Bug Reports

Illustrator Beta 30.1.65Windows 11  Beta failing to shutdown on own.  Requiring a forced shutdown.  Ai Beta 30.1.89 was the fix. All is well now. Thanks 

There have been problems with Illustrator crashing regularly, and although its frustrationg that crashes happen in the first place, what's worse is that nothing I am currently working on is ever recovered, even though I have selected Autosave every 2 minutes.In fact, illustrator has never once sucessfully recovered anything since the 2025 update and this 2026 Beta version is no different. If I could go back to the 2024 version I would.

The text's starting point is far off in the upper left corner, making it impossible to adjust the characters.

If I have two elements one directly on top of the other and the top element is locked, I should not be able to select it. Automatically, it should select the first non-locked element in the stack. Right now, if I have a textfield over a shape, if I lock the text field, i should have unfettered access to the shape behind it.  The way it is now, I have to find it in the Layers panel to select the shape behind the locked text field. Locking an element should make it not selectiable. It should not interfere with selection. of items below it.PLUS, this form that requires you to select a topic and gives you 6 unrelated and completely illogical selections just makes things worse. Please quit requiring people to lie about topics. THis is none of those topics but I have to pick. Terrible UX

I have forever used some combination of ctrl--alt-shift-drag to copy and constrain elements. Even though the alt key is not technically required, it has never been a problem until now. Now every time I try to drag copy and constrain an element, it looks like it's going to work then just disappears. If you don't want to support alt in the mix, don't preview the drag copy event. It is completely senseless to let someone struggle to do it the way they have always done it and then just not do it. Stop previewing it if you rerfuse to support it. But better yet, just ignore the alt key--let it be pressed or not pressed when dragging and constraining a copy.And AGAIN, these topics do not apply in any way. So I am giving people misinformation by selecting one of your topics below--since I have to to submit this bug. Please fix  the tag thing. I am going to post this with every bug report and I suggest that others do the same. 

Description:I am using Adobe Illustrator Beta on Windows ARM environment (Japanese locale).When I try to enter Japanese text vertically using the Vertical Type Tool, the characters are cut off and not displayed correctly.However, horizontal text input and Japanese input using the Type on a Path Tool work without any issues.Please investigate this problem with vertical Japanese text input in the ARM version.

Sometimes a panel will open so tall that even if you can drag the top of it to the top of your screen, you can't select the bottom edge so you can shorten it. There is a "Reset" option for your workspace, but I don't think Adobe should assume users know about it or have to resort to it. To compare, my Mac and Windows computers can detect available resolutions and refresh rates of external displays, so it would not be a stretch to assume that a desktop application can detect the user's display and correct accordingly. 

In the initial release of this program available on the ARM processor for the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, there was no difficulty using the tablet's pressure sensitivity while using the paintbrush tool. I seem to recall that this was version 29, though I am uncertain about the exact number. Unfortunately, I cannot access any version prior to 30 from CC. As I mentioned when I first discovered this was absent was the beginning of October. I posted about it in this forum and have not heard anything since. After upgrading to the current release, I am renewing this query in the hopes that either this will be addressed or at least I will be allowed to access the last release where this functionality still existed. As before, I have tested the tablet's pressure functionality in other programs (ConceptsApp and Fresco) and it works fine there. I would really like to be able to once again use the features of Illustrator on my Surface Pro.

Issue Summary:When attempting to use the “Pattern Generation” feature in Illustrator, the application force quits.Detailed Description:After entering a prompt and confirming the operation (the execution indicator appears), Illustrator suddenly crashes and closes automatically.

This is not unique to Illustrator Beta. When I create a new video 1080p file in Illustrator, two artboards are always created automatically, while only one artboard was selected to be created. Therefore, I always have to remember to erase the other artboard before I begin drawing. This is especially important now that AfterEffects seems to be looking at both Illustrator artboards (not just the top one anymore) and duplicates the layers when I import the Illustrator file to composition in AfterEffects. The additional layers are blank.

La fonctionnalité de pouvoir génerer des vues différentes d'un objet est plutôt bien, mais il y a un problème : Une fois la rotation générer et que l'on choisi un autre angle, les traits des objets sont vectoriser et deviennent des formes… ce n'est pas possible de garder la fonctionnalité des traits par défaut.  

Once you search for a color in Pantone Connect, switch back to working and then try to return to Pantone; it freezes the entire Pantone Connect space, preventing you from clicking anything or searching for another color.

I just updated illustrator beta and it wont open and it says its damaged. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch and got the same thing. MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 

Buenas, estoy usando la ultima version de Illustrator Beta - Ver 30.1 y al guardar los archivos me aparece el siguiente mensaje,.

I use linked images and smart objects to work non-distructively and update graphics easily, but recently, Illustrator doesn't seem to be placing images properly, causing problems with my work-flow. Even in Finder on MacOS Sequoia, when selecting an Illustrator file, the preview window shows some images hidden from the design. This affects Illustrator files in Photoshop and also Adobe After Effects as well. Illustrator and Photoshop: Latest versions of both programs and latest Beta versionsOperating System: Apple MacOS Sequoia 15.7.1 (24G231)

problem when trying to add shadows with gradient. not showing the compelete illustration.

Hi, I'm experiencing a persistent issue with text rendering in the latest beta version of Adobe Illustrator.When working in the Illustrator Beta app, some of my text objects appear reversed or mirrored on the canvas or in the preview. Interestingly, when I double-click the text to edit it, the display corrects itself temporarily. However, once I export the file to PDF, the issue returns — the affected text appears flipped again in the exported PDF.Has anyone else experienced this issue in the Beta version? Is this a known bug or is there a workaround? I'd appreciate any insights or solutions.Thanks.

The cursor (Pen Tool icon) completely disappears as soon as it enters the artboard/canvas area. It reappears only when moved back over the panels or menu bar. No error message is displayed.

We could use a couple of simple variables about the file itself: file name, last saved date (path and extension as options), author's name or initials. And since I had to choose from a topic list that didn't really have to do with my idea, I picked "Print and publish," so maybe there is an option that a variable would show up when printed, kind of like a layer that has a print option.

cuando quiero guardar no puedo previsualizar las ventana como normalmente se podría

Hola, espero esten bien, sin estar solicitandolo se activan los recuadros de animación y explicación de las herramientas e incomodan en el flujo de trabajo, en especial el de pincel, esta muy cool la animación, pero estaria bien que se mostrará si la primera vez que abres el programa o ya solo cuando uno vaya a buscar la herramienta 🙂 gracias 

When I save my document as a high-resolution PDF, the gradients are ripped completely pixelated. This is clearly a bug and very annoying if your artwork needs to be sent to the printer.  

Application Windows Still Drags UNDER All other Windows when open! This issue is now at least 2-3 YEARS old! Persists even in the latest BETA version 30. No restart is helping.When will this be fixed?? It is incredibly distracting and hinders workflow immensely, wasting an incredible amount of time.
