1. Illustrator 30.3 bug: Use Preview Bounds ignored for effects applied directly to symbol instances

   In Illustrator 30.3, I appear to have found a bug related to bounding boxes and the Use Preview Bounds preference.

   When an effect is applied directly to a symbol instance, Illustrator seems to ignore the Use Preview Bounds setting and behaves as though preview bounds are enabled for that object. This does not happen when the same effect is applied to the symbol definition itself, which has always used preview bounds, regardless of the preference setting, and it does not happen when the symbol instance is placed inside a group and the effect is applied to the group instead (good to know for a workaround).

   Observed behavior:

   1. Use Preview Bounds disabled

   2. Effect, such as a drop-shadow, applied directly to a symbol instance

   3. Bounding box still expands to include the effect’s visible extent

   To be clear, I am not referring to an effect applied to any elements of a symbol (within the symbol's definition); this has always used preview bounds with necessity, regardless of the preference setting.

   Expected behavior:

   With Use Preview Bounds disabled, the bounding box should remain based on the object/path bounds rather than the effect extent. For example, adding a drop-shadow to a instance of a symbol should have the same effect on the bounding box as adding the same drop-shadow to any other object.

   Workaround:

   Group the symbol instance and apply the effect to the group, not directly to the symbol instance. If you have already applied the effect to the symbol instance, simply move it to the group using the target control in the Layers palette.

   This seems like a regression in how Illustrator handles bounding boxes for symbol instances with live effects. If others can reproduce this, it would help confirm whether this is a broader issue in 30.3.

2. Rich tool tips keep popping up

   Rich tool tips are always randomly opening and staying open something even when I am on other side of screen. Hard to take a screen shot, as when I click to screen shot the tool tips disappear. It's been happening on 2 different machines running Sonoma for about 1 year. Never used to happen.

   Done (Available in Prerelease)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Fixed in the latest Prerelease Build 30.4.0.211, now available in CCD app for all Prerelease program members.

   This means the fix is planned to be later pushed in the next general 30.4 release.

   The timer for tooltips would now check if the pointer is still within the tool button bounds after the delay finishes.

3. Canvas not visible when opening or creating files in Adobe Illustrator

   I’m experiencing an issue where the canvas (artboard/work area) does not appear when I open an existing file or create a new document in Adobe Illustrator.

   The application itself opens normally, and the UI loads (menus, toolbars, panels), but the main canvas area where the artwork should be displayed is completely missing or blank.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   - Open Adobe Illustrator
   - Create a new file OR open an existing file
   - Illustrator loads the interface normally
   - The canvas/artboard does not appear

   Expected Result:
   The canvas/artboard should be visible and ready for editing.

   Actual Result:
   The canvas area is not displayed at all, making it impossible to view or edit any artwork.

   Additional Notes:
   The issue happens consistently when opening or creating files.
   The rest of the interface appears functional.

   It looks like the workspace loads, but the drawing area is missing or not renderingWindows 11 Home Single Language
   Illustrator 30.2.1 (64-bit)

   Tried with GPU on and off.

   I'm having this problem like forever. With previous versions of Illustrator was the same.

5. Gradient Panel gets cut off when selecting a gradient object.

   There's an odd bug on Mac (M1 Pro with Latest version of Tahoe) where the Gradient Panel will expand in a way that it cuts off the position input when selecting an object with a gradient. Collapsing and opening the panel temporarily fixes it, but if you click off and click another gradient object again, it'll do it again.

   This bug was also in 30.1, and I just updated to the latest version a few minutes ago, tested it again, and the issue is still there.
   Gif was recorded using the latest version, 30.2.1.

   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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

    Several of the other menus don't scroll either. For example, the units dropdown in the create new document window.

15. 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 ?

17. 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 for anyone in working print and design or any end user viewing a shared file, is a complete and utter disaster which when combined with the recent adobe Acrobat issues with the new ui being implemented against thousands of complaints and comments on the adobe forums really is the final straw.

    The bigest issue is that it white in overprint preview is no longer white and becomes a gray which when working with other greys some of which are overprinting with overprinting whites set into the artworks due to print process requirements, shows tints close to 10% or light gray pantones as the same visually as a white as can bee seen in the attached.

    I will now potentially be advising my employer to investigate alternatives to adobe cc as it is now across the board becoming too unstable a software to reply upon. We have already moved away from acrobat company wide due to increasing costs, but these sort of issues fast become a game changer for who's software we are able to use.

    I have to assume that you are not researching any of these changes with your users as they are seemingly only consistent in their lack of research to them.
