Properties is Missing the Pathfinder Options
I use the Properties panel to make quick access to the Pathfinder options. I just fired up Illustrator ver 29.5.1 (64-bit) on my Surface Pro 3 (it's still chugging along!), and the there was a section missing. It usually appears right under Align, but it's not to be found. I tried increasing the size of the panel's tab, but there was nothing hidden below. I do clearly see a button to use Gen-Slop (no, thank you), but no Pathfinder.
While I can still access the Pathfinder panel itself without issue, I preferred to keep my work space as uncluttered as…
1 votePathfinder section in Properties appears only when more than one object is fully selected. If you need to see Pathfinder in all cases, including having only one point selected, like in this case, — use the dedicated Pathfinder panel instead.
Illustrator doesn’t offer a way to customize Properties or lock specific sections. If this is something you need — please upvote this request.

Offset path gets applied as a single shape
I am having an issue where when I offset a path, it adds the path as a single shape. In the past, I could ungroup the new shape and go from there. Now, I am unable to separate the new offset path from the original shape. My next step is to use the minus front feature around another shape. Please help, as I have tried everything from forums to ChatGPT and nothing is working.

Incorrect Future Dates Displayed in Links panel on Illustrator 29.5.1 with OS Sequoia 15.4.1
The Dates are NOT correct in the Links pallets. Not only does it say the same for the creation & modification dates. It is from the future 2040?

Stroke gradient sometimes defaults to within stroke instead of across stroke when using eyedropper
I have a path with a gradient across the stroke that I'm copying to other strokes using the eyedropper, and roughly 90% of the time it works fine, but sometimes it lags a little and then copies the appearance over except for the across stroke, instead setting itself to the stroke gradient default of within stroke. Obviously fixing this is only a couple button clicks, but still.

In "recolor artwork" when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose it, but will not use those colors.
In "recolor artwork", when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose that palette, but will not use those colors in the recoloring options. For instance, I can select the color palette, but when I go to randomly change the color order, it does not use those colors, it only uses the colors that are already in the artwork.
In previous versions, once I selected the "user defined" colors, that selection of swatch colors would appear in the "Swatch group" side panel. That no longer happens. And as stated before, just doesn't work in general.

Corrupt clipboard image view
Images pasted from the clipboard that are embedded in tif format become corrupted. When working with an embedded image from the clipboard, after a while, when moving an element or zooming in or out, the image becomes corrupted, rendering it unusable and unrecoverable. The images usually end up as shown in the screenshot. This has happened to me several times.

Illustrator Paths Automatically Filled Black Despite No Color Selection
In the past few days Illustrator has given me trouble: as you can see in the picture i get a black filling on any path I create even if no color is selected!
I have just uninstalled and re-downloaded the illustrator app from my creative cloud (version 29.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem.
I can't work this way.

Zooming in and out is super delayed and slow. Only works fast with control + y.
Lenovo thinkpad x1 / Illustrator v 29.5
Whenever i try to zoom in and out, it is super delayed and laggy. It doesnt happen when I do control + y though. I checked my storage space and thats fine. It is only with illustrator.

Recolor window appears out of frame when in isolation mode
When in isolation mode, the top of the Recolor window is out of frame, so I can't move it. Unfortunately, it pops up right over the artwork, so I can't use it.
I tried moving the panel when not in isolation mode, but it still pops up over the artwork and out of frame in isolation mode.

I have no idea what's going on when I try to save an image as Adobe PDF
The app does not respond whenever I try to save my work under “Adobe PDF”. This has caused me to lose some of my works. I tried reentering Illustrator multiple times and yet it still happens.

White arrow to bind end-points in a design isn't functioning correctly. It doesn't allow to correct the curvature on a trace nor bind traces
When I want to correct the curvature on a line or bind two ends of a line together, the white arrow function doesn't allow me to do so and moves the trace randomly on my design (just as if I were placing a picture on Microsoft Word: it moves everything at it's will...)

Illustrator Fails to Save as PDF or .AI After macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Update — Skips Artboards, Crashes, and GPU View Greyed Out
After updating to macOS Sequoia 15.4.1, Adobe Illustrator 29.5 (2025) is experiencing critical issues. When attempting to save as a PDF, it skips artboards, takes an unusually long time to load, and often crashes or shows an “unable to save” error. Saving a copy in .ai format also fails, regardless of location or file setup. Additionally, the “View Using GPU” option is inexplicably greyed out on some files, despite running on compatible hardware. These bugs are severely disrupting workflow and need urgent resolution.
