A group with any Warp effect applied to it fails to render hidden objects within when these are shown back
When an image with 3 or more layers is grouped together then an arch effect is added to that group, the layer visibility toggle behaves strangely in a way where the layers disappear but do not reappear. once the layer visibility is back to on but the image cannot be seen Illustrator will allow you to click and drag the area to grab the "hidden" layer but it is now only an outline with no color fill until you move it. or refill the color. This is a feature we have used for years and never had an issue until…

Unfoldable layers
Illustrator does not display and allow to click unfold arrows next to these layers, despite the objects in them exist in the document.
The other problem is the applied-but-not-displayed gaussian blur, but that’s the different problem: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794277
The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

Send to Current Layer not working - moves entire layer instead of only selected objects
I'm trying to move some objects from one layer to another.
I'm selecting a series of objects, then clicking on the empty layer that I want to move the objects to. I'm choosing Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer. When I do this, instead of only the selected objects moving (expected behavior), all the objects on the layer are sent to the other layer.
(Normally I would simply cut the objects, then use Paste In Front on another layer to paste them in the same position. But these functions are also not working for me - the objects…

Pasting in Front objects from different groups puts copies in the topmost group
This is in latest version as of today's date. An annoying bug which was not present in older versions of illustrators and is reproducible:
Create two vector objects and group them
Duplicate this group (this is just to provide two groups, the problem exists across all groups of objects)
Use Direct Select (A) to select one object from within each of these groups
Copy (Ctrl+C)
Paste in Front or Paste Behind will paste one object in front or behind and move the other selected object to that depth
Regular paste pastes two objects as expected.2 votes -
fix 'sticky' text boxes within sublayers
Fire up Illustrator 22.0 or 22.1 and create a new document.
Select the Text tool and draw a rectangular area. Fill it with placeholder text. Select the Rectangle tool and draw a filled rectangle (non-overlapping, though it doesn't matter).
Double click some word in the text box and start typing. Then in the Layers panel, click the 'select art' square corresponding to the filled rectangle. The rectangle becomes selected and the text box is deselected and all is good and well.
Deselect everything, hilight the rectangle and textbox objects in the Layers panel, and "Collect in New Layer". This puts…

Layer Assigned Color Changing Post Update
Hello, After the update (August 12, 2025?) my Adobe Illustrator template layers change to black after saving a new project. I have built a template with many layers and assigned a color to each layer. After the update, when I open the template and save it as a new project, or simply update the template and save it, all layers that had an assigned color change to black. Is this a bug or an issue on my end?

Toggle Visibility Not Working in Layers Panel
Windows 11 desktop, 12 GB graphics card, 32 GB RAM, Intel processor with 3.60 GHz, 64 Bit x64-based processor
29.7.1 (64 bit)
I am creating a design and trying to toggle the background layers to compare. When I click on the eye icon in the Layers panel, the layers sometimes go on/off and most often do not. Essentially, toggling visibility does nothing.I have checked that my layers are visible in the hamburger menu. I have restarted Ai and restarted my computer.
My document is saved to the cloud - I did get an autosave is temporarily disabled warning and…

Ausgeblendete Objekte werden am Bildschirm angezeigt und trotz Ausblendung exportiert
Ich verwende ein 64 Bit Betriebssystem und bin mit der Adobe CC stets auf dem aktuellsten Stand. Es stehen keine nicht installierten Updates an.
Mein(e) Problem(e) trat(en) seit gestern verstärkt auf:
Meine Datei besteht aus einigen Ebenen in denen Objekte in Gruppen oder einzeln liegen. Für den Export muss ich Elemente ausblenden. Zur Sicherheit habe ich alle anderen Objekte auf der Ebene stets gesperrt. Beim ein- und ausblenden entsteht der Fehler: Trotz Sperrung und Ausblendung wird das Objekt weiterhin angezeigt. Beim Export als PNG wird es leider auch mit exportiert (allerdings nicht zuverlässig - es kam auch vor, dass es…1 vote -
Copying selection in Layers panel no longer works
Illustrator 29.5.1 on Mac Mini M4 running Sequoia 15.4.1: Dragging the colored square in the Layers panel from one layer to another with the Option key pressed no longer copies the selection to the new layer. It just moves it to the new layer.

Problem with Grouping Layers
I didn't use to have this problem and it doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when it happens it is annoying. That is, when I want to group two different sets of separately grouped objects into a grouped layer, what happens is that each of the layer groups with specific set of objects become combined into one single layer group. That is, the objects are no longer layer grouped by their original layer groups, but all the objects where combined into the same layer group. An Example would be: One layer group contains yellow objects and another layer…

Layer duplication
Hello,
I have asked why JavaScript was not showing a layer that I know exists here:
Working with Thom Parker it was determined that the failure to show a layer was due to multiple layers. In that thread, I discuss a work around that prevents Illustrator from creating multiple layers such that only single layer instances are saved and thus JavaScript shows and hides layers.
Previously, when adding a PDF as a graphic element to FrameMaker or InDesign I would get a "Layers don't match" error. This had no effect and so I never looked into it, until now…

Missing diacritical marks in layer names
CONCERNS POLISH SPEAKERS: I have found a bug in the layer panel: when naming layers, some diacritical marks are omitted (the problem does not occur in the layer palette options - there you can name layers using all the necessary diacritical marks).

problème de copier/coller d'objet sur les calques non verrouillés
pourquoi illustrator veut toujours coller les objets sur le calque vérrouillé ou invisible ? Cela n'arrivait pas avant la dernière mise à jour de Illustrator. Avant, je copiais collais sur le calque sélectionné (les autres étant verrouillés) sans souci. Maintenant cela m'affiche un pop up qui me demande si je veux déverrouiller le calque ou afficher le calque correspondant . Si je clique NON, le collage ne se fait pas, si je clique OUI, il se colle sur le calque d'en dessous qui est verrouillé, voir même invisible. Pourtant, Je suis bien positionné sur un claque déverrouillé et qui est…

Using a # in layer name and saving as SVG does not properly save layer names
In the newest Adobe Illustrator version 28.4.1 when naming a layer with the # and saving as an SVG the export file when opened does not include the # in the layer name. This has never been an issue in previous illustrator versions, and for the work I do I rely on that naming convention to work with the system we integrate SVGs with. I've had to downgrade to a previous version where this does not occur.

The layers of my project have disappeared
The fact is that I was working and when performing an action, all the layers of my workbench were deleted. Neither cntl + Z, nor file recovery, nor the files in data to recover a past version help me.
