Highlight anchors on mouse over - across multiple layers
Previous versions of AI allowed highlight anchors on mouse over that applied to all currently editable layers.
For example, if there's an circle on layer one, and you start drawing on layer 2 above it, rolling the mouse over the circle highlights it's anchors, so the points you create on layer 2 are exactly over the circle.
2026 version can do this, but it only sometimes works. Most of the time it doesn't.
The option saves one from constantly averaging points. It's essential if you're sending files to a laser cutter.

3D objects don’t update
When you click an extruded object, that you have deselected and want to edit again, the change you do, doesn't seem to update. If I use a slider, it remembers the setting, but the viewport doesn't update for example the extrude depth. I regards all settings though.

Illustrator 2026 (30.0) saved files contain a large amount of blank space.
OS: windows 21H2
Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.0) (desktop)In Adobe Illustrator 2026 (version 30.0), files saved with default settings are significantly larger than those from the previous version. Before saving, the action “Delete Unused Panel Items” is executed to remove all unnecessary elements (the Save Options panel as Figure 1).
A comparison of file sizes with version 29 (with identical content, Figure 2) confirms this increase. When the file is opened as a text document (Figure 3), it reveals a substantial amount of whitespace.2 votes -

Once you start typing a font name in the Font Browser the scroll wheel stops working
Once you start typing a font name in the Font Browser the scroll wheel stops working.
Several of the other menus don't scroll either. For example, the units dropdown in the create new document window.Arrow keys still work.

Live text converts to outlines when copying and pasting within Illustrator
When copying artwork that contains live (editable) text and pasting it within the same document, or between Illustrator documents, the text objects intermittently convert to outlines (rendering them non-editable). This occurs with both area type and point type.
This is happening with brand new files (not old ones). Dragging from one Illustrator document to another (correctly) brings in editable text, but I've ensured no third-party clipboard managers are enabled.

画像配置の際のフォルダ When placing or relinking images, Illustrator no longer remembers the folder location
画像配置の際、複数回使っている同じ画像でもフォルダを記憶してくれず、大変に困っております。
以前のように、一度フォルダを指定したら同じ場所を自動的に参照してくれる仕様に戻していただきたいです。
制作作業において非常に不便で、効率に大きく影響しています。When placing or relinking images, Illustrator no longer remembers the folder location — even for multiple links that use the same image.
It would be very helpful if Illustrator could once again remember the previously used folder, as it did before.
This current behavior is extremely inconvenient and has a serious impact on workflow efficiency.2 votes -

Text is not working
My textboxes are empty including those that use to have text in it. I can create or select and edit them but when I type something in, nothing appears. If I try to select a text layer thats connected to a group, it randomly changes to selecting the parent/group.

Rotating an object with 3D Extrude & Bevel causes pixelation in v29.8.2
I don't know if any user has raised this before, but the 3D Extrude and Bevel in Illustrator (29.8.2) has an issue. When trying to manipulate an object by rotating it, the object completely pixelates as it is adjusted. It's impossible to ascertain the positioning as it just becomes a massed blob of pixels whilst I am trying to position it. Whether positioning it manually, or by using the X,Y, Z sliders, the problem still persists. Zooming in doesn't work either (the pixellation just increases in size). See screen grab- as you can see, the item I am trying to…

Image in clipping mask moves when I open the file in Acrobat or Preview
Illustrator 29.8.2 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
I have images in clipping masks. When I open the .ai document in Adobe Acrobat or Preview, the images have moved.
The workaround I have for now is to print to .ps to generate a .pdf.(I just updated Illustrator but it happened yesterday too before the update with another file)

Files won't actually save until closed.
Illustrator 29.8.1
When either choosing the 'save' command from the file menu, or hitting 'command+s' the saving text flashes in the filename of the tab, but the file does not actually save and it continues to have the unsaved changes asterisk there as well.
The only way to save and get the currently open file to save/update is to try and close the file, and then save through the 'you have unsaved changes' window that pops up before closing.
Please fix this, I have several operations in my workflow that require uploading a file I'm currently working on to an…

Spell check error - changes language to Bulgarian
Spell Check starts in English for the first few then always changes to Bulgarian! This renders spell check absolutely useless, unless I happen to type in Bulgarian... which I haven't had the need to so far.

Mouse cursor highlight disappeared/not showing up?
That's it. It just disappeared. Reset computer - didn't fix it. I'm on Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2. I'm updated to the latest Windows 11 version, and the latest Adobe Illustrator CC version (v 29.8.1)

Selection Tool grabbing top layer rather than selected object in Layers panel
I’m aware that there are workarounds to this issue, but being something I have always done through habit, I don't like that this has suddenly changed on me. I reset my settings to default, but cannot find anything that goes back to how I used to select objects.
Okay into the issue... I usually would select objects in the Layer panel, I use overlapping objects of the EXACT same size, ones with pattern vectors and gaps and lower layers of gradient colours, and if I want to edit this colour layer or move it around my canvas, I would normally…

Fehler bei Bildern beim Ändern vom Dokumentfarbmodus RGB <=> CMYK (Bilder gehen kaput)
System: Windows 11 Pro, Illustrator 29.8.1
Ich habe folgendes Problem:
Ab und zu erstelle ich ein Plakat in A3 im CMYK-Modus für den Druck und benötige das identische Layout zusätzlich für eine Stele im RGB-Modus. Bisher konnte ich die Layoutinhalte aus dem CMYK-Dokument einfach kopieren und in ein RGB-Dokument einfügen – das funktionierte problemlos. Seit einiger Zeit jedoch werden die verknüpften Bilder dabei zerstört:- teilweise werden sie komplett schwarz,
- teilweise stark verfärbt,
- teilweise nur in Fragmenten dargestellt.
Manchmal passiert es auch, dass ein schwarzes Bild nach dem Bewegen des Illustrator-Fensters plötzlich wieder sichtbar wird.
Das gleiche Verhalten tritt auf, wenn…
