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 -

Typing (with iPad and Magic Keyboard) is nearly impossible
Since using my iPad with the Magic Keyboard (2+ years) typing has been atrocious. Somehow only getting worse. Work takes 3x longer.
Typing almost never works.
Shortcut keys work 50% of the time. Then just stop until i restart the app1 vote -
all of the sudden my starting crashing, can’t open anything
I’ve never had any issues with the application for the past year. Today i can’t import any photos I get “can’t place file” and now i can’t even open a new document. It just show a blue loading circle and then crashes as soon as it goes away. Sometimes I get a little further than others, but I’m getting now where. I’ve reinstalled the app, updated my iPad, cleared out some storage, both on my iPad and cloud. I don’t know what else to do.

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…
