Shift+Dragging an Object doesn’t constrain it
Dear Adobe, if I wanted to nudge an object across the screen with the arrow keys to retain it's current horizontal/vertical alignment I would be designing everything in Microsoft applications. Please, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE fix the Shift+Drag position constraint, it hasn't worked for over a year, and I'm losing my mind.

Adobe illustrator hangs up/not responding whenever the application is closed
Whenever my adobe illustrator application is closed the hangs up for 5-10 seconds and enters "not responding" in windows before closing. This happens whether or not a file is open and has been replicated across user profiles in windows. Previous tickets with support for this issue are : ADB-39790766-X5M6, ADB-40236629-R6J6, and ADB-40751699-T0T2. I have uploaded logs from the adobe log collection tool under the following name: AdobeLogs20250711062022_057-win-GS.zxp and have a local copy as well if it is needed (unable to attach here).

Einfrieren nach einigen Minuten
Illustrator 29.6.1, Windows 11:
Illustrator friert jedes Mal einige Minuten nach dem Starten für ca. 5 Minuten ein. Der Fehler tritt unabhängig davon auf, was man gerade tut, der Fehler tritt auch auf, wenn kein Dokument geöffnet ist und nur das Startfenster angezeigt wird. Nach den 5 Minuten läuft er dann ganz normal weiter.1 vote -

Unavailable fonts in Illustrator vs Acrobat Reader
When I open a document with a missing font, Illustrator keeps displaying the correct font. However, when I open the same document without any changes in Acrobat Reader, the font changes to the default font. Is this normal? Or do I have to worry about converting to curves first?

Issue when removing asset from Lib CCEnterprise Storage
Quand la bibliothèque CC est créée comme une "marque" dans le "Stockage d'Entreprise" au lieu du stockage personnel, et que l'on supprime un des éléments de cette bibliothèque, la fenetre de visualistation de la bibliothèque s'efface complètement. et impossible de reéafficher le contenu sans quitter et relancer le programme.
A priori celà ne se produit pas avec une lib CC en stockage perso.

Bug: Typing a "+" to begin a point text object and then following it with a space will break the point text object.
Typing a "+" to begin a point text object and then following it with a space will break the point text object. I have replicated on a completely separate machine with a different user. This is a bad bug for people trying to put a telephone number with a country code into a layout.
System info:
• Illustrator 29.6
• MacBook Pro M4
• 48 GB RAM
• macOS Sequoia 15.5.
Steps to repeat:
1. Create a new point text object
2. Type in "+ 123456789" (plus followed by a space followed by 123456789)
Observed behaviour:
• The cursor jumps forward, almost like a tab
• Anything you type afterwards (like 123456789) is fine, and deletable, but the "+ " is there forever, and cannot be accessed the cursor.
Expected behaviour:
• The point text would just read "+ 123456789", and I would be able to edit all of the text.Typing a "+" to begin a point text object and then following it with a space will break the point text object.

File "..." was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.
After updating Adobe Illustrator, I have encountered a serious issue when working with PDF files that contain multiple artboards. When opening such files, I receive the following error message:
File "..." was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.
If I choose to import, only one artboard remains in the opened file, and all other artboards disappear. This happens with all files saved with multiple artboards, resulting in significant data loss.
Please assist in resolving this issue, as it greatly impacts my work and causes loss of important data.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your response.

Open or place PSD file does not keep any editable layers
I am trying to open a file that I created in PSD that has three layers plus some adjustment layers. Two of these layers are text. Regardless of if I open or place them Illustrator, the file comes in as a single bitmap layer. Open does ask me if I want to keep the layers and text, but it does not work. Place doesn't ask; it just places the image.

Severe color shift in GPU Preview when placing images — macOS Sequoia + M4 chip + Illustrator 2025
I'm experiencing a serious color rendering issue in Adobe Illustrator 2025 on my new MacBook Pro (M4 chip) running macOS Sequoia 15.5.
When placing or embedding images (JPG/PNG), the GPU Preview mode displays extreme color shifts, making the artwork look completely different from the source image. However, switching to CPU Preview restores correct colors— but the performance becomes noticeably slower and almost unusable for real-time editing.
As a professional designer, I rely on GPU Preview for efficient, accurate work. This bug breaks trust in color fidelity and slows down production significantly. Please investigate and address this GPU rendering issue on Sequoia + M4 setups.
Let me know if I can share test files, screenshots, or a screen recording. Thank you.I'm experiencing a serious color rendering issue in Adobe Illustrator 2025 on my new MacBook Pro (M4 chip) running macOS Sequoia 15.5.
