1. Ai won’t change the fill of an object when using Shape Builder exactly according to rules

   A minor quirk of the Shape Builder.
   Following this post by Hanako Igarashi (hamko): https://x.com/hamko1114/status/2035911311763399048?s=20

   As per the post, when Shape Builder tool is selected, the color chosen in the Color panel, Swatches, or Color Picker, won’t recolor the selected objects (that is a big difference with Live Paint tools, that would recolor the selection, unless a 'Live Paint Select' selection is made), but use the set color to force on a result of the next Shape Builder Union operation.

   This happens only when 'Pick Color From' option is set to 'Swatches' in the tool’s options (called by Enter)... and it happens to be the default behavior I get when I reset the Preferences! Plus, the 'Cursor Swatch Preview' option seems to be disabled, and it makes the use of keys in the Live Paint style unclear...

   We have two helpx articles on this, and the second helps here:
   1. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-shapes-shape-builder-tool.html
   2. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/building-new-shapes-using-shape.html#setting_the_shape_builder_tool_options

   So we can sort this out... It’s just odd the default option the default article suggest isn’t a default one used.

   However, with the 'Swatches' option enabled, if I temporarily hold Cmd/Ctrl while using Shape Builder, to pick a Selection tool, and select an object, the color in Color, Fill/Stroke, Swatches, Control, Appearance, Properties — all places that display the current color — won’t update to the actual current fill used by the object, nor allow to change the color, as if Shape Builder overruling still, despite Cmd/Ctrl is being held.
   I think this should be changed.

2. Artboard spacing value looses precision

   I use classic New Document dialog (it’s fast and reliable, unlike the modern one).
   Within it, I can set a value that later would be used to space new artboards when adding ones, or to rearrange them.
   If I only have one artboard (and I usually create one only, even when a project later gets more), I can’t set this value immediately, and the value gets transferred from the previous one I set there...

   ...not really. Here, I have to make it 2 artboards to have the field active (why? — I made another request to have it active — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/51116134 — and one more before it, to have this value editable without workarounds — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/43218936). Then, I make it 20 mm (and make it 1 artboard again)
   After I create a document, I immediately create a new one — and it gets '19.999 mm' again.

   I know some people in USA are used to have prices like $599. Screw it. I don’t need this applied to spacing. Yeah, sure it’s the math error. Make sure the value is kept as set.

3. 文字パネルのカーニング設定のドロップダウンのチェックマークが1つ前の選択オブジェクトの設定を表示する

   macOS14.7.2/iMac27inch
   ver.27以降で確認

   Step to Reproduce
   1. ドキュメント上にエリア内文字を３点用意し、それぞれの文字間のカーニングを設定を「和文等幅」「オプティカル」「メトリクス」に設定する。
   2. 選択を解除し、「和文等幅」を設定したものを選択する。
   3. 再び選択を解除し、「オプティカル」に設定したものを選択する。
   4. 文字パネル上では「オプティカル」が表示されているが、ドロップダウンをプレスすると「和文等幅」の項目にチェックマークが付いている。
   5. 選択を変更しながらドロップダウンのチェックマークを確認すると、一つ前に選択していたものにチェックマークが付いている。

   期待する結果
   文字パネルに表示された項目と同じ項目にドロップダウンのチェックマークが付く

   実際の結果
   １つ前の状態を表示する。

   これは文字パネルのみの不具合です。プロパティパネルは正常に表示されます。

   EN
   Steps to Reproduce
   1. Place three textFrames in the document, and set the kerning each textFrames to “和文等幅”, “Optical” and “Metrics” respectively.
   2. Deselect all textFrames, then select the one set to “和文等幅”.
   3. Deselect all characters again, then select the one set to “Optical”.
   4. Although “Optical” is displayed in the Character panel, when you click the drop-down menu, the “和文等幅” option is checked.
   5. When you check the checkmark in the drop-down menu while switching selections, the checkmark appears next to the option selected immediately prior.

   Expected Result
   The checkmark in the drop-down menu should correspond to the option currently displayed in the Character panel.

   Actual Result
   It displays the state from one step prior.

   This is a bug specific to the Character panel. The Properties panel displays correctly.

4. Renaming an artboard in Artboards panel scrolls to have the item on top

   The way it works in the newest update is infuriating.
   In the newest update, when I change the name of an artboard in the Artboards panel, the panel automatically scrolls to have that item at the top. I keep losing my place in the Artboards panel and I can't keep track of what I'm doing. I don't see a benefit of the list jumping around all the time. It's horrific to work with.

6. Live Paint + Eyedropper recolors entire Live Paint group (macOS)

   Product/Version: Adobe Illustrator 2026 — v30.1
   OS: macOS 26.2 (Build 25C56)

   Issue:
   When a Live Paint group is selected, using Live Paint Bucket (K) and Option/-click to temporarily switch to the Eyedropper samples a color but also recolors all faces inside the Live Paint group to that sampled color. This prevents using the Eyedropper to “pick a color to paint with” without changing existing fills.

   Expected result as in previous versions: Option-click while using Live Paint should only sample/set the active paint color, without changing existing faces in the Live Paint group.

   Actual result: All faces in the selected Live Paint group change to the sampled color.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   - Create artwork with multiple enclosed faces and group them
   - Select the group with Selection Tool (V)
   - Switch to Live Paint Bucket (K) and click a face to create a Live Paint group.
   - Hold Option/Alt (temporary Eyedropper) and click a color on another object.

   Observe: the entire Live Paint group’s faces recolor to the sampled color.

   Frequency: 100% (whenever the Live Paint group is selected)

   Workaround: Deselect all (Cmd+Shift+A) before sampling, then continue painting, or option+shift with eyedropper.

7. Illustrator insanely not optimized

9. Moving several points of an area type or type on path causes "undo"

   I am no longer able to move multiple anchor points for text on a path in v30 (GPU mode).
   I'm using a Studio M2 Max with MacOS 15.5..

   The attached video demonstrates this behavior. I have two duplicate paths. While using "View using GPU" I try to edit multiple nodes on the text path. What happens is:

   1. the preview of the path disappears while I'm trying to move the nodes.
   2. the entire line moves, even though I've only selected a few nodes.
   3. my type was replaced with the "Lorem Ipsum" text (this happens intermittently, not every time).

   But, when I switch to "View using CPU" the program functions normally.

   This is something I do very frequently, and I typically have GPU mode on, so this is a new behavior.

   I tested this on other installed versions of Illustrator:

   On v29.8.2 I am able to move multiple nodes, but the preview of the path still disappears while you're moving it. Switching to CPU mode corrects that.

   On v.28.7.2 Everything works normally, both in GPU and CPU modes.

   ---

   Edit: After posting this, I now believe that this might be related to the setting "Real-Time Drawing and Editing". Turning that off "seems" to fix things (for both v30 and v29).

   But it should be noted, in 28.7.2 I CAN keep "Real-Time Drawing and Editing" enabled AND use GPU mode and everything functions fine.

11. Changes made by plugin tools are not rendered instantly in CPU Outline and Pixel Preview modes

    Just recently something changed for plugins, and changes these make don’t get updated in modes until you force the canvas to redraw (zoom, move, draw in the region... not pan though).
    Here, I try to use one of Astute Graphics’ plugins (it affects many) — I shorten the path, but Ai doesn’t re-render it!

    I bet it’s about performance, but come on! These tools is what keeps Ai afloat for many. Please don’t drop the support.

15. Illustrator 29.8.2 saved .ai-file containing outdated pdf-version

    We have a user that several times has encountered a serious bug with saving documents. Currently on version 29.8.2 (the latest available for us in the CC desktop app as of today). Windows 11.

    Attached is an AI file showing the bug. Try opening it in e.g. Photoshop and Illustrator. You get very different versions.

    It is a "PDF compatible file" saved from Illustrator, so it contains a PDF version for other apps to use, but this embedded PDF version shows an older version of the illustrator file (so opening it in Illustrator looks fine, but when using it in e.g. InDesign, you get an old version)!

    Steps (as far as I can gather):

    1. An Illustrator file has been opened in Illustrator 29.8.2.
    2. The illustrator file has been saved (File > Save) - likely a couple of times - then closed.

    Result: AI file with outdated version in the embedded PDF. All other apps show the wrong version.

    To fix it, all we have to do is re-save the file, and then it works. So it's not consistent, and hard to reproduce.

    At least during this last occurence, the user was working from home via VPN, so the network connection was a bit slower than usual if that matters. The Illustrator preferences for saving should be the default settings (attached screenshot). I believe the setting for "slow networks" does so that Illustrator saves the file locally before transferring it, so network speed shouldn't affect the result?

    Since it has happened at least a few times, we now have to manually check every time we save a file if it is actually properly saved (by checking it in InDesign/FrameMaker/etc. to verify the latest changes are included). Not good.

16. Home and End buttons in Find and Replace misbehave

    Pressing Home and End buttons in all Find and Replace input fields should properly place the cursor at the start and the end of the text, instead of picking first and last values from the dropdown lists (like in happens in the Font Browser).
    Home and End should pick the first/last items ONLY when the dropdowns are expanded!

17. Selection reset after expand dynamic symbol

    In Illustrator, there are two types of symbols: dynamic and static. By default, when we select all symbol instances and expand them, the resulting new objects remain selected. An unexplained bug has been found with dynamic symbols:

    1. Create a dynamic symbol in a document and place its instances.
    2. Save the file.
    3. Reopen the file.
    4. Try to expand the dynamic symbol instances.

    Result: The selection is cleared from the objects, which does not happen with static symbols. If you place new instances of a dynamic symbol in the document, there is no selection loss – this only occurs with those instances that were present before the last save. This is a strange bug, and the loss of selection after expanding, in particular, makes it impossible to automate certain tasks with symbols using scripts.

    Environment: macOS, Windows 10, Adobe Illustrator various versions 2019-2025

18. "Can't define a pattern from the current art"

    Discovered in 29.8.1, also seen in beta 30.0.21. Both on MacOS 14.7.6.

    1. Draw some shapes. Select them.
    2. Object > Pattern > Make
    3. "Can't define a pattern from the current art" pops up instead of pattern edit mode.

    Dragging the shapes to the Swatch palette still works, luckily, so I can get on with what I want to do, but what the heck?

    ---

    oookayyy, further exploration reveals that it is something about one particular global color swatch?!? see attached file.

19. Severe Lag in Adobe Illustrator When Editing Text and Objects—~15s Input Delay on 2MB File

    While working in Adobe Illustrator, I encountered severe performance issues across the entire application. Even with a lightweight file (~2MB), there was an approximately 15-second delay after any action—such as typing text, pressing Enter, or modifying objects. This lag affected not just text input but also general object manipulation and UI interactions.

    The issue persisted despite the file being relatively small. I’ve previously worked on significantly larger and more complex Illustrator files without similar lag. This suggests the problem may not be file size-related, but possibly linked to a software bug or compatibility issue.

    I attempted standard troubleshooting steps, including restarting the application and computer, but the problem remained. This level of unresponsiveness made it nearly impossible to work effectively in Illustrator.

    Adobe Illustrator Version 29.8.1
    Windows 11 Enterprise Version 23H2
    RAM 32 GB
    CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H 2.50 GHz

20. フォントの表示がおかしい

    本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている（数値は0なのに）。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
    ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。
