  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.

  2. Pasted items automatically get deselected in Beta 29.5 35

    Copy an element and paste it. It should be in a selected state, but it isn't.

  3. Shift Constrain not working

    Since update to v29.5.0.35, holding the shift key while resizing an object does not constrain the aspect ratio of the object.
    This happens whether "Transform Tools" is checked or unchecked.

    One exception is if I create a new object using the shape tool. Constraint works for those objects until I alter them, or if I try to resize while another object is selected.

    I have reset preferences, restarted Illustrator and the OS.

  4. When typing, Shift+R doesn't type a letter

    Typing R doesn’t work. I think it's changing to the brush tool?
    I can a capital letter R by using the glyph window, though.

  5. EPS not rendering correctly in 29.6.1 when double effect is used.

    In 29.6.1, I faced a major issue. All those files where an object has double transparency effect - For example

    1) Apply MULTIPLY effect (Try applying on a gradient)
    2) Group the object with self (CMD + G)
    3) Apply SCREEN effect

    Such files are not rendering properly in the version mentioned. However version 29.5.1 works as expected.
    Please fix this on priority.

    Cheers!!

  6. Beta Print Bleed has problems with locked layers

    In Illustrator Beta when a bleed is applied to an Artboard and then you lock a layer a message pops up saying "Unhide and unlock objects to include them in generative Expand". Once you click OK the message keeps reappearing not allowing you to do anything else.

  8. Illustrator has trouble exporting files to JPEG

    Illustrator has trouble exporting files to JPEG. It practically doesn't export them at all. It goes through the entire export process but ultimately fails to export the file. This only affects JPEGs.
    Windows 11
    Illustrator 29.8.10
    I deleted the preference file, uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the cache - nothing helps

  9. 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.

  10. Transform Pattern Tiles option doesn’t work when using Bounding Box

    The latest Beta build 29.8.0.5 ignores the Transform Pattern Tiles option being enabled when scaling an object using bounding box.

    The pattern is rendered as if it’s scaled / rotated while you drag (if Real-Time Drawing and Editing is enabled), but resets back when you release the mouse button / pen.

    I use Windows. I tried this with the GA build 29.6.1 and it works fine...
    However, here’s a report it happens on a Mac, seemingly with GA build: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1m2n2uq/pattern_not_transforming/

    I bet this issue is related to this one:
    Radial gradient gets changed when a shape is resized

  11. Deleting anything in Layers panel with Delete button focuses the Search field

    When in Beta I highlight an object in Layers panel and click the Delete button there — suddenly the Search field receives focus, preventing me from switching tools with hotkeys.
    If I drag the object onto the Delete button there — it works fine.
    Nothing like this happens in GA build.

  12. Latest Illustrator 29.7.0 #88 crashes upon file opening

    As said in the title: Illustrator Beta version 29.2.0 #88 crashes as soon as I open files saved in the beta before. The main Illustrator (29.6.1) does open the file without any problem.

  13. 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…

  14. Illustrator 2025 Version 29.6.1 de maskeleme sorunu (clipping Mask)

    Illustrator 2025 Version 29.6.1 de bir resmi maskelediğiniz zaman (clipping Mask) Overprint açık ise normal bir görünüm var. Ancak Overprint kapatıldığında resmin maske alanının dışı da görünüyor. Bu durum önceki versiyonlarda olmuyordu. Denemek için çalışmayı 2023, 2024 versiyonlarında açtığımda herhangi bir problem görülmüyor. Bu sorundan dolayı 2025 versiyonunu kullanamıyorum.

  15. Can’t select objects by clicking their fills with Direct Selection Tool in Beta 29.5.0.15

    It’s no longer possible to select objects using the Direct Selection Tool without clicking on either the object’s edge, or the object's center point. Clicking on the object's fill does not select the object. This has worked normally up until the 29.5 release.
    Same happens when trying to select a part of a dynamic symbol.
    Group Selection and Selection Tools works fine.

  18. Export As with Use Artboards now fully include all the object on the artboard and doesn’t crop them as expected

    Something is terribly wrong with Export As.

    For some reason 'Use artboards' no longer works in Beta 294.0.73 as expected. Here, I expect the parts of the circle to be cropped — but the resulting PNG includes all objects on the artboard.
    Happens for other formats and multiple artboards.
    This is PAIN.

    Does not happen in GA build!

  19. Snap to Point is broken in Beta 29.6 91

    When we disable everything but Snap to Point (to have a clean experiment), the way it works is awful.

    It seems like it happens after all, but the way the cursor blinks and the object gets snapped only after the mouse is released makes it very unobvious (snap-to-pointtestBeta.gif)

    Now take a look how general release handles it. This is how it should work (snap-to-pointtestGA.gif) — no cursor jittering, the objects renders as snapped before mouse/pen is released.
