  1. Files don’t save! Saving starts and never finishes and can’t be cancelled

    The saving process starts as soon as I ask for it, but then it never finishes.
    This issue is happening since I download the latest version (29.7.1)

    The problem is not even letting me to close the program in the computer because "Illustrator is currently saving the document and will close it once the save process is complete" signal is appearing so I need to finish the task from the task administrator in the computer

  3. Export for Screens doesn't remember settings.

    Export for Screen Doesn't remember my settings.
    Every time I restart Illustrator, I have to set again my Export for Screen setting.

    I have project where I want to export few different sizes PNGs and a PDF, so it is getting a bit tedious to set those again every time I restart Illustrator. And of course it doesn't remember Export folder either.

    It really amaze me how Adobe can brake some basic functionality like this.

  5. 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…

  6. Linked images (with embedded profiles) shift color when embedded

    Embedding an Adobe RGB (or any profile that is different than the current document profile) image (jpeg, png, tiff) in an sRGB Illustrator 2025 document gives a different result than with an Illustrator 2024 document.
    When Profile warnings are checked in the Color Settings, the warning dialogs are different between 2024 and 2025
    2024 warns for a Paste Profile Mismatch and allows to “Convert.(preserve color appearance)”
    2025 warns for an Embedded Profile Mismatch and wants to “Use the embedded profile (instead of the working space)”.
    When embedding in 2024 the default is “Convert” (which tries to keep the color appearance…
