More details on "an error occurred while processing the appearance of an object".
When you start doing complicated work with a lot of effects, you start getting the above-mentioned dialogue. It is incredibly unhelpful: which of the several thousand objects in my illustration is causing problems? What layer is the offending object on? Where in the appearance stack did things go awry? Maybe I'd like to find out which object caused this - how about a button to select the offending object, unlocking whatever containing objects may be locked?
To make an analogy for the programmers: imagine if your compiler just said "some errors happened while compiling your project", and didn't even tell you which file had the offending code, never mind the line number or the type of error you made. Give us poor artists better diagnostics to figure out what the heck's going on, please.

Yes, I got the same email a couple of days ago. But as my work belongs to my company and clients, I cannot send an example. In fact I've done so many jobs since April that I do not even remember the offending files/AW

I have received an e-mail from Anish Kumar | Sr. Lead Quality Engineer– Illustrator regarding this issue, I haven't even commented here, so wondering what is happening and if this person is indeed someone who is trying to solve this issue. Anyone else got similar e-mail???

What version of an illustrator is causing this? So I know to avoid upgrade. :)

Lost all my work when reopened and have to start again. Please sort out the bug where images resize themselves or disappear when file is reopened for amends

I couldn't have said it better myself as I too have been butting my head up against this problem several times recently. Adobe: It's been awhile but please consider this another nudge to respond.

Exact same issue here. Would be really helpful if there was a way to at least point us in direction where the problem may be/
