  2. 画像トレースのパスが粗すぎる

    手書きの線画を画像トレースで取り込む時、パスが粗すぎて手書きのニュアンスが消えてしまいます。
    以前のバージョンまでは、細かくトレースされていました。
    イラスト制作が主な仕事なのですが、仕事に使用する上で致命的な欠点です。
    仕方がないので、まだ以前のバージョンを使用しています。
    早急に改善をお願いいたします。

  3. v29.2.1 image export (JPG & PNG) anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" not working

    v29.0.1
    Export image (JPG/PNG) w/ anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" on, images are perfect!

    After updating to v29.2.1
    Anti-aliasing "Art Optimized" on -> not working

    macOS v15.2 (Mac mini M2 Pro)
    Illustrator v29.2.1

    Morning v29.0.1, then update to v29.2.1 this afternoon. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware problem. so i downgrade to v29.0.1. image export works perfect again.

  6. 2025 (29.0.1) is giving tons of errors on preview.

    I have a file with some simple multi-gradient appearance stacks that constantly throws two errors every time I load it, and every time I switch outline mode on and off. Also the document is marked as modified the instant I load it.

    Works fine on 2023. Dunno how it works on 2024, I never switched to that one. Constantly complains on 2025.

    This is happening in CPU preview mode, I would check if it's happening in GPU mode as well but I deleted 2025 before thinking about that detail.

    Uservoice isn't letting me upload this file so I've posted it…

  9. Text wraps differently in Illustrator 2025 compared to previous version

    Encountered a very frustrating bug after updating to Illustrator 2025 today and opening an existing file. It turns out that text within type areas wraps slightly differently in this new version, causing overflow errors in several places throughout the document.

    The file I discovered this in was created yesterday in Illustrator 28.5.

    Interestingly, when I hover the affected text area, the blue preview rendering shows the old, expected wrapping. There is no way to get it back in the actual, rendered text, though.

    Zero changes have been made to this file since yesterday—only the Illustrator version has changed. I checked…

  10. Draw Inside doesn’t work when a clipping group is selected, requires to select its clipping mask specifically

    Draw Inside is great. Draw Inside lets you create a clipping mask in a fraction of the time it takes to create it with Object > Clipping mask > Make. But it's got some annoying issues.

    1. Draw a shape.
    2. Select it and turn on Draw Inside.
    3. Draw some shapes inside it.
    4. Exit Draw Inside, then select the clipping group with the Selection tool.
    5. Draw Inside won't work any more.
    6. Switch to the Direct Selection tool and select the clipping mask — Draw Inside works.

    The other case is Draw Inside won’t work with live compound shapes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49064681

    It'd be…

  11. Pencil tool now smooths way to much, ignores details

    Please enable the former way of working with the pencil tool again.
    The tool now smoothes far too much on its own, even when set to "smooth as little as possible", it is now really inaccurate, small movements are ignored.
    Real free drawing is no longer possible , that is making this wonderful, intuitive tool partially unusable. Only roughly usable for creating character designs, for example. where we need tiny details. Such a shame.

  12. Undo (CMD+Z) doesn't work correctly with "Scale Artwork with Artboard" feature

    When I scale artboard, and use new "Scale Artwork with Artboard (finally ;)" feature, and then try to undo to previous scale (Cmd+Z), some objects don't return to previous position and remain outside artboard. Please see screen recording, attached.

  15. Placing PDF comes up with an Unknown error

    There is a bug with Illustrator when placing certain PDF's I get "An unknown error is detected...." I have been getting this error since Adobe Illustrator 2023.
    Files will work if it's opened in Rosetta but not with the regular version. Now with 2025 the option to open in rosetta is gone.

    Using Mac OS
    Apple chip M1
    16gb Ram
    Sonoma 14.5

    Do not have any issues with this on the Intel macs.

  16. Make pressing Escape close Color modal dropdowns for Fill and Stroke in all panels

    If we open Character panel, unfold any dropdown in it and press Escape — this dropdown closes back.

    If we click underlined Stroke or Opacity in Properties, pressing Escape does the same.

    But if we click Fill or Stroke button in any panel (Control, Properties, Appearance), to get the Swatches/Mixer/Gradient/Generate dropdown... Escape does nothing.
    It should close this dropdown, as it does for everything else in Ai.

  17. 線を細く設定した際の表示バグ

    線の太さを0.001pxなどに設定した場合、設定は出来ているのに実際の線の表示位置と、選択できる線実体の位置にズレが生じます。
    表示限界かとは思いますが、表示できないなら設定も出来なくすべきかと思います。

  18. Global colors used in a freeform gradient don’t get added into Swatches when it’s pasted into another document until the file is reopened

    If you use global color swatches in the freeform gradient and copy to a new document, the global color doesn't get added to the swatches palette — you have to save and reopen the file for the swatch to appear.

  19. Illustrator 28.4 does not preserve SVG object hierarchy

    Starting with Illustrator 28.4, the object hierarchy is not preserved when saving and re-opening an SVG file. Many groups are created for no apparent reason.

    See this link for examples: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-28-4-svg-export-does-not-preserve-hierarchy/td-p/14871718#M3695

    This makes Illustrator completely impractical for editing SVG files. I will have to stay at 28.3 until this error is fixed.

  20. Contextual alternates don’t work for Cyrillic letters with Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers

    While Ai allows to pick a contextual alternate for Cyrillic letters for fonts that support them, it actually works only for Middle-Eastern & South-Asian composers, but is visually ignored for Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers.

    Take a look at the GIF attached.
