Stop changing artwork location when changing paragraph justification
When working with type, it is incredibly annoying that all of it shifts it's location when you're changing paragraph justification. I'm not sure for what reason you would want it to move the actual type and not just shift the justification icon box shown at the type baseline.

Automatically move to input box when selecting a transform option
This would improve workflow by allowing users to not have to click on the input box when transforming a layer. It actually used to be a feature but was removed for reasons I'm not aware of.

WHY ARE YOUR COLOR MODE SETTINGS SEPARATE BUT CALLED THE SAME?
SO YEAH, THERE IS A SEPARATE COLOR MODE IN THE DOCUMENT COLOR MODE.....SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT FROM THE COLOR MODE IN THE COLOR WINDOW.
WHAT PURPOSE THIS DESIGN CHOICE WOULD SERVE, IS BEYOND ME.
WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY DO? WHY WHY WHY WOULD ADOBE MAKE IT SO CHANGING YOUR DOCUMENT COLOR MODE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FUNCTION THEN CHANGING THE COLOR MODE IN THE "COLOR," WINDOW? WHAT PURPOSE DOES THAT SERVE? WHY DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO TEAR MY EARS OFF AND POKE MY OWN EYES OUT.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....FOR THE…

More Export options
It would be awesome if the export formats had a couple more custom/individual settings like:
- Active (checkbox)
- Subfolder Name
- Prefix (like the Suffix) and maybe a couple more under a setting panel for the one format like Lowercase etc :)

Forcing us to use Preview Bounds to get cap handles in CC 2019 is a no
For years we've had cap handles on strokes. Now we have to turn on Preview Bounds to get them. Unacceptable.

Add a setting for "Solid" in the leading field of the type panel
Illustrator defaults to "Auto" in regards to leading - about 120% of the point size of the type. When using display faces, I often find I set type a lot tighter - usually around the same leading as the point size. It would be really helpful if there were a setting for that in the type panel, so that as I change the point size of the type (say from 24 pts to 72 pts) the leading would also change automatically from 24 pts to 72 pts - just as it would from one size to another when the leading…
1 voteWe can change the value Illustrator uses as 'auto' in Justification dialog, which you can access via the Paragraph panel’s menu. Change 'Auto Leading' to 100% to get what you want.
If you want this setting to be applied to all new text objects, you should open Paragraph Styled panel, and edit the [Normal Paragraph Style].
If you want this to be applied to every new document you make, you should learn about editing document profile files Illustrator uses as core templates. Just don’t forget to backup these.

Ligatures are broken
OpenType ligatures are broken in Illustrator. When the ligatures feature is enabled most ligatures remain different letters. If ligatures are input directly from the glyphs palette they will decompose into different letters. Even if ligatures are disabled they still decompose into different letters when input from the glyphs palette.

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.

アンカーポイント削除時の挙動
例えば添付のような円の向かって左のアンカーポイントを削除すると、当然ながら添付Aのようになりますが、
Bのように、アンカーポイントは削除したいけれど形状はなるべく最初の状態をキープしてほしい
場面がたくさんあります。
他のベクター系のアプリケーションでは可能だったりするので、技術的に難しいことでは
ないと思うのですがこの挙動を採用することはできないんでしょうか。
何かやり方があったりするんですかね？
どちらか選べると大変ありがたいのですが。
またアンカーポイントを、形状は極力キープしたままライン上を移動できるようになると作業効率は
格段に上がると思うのですが。

Allow importing of PDF's not from Adobe Acrobat and preserve text
I import PDF files into Illustrator every day from programs like AutoCAD & Revit, and every single time, it tells me that Illustrator can't read the text in the font Arial, and that it must substitute it. This turns it into squares that are all giberish. The only workaround is to outline text in Acrobat before importing. Please learn that people are using programs outside the Adobe environment (for which there is no substitute by Adobe) and we need these BASIC capabilities.

Direct selection tool
Can you please put the selection tool back next to the direct selection tool instead of making it a hidden tool. It's very annoying having to pull it out to have both tools.

Update is way too advanced
Every single update should not change the basic fundamental functions of AI.
I am someone who is learning and having to relearn when just getting the hang of how to use this app comfortably really irks me.
In addition, i have an uncountable amount of talented peers who use this software and they do not even understand how to work with many of the updates.A huge example i can give:
Why can you not drag a photo to make it smaller or larger anymore?Also, why can the user not add FX to fonts and see what it does…

Corrupted files
I made numerous Adobe Illustrator files (featuring line drawings of clothing) that got corrupted. I had spent a few hours creating my drawings with the Adobe Illustrator software (saving copies along the way) but when I went to open the files to continue working on them they had all corrupted; leaving me with blank documents only showing a rectangular selection box. (Please find two examples attached.)
Are you able to fix this and/or tell me how to retrieve my files?
Thank you.1 vote
