  1. Remove Bleed Icon from Artboard

    A red "Print Bleed" icon appears in the upper right of a document when bleed is applied. The icon doesn't provide any function other than show a message that it's a bleed. We need a way to turn this off.

  3. Rethink Modal Dialogs

    Here is a significant issue that many users, including myself, have encountered while using Adobe Illustrator—the frequent appearance of popups and modal dialog boxes. These interruptions disrupt the workflow and hinder productivity, which is highly frustrating and inappropriate for a professional design software.

    While I understand the importance of notifications and updates, the current implementation of popups often feels intrusive and unnecessary. These interruptions not only break concentration but also obscure parts of the workspace, causing unnecessary delays in completing tasks. Complicated transformations that require detailed selections get ruined when you have to stop everything to click an OK button.

  4. Do you guys really have to write the full "Adobe Illustrator 2024" in the Mac menu bar?

    It used to say "Illustrator" in the Mac OS menu bar for decades (briefly "Illustrator CC").

    I have a new MacBook Pro with the camera cutout, and now, because it was changed to a totally unnecessary "Adobe Illustrator 2024," all my menu items are being pushed to the other side of the camera housing, which then covers up my menu bar items. Seriously?

    What was wrong with how it was before? Is it not a priority for the user interface to be space-efficient? It has to tell us the year?

  5. Collapsed panels won't open when clicked!

    I keep some panels permanently expanded (eg. Character, Paragraph, Pathfinder/Align/Transform) with other ones like Transparency, Swatches etc. collapsed and tacked to the sides (see screenshot). When using 28.7.1, none of the collapsed panels will expand or respond to clicking any part of the panel. The only way I can expand them is to manually go into the Window drop down and click the name of the panel I need to expand.

  6. Blue frame around active artboard

    With the newest update thick blue frame around active artboard appeared. It makes work virtually impossible since it's now impossible to see the proper boundries of the graphics/arttboard. AFAIK it's sadly not a bug but a feature (as if new rearrange wasn't bad enough...) and there's no way to turn it off. Is that true? I understand that peope use illustrator for different kind of projects and some may find this helpfull but is there really no way to turn it off/customise it? Because it looks like a (thick blue) bug.

  9. BUG - The Contextual Task Bar doesn't appear when you select an individual compound path or compound shape

    I noticed that the new Contextual Task Bar doesn't show up when a single compound path or compound shape is selected. However, if you copy and paste that shape and select both copies, the Contextual Task Bar does show up. It also shows up if you take that single compound shape/path and group it - even though there's only that one single object in the group. This seems to be a flaw.

  12. Custom toolbars made in IL 2025 do not transfer over to IL 2025 Beta when opening the workspace.

    I have both Illustrator 2025 and 2025 beta installed side by side. I am pretty religious when it comes to toolbar customization, but unfortunately it appears that you can't transfer a custom toolbar between IL 2025 and 2025 Beta. From what I understand, toolbars are saved in the workspace file. But when copying my workspace over from IL 2025 to the 2025 beta folder, the toolbar I spent so long to create doesn't get transferred over.

    I am copying from "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 29 Settings\enUS\x64\Workspaces" to
    "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 29.7.0 Beta Settings\en    US\x64\Workspaces"

    Is there any way that a custom toolbar…
