Saving a new Image Trace preset does not remember the "Auto Grouping" checkbox’s state
When doing Image Trace, I don't need Auto Grouping. I tweak all the settings, uncheck "Auto Grouping", and save a New Preset.
But after applying that saved preset to the new image, "Auto Grouping" checkbox is still checked by default - and i need to uncheck it every time manually (and that triggers "re-trace") before i click "Expand".
I need to have a preset without "Auto Grouping", but it's impossible to do, since Illustrator simply ignores that check-box when saving a preset.2 votes -
Properties panel doesn’t detect the actual font and shows Myriad Pro by default
When I select a word, the Properties panel doesn’t detect the actual font and shows Myriad Pro by default. None of the text settings respond or update. The program doesn’t freeze, but the panel acts as if no text is selected. The same thing happens in the Control panel

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 recently (April 2025)

29.4 is hanging/freezing in dialogs
I have found myself unable to work in 29.4. Program hangs/freezes all the time after entering some kind of dialog (save, settings, color mode, etc). I reset the settings to default, didn't help.
Reverted back to 29.3.1, no problems

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 group contains red objects. When I go into the layer panel and select both layer groups and hit ctrl G for group all the yellow and all the red objects become combined into a single layer group instead of the layer groups themselves becoming a sub-layer group of a sub group layer. Not only do I get this problem, but all the original layers that originally contained those separate layer groups become blank layers left on the template and that would be outright tedious to have to search through all the layers and delete the ones that are empty.

SVG保存時にスワッシュ字形等が書き出されない
macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
Illustrator ver.29.3.1再現手順
1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に「Air」と入力し欧文フォント（スワッシュ字形が有効なもの）を指定する。
2.OpenTypeパネルの「スワッシュ字形」と「タイトル用字形」をクリックする。
3.SVG形式で保存。その際、フォントをサブセットで埋め込む。
4.ブラウザ等で確認するとスワッシュ字形等がデフォルトの字形で表示される。期待する結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が正しく表示される。実際の結果
スワッシュ字形やタイトル用字形が標準字形になる。SwashやTitlingAlternatesはスタイルに対してfont-feature-settings等の設定が必要になりますが、Illustratorはそういった設定を保存しません。また、フォントサブセットを保存した場合でも標準字形のグリフが保存されます。
EN Translate:
Step to Reproduce
1. open a new document, type "Air" on the artboard, and specify a western font (with swash glyphs enabled).
2. Click "Swash" and "Titling Alternates" in the OpenType panel.
3. Save the file in SVG format. (Embed the font as a subset.)
4. When we check the file in a browser, the swash and Titling Alternates will be displayed as default glyph.Expected Results
Swash and titlling Alternates are displayed correctly.Actual result
Swash and titleling Altermates are fallback to defalt glyph.Swash and TitlingAlternates require font-feature-settings and other settings for styles, but Illustrator does not save such settings. Also, when font subsets are saved, the glyphs of the default glyphs are saved.
Please delete the ".pdf" extension from the attached pdf file and open it in Illustrator.
The SVG that Illustrator saves is shown below.

Align art to pixel grid applied by default when adding vector images to CC libraries
Steps to reproduce: Select a vector graphic in an Adobe Illustrator file and click the Add ("+") icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel. Choose "Graphic." (note: the Illustrator file containing the graphic does not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.)
Expected result: The newly created library asset should not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.
Actual result: The library asset has "Align art to pixel grid" applied.
I'm forced to uncheck "Align art to pixel grid," close, and then re-open the library asset. This removes "Align art to pixel grid" about half the time.

ウィンドウの移動の低速化
症状は、各ウィンドウの移動が全体的にもっさりしてマウスへの追従が遅れるようになりました。
イラストレーター 2024年版をiMac 2023にて最近まで問題なく使用できていましたが、
2025にアップデートしたところ挙動に不安要素があったため、アンインストールしたのちに

動作が全体的にもっさりするようになりマウスへの追従がワンテンポ遅れるように。環境設定のリセット。adobe製品の全種アンインストール。関連ファイル削除。
からの再インストール。
またOSの再インストール（macos sonoma）も行いましたが一向に改善されません。ただしパソコンをセーフモードで立ち上げ、イラストレーターを起動した際には
ウィンドウの移動がさくさくと動きます。正直セーフモードで起動した際に動くということは何かしらが悪さしているのは明白なのですが…

Finder Apps and Adobe Bridge no longer open Adobe Illustrator
Something changed with the last update that altered the default association between Illustrator files and the application. I first noticed it when my barcode app failed to launch Illustrator upon export—something that had been working perfectly for years. Then, I encountered the same issue in Adobe Bridge: every time I double-click a .ai file, it simply won’t open.
After investigating, I discovered that the default file association for .ai files had been changed to something called IllustratorDiagnosys (see screenshot). Manually changing this back to Adobe Illustrator within Bridge resolved the issue inside that app, but external applications and links are still not functioning as expected.
Additionally, resetting Bridge to its default settings restores all .ai file associations to IllustratorDiagnosys 29.3.1.
It seems that something in the file association preferences was modified, not just affecting Bridge, but the entire system.

Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly
Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly. Per the online documentation at https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/graphs.html:
“The design is scaled so that the backmost rectangle in the design is the same size as the default square marker on the line or scatter graph.”
This is how it used to work. Now it scales the markers down to fit in the default marker’s bounding box, which creates absurdly small results (screenshot attached, showing the size that should be generated per the documentation versus what actually happens). I've tried this multiple times and always get the same incorrect result.

Area type vertical alignment and auto size doesn't work
I've been using Illustrator on my Intel Mac under Sequoia and last versions lets you choose center, bottom or justify alignment but it always acts as top and the auto size option is disabled.
2 votesPlease post a screen recording of this issue. In Illustrator 2024 Auto-resize is disabled when alignment is "Center", "Bottom" or "Justify", and Auto-resize works fine when alignment is set to "Top". I see the same behavior in Illustrator 2025 as well.
