2026 Illustrator UI Bugs EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Seriously, do you guys even use your own products? These issues are not buried, they are very apparent. Take a look at the attached screenshots. Gradients have been broken for a while now.
Also, this new version is full of bugs. I have to restart Illustrator immediately after opening for the bounding box to work, half the time adobe fonts are broken and wont sync.
Windows 11, i9, 4080 super, 64gb ram, 2gb download speed... I have all the things you need for a fast and efficient workflow, but Adobe's legacy code mixed with all the new bugs from the new MVP features you push out without proper testing make it impossible to take advantage of any of my hardware.
It's shocking how quickly Illustrator becomes bogged down when working in large scale or with complex layer systems. You need to get with the times and start doing multicore processing.
Is there ever going to be a plan to rebuild this dinosaur or are you planning on us still using single core processing in 2030? The dead cow has been milked dry, with other options slowly becoming available, your complacency and focus on AI will be your downfall.
DO BETTER.

Eric, the blue Share icon was reported separately here — Blue share circle is misplaced under the icon, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51000889
As for the gradient disaster... so far no reports, you are the first here (thanks). Can you share a bit more of your workspace visible? I can’t replicate this directly, so perhaps it’s limited to certain conditions.
