Appearance items loose focus when get an effect assigned
When I pick a fill in Appearance panel and assign an effect to it, the item looses focus suddenly — take a look at the GIF attached.
If my stack there is complex enough (and they often are), it’s hard to locate the fill/stroke I was working with.
...and surely Ai doesn’t allow to rename these to at least find them quicker — and here is the request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34309852

29.1.0 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing on right click menu when a nested group is selected.
Illustrator version 29.1.0
Windows 10.0.19045To replicate:
- Create group that contains a group
- Select group
- Right click the group
- 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing. In its place is the new 'Ungroup all' item.

Pressing None button in tool Panel for mixed fill/stroke doesn’t work
If you have a selection with different fills and/or strokes, Ai will mark it with question marks in fill/color selector.
And if you want set it to None, you should be able to click the button below — but it doesn’t work.
But the same button in Color panel works, and the '/' hotkey works.
Please fix this.

About the Pencil Tool and Image Tracing in version 2025
The accuracy of the path conversion for the pencil tool and image tracing has decreased in version 2025. Even if I change the settings to fine, it is converted to a coarse path, and I cannot express the details like in previous versions. Please improve it as soon as possible.

[Illustrator 2025, 29.0][Win11 Pro 23H2] No Recent Local Files in the Welcome Screen
Recent local files and their previews are completely gone from the welcome screen in Illustrator 2025, 29.0.
Changing the number of visible recent files, restarting the computer, disabling/enabling GPU acceleration and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help.
9 votesAs stated in an update at forums, there is a solution.
A backend fix has been applied. Please restart Illustrator to see if the issue is resolved.
If it persists, follow these steps:
1. Close all Adobe apps, including the Creative Cloud desktop app.
2. Navigate to the following folder location:
Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/CCX Welcome folder
Windows: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome\
3. Locate the folder named CCX Welcome and rename it to CCX Welcome.old.
4. Relaunch the Creative Cloud desktop app, then reopen Illustrator.
Leave a comment if this resolves the issue or not.

Greek text now keep accents with All Caps and is not consistent with UPPERCASE result
This has to do with the new update where all files previously created using Greek language using CAPS now all have accents. Now every time we need to change the language to Greek for accents to disappear. I'm sure this will be an issue for greeks around the world.

下揃えに設定したエリア内テキストを途中で改行すると上にスペースが十分あるにも関わらずオーバーフローする
macOS13.6.7／Windows10・11
Illustrator 28.5再現手順
1.エリア内テキストを作成し下揃えに設定した上でテキストを入力する。
2.任意の部分で改行を入力する。
3.テキストは上に送られずにオーバーフローする。期待する結果
上に十分な余白がある場合はテキストを上に送りオーバーフローさせない。実際の結果
エリア内テキストに余白がある場合でもテキストの位置がそのまま保持されてオーバーフローを生じる。現状の対処方法
当該エリア内テキストに対してストーリーの再計算が生じる処理（移動やカーニング・トラッキング調整等）を行うと正常な体裁に戻る。下揃えにした場合、途中の改行でもストーリー全体の再計算が必要になるのですが、上揃えと同様に改行以降の部分的な再計算だけが行われているように思います。
また、これに気付かずにドキュメントを保存すると、次にドキュメントを開いて当該エリア内テキストを編集しようとした時に体裁が変化するために
「このテキストは、別バージョンのIllustratorで作成されました。……」
のアラートが表示されます。

Illustrator pulls clippings masks to the top of their clip groups when a document is reopened
- Make a simple clipping group
- Select clipping path only
- Fill it
- Send it to back
- Save and close the file
- Open the file back Illustrator will move the clipping mask back to the top of the group.
Why this is important?
1. Because if we release a clipping group that has the filled clipping path below clipped object, it stays below.
2. Because when we use isolation mode, Illustrator will allow to select children only when the filled clipping mask is below the clipped objects.Take a look at the GIF attached, that shows three methods possible with colored clippings…

ビットマップ系の効果を適用したオブジェクトをコピーする際に低解像度で処理される
macOS13.6.3/iMac27inch/intel/AMD Radeon5300 4GB
Illustrator ver.26.5〜再現手順
1.環境設定で「リアルタイムの描画と編集」をオンにする。
2.任意のオブジェクトを作成し、「効果→スタイライズ→ぼかし」を適用する。
3.グループ選択ツールで選択しドラッグを開始。ドラッグ中はリアルタイム描画の低解像度表示となる。
4.ドラッグ中にoptionキーをプレス。そのまま任意の位置までいどうする。
5.ドラッグを終了すると当該オブジェクトがコピーされる。通常の移動ではドラッグ終了時に適切な解像度でのレンダリングが行われるが、途中からoptionキーをプレスした場合適切なレンダリング結果とならずリアルタイム描画の状態のままとなる。期待する結果
通常の移動時と同様適切な解像度での結果表示となる。実際の結果
移動中の低解像度の表示のままの結果が得られる。回避方法。
「リアルタイムの描画と編集」を外してリアルタイムの描画をさせないか、ドラッグ開始前にoptionキーを押しておく。この挙動は最終的に行われる実際の解像度でのレンダリングが行われない事による不具合かと考えられます。この影響は
スタイライズに含まれる「ぼかし」「ドロップシャドウ」「光彩」や３Dとマテリアル等のビットマップレンダリングが伴う処理で出ます。今回はoptionショートカット利用のコピーという条件ですが、他にも発生条件が存在するようにも思います。
何にしろ、低品質でデータが保持されると印刷事故に直結します。早急にご対応頂きたいものです。9 votes -

Dimension tool prefers to snap to or edit an existing dimension instead of starting or completing a new one
Take a look at the GIF.
I need to measure the width of one square, and then measure the overall width of both squares.I create the first dimension with no problem.
However, when I try to create the second one, Ai plays dumb.When I click the leftmost point, the tool thinks that I am to EDIT the existing dimension (although I am clicking and not click-and-dragging, and I am clicking an endpoint of it, and not in the middle!)
Well... I can lock the first dimension (which would require me to abort, select the first one, lock, and…

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).

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

Bullets are forced when pasting a text
Please take a look at the GIF.
I paste a text (using Paste without formatting) into a mixed selection, made with Select All command. The text has both bulleted and non-bulleted paragraphs.
I expect it to NOT have bullets enabled, since the first paragraph in the selection does not have it.
Instead, Illustrator forces bullets for the whole pasted text.9 votes -
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?

Can you verify this works as expected in later Illustrator builds? It seems like the problem was fixed.

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.
