  2. 「間隔」を変更したパス上オブジェクトの拡大・縮小について/Scaling an Object on Path After Adjusting Spacing

    問題の説明:
    「間隔」を変更したパス上オブジェクトを拡大・縮小しても、「間隔」が保持されていて数値が変わらない。見た目のバランスを保ったまま変形できない。

    再現手順:
    1. 2つ以上のオブジェクトを配置したパス上オブジェクトを作成する
    2. ウィジェットをドラッグして「間隔」を狭くする
    3. 拡大または縮小する(バウンディングボックスのドラッグ、拡大・縮小ツールなど、方法は何でもよい)

    実際の結果: 「間隔」の値が拡大・縮小に連動しないため、変形前の見た目のバランスを保ったまま拡大・縮小できない

    期待された結果:
    変形前の見た目のバランスを保ったまま拡大・縮小できる

    回避方法:
    パス上オブジェクトを「拡張」する

    補足事項:
    ・30.8.1で確認
    ・「間隔」が最大値(パス上オブジェクト作成直後の値)の時はこの不具合は発生しない
    ・「線幅と効果を拡大・縮小」や「リアルタイムの描画と編集」のオン/オフは影響しない
    ・他のオブジェクトを一緒に選択して「拡大・縮小」を実行したときも結果は同様

    レイアウト全体をリサイズする際にこのような挙動が発生しても、見逃してしまう可能性があり、製品事故につながるリスクもあります。
    「間隔」を編集しても、バランスを保ったまま「拡大・縮小」できるようにするべきです。

    挙動について、文章だけではわかりにくいと思いますので動画を添付します。


    Problem Description:
    Scaling an Object on Path with reduced Spacing does not scale the Spacing value, resulting in a loss of its original visual balance.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create an Object on Path with two or more objects placed along the path.
    2. Drag the widget to reduce the Spacing.
    3. Scale the Object on Path up or down using any method, such as dragging the bounding box or using the Scale tool.

    Actual Result:
    The Spacing value does…

  3. Illustrator 30.8: ExtendScript debugger cannot attach — ESTK endpoint never responds

    Summary

    In Illustrator 30.8.0, the Adobe ExtendScript Debugger extension for VS Code (v2.1.0) can no longer attach to or launch scripts. Rolling back to 30.7.0 fixes it completely, with no other change to VS Code, the extension, or the launch configuration — so this is a regression introduced between 30.7 and 30.8.

    The failure is narrow and specific: in 30.8, Illustrator's ExtendScript debug (#estk) channel accepts the debugger's <connect/> handshake but never sends any response. The message is delivered successfully — the core library returns status: 0 with a valid serial number — and then nothing…

  4. Transform tools (Scale, Envelope Distort) apply & perform the last transform when using dialog with no option to undo

    Having a persistent problem, only solved by restarting Illustrator once it happens. No ideas on what triggers the problem.

    When I open the Scale tool dialog on a selected object, the previous scale values are immediately applied and executed. Canceling the dialog does not undo the transform.

    Changing the scale values in the dialog operates on the object, but at the new size.

    In other words, opening the Scale dialog immediately scales the object with the last used setting, and then applies the new scale values to the already transformed object.

    This has also happened with the Envelope Distort tool.

  6. 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. Files saved are missing images when imported into Photoshop, InDesign, other apps

    Lately I am having problems with linked files in Illustrator not showing up when I open the file in Photoshop for instance, even though everything looks fine in Illustrator in the original file. I have to go into the Links menu and relink everything one at a time and resave to make it work. I also notice that the file size is smaller when the linked files don't work.

    I tend to use linked files a lot and have for years so this isn't a case of unfamiliarity with the tool.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    This has been fixed in the latest version - 30.3.


    This fix would not correct the existing damaged files but should not happen on new files saved from newest version. Existing files can be corrected by resaving them in latest version.


    Please check at your end and let us know.

  8. Eyedropper + Shift changes text and adds stroke when applied

    When picking up a color from text with the Eyedropper while holding down the Shift key the Eyedropper will change the size, the fill and add a stroke when applied to text. When applied to an object, it will add a black stroke to the object.
    This does not happen when the Shift key is not used during sampling.

  9. Libraries Panel Freeze & Distortion Glitch

    Persistent issue occurring on operating system: macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 with model: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
    Occasionally occurring up on brand new computer macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 with model: MacBook Pro (16-in, 2025)
    Both computers are on Adobe Illustrator Version: 30.0 (issue also occurred on 29.6.1)

    Steps to Reproduce:
    - Launch Adobe Illustrator.
    - Open the Libraries panel (Window > Libraries).
    - Work in Illustrator for a period of time (issue does not occur immediately but happens consistently enough throughout day to interrupt working ability).
    - Attempt to interact with the Libraries panel.

    Expected Result: The Libraries panel should display correctly and…

  10. Font drop down list won't allow font selection.

    Mac Studio
    Sequoia 15.6.1
    Adobe Illustrator 2026 version 30

    My font drop-down list allows me to preview fonts, but not select them. If I preview and click a new font to select it, the type window closes and my select text reverts to the original font. I've tried using the text tool and the selection tool - same problem. To change a font, I must type the ENTIRE NAME in the font window and hit return. Very time consuming. :(

    This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

    However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

    • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
    • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
    • Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.
  12. Keyboard shortcuts for text formatting (kerning, tracking, leading, font size) no longer work in Illustrator 29.7.1

    This feature just stopped working. Please fix.

    These also don't work:

    Increase or decrease leading: Option + Up or Down Arrow (horizontal text) or Right or Left Arrow (vertical text)

    Increase or decrease kerning and tracking: Option + Right or Left Arrow (horizontal text) or Up or Down Arrow (vertical text)

  13. Duplicate Artboards will always fail if even one artboard exists near the right edge of the canvas

    en

    Duplicating an artboard using the Duplicate Artboards command in the Artboards panel will fail if one of the artboards in the document is near the right edge of the canvas and the new artboard is at coordinates that extend beyond the canvas.

    It is not possible to duplicate the artboard by wrapping it in the Y direction. Therefore, when such artboards are in the document, it will never succeed.

    The expected behavior is that Duplicate Artboards will also do so, since you can copy and paste artboards and New Artboard will generate them with a wrap around.

  14. Scaling down a placed image makes it unmovable

    After placing a PNG and scaling it down to fit my artwork, I was no longer able to move the PNG into place. I could only select it in the Layers panel or by clicking and dragging over it. There does seem to be a threshold before this happens — if I only scale it down a small amount, it seems to behave as normal, but if I go beyond 50%, it becomes unstable. Of course, the workaround is to scale the PNG closer to the size needed, but this behavior seems to be new. I am pretty sure I…

  16. Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled

    While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.

    Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

    Anyone else has the same issue?

    When a new tint of a global color is saved into Swatches, it gets displayed as an un-tinted one by Swatch Info, as the image shows.

  18. Bring to front/back not working with new update

    Manually right-clicking and selecting "bring to front" and "send to back" aren't working. The shortcut (ctrl + shift + [ or ] ) is also not working. This seems to have started after updating to version 29.4.

    Every tutorial I can find hasn't helped. This bug has massively increased my workload as I use this action every few seconds.

  19. Export As does not respect Large Canvas scale (Illustrator 29.2.1)

    If you are in a "large canvas" document, when using the "Export As" menu to export PNG(s), the resulting files are 1/10th the dimensions they should be. For example, if I have 100" x 100" artboards and export them at 72dpi, the resulting images should be 7200x7200 pixels, but they are only 720x720 (but still at 72dpi). This happens with "Use Artboards" checked or unchecked, and only seems to affect PNG export and not other file types.

    I'm not sure what version this first appeared in, but I know that previous versions of Illustrator behaved correctly.

  20. SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.

    I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/opening-a-svg-and-then-re-saving-it-causes-severe-distortions-in-the-resulting-file/m-p/15123107#M434142

    Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.

    This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:

    1. FIRST select "Save As..."
    2. Choose SVG as your format.
    3. Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
    4. Change the precision value from 1…
