1. Fix it so that it isn't so laggy and so that keyboard shortcuts work (on a Mac)

   Fix Illustrator so that on a Mac the performance isn't so slow and laggy that I can count to 13 before menus drop down, and I end redoing so many things because the lag caused me to overclock. Keyboard shortcuts don't work either, 99% of the time. Used to be great software, but now it is almost unusable. It's lack of performance ate up at last 65% of my work time. It takes hours now because of lag time to do something that would have taken 30 minutes in vision 2018 and earlier. I have no lag or performance issues with Photoshop, or Lightroom, or any of your other apps, but this one I, week, if I had any other options at this moment, I would have deleted it. When I really just wanted to smash it with a baseball bat.

2. Illustrator 2020 performance significantly slow/sluggish -

   Sorry, can't recommend upgrade of 2020 to my colleagues. I work for a large Engineering firm and we have powerful computers. We have critical deadlines for Q4-2019 - Upgrading to 2020 will be a big mistake as it will cause delay to our projects and stress to the members .
   Saving files takes too long, copying takes system long to process - pasting is fine. Adding text is ridiculously taking forever and it creates its own textbox size - It feels like going back to AI CS6.

   Suggest to review what you had for AI 2019- this was one of the best versions.

3. Hide Grid on Perspective Tool

   The "hide grid" function is so frustrating to select. Can it be larger or the target area around it be bigger?

4. transform again tool glitch

   In Adobe Illustrator, I use the transform again tool a lot during my day to day and seemingly recently, it hasn’t been affecting live or outlined type* when it will affect any other regular object. Has anyone come across this on their own or know how to fix it? It will continue to transform the text if you scale up or down as well repeating moves but when scaling objects to certain sizes using the guides and then replicating the same growth on the text object doesn’t work.

   I’ve tried ungrouping, releasing the compound path, tried intersecting the shapes, the menu command

   Which problem? At the same time, if you were able to resolve it, why report. If it still bothers you — please tell more about it.

6. Suddenly Crashing and then Reopening with a Text Import Options pop up. Please fix. What is going on?

   There are many instances mentioned on the web of illustrator file suddenly crashing and a text import options pop up appearing when you try to reopen. The file is then blank. It doesn't matter how many times you have saved it. There is nothing in layers. Please fix

7. iCloud Compatibility

   I was just at Apple the other day because my Macbook Pro (2018, running Mojave) kept crashing when I would open it from sleeping. They told me something in the Adobe App Suite was causing this to happen. So I uninstalled apps, then reinstalled them and it fixed the crashing upon waking issue.

   However, when I tried to use Illustrator, it was very buggy, glitchy, would freeze up. I contacted support and they told me the only solution is to sign out of iCloud to use Illustrator. I don't even have any Adobe related files in my iCloud, but it is my primary account I use to sync calendars and email.

   It seems crazy to me that I can't even be signed into iCloud in order for Illustrator to function properly, considering none of my files are even stored in iCloud.

9. Improve thumbnail functionality and allow them to be turned off in Pattern Maker Window

   While layers, groups, and paths offer you the ability to shut off thumbnails, Pattern Maker does not. As it is a live preview of what you're currently editing, it can slow things down quite drastically, even to select 1 item in the swatch with complex patterns. Often I have to shutoff layer thumbnails since they rerender the thumb for every revision, and would like the same functionality for Pattern Maker. Swatch thumbnails don't seem to be an issue and it would appear they only update once the changes are saved. Since there are many options for bricking, and tiling, it's actually easier to simply zoom out if you're looking to see how your pattern tiles, the thumbnail is often poor reference to identify complex patterns.

11. Acceso directo a objetos/texto con rapida configuracion (ejercitos age of empires)

    hola! les escribo para dar una breve sugerencia la cual quizás ya fue propuesta por otra persona impaciente igual que yo... Si alguna vez jugaron al age of empires y fueron atacados podrán haberse dado cuenta que si configuraron sus ejércitos con anterioridad podrán defenderse mejor o incluso realizar un ataque mas efectivo. Esto se podría hacer seleccionando primero el objeto/texto y después apretando (control) mas un numero. De esta manera se podría hacer cambios de las distintas profundidades de diseño mas rápido, sin tener que mover todo para los costados si se quisiese cambiar algo el z-index 1.
    Espero que se entienda la idea.
    Saludos

13. Help with bug fixes

    I am having a ton glitches with Illustrator since going to 2019 CC. When I change the colors of simple shapes they turn transparent and disappear. Zooming and out sometimes makes them reappear but more often than not I have to quit Illustrator completely and reopen. Even then it typically does it again shortly after.

    AI needs to be able to keep up with AE and CA, when I make a puppet for those apps in AI, AI becomes overwhelmed and hopelessly slow. It needs to be much more powerful so my workflow is reasonable. Also if I have to rasterize everything to help these apps handle the burden, there should be an undo button for rasterized bits for editing purposes. But there's a huge discrepancy between what these apps are supposed to be able to do, and what they actually can do.

19. bug: Screen turns black after choosing width tool

    In between bugs I still try to make something in Illustrator, and now this happened:

    1. I hit Shift + W on the keyboard to select the width tool.
    2. Instead of the width tool cursor, the cursor became a black rectangle.
    3. I noticed both the Selection tool and width tool were selected in the tools window.
    4. I dicided to click on an Anchor anyway, and the screen turned black. The video signal went off, monitor went on standby. The HDD/SSD light on the PC was flashing nonstop. PC did not respond to anyting (I think, but I could not see because there was no visual).
    5. Working file was recovered after reboot, that's nice.

20. Enchanced anti-aliasing

    Illustrator's anti-aliasing is very dirty and very-very dark. I personally work mostly on icons in Illustrator and the reason I avoid the application for say simple UI is that the result will be dirty. If I import my illustration from AI to Photoshop or Adobe XD - the whole layout will become much cleaner, lighter on preview and on export from there.

    Recently I've encountered a situation when my colleague had a small circle, and for this circle, the stroke's been defined as black and the fill was transparent. In Illustrator it looked like the circle hadn't a hole in its center (because the stroke was wide and the circle itself was small) but in any other application (Ps and even Safari and Sketchapp when exported as .svg) the hole was big and obvious.

    See, I can't show Illustrator's export results to my clients, especially on pitches: my layouts will look dirtier than other persons' work. It will look cleaner even if I open illustrator's file in Photoshop and export from there. But it solves the problem on an export stage and not when I'm editing a file. So it's a real problem.

    It would be lovely if you implement in Illustrator the same anti-aliasing mechanism as you already have in Adobe XD or After Effects.
