1. Can't input negative values in fields

   When trying to input a negative value (in leading, kerning, tracking, any transform, etc) or perform subtraction in an input field, the number either switches to a positive value or doesn't make a change and plays the system error sound. This is in the latest version of Illustrator on OS X 10.14.6

3. Constraint not working properly in Properties

   I'm using adobe illustrator cc 24.1.2 on Windows 10 v 1903, The constraint function in the properties tab is not working properly for me. When i press the constraint button, the height and width proportion should stay the same when i change one number, but it changes them to be slightly off. If i make a circle 500 x 500, constrain the dimensions, and change the height to 250, it changes the width to 249.499. It doesn't matter what numbers i use, it will always change the other dimension to be slightly off what it should be.

4. Artboard Size in Properties Panel Arrow Key Enlarge/Reduce Increments Incorrect After 24.1.1 Update

   As of the latest patch (24.1.1), when using the up and down arrow keys to change the size of an artboard in the Properties panel, the increments are now full inches instead of 0.1 inch increments as they were in the previous version (24.1). Is there a way to revert this behavior back? This glitch also occurred a few years ago and was fixed in a subsequent update, so I'm hopeful it can be fixed again.

   On a related note, holding control (on Windows) and using the up and down arrow keys adjust the size by 0.6 inches which I feel is a bit unusual. Is there a reason for this or a way to change it to 0.5 inches instead when holding the control key?

5. Overprint doesn't work on text with 3D effect

   I have to use 3D effect (rotation) for some characters, but the overprint doesn't work when the effect is applied… I have to keep the text option more as possible without vecorizing…

6. Cannot press TAB to select font weight in Properties

   On the Properties panel, pressing the TAB key when you are in the fonts dropdown jumps directly to the font size, NOT the font weight as it should.

   In the Character panel the behaviour is correct.

7. Properties Panel won't stay open

   When I have the navigator and the properties panel on the right side on top of each other, the properties panel will close if I expand the navigator and vice versa. This has not been a problem in other versions.

8. Extended properties panel inconsistent with InDesign

   Not so much a bug, perhaps a feature request but yet more evidence of the various dev teams going off in their own directions - like the Photoshop's inexplicable rationale for switch the default behaviour of proportional scaling ... ahem, I digress.

   Please would you consider implementing the properties panel behaviour from InDesign? By this I am specifically referring to the extension of the properties panel behaviour when selecting the 'more options/fewer options' ellipses.

   The InDesign implementation expands the existing sub-panel to include the additional options which are not normally visible.

   The Illustrator implementation is less elegant by simply repeating the entire extended panel over the on top of the existing properties panel.

   With the InDesign approach you know exactly where the additional options will present themselves as the hidden area extends to show the tools/function you're looking for, the solution has been thought through and worked into the properties functionality.

   The Illustrator method isn't so seamless and feels a bit like a hack as in effect you're just linking to the procedure which calls the original palette.

10. Properties panel fields don’t accept numeric input until focus resets (MacBook Pro, Illustrator 2025, macOS Sequoia 15.5)

    On my MacBook Pro (2023) running macOS Sequoia 15.5 with Illustrator 2025, I’m running into a recurring focus bug in the Properties panel numeric fields (Width, Height, Stroke Weight, etc.).

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Select an object.
    2. Click once in the Width (W) or Height (H) field in the Properties panel.
    • The field highlights, but no blinking text cursor appears.
    3. Attempt to type a number.
    • Input is ignored — Illustrator interprets the keystrokes as shortcuts instead of text.
    4. Workaround:
    • Open the Transform panel (Window > Transform) and type numbers there.
    • After doing this, the Properties panel fields suddenly allow input again (cursor blinks and numbers can be typed).

    Expected result:
    Clicking into a Properties panel numeric field should always place the text cursor and accept number input.

    Actual result:
    Single-clicking sometimes only highlights the field without giving text focus, preventing numbers from being entered.

    System details:
    • MacBook Pro 2023
    • macOS Sequoia 15.5
    • Illustrator 2025 (please see About Illustrator for exact build/version)

    Impact:
    This slows down workflow significantly when adjusting object dimensions, since numeric entry is inconsistent and requires panel switching as a workaround.

11. Properties is Missing the Pathfinder Options

    I use the Properties panel to make quick access to the Pathfinder options. I just fired up Illustrator ver 29.5.1 (64-bit) on my Surface Pro 3 (it's still chugging along!), and the there was a section missing. It usually appears right under Align, but it's not to be found. I tried increasing the size of the panel's tab, but there was nothing hidden below. I do clearly see a button to use Gen-Slop (no, thank you), but no Pathfinder.

    While I can still access the Pathfinder panel itself without issue, I preferred to keep my work space as uncluttered as possible. Anyone know where the options went, or if I unchecked an option somewhere?

    Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Pathfinder section in Properties appears only when more than one object is fully selected. If you need to see Pathfinder in all cases, including having only one point selected, like in this case, — use the dedicated Pathfinder panel instead.

    Illustrator doesn’t offer a way to customize Properties or lock specific sections. If this is something you need — please upvote this request.

12. Transform inputs in Properties panel won't let me change/add values

    This is insane. The Transform inputs of the Properties Panel won't let me enter values for the X and Y coordinates OR the H and W. I am using Mac Sequoia. Is there some secret setting that I need to change to make these values accessible? I changed from Windows to Mac because (allegedly), Mac would be able to handle Adobe much better. So far, not at all true.

14. Character Information in the Properties Panel does not work

    The following bugs did I found while working with text (selected):
    - Font selection is blank
    - Font search does not give a result
    - Font style does not update
    - Colour does not update or shows a wrong colour

    This all happens even though the Character Panel works fine.

15. Color set through Appearance section Properties conflicts with the one from dedicated Appearance panel.

    Some features in Illustrator are quite strange. For example, if you set a color in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel and then add a color in the independent "Appearance" panel, the object will have color A+color B overlap, but the color set in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel cannot be reflected in the "Appearance" panel.
    The Appearance panel in the Properties is different from the individual Appearance panel, which cannot be understood.

18. Entering a new value for width or height in Properties Panel sometimes add the value to the old one instead of replacing it

    If I enter a new value for either W or H in Properties then it will take that new value and add it to the initial one.

    I did not provide any input for a additive value. It does not happen every time but here and there an instance like that will occur.

    Say the shape is 1024px by 1024px and I wanted to make it 2048px by 1024px.
    Ai will then sometimes make it 3072px by 3072px.
    Other times it will just scale the shape up to fill the entire workable space in Ai.
