  1. Reordering artboards / double clicking an artboard zooms me into that artboard

    I experience the following disorienting app behaviour.

    How to reproduce:
    1. Zoom out with all the artboards in view.
    2. In the artboard list, find which artboard is highlighted.
    3. Click-and-drag that artboard. (Don't even really need to reorder it)

    Expected behavior:
    Nothing asides from reordering the artboards.

    Actual behavior:

    I am now zoomed into that artboard. I then have to zoom back out and continue reordering artboards at my desired birds-eye-view distance.

  2. Artwork gets shifted when an artboard is resized with width and height constrained and Scale Artwork Constrained enabled

    CC 2025 v29.0 introduces the long-awaited "Scale Artwork with Artboard" option. When we drag the transformation frame with the Artboard tool, the objects are scaled synchronously, and the position’s calculated properly.
    However, when we start to enter the width or height of the artboard, with Constrain locked, the objects get shifted relative to the artboard after being scaled.
    The problem has been confirmed on both MacOS and PC.

  3. Finder Apps and Adobe Bridge no longer open Adobe Illustrator

    Something changed with the last update that altered the default association between Illustrator files and the application. I first noticed it when my barcode app failed to launch Illustrator upon export—something that had been working perfectly for years. Then, I encountered the same issue in Adobe Bridge: every time I double-click a .ai file, it simply won’t open.

    After investigating, I discovered that the default file association for .ai files had been changed to something called IllustratorDiagnosys (see screenshot). Manually changing this back to Adobe Illustrator within Bridge resolved the issue inside that app, but external applications and links are…
