Question

Vector Smart Object displace position of elements after saving the file in Illustrator (PSD 25/26)

Hi.

I/m using Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70) system and Adobe Psd 2026 (but issues I had also in the previous version) on Apple M4 with 16GB memory.

For some time I'm experiencing an issue with Vector Smart Objects. When I edit the graphics in the Illustrator VSO suddenly misplace randomly the elements of the graphics – they move slightly (or jump to a different position or dissapear) even though the artwork and artboard size haven’t changed. Even having the artboard size exactly the same as VSO in the Psd.

After closing the file in Illustrator and reopening it, making some minor change, and saving – proper display comes back. So – VSO doesn't affect the real position of the elements, only displays them inappropriately.

 

This behavior didn’t occur in previous versions. Has anyone else experienced this? Any known workaround or official fix from Adobe?

Hi @miko1aj77, thanks so much for reaching out!
Could you share a few more details about what’s happening? Screenshots would be super helpful. Also, when you edited the vector smart object, can you double-check if its size changed? That might make it look misplaced once you save it back to Photoshop.
Thanks a lot!
Alek
