  1. No options are visible in the Format Settings dialog for Asset Export in Ai 29

    Confirmed environment
    Windows 11 24H2
    Version 29.8.1 and 29.8.2
    English and Japanese Edition

    In the Asset Export format settings, the number of items displayed differs from what should normally appear.
    This issue does not occur immediately after installation. It reoccurs when Illustrator is closed and reopened, then the settings are displayed via Asset Export.
    Temporarily displaying “Export for Screen” from the File menu's Export option restores normal display.
    This phenomenon does not occur in 28.7.10.
    But, this phenomenon occurs in 30.0.72 Beta.

    Japanese explanation:
    「アセットの書き出し」にある「形式の設定...」で、表示される項目が通常と異なり少なくなってしまいます。
    インストール直後に動かした場合には発生しません。Illustratorを一度閉じて再度起動し、アセットの書き出しから設定を表示すると、この問題が発生します。
    一時的な回避方法として、ファイルメニューの書き出しオプションから「スクリーン用に書き出し...」でダイアログを一度表示させると正常に表示されます。
    （Illustratorを再度終了させて起動すると再発しますので、また同じ手順が必要です）
    この現象は 28.7.10 では発生しません。
    しかし30.0.72 Betaでは発生します。

  2. 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…

  3. Artboard reference point bug

    No 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. In a document with one artboard it's annoying, in a document with 40 artboards it makes work impossible.

  5. Eyedropper + Click not sampling correctly outside of the window

    When I sample a colour outside of Illustrator using eyedropper + click, the eyedropper doesn't select the colours accurately outside of illustrator: website, desktop, and so on.

  6. Scaling an object with the bounding box using Shift + Selection Tool is acting weird (Illustrator Beta 2025)

    When I hold the Shift key to expand or shrink an object it starts to act weird. Essentially it is not stable.

  7. "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…

  8. Smart guides not working

    Smart Guides are turned on, View > Smart Guides is on, but not working
    When moving or aligning objects, no smart guide lines appear.

    I have tried everything:
    Reset Illustrator Preferences
    Enabled/ disabled GPU Performance

  9. Preferences require 2x Enter to commit and exit

    Focus is in Keyboard Increment in Preferences now, but you have to hit Enter 2x to commit and exit the dialog. Used to be 1x.

  12. 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…

  13. Rulers have turned black

    Operating system: See DxDiag.txt document

    Version Illustrator (Beta) 29.8 28 (64-bit)

    I opened Illustrator yesterday to find the rulers have blacked out (see image). I have tried everything I can think of, even uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator but to no avail.
    The rulers work just fine on the regular version, the problem only exists on the Beta version.

    Many thanks David
    Keep up the great work.

  14. Illustrator close immediately when zoom in

    Hi, I'm working in MacOS Ventura with illustrator Beta 29.8 28; when I try zoom in with the keyboard (Cmd + Space bar), the program close immediately. This happens after I installed the 2 latest patches.

    Please fix that!

    I can't change the shortcut back to ESC either. Please help me fix this. It's very disruptive.

  16. 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

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

    The 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…

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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!!
