   The team reports they tried to fix this (again) in the latest Beta Build 30.4.0.135. Kindly install it (or update, if you have Beta already installed) and check if the problem is indeed fixed before it gets pushed into the regular build.

2. Abnormal selection after executing an action in a script.

   According to the person in the know, this has been occurring since version 25.4; it was normal in 25.2.x.
   When an action to duplicate an object is created and executed by specifying the action in the script function doScript(), the execution completes with the duplicated object and the original object selected at the same time.

   Although it is logical to perform all processing in scripts, there are situations where it is unavoidable in the process.
   In addition, this is clearly an abnormal situation.
   We would like to see an improvement.

3. Illustrator 27.9 Adobe PDF Preset will match what it was last modified to.

   This seems new to 27.9 and removes confidence in save presets.

   Steps to replicate:
   1) Save file as Adobe PDF format
   2) Select [Smallest File Size] from presets.
   3) Check Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities (note it now says: [Smallest File Size] (Modified))
   4) Click Save PDF
   5) Save file as Adobe PDF format
   6) Select [Smallest File Size] from presets.

   Notice the Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities is now selected. Also notice the preset name hasn’t changed to say it's (Modified).

   2022 Mac Studio M1 Max, Illustrator 27.9

   Please update it (or install it from CCD, if you don’t have it) and verify if the issue is no longer happening.

4. Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted

   When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

5. Stroke Inside is unchangeable on a compound shape

   If you make a compound shape from two paths with strokes set to Inside, then this is retained for the compound shape and shown in the Appearance panel, but it's not reflected in the Stroke panel and it can't be changed there.

6. Eyedropper picks up the wrong values when sampling a filled clipping mask

   I am using Mac OS 10.15.7 and am able to consistently reproduce this bug in both AI CC 2021 but as far back as AI CS5 running in Mac OS 10.6.8

   When a fill is applied to a clipping mask, the eye dropper will pick up incorrect CMYK/RGB values. This is especially problematic when a pure black is replaced by a 4 color process build in the printing industry.

   I would expect to eye drop the exact values applied to the object I've clicked on.

   This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

   However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

   • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
   • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
   • Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.

8. SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.

   I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/opening-a-svg-and-then-re-saving-it-causes-severe-distortions-in-the-resulting-file/m-p/15123107#M434142

   Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.

   This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:

   1. FIRST select "Save As..."
   2. Choose SVG as your format.
   3. Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
   4. Change the precision value from 1 decimal place to something like 5-6.

   If you don't do this, any SVG you open and save (even if no edit was made) will likely end up malformed.

   You can replicate this by opening a SVG, nudging it maybe a pixel or two, and then saving it with ctrl+s. Re-open the file and then observe the obvious distortions and rounding errors.

   Right now, as it stands, It's so easy to corrupt any icons you might be working on if you are making changes from SVG to SVG.

   All you have to do is make a small modification, hit CTRL+S, and then ... boom! Your file is now instantly corrupted and rounding errors distort your paths.

   Here is an example.

   Original Image:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/784478i544B7B1A8591C865/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&px=999

   Re-Saved Image:

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/784479i67374AE1F641A82B/image-size/large/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&px=999

   I urgently request that Adobe does something about this, such as letting users define their default save options somewhere in the preferences so that this sticks permanently. Right now, precision is reset to 1 decimal place on every launch of the application.

   Please add an "Export Options" section to the application preferences, or a menu item that allows us to set a default SVG export profile.

   I beg that someone on the team incorporates an option to fix this!

   Thanks so much for reading.

9. Changing color via Hex doesn't count as an action, so save does not update file

   When changing the color of a selected object, if you paste a hex number in to the color palette window and hit enter the object will change to the correct color. However, the program does not register this as an action/history change. So you can’t hit save and have the color change applied to the saved the file. This also is apparent in that it doesn’t become an “Undo Color” item under the Edit menu. Besides pasting a Hex color, I get the same bug if I type a Hex color in.

   Any other form of changing the color of the object works as expected:
   clicking a swatch
   adjusting the RGB or CMYK sliders
   using the RGB spectrum/eye dropper
   using the eyedropper tool to select color from other object

   All of these items log and action as an undoable step, and therefore after the color change the file is seen as revised and therefore can be saved immediately after the Hex color adjustment.

   Currently work around is to do and additional action after changing the color. For instance: copy/paste then delete the object selected in order to go through some history steps to get back to state of file after color change and then hit save.

   To summarize steps to replicate:
   Open existing file
   Select object(s)
   Adjust color fill by pasting or typing in a Hex color code, hit enter
   Object(s) will adjust to new color
   (at this point the application does not register under the edit menu that a new change has occurred)
   Therefore, hitting keyboard shortcut to Save file has no action (Save is gray in menu)

   Thank you for taking a look at this.

10. Illustrator no longer keeping custom layer colors. Layer colors revert to black

    In recent Illustrator builds, custom layer colors applied to layers are not being saved with the document. When reopening the file, all layers that used custom colors revert to black, regardless of the original assignments. Default layer colors still persist correctly.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Create a new Illustrator document.
    Add multiple layers.
    Assign custom RGB colors to the layers (not from the default layer color list).
    Save and close the document.
    Reopen the document.

    Expected Result:
    Layers retain the custom colors assigned to them.

    Actual Result:
    All custom-colored layers revert to black, while default colors are preserved.

    Impact:
    This breaks workflows that depend on a standardized layer color scheme (e.g., manufacturing, prepress, or complex multi-step production). Users can no longer rely on Illustrator to persist custom colors across sessions.

11. Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes

    When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.

    Steps to recreate:
    turn off real-time drawing & editing
    select random fill color
    select shape tool
    draw shape

    expected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
    actual result: filled shape is seen during drawing

    I tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).

    There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline as expected.

12. Pasting an object with perceptual gradient applied expands it and converts into an image

    1. Create a rectangle and fill it with a gradient (liner/radial)
    2. In the gradient panel, change the method from Classic to Perceptual
    3. Copy the object
    4. Paste the object

    Check the Appearance panel — it’d show the object is now an image, with the original perceptual fill tucked under the pixels!
    And if the object had a stroke, it becomes a group with a stroke in it separated.

14. Severe Lag in Adobe Illustrator When Editing Text and Objects—~15s Input Delay on 2MB File

    While working in Adobe Illustrator, I encountered severe performance issues across the entire application. Even with a lightweight file (~2MB), there was an approximately 15-second delay after any action—such as typing text, pressing Enter, or modifying objects. This lag affected not just text input but also general object manipulation and UI interactions.

    The issue persisted despite the file being relatively small. I’ve previously worked on significantly larger and more complex Illustrator files without similar lag. This suggests the problem may not be file size-related, but possibly linked to a software bug or compatibility issue.

    I attempted standard troubleshooting steps, including restarting the application and computer, but the problem remained. This level of unresponsiveness made it nearly impossible to work effectively in Illustrator.

    Adobe Illustrator Version 29.8.1
    Windows 11 Enterprise Version 23H2
    RAM 32 GB
    CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H 2.50 GHz

    This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.

    However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:

    • Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
    • Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
    • Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.

16. Toggling Layer Visibility now Lags Greatly with each New Layer Added after introduction of Search to Layers

    In May 2022 (before Search Layers was added for example) you could have a file with 2600 layers and toggle the visibility on and off in less than a second. Now in June 2023 the same type of file takes 30 seconds to toggle the visibility of a single layer.

    Here's how to reproduce the BUG that has been introduced into ILLUSTRATOR now:

    I'm using a - Windows 10 Desktop
    Illustrator v 27.6.1
    ASUS Laptop with 40 GB of RAM
    1TB SSD drives and plenty of scratch disk and page file space.

    Reproduction Steps:

    1. create a new Illustrator document 1920x1080
    2. create 100 new blank layers
    3. on layer 100 just create a very simple shape like a rectangle
    4. copy all 100 layers (so now there are 200 layers)
    5. drag the new rectangle (on layer 200) over and give it a different color
    6. now copy all 200 layers (so now there are 400 layers)
    7. drag the two new rectangles (on layer 300 and layer 400) over and give them a different color
    8. now copy all 400 layers (so now there are 800 layers)
    9. drag the 4 new rectangles (on layers 500, 600, 700 and 800) over and give them a different color
    10. now copy all 800 layers (so now there are 1600 layers)
    11. drag the 8 new rectangles (on layers 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600) over and give them a different color
    12. at this point you only have 16 shapes (rectangles) each with a different color, but there should be 1600 unique layers in the document (the other layers are just empty and blank for simplicity of this example to to show that it is not the complexity of the art causing the issue)
    13. select one of the layers with the visible rectangle in it and toggle the visibility of that simple shape and note how it take many seconds for the visibility of that simple layer to change
    14. in MAY 2022 Illustrator build a document far more complex than this simple example had no problem toggling a layer like this in less than a second with over 2600 layers, but now in JUNE 2023 there is a noticeable LAG that starts happening to toggling layer visibility as early as only 400 layers in an Illustrator file

    I've attached an example file below so you can see how the final test file should look like in case of issues following the above instructions in order to see and test the bug introduced in the newer version of Illustrator.

    In May 2022 (before Search Layers was added for example) you could have a file with 2600 layers and toggle the visibility on and off in less than a second. Now in June 2023 the same type of file takes 30 seconds to toggle the visibility of a single layer.

    Fixed in Beta 27.9 5. Please check if it works for you.

    At the test setup it now takes roughly 1 second to hide and show layers.

17. Ink value changes to 0 while adjusting color

    When selecting multiple items with a different color mix, values changes to 0 when adjusting a single ink while it shouldn't change. In older versions this doesn't occur.

    In the screencap, the Cyan value changes to 0 so the colormix changes completely.

    Operation version: MacoOS Ventura 13.2.1
    Version Illustator: 27.3.1

18. Straight lines don’t allow to add points to their centers / middles

    So, I created a square, changed the line brush with something else, and then cut the 4 corners with scissor tool. Then, if I select the add anchor point tool, and click in the EXACT MIDDLE of the newly created line (which I cut from the square), it will not allow me to do so. It's just saying you only can add anchor point on the path line.

    Please help me Adobe...

    This is fixed in the latest Beta Build 29.5.0.15 — now straight lines allow to add a point at the center positions. Please check if this now behaves as expected and comment back.

    However, the team didn’t make it into the snapping feature requested in comments — to be able to snap to middles of any segment, curved or straight. If you need one, please upvote this split request.

19. Paragraph and Character Styles that have been deleted reappear when document is saved.

    After a paragraph or character style is deleted and you save the document the styles reappear.

    Expected to be fixed in Beta 30.2 — please check if it works there as expected.

20. Area type centering option not working, text jumps to top of frame

    When creating text frame with area type (it is not threaded nor multiple columns) set to center vertically, the text jumps to the top and will not center align at all. This is a function I have used in 2025 with no issues and now it will not work at all in 2026.
