Naming artboards doesn't stick 50% of the time
Here we are 4.5 years since I found this reported and it's still a bug.
Here's a breakdown of my workflow:
Name my artboards in the artboard palette, and when I'm ready, I export those artboards in Export for Screens.The bug presents itself as:
a) The artboard name in the Export for Screens is not what I named my artboard in the palette. It's an artboard name from before my edit—even if that edit was entered 20-30 minutes ago.b) The name in Export for Screens is correct, but the exported asset still has the name before my edit.

I can no longer move my objects freely
I can no longer move my objects freely as before, they are forced to be moved as if there were pixels. The methods are similar to InDesign and I can't be as precise as before because I'm forced to put an object in a place I don't want. How can i deactivate that or which settings should I change? I cant find anything.

Layer duplication
Hello,
I have asked why JavaScript was not showing a layer that I know exists here:
Working with Thom Parker it was determined that the failure to show a layer was due to multiple layers. In that thread, I discuss a work around that prevents Illustrator from creating multiple layers such that only single layer instances are saved and thus JavaScript shows and hides layers.
Previously, when adding a PDF as a graphic element to FrameMaker or InDesign I would get a "Layers don't match" error. This had no effect and so I never looked into it, until now…

Align to key object doesn't work properly
Mac Studio 2022 Apple M1 Max - 64Gb memory
Mac OS Sequoia 15.1
Illustrator (Middle East) 29.2.1Alignment to key object SOMETIMES doesn't work as expected. I cannot figure out which are the specific cases.
When dealing with text boxes there is no difference between Roman Hanging punctuation ON or OFF.
I numbered the screenshots according to the issue.TWO TEXT BOXES:
I'm right aligning my text box to another text box. It right-aligns it to the right border of the selected text box with small margin (in this case 0,26mm). The right border of the text box is shifted…

Color cannot be changed in compound paths and/or is not displayed correct
In compound paths, the color cannot be changed directly via color fields or the pipette. The set color and color codes are displayed correctly under “Appearance”, however, nothing changes on the drawing area and the compound paths retain the fill color and outline color with which they were created.

Recent section in New Document dialog is empty with the newest update
Latest updates cause a problem when creating a New File. The history of past artboard sizes is being wiped out on startup leaving only preset formats to choose from. I do not use any of those, I often use a 50"x100" to design in and would just click on it when needed in the large pane. There is now not even an option to customize the new file unless you choose one of the useless presets and modify it, this slows down production and is annoying as ****. This appeared in the update yesterday and is still there today- I…

Illustrator friert bei Copy ein
ich arbeite mit einem Dell Precision 7560 PC unter WIN 11 Vers. 10.0.22632 mit Illustrator. Ich habe einen Prozessor 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185H mit 2.5 GHz mit 8 Kernen
Ich habe seit geraumer Zeit das Problem dass Illustrator extrem langsam wird. meine Dateien sind klein un bestehen nur aus wenigen Vektor-Linien. Das Problem tritt auf, wenn ich Teile anwähle und mit Command C in die Zwischenablage kopiere. Dann wird die Darstellung ****, alles friert ein, das Rädchen dreht sich und manchmal werden die Fenster und Bedienfelder Schwarz. Nach einigen Sekunden funktioniert dann wieder alles. Nachdem das ein paar mal…1 vote -

They won't let me generate an MLK Jr. illustration for my MLK day design
I run a Ryzen 5 5500U MSI laptop and my Adobe Illustrator is the latest one from 2025.
I literally tried the most well-explained prompt so it leaves no confusion at all. But still in the middle of the process it gets terminated. Please take a look at my prompt,
"Create a clean, minimalist, and bold 2D illustration of Martin Luther King Jr. that highlights his facial features and expression. Focus on capturing the essence of his kindness, wisdom, and leadership. The portrait should be simplified with smooth, stylized lines, emphasizing his eyes, smile, and iconic facial characteristics. Use subtle…

CC Libraries don't retain Lab values of swatches
If you create a color with Lab values in Illustrator or InDesign and add it to a CC Library, it will convert to CMYK in a new .indd doc and RGB in a new .ai file. We work in Lab 99.9% of the time, so this is super frustrating. We have a database of custom color mixes/names. It would save us a ton of time if we could use CC Libraries for this.
The crazy thing is... if you make a rectangle with a fill of a custom spot color with lab values and save it as a Graphic, it…
