ Save As ▸ Adobe PDF (also reproduces with PDF/X-4 preset). Inspect the resulting shading objects. Expected: 8 copies → identical mesh topology, identical vertex colors, identical /Decode domain width. Actual: 8 copies → 8 distinct shading streams, 2 distinct vertex counts, 8 distinct /Decode domains.

14. Move feature does not start at "0"

    Pressing Enter used to allow you to move an object by putting in the values. Now.....many times, it will jump to the position but act like that is the "starting" point rather than the original position. It's quite bothersome and wastes a lot of time trying to move objects by the move feature.

15. Restore Sequential Artboard Numbering for Exported Files

    Dear Adobe Illustrator Development Team,

    I would like to provide feedback regarding the recent change to artboard export naming behavior in Illustrator.

    In previous versions, exporting multiple artboards could automatically preserve the artboard order by adding sequential numbers to the exported filenames, such as:

    File-01.png
    
    File-02.png
    
    File-03.png

    This was a simple and efficient workflow because the artboard order already exists within the document.

    With the current behavior, exported files increasingly depend on individual artboard names. As a result, users may need to rename artboards simply to maintain a clear sequential file order.

    For designers working with catalogs, calendars, presentation boards, packaging variations, social media sets, or documents containing dozens of artboards, this adds an unnecessary management step and increases the chance of naming errors.

    The artboard index and the artboard name serve different purposes. A designer may need descriptive artboard names inside Illustrator while still wanting exported files to follow the document sequence.

    I strongly suggest restoring the previous behavior as an option, or adding an export naming preference such as:

    • Use artboard number
    • Use artboard name
    • Use filename + artboard number
    • Use filename + artboard name

    Ideally, users should also be able to choose the number format, for example 01, 02, 03 instead of 1, 2, 3.

    This would preserve existing professional workflows while still supporting the newer naming system.

    Please consider adding this flexibility back to Illustrator rather than requiring users to rename artboards or rely on scripts for something that was previously handled automatically.

    Thank you for considering this feedback.

18. Inconsistency With Transform Controls in Control Bar

    I am noticing inconsistent display of Transform dimensions in the Control bar, when selecting similar elements. Referencing the attached images, notice that when one of the pasted .tif images is selected, the Transform dimensions are displayed in the Control Bar, but when the other image is selected, the Transform controls are collapsed and require an extra click to view and copy/paste sizes. These images were copy and pasted from the same website and appear to be the same format. Unfortunately, this slows down my workflow as previous iterations of the software always displayed the Transform dimensions of selected elements within the Control Bar and could be quickly and easily accessed without extra clicks.

    I understand that these can be available to me with expanded Transform or Properties panels, but I prefer to keep my workspace clean and only expand panels when necessary. Having this info in the Control bar has been an essential part of my workflow for over 10 years.

19. Transform dimensions - Constraint applied even though it is disabled

    When transforming the dimensions in the 'Transform' window, the constraint option (chain icon) is applied even though it is disabled. One measurement - width or height - cannot be altered without the other following along.
    I have been able to fix this by closing the application completely, but this is happening repeatedly.
