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.

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.3 votes -
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:

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.3 votesThe team has retracted the change they made to allow point type to behave like an object and snap by glyph bounds, like an area type would, and the pivot is now get placed at the type’s point again.

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.

However, this build got Shift broken for constraining transformation, so it’d be wise to wait for the next Beta build, where it is reported to be fixed.

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…
