1. 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.

2. Missing fonts with asterisk still appear in Illustrator font menu — even after cache cleanup

   Illustrator keeps showing missing fonts with an asterisk (*) in the font menu, even when those fonts are no longer installed or active.

   This happens even in new blank documents and after multiple attempts to clean caches and reset preferences.

   It makes the font list cluttered and hard to navigate, especially for users who work with many typefaces.

   Please consider adding an option to hide missing fonts from the font menu, or improve the way Illustrator handles font references and cache rebuilding.

   This issue has been affecting productivity and font management for a long time.

3. Phantom objects in Finder Preview and when imported into Photoshop

   I'm on MacOS. When previewing an .ai file in Finder, there will often times be phantom objects visible in Finder Preview. These objects are always duplicates of whatever is actually visible on the artboard-- usually it's a phantom object in the position the object was in the last time I saved the file. When I open the .ai file in Illustrator, those objects do not exist. The objects are not hidden; they are not on some other layer. This is particularly problematic because those phantom objects are still there if I open the .ai file in Photoshop. If I add the .ai file as a Smart Object layer in my Photoshop file, the phantom objects are there. If I attempt to edit that Smart Object, Illustrator opens up and shows the phantom objects are not there. Saving and closing DOES NOT FIX IT. Sometimes toggling the visibility of the Illustrator layer the objects are on and then saving fixes it. Sometimes toggling to outline mode fixes it. Sometimes moving the .ai from one folder to another, brings the phantom objects back. Why is this happening? How do I make it stop?

4. Live text converts to outlines when copying and pasting within Illustrator

   When copying artwork that contains live (editable) text and pasting it within the same document, or between Illustrator documents, the text objects intermittently convert to outlines (rendering them non-editable). This occurs with both area type and point type.

   This is happening with brand new files (not old ones). Dragging from one Illustrator document to another (correctly) brings in editable text, but I've ensured no third-party clipboard managers are enabled.

5. 画像配置の際のフォルダ When placing or relinking images, Illustrator no longer remembers the folder location

   画像配置の際、複数回使っている同じ画像でもフォルダを記憶してくれず、大変に困っております。
   以前のように、一度フォルダを指定したら同じ場所を自動的に参照してくれる仕様に戻していただきたいです。
   制作作業において非常に不便で、効率に大きく影響しています。

   When placing or relinking images, Illustrator no longer remembers the folder location — even for multiple links that use the same image.
   It would be very helpful if Illustrator could once again remember the previously used folder, as it did before.
   This current behavior is extremely inconvenient and has a serious impact on workflow efficiency.

7. Use Artboards option disabled when exporting as PDF – even in new multi-artboard documents

   Description:
   In the current Illustrator version, the ‘Use Artboards’ checkbox in File ▸ Export ▸ Export As... ▸ PDF is greyed out and cannot be selected.
   This happens even in a new document with multiple artboards (e.g. 3 pages with simple shapes).

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Create a new document with 3 artboards
   2. Add simple objects on each artboard
   3. Go to File ▸ Export ▸ Export As… ▸ Select PDF
   4. → “Use Artboards” option is greyed out

   Expected result:
   “Use Artboards” should be selectable so that Illustrator exports each artboard as a separate PDF file.

   Actual result:
   Option remains disabled; Illustrator exports a single combined PDF instead.

   Environment:
   - Illustrator version [29.8.2, e.g. 28.0.1 Windows 11]
   - Tested with and without PDF-compatible AI saving
   - No linked or embedded content involved

   Impact (Urgency):
   This issue prevents multi-page export workflows, critical in professional environments (e.g. signage, print production, packaging).
   It requires manual scripting or third-party tools to achieve basic multi-page PDF export, which significantly slows production and increases error risk.

   Please confirm if this is a known issue and if a fix is planned.

   Thank you - this is a critical production blocker for multi-artboard workflows.

8. Alt & drag to copy not working.

   I only read one post about this problem with a GIF example. I'm working on Windows desktop, every time I try to alt + drag to copy something, at first it creates a copy, but when I release the mouse or keys (tested many combinations), it ends up only moving that object to that place instead of creating a copy. It's really frustrating because it's making my job difficult.

9. Created Dimensions change their snapping positions

   I wanted to use the Dimension tool but I’m afraid it really needs some work and can only be used when your drawing is finished.
   Here is a quite of bug that happened: I was adding another space and other dimensions. Apparently it changed my previous one with a certain angle (I didn't rotate anything though).
   I did realize at that time and can't even go back to when it was good.

10. Text is not working

    My textboxes are empty including those that use to have text in it. I can create or select and edit them but when I type something in, nothing appears. If I try to select a text layer thats connected to a group, it randomly changes to selecting the parent/group.

13. GPU rendering & mouse with indents (stepping) scroll wheel = blurry graphics

    When scrolling with a scroll wheel that has indents, the GPU rendering causes blurry graphics at the beginning of the newly rendered pars that come into the workspace. See attachment.
    It takes half a second to render that portion of the screen in normal quality on a Mac Studio Max! This machine should render fast enough to see no blurry parts. (120fps games as an example!)
    I suspect Ai 29.8.2 to have a render engine problem. It’s just too slow. Other apps like Figma, Affinity Designer render the same documents 100x faster.

15. PARM Error after switching from Illustrator CC2023 to Illustrator CC2025

    ILLUSTRATOR PARM ERROR MESSAGE
    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to resolve a PARM issue that users have been facing since migrating from CC 2023 (27.9) to CC 2025 (29.8.2).
    System: macOS 15.6.1
    Apple M1 Max
    64 GB
    The error message appears on many files, significantly slowing down file editing and making Illustrator extremely slow.
    The only solution I have found is to reset the Illustrator preferences. This solution temporarily fixes the issue, but then it switches back.
    When this happens (regularly), Illustrator becomes impossible to use.
    I am looking for information on this issue. Is it a hardware issue, RAM, graphics card, or potential file corruption?
    At this stage, I have not yet collected any files from users who did not think to make a copy of the affected files. I only have screenshots.
    Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be welcome.

    Thanks for your help !

16. Images and Shadows Not Rendering Correctly

    I am having issues with build 29.8.2.
    When I link photos to my artboards and add drop shadows to shapes or objects, the display is not rendering them. It will show them, but if I move or zoom out, sometimes they go away. And if I export my artboards, these issues carry over. The images dont export, there is just a grey circle where that masked image is supposed to be. And shadows from one object to the next are different, just not even there. How can I fix this?

17. Home and End buttons in Find and Replace misbehave

    Pressing Home and End buttons in all Find and Replace input fields should properly place the cursor at the start and the end of the text, instead of picking first and last values from the dropdown lists (like in happens in the Font Browser).
    Home and End should pick the first/last items ONLY when the dropdowns are expanded!

18. A width profile that is uneditable and rendered wrong

    Take a look at these two path; Illustrator says they have the same width profile, but it’s obviously not correct.
    If saved as Graphic styles — these do match.
    Paths match.
    Directions match (and simple reversing still looks different).
    The left-hand path cannot be edited with the native Width tool.

    I can edit these with Width Selector tool by Astute Graphics, but it makes the width changed in a different spot. Saving the style, clearing the appearance, reapplying the style — heals the bug. Deleting a leftmost segment... this keep the look the same (almost), but the bug gets healed — the native tool now works. It’d be very interesting to know, how it was created — but I don’t know, actually.

20. Not Getting "Overwrite notification" when exporting using "File/Export/Export as..."

    This only started happening recently and I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Whenever I export a file using the "Export as..." feature, I'll navigate to the location where it was previously exported and click the "Export" button. I used to get an overwrite notification asking if I wished to do so and I'd just click yes or no. Now, for some reason, that notification isn't triggering and Adobe Illustrator is just overwriting. I tried using Windows Explorer to copy and paste a file to the same location, and Windows "does" give the standard notification to confirm overwrite. It's only when I'm using Illustrator (specifically "File/Export/Export as..." with "Use Artboards" checked, that it's skipping that step.

    It doesn't matter what format I'm exporting.

    I created a 100 pt x 100 pt artboard.  Export as JPG to desktop with settings outlined in the attachment.  When I try to repeat the process, I should get an overwrite notification but I do not..  No notification. The process simply overwrites without question.

    I'm on PC

    Microsoft Windows 11 Professional Version 24H2
    Illustrator version 29.8.2 (64 bit)
