Switching modes in Repeat Options dialog does not change the selected repeat object
Imagine you experiment and convert some art into a Repeat object.
Then you open Repeat Options and see some other variants, like Radial, Grid, and Mirror... OK, you think what do these do? You toggle to them, you set values, you click OK — and nothing you get. These do nothing. You can only change those your object currently have, but not switch the type.- Why can’t I switch the type?
- Why don’t you disable these if they don’t work?

Hyphenation ignores pre-hyphenated words
Many languages have pre-hyphenated words (like 'pre-hyphenated').
When I setup Hyphenation with Before and After values, I expect Illustrator to apply these to each part of a hyphenated word, not to the whole complex word itself, like Ai does in the picture (where the arrow is pointing). Instead, it should prefer the existing hyphen to break a line at, not just one symbol away from it. This forces users to use 'no break' often (which is hard to call) and generally spend more time on editing.
Here is a text example.
Not
pre-h
yphenated
but
pre-
hyphenated...and obviously it…

Scrolling Stroke Arrow Styles Crashes Illustrator
When editing a stroke arrowhead, Illustrator freezes and crashes when I try to scroll down the list of available arrowhead options. It will happen in the properties panel and the other stroke panels. It is 100% repeatable. I can select the arrowhead styles that are at the top of the list no problem, but if I scroll it crashes.

text selection issue with threaded text frames
Trying to select text in the second column of a threaded text frame is impossible. The selection always jumps to select the text in the previous text frame. In the video example I uploaded - I'm simply trying to select just the top paragraph in the middle column - but it keeps highlighting the text in the linked text frame on the left column. I can never just select the top 3 lines in the middle column.

Windows版27.3.1で現行版MS-IME利用時にCtrl+ホイール移動でフリーズ
Windows版27.3.1+MS-IMEが現行版(旧バージョンにしていない)の場合、Ctrl+マウスホイールによる横スクロールを実行するとフリーズします
- Windowsの設定で、日本語IMEの全般設定で「以前のバージョンのMicrosoft IMEを使う」をOFFの状態(デフォルト状態)
- 27.3.1で新規ファイルを作成する
- Ctrl+マウスホイールで横スクロールを繰り返す
この操作のみでフリーズし、一切の操作がきかなくなります。
「以前のバージョンのMicrosoft IMEを使う」をONにすることで回避はできますが、従来の27.2ではこの問題は起きていませんでした。
こちらについてはIllustratorフォーラムの投稿にて発覚しました。https://adobe.ly/3JmAvWA

Illustrator does not omit spaces in values in inputs, unlike in InDesign
Just like it is demonstrated in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnv5bcuIOrt/
Unlike in InDesign, where we can accidentally make this:
'21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' and get '210 mm' as a result, in Illustrator it goes liek this instead:
'21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' → '21 mm'
It just doesn’t understand what an aiming mistake is. Makes little sense, since it can’t be anything but that, so no punishment, please.9 votes -
Arrow keys used in Color panel don’t force canvas to update in version 27.1.1 (2023)
Whenever Arrows or Shift+Arrows key are used to quickly increment the value in a field in th Color panel, without GPU (or with Overprint Preview, which is done with CPU), — the color does not get updated on canvas, while in 26.x version it works just fine.
The CPU canvas now gets updated only when Tab or Enter get pressed. Pressing an arrow key, with or without a modifier, is a finite operation, and should trigger the redraw event too!9 votes -
A size of a selection with a certain object inside is calculated wrong
Take a look at the GIF attached and the document.
When the text object is selected, Illustrator fails to calculate the size and coordinates of the selection and uses the previous values.- Open the file and display both Transform and Control panel (I don’t know if Properties panel does the same, because it’s just completely empty for me — another bug)
- Select the object with numbers — both panels display all zeroes (but Control has editable fields, while Transform have them disabled)
- Select any of two rectangles the document — panels display correct size (150×450 mm) and proper coordinates
- Select…

2. close the path using "add to shapes" in pathfinder
3 use pen tool to start a new point, the previous closed shape will reopen and join the new pointYour expected result :
using pen tool to start a new point should give a single point, not joining the previous closed shape
the closed shape should remain closed9 votes -
Artboard names change back to what it was after renaming
Working on a document with multiple artboards. After renaming several dartboards, their naming returns back to what it was before I renamed them.
I need the artboards to have specific names for exporting to SVG. So this is really frustrating.9 votes -
When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty
If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.
Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.
So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

Preferences dialog window opens small, tiny, shrunk, and I can't access any settings

Problem with Type on a Path after ver. 26.1 update
Prior to updating Adobe Illustrator to ver. 26.1, a drawing with Type on a Path appears as it should. After the update, the text is positioned in a different place along the path. This is confirmed on a second computer. The same file opened on the second computer prior to the update appears normal, and after the update, the text is shifted.

CC Library to Illustrator Swatch: Name Length Bug Creates Magenta Spot Color
When adding a Color Swatch to Illustrator from the CC Library:
If the CC Library item's name is over a certain number of characters, Illustrator cannot import the swatch correctly.
Instead, Illustrator imports the CC Library color as a Magenta Spot Color.
The only workaround currently is to shorten the CC Library item's name to match the maximum allowed characters for an Illustrator Swatch, and then import the color.
FIX: Allow more characters for Illustrator Swatch names to be compatible with with CC Library character length for items.

A lot of empty PNG when using Export for Screens function
When exporting with Export for Screens, many empty pngs are created in the file folder. The bug occurs completely randomly. The number of files also defies any explanation. There may be 10 or 1000 files at a time.
System: Windows 10, Illustrator v.26.0.3
New details: this bug occurs if you copy complex graphics to the clipboard. Video attached. I suspect the meshes are to blame.
Update: If you disable Clipboard Handling → Include SVG Code or clipboard log Windows, the problem disappears.

Images in clipping masks glitching and overlaying artwork when in GPU
This is similar to previous posts but not sure if the same.. apologies if repeating. In the latest version of illustrator, images within clipping masks are glitching out and making the file impossible to work with. These glitched versions of the masked image change constantly when zooming in or out, but do not disappear as they used to when illustrator bugged out previously. see attached screenshot. The orange metal flake texture should only exist within the frame of the bicycle. The lighter orange glitchy shapes do not exist.
