  1. Clarification of Online Icon

    The lower-right cloud icon is supposed to show that a user is online or that the document is a cloud document? It’s not obvious. Also, it requires hovering over the icon to reveal the state. Is that on purpose? It feels like the purpose of this function could be made more clear.

  2. Readability of Initial State of Save to Cloud File Field

    This is my first time trying out the collaboration/share feature. Notice how the filename in the initial focused state is unreadable. The text color needs reversed.

  3. Rezising text boxes has become annoying

    When having a text inside a text box is impossible to resize this box. If one tries to do so with the pointer the text gets deformed, there´s no way to resize the box. And if tries to do it with the Direct Selection Tool (A) using both ends of the box, illustrator does anything totally different, like moving the box to one side or even Redo of any other object arround.

    The only way to do it is selecting each corner of the box and moving one at the time.

  5. Rulers and bounding box for live shapes are invisible in CPU Preview

    If I enable CPU, I don’t see my rulers (drawn as white) and the bounding box for any live shape (but once I convert one into a path — it appears). I can still resize objects and create guides, it’s just the rendering is broken.
    Works fine in GPU and in the GA build.

  6. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Smart guides not working

    Operating System: macOS 15.6 (Apple M4 pro), Adobe Illustrator Beta version 29.9
    Smart Guides are turned on, View > Smart Guides is on, but not working
    When moving or aligning objects, no smart guide lines appear.
    Actual result: No smart guides show up at all.
    Additional information:
    I have tried everything:
    Reset Illustrator Preferences
    Enabled/ disabled GPU Performance
    Reinstalled Illustrator
    Restarted Mac
    But Smart Guides still do not work

  11. 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.

  12. Export As with Use Artboards now fully include all the object on the artboard and doesn’t crop them as expected

    Something is terribly wrong with Export As.

    For some reason 'Use artboards' no longer works in Beta 294.0.73 as expected. Here, I expect the parts of the circle to be cropped — but the resulting PNG includes all objects on the artboard.
    Happens for other formats and multiple artboards.
    This is PAIN.

    Does not happen in GA build!

  13. Performance operations are greatly affected by memory usage.

    1. The software has excessive memory usage upon startup, occupying about 1.2 GB, while CDR only takes up a few hundred MB.
    2. There is lag when continuously zooming in, changing, or copying content.
    3. The content consists of text and icons, with 60 artboards taking up more than 3.5 GB of memory, which is too much.
    4. The performance on a graphics card P1000 with 2 GB is not as good as CDR.
    5. There is room for optimization to make better use of multi-core and multi-threading capabilities.

    (Note: The original list had an item '4' which seems to be missing, so I translated…

  15. Beta AI exports pictures as skewed and grayscale, with visible parallel lines

    When exporting JPG design Ai ruins the end-file. It is in grayscale and skewed as if would have been printed on bad printer.

  16. Illustrator 28.4.1 SVG Export Changed

    When exporting the SVG with the screenshot Options, the code is generated differently than previous versions. For our company we use SVG files and edit the code and these new svg export files are not working properly once uploaded. I have uninstalled and reverted back to the old version and this has fixed my issue for now.

  18. Type on Path Tool is not keeping text on path

    The text is suppose to round the circle with the globe inside, instead it is scattered across the design. I have had to correct this on two separate files today.
