Command + Spacebar to Zoom stopped working when Perspective Grid is active
Like the title says — make the Command and Space (zoom) work again while the Perspective Grid is active.
2 votesThis 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.

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…

File New dialog is invisible with two monitors
When i click the "New" button in the homepage, the window that has all the settings to create a new document is invisible, it doesn't appear, but the arrow of my mouse shows me that it can interact with the window, but it doesn't show. I use another monitor and i have found online that illustrator tends to have bugs while having a second monitor.

Swatch panel and gradient panel won't open at the same time. Can't change color of gradients.
Just upgraded to Illustrator 30.0 and now the swatch panel and gradient panel won't open at the same time. Can't change color of gradients. I've tried resizing, stretching... everything. This wasn't a problem until the upgrade to 30.0.

Once you start typing a font name in the Font Browser the scroll wheel stops working
Once you start typing a font name in the Font Browser the scroll wheel stops working.
Several of the other menus don't scroll either. For example, the units dropdown in the create new document window.Arrow keys still work.

Values in W / H fields in Transform dropdown from Control don’t get updated while editing another field with Constrain Proportions enabled
When editing an object, click in the Height or Width input box and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to decrease the value. When changing one value (e.g. height), the other value is not updated. You must exit the window and return to it to see the value.

Variables Panel columns don't resize
Variables Panel interface columns don't move in case variables names are long. This is a problem that is still not fixed. I know that it worked in old version of illustrator CS2 and CS3 you can modify the columns in de the panel interface so you can read all variables names better. Today we need to restrict the text length of the variables names so we can read in de panel interface. This is not an ideal alternative. Can you please fix this so that the panel works again like Illustrator CS3 ?

White looks gray in Overprint Preview
The recent update to 29.8.1 now shows whites as grays in overprint preview. This changed feature now added leaving users unable to turn it off creates a massive problem when building anything containing white elements that are mixed or overprinting with or near grey elements. It is also a huge issue when sharing PDFs created in the new 29.8.1 with users who may not have the wherewithal to open their settings and start changing overprint settings.
Having been an artworker using Illustrator for over 20 years now, in which time I have seen some real clangers get through, but this…

Disabling "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" corrupts custom workspace
When "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" in General Preferences is disabled, the next time Illustrator is run, my custom workspace is corrupted, for lack of a better word. The toolbar and all panels are missing, and the Control Panel has become floating.

Gray popup about Unpropping appears again and again
A grey popup appears constantly whenever I am ungrouping things to tell me about ungrouping.
Nothing in Preferences makes this go away and I see it repeatedly so closing it once doesn't work either. I really don't need training wheels and this should be one simple option to disable all large tooltips, blue popups and gray popups. There are already enough idiosyncrasies and distractions with Illustrator.2 votesThe fix is expected to land in the next Beta build. These messages should and hopefully will be displayed once only.

ウィンドウの移動の低速化
症状は、各ウィンドウの移動が全体的にもっさりしてマウスへの追従が遅れるようになりました。
イラストレーター 2024年版をiMac 2023にて最近まで問題なく使用できていましたが、
2025にアップデートしたところ挙動に不安要素があったため、アンインストールしたのちに
2024をインストールしなおしました。その際、各種パネル（書式、属性、リンクなど）をフローティングウィンドウにて移動した際に
動作が全体的にもっさりするようになりマウスへの追従がワンテンポ遅れるように。環境設定のリセット。adobe製品の全種アンインストール。関連ファイル削除。
からの再インストール。
またOSの再インストール（macos sonoma）も行いましたが一向に改善されません。ただしパソコンをセーフモードで立ち上げ、イラストレーターを起動した際には
ウィンドウの移動がさくさくと動きます。正直セーフモードで起動した際に動くということは何かしらが悪さしているのは明白なのですが…
まったく理由がわからず…。地味にストレスです。同様の方いませんか。

Right-click menu appears in wrong location
Right-click menu appears far below the cursor. If clicked low enough on my secondary monitor, the menu appears on my MacBook Pro's internal monitor (arranged below my external display). Photos showing this behavior attached. Has been happening for quite a while now and driving me crazy, figured it would've been been fixed by now.

+ (plus) as keyboard shortcut not working for adding anchor point tool
The keyboard shortcut for adding anchor point tool is by default + (plus).
About 1 month ago it stopped working.
I have not changed the shortcut settings. Changing the add anchor point tool shortcut to some other key works fine, it's just + (plus) that is not working. I have also tried to make + (plus) as shortcut key for other tools, but that's not working either.
So the problem seem to be the + (plus) key itself?
Only problem is, it works just fine in text, as you can see here. It works just as well in Ai when…2 votes
