correct measurements
In the attached screen shot you can see that the height of each of these objects, when looking at the blue illustrator guidelines, is measured the same but in reality, as is clearly obvious from the stroke attached to one of them, they are not the same size. One of them is clearly bigger in size due to the stroke. This discrepancy is very and constantly confusing when trying to work in precision measurements. Please could you fix so the stoked object calculates the stroke outer edge as additional width, as that is what it is. Thanks James
3 votesThere's an option 'Used Preview Bounds' for that in Preferences, which toggles the behavior. When it’s on, Illustrator includes stroke weight into dimensions, and does not when it’s off.

Bring back the moon phase option in the info bar at the bottom left of the document window.
Once upon a time, one of the choices you could make for the info bar in the bottom left of the document window was the lunar phase: you'd get a little graphic, and the name of the current phase. It was a silly hidden option along with "Mordy's Home Phone Number" and "Eyes". But I liked it, and I always kept it set to the moon phase. It reminded me that the world outside existed, and gave me a quiet connection to the stars that I liked.
When the whole UI got rewritten a while back, it vanished. Along with…

Some type of notification when a linked CC library asset has changed...
I'd like some type of notification when a CC library asset changes so I can choose to keep the current version (essentially un-linking it) or update to the latest version. This notification should happen when opening documents as well as while they are open. It does not have to be a modal dialog, it could also just be that the asset gets an icon or is highlighted somehow - but something noticeable. Better would be the ability to specify whether I want it to update art automatically, notify me that an updated asset is available by highlighting somehow, or notify…

Using a character other than underscore for appending artboard names when exporting files.
Right now when exporting artboards from an .ai file, illustrator names the file with the original filename and the artboard name, separated by an underscore. I would prefer a dash, as the underscore isn't recognized as a non-word character when double-clicking to select text. Giving the user the able to select the prefix character would solve this problem.

requesting keyboard shortcut for 50% zoom
It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to zoom to 50%. Often I want to see my artboard with some black/background around it instead of as full-screen or actual size.
I currently do this by Ctrl+0 to fit to screen and then Alt + scroll to zoom out a little. But it would be great to cut this down to a single step.
Ctrl + 5 is not currently defined in Illustrator default hotkeys, so it would not interfere with any existing commands.

Add "don't show again" option to error dialog for hidden and locked objects when moving or copying artboard
I am now noticing a error dialog appearing when I try to move or copy an artboard when any layer in the document is hidden or locked that says "Any hidden or locked objects in the artboards will not be moved." This is also appearing if I have any elements locked or hidden even when those objects are not on the artboard I am interacting with.
Normally this would be fine, but when the artboard contains only unlocked and visible elements on unlocked and visible layers I am still seeing the error popping every time I move or copy an…

Crop command embedding linked images
I would be thankful if linked images remain linked (instead of being embedded after using the crop command). I would like to believe that this can be made possible. This is the normal behaviour in other graphic design software.
3 votesIf you want to keep a cropped image as a live linked image, you should Clip it instead. Press the Mask button (in Control or Properties panel) and Ai will create and select a rectangular path with the same dimensions. Transform this path with any tool you like or with the bounding box, and the image inside will remain unembedded.
Crop command, on the other hand, is intended specifically for 'physical' cropping, and since Ai won’t edit the original placed image, it gets embedded and then cropped.
Just use the method you need.
Please comment back if it works for you.

When Relinking to a CC Library Graphic, CTA Unclear
When relinking to a CC Library graphic, the buttons say "Cancel" and "Relink" but the current design/layout makes it read "Cancel Relink" unless hovered over—an easy fix; just space the buttons out.

Increase save dialog text width for long filenames (Mac OS)
Discussed this with Default Folder developers that Mac OS system dialog box's text width cannot be modified.
Instead, can Adobe improve the save dialog to allow a wider responsive text box for saving filenames.
Currently, filenames only allow 30 characters before it is hidden by the system's box size.
Example filename structure:
- Project Name + Title + 2020-06-20 File State.extSample name:

SVG Paths with marker endings render only the markers, not the paths
- Import the attached SVG file into Illustrator.
expected result: Illustrator should display a line with an arrow at the end.
actual result: Illustrator displays only the arrow at the end.also attached: image of problem behavior.
removing the marker-end attribute from the path in question will display the line.

Un doigt posé sur l’écran…
… pendant que le stylet est poseé, ferait afficher un menu.
À moins qu’il n’y ait la possibilité de faire la différence entre le toucher du doigt et celui du stylet : stylet pour dessiner, doigt pour les sous-menus.1 vote
