Severe selection lag on direct click (Marquee selection works fine) - Illustrator 30.3 - macOS Tahoe (M4)
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a critical issue that is completely breaking my workflow in Adobe Illustrator, and I suspect it might be a specific bug in the latest version or a compatibility issue with the new hardware/OS.
The Problem:
Whenever I try to select any element by clicking directly on it, the program takes a long time to react, select the object, and display the bounding box (the resizing and rotation handles). This delay makes it impossible to work efficiently or even copy/paste quickly.The strange part is that if I select the object by dragging the cursor (marquee/area…

Navigator is not navigating
Illustrator 30.2.1. Macbook
In the Navigator panel so I can see my artboard and all the items in it. But when my view is for example in the upper right corner, and I click on the lower left corner, because I want my view to pan over there, it only brings me a little bit more to the left. It seems like a big bug and the Navigator is now sort of useless. In previous Illustrator editions it was working perfectly.

Illustrator 2026 Eyedropper Leaves Previous Fill Color Hidden in Nested Objects
In Illustrator 2026, the Eyedropper tool sometimes applies the sampled appearance to the selected group/subgroup level instead of replacing the actual appearance of the underlying object.
This creates a dangerous prepress issue: the object visually appears recolored, but the previous fill color remains inside the nested object structure. The old color does not appear as a separate duplicated object when ungrouping. It only becomes visible after entering isolation mode several levels deep. If that internal element/fill is deleted, the entire object disappears, which confirms it is not a duplicate object but the original object retaining its previous appearance.
Expected behavior:…

Cutting off bottom of page when printing
Fix the problem of cutting off the bottom of the page when I print with Illustrator. I can save the document as a PDF and print it fine with preview, but Illustrator cuts off part of the bottom of the print. It has the incorrect print border. So stupid.

No puedo abrir un archivo pesado guardado en Cloud
El archivo no se descarga para poder abrirlo de manera local. Es un archivo pesado, con imágenes. Un banner para imprimir de gran porte.
Al abrirse desde los archivos de cloud en el illustrator de escritorio, el archivo queda en formato esquema (contornear) y no permite previsualizar de ninguna manera, ni modificando el GPU ni en forma CPU.
Cree una copia sacando lienzos y archivos y tampoco logro guardar el documento de manera local. Marca error pero no explica de dónde viene ni tira ningún número.
Por favor, necesito ayuda.

Shift-clicking in Layers doesn't select range if filter is used
I have dozens if not hundreds of elements I need to select in a document. I can get them into a contiguous list in the Layers panel with a filter, but this breaks range-selection.

No layer thumbnail for single element layers
Issue: There's no layer thumbnail when dragging single elements to a new layer.
This bug has been already mentioned and acknowledged, but has not been fixed, nor has had received any sort of update or follow up on its status. I believe it only affects v29.8.2 onwards.
Here's a direct quote from the discussion describing the bug:
"When dragging a graphic element to a new empty layer, there is no image preview in the layer square (row Size Medium Option in Layer Panel). When you add another element, a preview appears, but if you only have one element in a…

Layer thumbnails are not displaying properly (CPU Preview)
Issue: Layer thumbnails are cropped based on previous zoom state.
When you open a document that's been previously saved in a zoomed-in state, all visible layers' thumbnails will only show the elements that are visible in the zoom view. That is, elements that were out of view when the document was saved, are no longer visible in their layer thumbnail after reopening the document.
How to reproduce
Make sure "GPU Performance" is turned OFF in the preferences.
Create or open a document that has many elements in it.
Zoom into a particular area of the document, purposely cropping other parts…

Adobe Fonts が Illustrator で認識されず、作業が継続不能になる重大不具合
Adobe Fonts に存在し、Creative Cloud でアクティベート済みのフォントが、
Illustrator 内で表示されず使用できません。具体的には「VDLロゴJr(通常・ブラック)」が、
・Adobe Fonts ではアクティブ
・Figma では使用可能
にもかかわらず、Illustrator のフォント一覧に一切表示されません。以下の対処をすべて実施しましたが改善しませんでした:
- Adobe Fonts の再アクティベート
- Illustrator のフォントキャッシュ削除(AdobeFnt*.lst)
- Windows の FontCache.dat 削除
- Illustrator の環境設定リセット
- ローカルフォントの衝突確認
- Figma Font Helper の停止それでも Illustrator だけがフォントを認識しません。
仕事で使用しており、毎月料金を支払っているにも関わらず、
基本的な「フォントが使える」という機能が保証されていない状態です。至急、原因の特定と修正をお願いします。

Overset text indicators do not show when Type on Path has overflow
Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not showing on newer illustrator versions on Text Paths (Point Text).
The text paths have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the Text on a path (point type) has text overflow.As a map design company this is a big issue for us, as our files have thousands of text paths. We used to be able to identify crucial overset text information using these markers however they have vanished for the most past. Some files do occasionally show them but most do not. This is recently cause us to mistakenly print…

Stacked dimensions lagging Illustrator
The dimension around the red outline rectangle is the LAG source... try to move anything, it takes forever. But as soon as you delete the dimensions, the lag is gone. I'm not sure what is going on here.

The tooltip about the ability to smooth a part of the path get displayed many times instead of once until tried
The tooltip about being able to use the direct selection tool to select only a few anchor points and smooth just that portion is helpful... once. Afterwards, it's just distracting. Please have it turn off either after the first time it appears, or if the user has successfully done this maneuver at least once.

Inaccurate stroke scaling on new objects
When I create a new shape, the stroke scaling is clearly not accurate. I have it set to 1 pixel, however, it appears much, much larger than a stroke set to 1 px.

With Snap to Point enabled, resizing with the corner of the bounding box snaps to what seems like an arbitrary grid. Smart guides disabled. Snap to grid disabled. Snap to pixel disabled.

Bug de l'outil "Cote"
Bonjour, j'aimerais vous soumettre un bug que je rencontre depuis quelque temps. Quand j'ouvre les "options de l'outil cote" et que je veux changer des parametres ( le plus souvent, cela se produit quand je veux changer la mise à l'échelle ), cela fait crashé illustrator, 9 fois sur 10, obligé de redemarrer illustrator, (de temps en temps, cela se debloque au bout de 10min).
Merci d'avance.
