  1. Illustrator CC 23.0.1 keeps reopening after closing a file

    After I close out a file in Illustrator a blank window pops up ready to make another file. Very irritating. If I wanted to start another file I would open it manually. Otherwise I have to close out the new window to do some other task on my computer. How do I make it stop opening back up??Attached is the window that keeps popping up.

  3. Rename 'Group Selection Tool' to Path Selection Tool

    Confusing name - the Group Selection tool, ignores groups - it selects a path, even when part of a group.
    Should be name 'Path Selection Tool'

  4. シンボル編集モードでのレイヤーオプションの保存がされない

    シンボルを作成後、配置されたシンボルをダブルクリックしてシンボル編集モードにし、レイヤーオプションのカラー（パスを選択したときに表示される色）を変更する。
    シンボル編集モードを一旦終了し、再度編集モードに入ると、変更状態が保存されていない。
    シンボル編集時にパスの選択時のカラーが見にくい場合、編集モードに入るたびにカラーを編集しなければいけない。

  5. Fix the Libraries issue in all Apps

    I've noticed that this issue goes back a few years and I haven't found one fix that's permanent. It notifies me that I need to sign in even though I already am.

  6. Can't scroll through fonts and have text change while scrolling anymore...?

    I am not sure why this feature changed but I use a lot of different fonts in my industry and its great to be able to scroll through fonts and have text change while scrolling so I can see what they look like without having to click on each font to see how the text looks. This will take forever now. Is this a bug or a feature you will be fixing?

  7. Lag from Adobe Draw to Desktop application in Mac

    There is a lag from Adobe Draw App (on the iPad) to Desktop application in Mac. It is seamless from Ipad to Microsoft. I have to restart my Mac to get the transfer working. It is a pain as I am between tasks, to have to close all my files to restart the applications. Please look into it, appreciate it!

  8. Add menu highlighting the same as the new InDesign feature

    I find the new menu highlight option very useful in InDesign. It would be helpful in all Adobe products.

    Please add menu highlighting the same as the new InDesign feature.

    In the attached I have highlighted PDF and Print Presets.

  9. Select elements of a compound object in the Layers panel

    I don't understand why a compound object can't be expanded in the Layers panel to reveal its elements, and let me select and manage them. Just like I can see and select elements in a (clip) group, and cat go to into isolation mode with a compound. What's the rationale to prevent this ?

  10. Ability to import from Adobe Draw on iPad as a path/line and not a filled shape.

    Quite an essential thing to be able to export sketches from Adobe Draw as STROKES (editable paths/lines) instead of a filled shape, which is not readily editable in AI.

  11. I cannot see my file when I open it into Illustrator. The app opens but the file is hidden.

    I cannot open my files into Illustrator. I try to open it but the app launches but no file is visible. I try to "Open file…" and it says that it is already opened. I cannot see it. I can only see it if I go to "Arrange" and "Float windows". This is a new issue.

  12. It would be helpful if you had the option to cancel a quit.

    It would be helpful to have a cancel button for when you quit the program. I constantly hit Command Q instead of Command W and I have no option to save my work before it quits. All I can do is clear the clipboard.

  13. File preview in home screen limited to artboard

    In the home screen previews of the most recent files are available, but the preview includes all objects in the document, regardless of the artboard(s), so that the preview does not necessarily reflect the artwork very well.

    (I routinely include loads of stuff outside the edge of the artboard, copies of elements I’m working on, template objects, etc. Which are part of my work process, but are just noise when it shows up on my preview.)

    I therefore suggest that the preview only includes objects (or parts of objects) within the artboard(s).

  14. Define a default placement option

    Make it possible to define other placement options in preferences. So you can, for example, make complete documents with "File dimensions" as a preference

  15. crashed and erased my project file? from two hard drives?

    Just letting you know I just updated AI and it just crashed and the project file I was working on (that I had saved to two separate external hard drives) is nowhere to be found now, it didn't show up in my recent files and now I have searched where it was saved on both hard drives and it is completely gone. Awesome. So I guess my request is that if illustrator crashes make it to where it at least doesn't delete the project completely, and autosave backup would be nice but I'd really rather not have to start projects…

  16. Disable autocrop suggestions

    The aggressive new autocrop suggestions in Illustrator 23.0 are a huge hassle. Every new crop I make I have to move the suggested crop lines back on 2-3 of the sides of my cropping image, or risk losing as much as 70% of the original image. Very much a waste of my time and a headache.

  17. UI Font scaling like Photoshop has now

    Can we get illustrator to have the same type of UI scaling capabilities that Photoshop 2019 has now? I saw that illustrator added the ability to have small, medium and large interface but can we also have text scaling separately as well like small, medium, large so we can change that independently? Right now I have illustrator open and the icon size is ok but the text is too small now. So if you wanted to have the interface as small but the text as medium, that's what I'm talking about.

  18. Simple Color Swap in entire document by selecting two global swatches

    It would be wonderful if possible to swap global swatches by selecting two swatches and swap them in the entire document. The same way it it already possible to merge them.

  19. Customize appearance of Action buttons and open actions in separate panels

    Is it possible to make actions button's width smaller?

    Or make it possible to open each set of buttons in a separate panel?
