Illustrator (Beta)

My Illustrator starts lagging severely after I create a share for review, literally right after creating it, the lag becomes unbearable, forcing me to restart the program to fix the issue.

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. 

Dear Adobe Illustrator Development Team,I am writing to propose the implementation of a feature that would significantly improve workflow and precision in vector drawing: the automatic transparent visualization of the original path during edits, similar to an "Onion Skin" or "Ghost Path" effect.Currently, when moving anchor points or directional handles with the Direct Selection tool, the original curve disappears. To maintain a visual reference of the previous state, it is necessary to duplicate the path, lock it, assign a contrasting color, and finally delete it once the adjustment is complete. In fields where extreme geometric precision is required, such as product design, technical drafting, or the preparation of structured technical spec sheets, this manual and repetitive workaround causes constant interruptions to the workflow.The solution I am proposing consists of adding an option (which could be enabled via General Preferences or by holding a modifier key) that keeps a low-opa

I opened a pdf file to illustrator and commanded AI to add an image to one artboard and then convert artboards to svg. When in the beginning step of adding the image the app crashes.

JPEG image drag-and-drop to Illustrator: nothing shows up. I can't see the previous ones, and I can't see the picture either. Undo past; I can see it, but the image doesn't show up Before drag-and-drop  After drag-and-drop 

I have connected to internet, still it is saying internet issues

I draw using the paintbrush tool and it works but the lines are much thicker than they should be, and I cannot edit the strokes. The way ive found around it is that i need to select all the drawn lines, clear the appearance, then I can change the stroke width and matches what it should be. Once I’ve cleared the appearance I can also edit the type of stroke (like turning a solid line into a dashed line). Also the eraser continuously erases things outside of its radius no matter how small i make the eraser.

I have an image embedded in my Illustrator document that I’d like to remove, so I do ‘go to link’ to delete it:...but ‘Go To Link’ does absolutely nothing. Obviously a bug.So then I try to ‘Unembed’ it, but I get the stupid error: “The image cannot be unembedded because it is hidden.”. Another bug:There is also the option “Show in Explorer”, which makes no sense for an embedded image. Selecting this just opens the Libraries panel. Another bug.So then I just click on the trash can icon, and bug number 4 appears:I don’t care that it’s hidden, and neither should Illustrator! I hate the way Illustrator NEVER allows me to do ANYTHING on hidden items. It is frustrating and pointless that this restriction exists.As a last resort, I’ve tried asking the SLOOOOWWWW (I’m typing this while it ‘thinks’) and generally useless AI Assistant to “Find any embedded images and show them in the Layers palette” and, to my surprise, it succeeded! That’s the first time I’ve ever found a use for the AI Assista

Ai is great. I love working with it. But a big panel message like this should be hide-able.

Illustrator (Beta) installs and launches once, but after a system restart or letting the machine sit overnight, it stops opening. The app hangs at the very start of launch and never reaches the UI. A clean reinstall fixes it only for one session. After the next reboot, the issue returns. Repro steps:Install Illustrator (Beta) from Creative Cloud.Launch it — it opens normally.Restart macOS Tahoe (or wait until the next day).Launch again — the app hangs on startup. Troubleshooting already done:full reinstall of Creative Cloud Desktopremoval of OOBE, SLCache, SLStoredeletion and clean reinstall of Illustrator (Beta)ran Adobe Log Collector immediately after failure This behavior began only after upgrading to macOS Tahoe. Illustrator (release) still works; only the Beta build becomes unusable after Tahoe’s system integrity checks post-restart. Looking for confirmation from Adobe whether the current Illustrator Beta build is compatible with macOS Tahoe, and if there is a

Certain transform tools don't show a live preview of changes while editing (e.g. the rotate tool won't show previews of rotation before releasing). Some notes:This is a new behavior, as of a recent update. This only happens using "View using GPU"; the preview works normally with "View using CPU", albeit slightly slower.  This occurs even if "Real-Time Drawing and Editing" is active in Preferences>Performance and GPU is selected as active on the same page. This behavior isn't present in the current non-Beta Illustrator version using the same hardware and GPU settings.
