  1. Linked files are displayed broken when opened

    My linked files are not working properly about 40% of the time. When I open them, they often display outdated colors, overlapping artwork, or other incorrect content. This issue has been happening consistently for almost five months, and it's becoming extremely frustrating.

    Sometimes everything works perfectly, but on days like today, every single linked file is incorrect. My only workaround is to repeatedly restart Illustrator—sometimes 20 times a day—and I've also tried restarting my computer, but the problem keeps coming back.

    This ongoing issue is having a significant impact on my workflow, and I would really appreciate any help identifying…

  4. Envelope distort: Changing warp option keeps previous selection

    I just updated to 30.5.1 yesterday and went to make a checkerboard flag. I made the checkerboard as a compound path and chose Envelope Distort from the Object menu. The initial selection was Bulge, which distorted my flat flag into a bulging flag. I then selected flag and it added the flag mesh on top of the bulge mesh..

    I tried selecteing other warp options and each one I picked, was added to the flag. Mind you, I have NOT selected OK. I'm just flipping through the warp options.

    I then selected cancel, but all the envelope distortions were applied.…

  6. Naming a layer "Unnamed" bug

    To duplicate, simply create a layer and call it "Unnamed" (case-sensitive). On my PC, whenever I do this, the Measure tool breaks and the app starts throwing UIDu and NOKY errors. Unless the devs can patch this, remember to add "Unnamed" to your "never use this keyword" list.

  7. Illustrator asks for permission to access data from other apps

    Every time Illustrator is launched, it triggers a dialog asking for "permission to access data from other apps" that requires a click to continue working. Every time! This is nuts. Granting this permission once should be enough.

  9. Editable Type isn't scaling correctly, even at 10% scale

    I am creating a sign in 1-1 scale. When scaling down to fit on a proof page. the Type isn't scaling down correctly.
    The image shows an outline text overlayed on top of the editable text, then selecting all and scaling down to 10%.
    You can see how the live text is not the same as the outline text.
    Never had this issue until the recent update (30.6)

  10. Can’t move or transform a selected image

    When I am selecting an image, I get a bounding box but then I can't move or transform the image at all. It acts like it is locked, but it isn't locked.

  11. Hidden Characters remain visible when exporting in PNG

    Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2

    I work with Hidden Characters on, and when I export a PNG (export for Screens), they remain visible. Hidden Characters aren't supposed to remain visible after a PNG export. The only way that I could resolve the issue is to turn them off. But when I try to disable hidden characters, it looks like they are already off (even though I can still see them), and I have to turn them on, then off again, to make sure they are completely disabled.

  12. Freeform Gradient stops vanish, can’t be placed or edited

    When trying to "edit gradient" in the Freeform Gradient tool I found that the handles disappear/glitch and don't allow me to place or change any of the values. I have tried in both positions (the top toolbar and right-side menus) but both times, even upon a restart and reset of performance, that the handles are not responding at all. I also cannot add stops in the tool window, I can only change the (new) "Method" dropdown box, which, in either setting, does not fix anything.

    I am on the latest version of illustrator (30.5.1) on Desktop Mac.

  13. Blend easing not working properly on overlapping shapes

    Whenever I create a blend with overlapping shapes, the easing does not work. The slider is active, but moving it does nothing. Easing does work when I create a blend without overlapping. And while I can start the blend without overlap and then move the smaller shape over the larger shape, the easing warps the lines instead of adjusting spacing.

  14. Dragging and rearranging several objects at once in Layers is broken when a filter is applied

    As documented in other reports, this remains broken. It may work ONCE, based on no discernible pattern, but never again in dozens of tries.

    This afflicts both platforms.

  16. COMMAND F (PASTE IN PLACE) NOT WORKING!!!

    paste in place is not working all of a sudden. Command F acts like command V. It just pastes randomly. Even selecting paste in place from the menu doesn't work. This is incredibly annoying and the enemy of precision. PLEASE RESTORE!!!!

  17. Drop shadows in .ai files hide original object

    When drop shadows are applied to placed images and the file is saved, only the drop shadow shows up both in the preview on MacOS, as well as when importing to InDesign or Photoshop. RGB or CMYK (in Illustrator) doesn't matter, the placed object is always missing.

  19. Global Edit no longer works for additional groups inside other groups

    AI 30.5 Win 11

    If I have multiple instances of a group and want to change all at once, I can use Global Edit and then isolate the group to make my changes. But now once inside isolate mode, I can no longer use additional global edits to change multiple groups inside of the main group, as once inside global edit the only option in the select menu is to exit global edit.

    So for instance I have 5 of the same group A, and these are then grouped together to make Group B. I then have 5 instances of…
