Typing zoom level 100 broken
Repro:
1. Tap Zoom to bring up number pad
2. Enter 100 at a speed the average user would type (not unnaturally fast)Result:
After typing the 1, it auto changes the number to 3.14% (nice number choice btw :). But this then makes it so that the next two zeros you press just make the number 3.1400%.One workaround is to type super fast and it doesn’t trigger the 3.14 change in time to break it. Maybe just increase this delay to fix the UX.

Type font reverts to default when exiting app
When I exit the app sometimes my work has been closed upon re-entering the app. When I open the file back up my text/type has reverted to a default font. Seems to only occur with fonts I have imported.

Organizational library
The transfer of files between iPad and desktop are inconsistent. As a designer I have been transitioning to using my iPad for Illustrator. Files (.ai) on Apple desktop are not showing up on iPad Pro. Using other platforms for organization can manipulate the image and delays production.

Export Panel and exporting for artboard doesn't work
I drag my icon to export panel and select SVG. then hit export.
A pop up appears only for half a sec and the export is not there.
Same thing for exporting for screens; I select the artboard - export as SVG and I select that it would make subfolders for me and show it after export.
It opens the folder but its empty.
This bug appeared after the latest update. I urgently need it to be fixed.2 votes -
Crashing When Re-naming Layers
I just recently started using Illustrator again for some work projects after a couple of months away. I’ve noticed a new bug where the app crashes every time I try to rename a layer and loses all work since my last manual save. The app has always been a little glitchy, and I’m used to that, but this has happened consistently every time I try to rename a layer over the past several days.
I’ve restarted my device, updated my OS (26.4), and looked for an app update (3.0.10), as that has helped with issues in the past, but no such luck.

Unable to open files after IpadOS 26.4 update
When I try to open a file to work on, it’ll attempt to load the project, the UI properly loads, then the entire app freezes and crashes. I am unable to access my projects.
Edit: The file I attempted to open after several tries, however seems very unreliable.
Edit 2: I tried opening a different file and this error message popped up (IMG_0311.jpeg). This hasn’t happened prior to the OS update.1 vote -
Objects jumping - Can’t move them precisely
I’m trying to create repeat files I can download as tiles. To do so, I’m trying to duplicate and move objects precisely using the x and y positions in Properties, but the objects keep jumping/snapping so I can’t do it. Sometimes it works, but often it doesn’t, even with snapping turned off. Is there another way to make repeatable tiles?

UI Rendering Bug on M4 iPad Pro: Canvas doesn't match Layers Panel
I am reporting a severe rendering/cache bug. When importing images, the canvas displays incorrect artifacts that DO NOT exist in the original files. Even on the M4 iPad Pro, the app fails to refresh the visual display correctly.
The Evidence (Referencing Attached Screenshots):
Visual Discrepancy: My "Layers Panel" shows Object 3 is on the very top, but on the Canvas, it is incorrectly covered by "ghosting" pixels from Object 1.
Not a File Issue: These artifacts are NOT part of my images. They are UI glitches created by the app's rendering engine.
Critical Performance Issue:
Refresh Delay: It takes several minutes (3-5+ mins) for the canvas to finally refresh and show the correct layer order.
Frequency: This happens every time I import multiple files in a row.
Expectation: The M4 chip should handle image imports instantly. The current rendering engine is broken and makes professional work impossible. Please fix the cache refresh logic.

Moving Artboards (Text Displaced)
- When I move an artboard, if one layer is locked, the text gets displaced and does not return to its original position.
- Pressing Undo doesn’t restore it to its correct positions.
- The only way to fix this is by reverting to a previous file version using Version History.

Artboard Freezing (Zooming)
– When zoomed in, using two fingers to zoom out can cause the artboard to freeze.
– The toolbars remain responsive, but the artboard does not.
– To fix it, the app must be fully closed and reopened; exiting the file only doesn’t work.Device Information:

CRASH: Duplicate Object(s)
- Sometimes objects appear duplicated.
- Clicking on these these objects crash the app, causing loss of any unsaved work.
- After a crash, reopening the app allows you to continue working, but if the duplicated objects are still visible, clicking them will crash the app again.
- The only workaround is to not click the duplicates, but instead exit the current file and reopen it. All duplicated disappear after doing this.
- Closing the app and reopening the file does not work.
