  1. Text disappearing in Preview/other Adobe apps

    Updated my version of Beta today.

    After saving a working file it no longer displays text in finders preview, or within an indesign file as a placed graphic. It displays correctly when opened in Illustrator (normal and beta versions).
    Using other devices running Sequoia 15.2 the preview image and indesign file with the placed graphic also appear without text, but opening in Illustrator on that device does show it. So it's not OS related.

    My only work around is to open the file and resave it in normal Illustrator and not the Beta version.

  4. Subject: Illustrator Beta – Unexpected Crash When Using Pencil Tool with Command Key

    Hello,
    I’m currently using the Illustrator Beta version and have encountered the following issue:

    Issue Description:
    After a recent update, the application crashes unexpectedly when using the Pencil tool (N) while continuously holding the Command key during drawing. This crash occurs without any warning, and none of the work is saved, resulting in repeated data loss.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Launch Illustrator Beta

    Select the Pencil Tool (N)

    Begin drawing with the mouse while continuously holding the Command key

    After a short period, the application crashes without warning

    Is this a known issue?
    If so, is there a workaround or a…

    Need More Info  ·  AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Thank you for reporting this issue. We’ve attempted to reproduce it on our end, but unfortunately, we haven’t been able to observe the same behavior. To help us investigate further, could you please provide the following information?

    1. Is the issue still consistently reproducible on your end?
    2. Have you submitted the crash report via the crash reporter dialog, if one appeared?
    3. Could you share the machine configuration you’re using .
    4. If possible, a short screen recording demonstrating the issue would be extremely helpful.

    Your assistance will help us resolve this faster. Looking forward to your response.



    Regards,

  5. The initial pivot for a Point Type text when Scale tool is picked is wrong

    In the latest Beta 29.5.0.35 the default position of the pivot point for a Point Type text is not at its anchor point anymore, but at its center. This used to work fine just recently.

    While this behavior CAN be an option for the Scale tool, it should not be hidden and given as a default one.
    But I’d appreciate having it in the dialog when a text is selected.

  7. File only partially read: Urgent Help Needed

    Hi,

    I have been using Ai for over 10 years for work (using my company's account), and the beta version for about a year. Recently, I encountered an issue opening a master design file that is synced with Google Drive. The file was created and saved by me on the same device and software. I have never faced this issue before, so I doubt it's related to an internet or Google sync problem. Even if it is, I believe it should still be reported, as this is quite concerning. I am using the latest beta version, but the file was…

  9. The program closed just when i just finished making the final details and normally when it closes for a bug it saves a backup automatically

    I need back my archive, I just lost 4 hours investing time in that work and it closed without any explanation, normally when it closes it shows you a notification to fill a form of information but now it was nothing, like it didnt care at all.

  10. Placed JPEG JFIF images are rendered as white

    When I place JFIF JPEG images into Ai Beta 29.5.0.15, they get rendered as white.
    Same images placed into GA build are rendered fine.
    Can’t share the images publicly due to the copyright.

  11. Major issues on MAC desktop with shortcuts and tools. Unusable actually.

    Copy and paste is not working. Handles and boundaries are not showing. Things are randomly undoing steps. Zooming in randomly is happening. Most shortcuts don't work. I can not edit text, there is a lag and it never enters to let me edit it.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Some tools don’t allow to snap the transformation pivot to the current selection’s own points using Smart Guides

    The latest Beta 29.6.57
    It seems like Rotate and Scale tools (and I suspect others as well) no longer see Smart Guides for the current selection’s own points — only of other objects. What’s wrong? All SG options are checked, as always for me.

    Still works as expected in the main build.

    When exporting properly grouped and named assets in the Asset Export panel, SVG, PDF, JPG, EPS, and Ai files will export multiple versions of assets in the file, but PNG files export properly.

  16. Frequent app crash due to an unknown reason

    I lost 2 of my projects in Adobe Illustrator because the app closes suddenly and doesn't save the files even though it's set to save changes on all my files every 15 minutes. When I open the app once again it says "Adobe Illustrator just recovered from a crash". It repeats 2-3 times in a day and every time the file is lost or not recovered correctly. After the last crash my app stopped showing any images that I add to the file and stopped showing any actions I do with Illustrator tools. There is no ability to work on…

  19. Can't type hex code in gradient dialog

    In v28.6 -- After double-clicking a gradient stop to open color options, I am unable to enter anything into the hex code text box. May have resulted from me clicking out of Illustrator and back in while the gradient color dialog was open.
