The Control bar fill and stroke color option is broken again
The Control bar fill and stroke color option is broken again. The color is changing incorrectly when I select a swatch color or when I am trying to enter values in the color mixer. Also it is changing the color mode incorrectly in the color mixer when starting to enter values, for example when I start entering RGB values it changes the values to CMYK even though the document is RGB. There are many more problems that are adding up. The more Illustrator is trying to create new features the more it is becoming unusable.
Using Color Mixer in Control…

Clicking the locked object with Group Selection tool inside of a group with an effect applied selects the whole group
When you have a locked child in a group with any effect applied (Transform or Drop Shadow or Offset Path...), clicking this locked child with Group Selection tool (not Direct one) selects the whole object — while it is expected to have nothing selected.
Selecting the whole group with Group Selection should work only if you make several clicks on an child object, each click selecting the next parent group.... but here the child is locked, and it should not receive any clicks! Somehow having the effect applied breaks the click detection.This becomes especially painful when the effect is…

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.

"Automatically Save Recovery Data Every X Minutes" doesn't work
my auto save for recovery data is set to 2 minutes, but it rarely even saves reliably every "hour".
this happened again today and this time I lost 3 hours of progress--yes it was my fault, I was swamped from editing multiple projects across multiple apps for a deadline. And, naturally, illustrator crashed again. Like always, it doesn't have the recovery data from minutes ago. Judging from the save state, this time it seemed to have only saved after the "first 2 minutes" upon opening the file, and never again afterwards.
It's been a long standing issue. And while file…

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

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.

Please update and check if this problem doesn’t happen anymore.

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.

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.4 votes -
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.

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.

Have to restart Illustrator three times to load certain Adobe fonts
Certain fonts don't load in Illustrator unless i restart the program multiple times.
Sofia pro for example will never load in the first time and on the second start, will only load the base, so i can't get anything more than the italics and bold weights. in addition, just recently on the second start, i get the error that there is no account tied to my startup.
By the third restart, i can load in demi, medium, black, and the rest that I need.
