The Control bar fill and stroke color option is broken againThe 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… 2 votes

Artboard reference point bugNo matter where the reference point is set (see screenshot), when resizing the artboard Illustrator acts as if it was in the bottom left corner. It started in previous version and persists in v30.

"Automatically Save Recovery Data Every X Minutes" doesn't workmy 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… 1 vote

Clicking the locked object with Group Selection tool inside of a group with an effect applied selects the whole groupWhen 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… 3 votes

Transform Pattern Tiles option doesn’t work when using Bounding BoxThe 29.6.1 build (and 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…8 votesThe team needs to know the exact hardware and OS specifications for the affected users and kindly asks to test it with the latest Beta to make sure it behaves the same as the general 29.6.1 build. Please reply in comments.

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\enUS\x64\Workspaces"Is there any way that a custom toolbar… 1 vote

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!!

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. 1 vote
