PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE re-establish the the ability to drag over dimensions to change them!!!!
I've been dragging over the top of dimensions to change them for years, I'm speaking about artboards specifically. Now with the latest release of IL I have to triple click or place a curser and either backspace or select over the top with my keyboard. It's REALLY ANNOYING and disruptive to my workflow. I know it's a simple thing, but when you've been working a certain way for years a slight change like that can cause all sorts of mistakes in projects.

Align to Key Object using Direct Select
Double clicking on an object while having direct selection active does not cause the object to become key object. This is possible only when selection tool is active
Recommendation: allow double clicking to select key object while under direct selection tool

Screenshot without the high light going off when i drag my curser over the screen!
I need a clean screenshot. I need the screenshot without the high light going off when I drag my cursor over the screen! Yes. I try using preference and turn off the highlights. It didn't work. It would be great if you have a clear button that states the "SHUT OFF ALL HIGH LIGHTS INFO" button on the preference page.

Ouvrir plusieurs documents à la fois
Je me demande est ce qu’il serait possible de faire en sorte d’ouvrir plusieurs documents, au moins deux pour copier coller des objectes, calques, de l’un vers l’autre, sans avoir à passer par la galerie.
Importation spéciale ? Aperçu ? Picture in picture ?

Export large artboards to PNG using high (300 dpi) resolution
Currently, files with large artboards (larger than 6535 px x 4730 px) can not be exported as a PNG with high resolution. The best is a medium resolution. My current project series requires a specific large artboard size (9075 px wide x 6201 px high exactly) and I would like to be able to export and then print them in high resolution to give my customers the best possible printed product. Illustrator does not currently support this, unfortunately.

Illustrator 2021 Won't Open
Every time I try to open AI/2021 the icon just bounced and the App Panel just hangs and nothing happens. I'm using a 2017 version of the 2013 desktop, with plenty of RAM, all my other apps work except this - any tips boffins?

Adobe Illustrator 2021 uses 100 percent of CPU even without opening any file!

Automatic spell check (similar to InDesign)
While not everyone creates text heavy content in AI, it would be a MAJOR help if I could either have a 3rd party way to spell check as I go or to have an internal method of doing this.

Opacity mask not behaving as expected for object that crosses over itself
When I make a gradient opacity mask for a line object as shown, the opacity mask behaves as expected when the object overlaps another object (cyan rectangle; i.e. you can see the bottom object through the top object), but does not when it overlaps itself (magenta rectangle; i.e. the part of the object on the bottom is clipped by the shape of the object, rather than visible through the opacity mask like the separate object).

Add the Make Compound Path icon back to the Properties panel
A couple years ago, there was an icon (below the pathfinder tools) that appeared in the properties panel when you had multiple items selected - Make Compound Path. A subsequent update removed that tool from the properties panel. Release compound path is still available right there in the properties when the selected object happens to be a compound path. Some people suggest just using the pathfinder Union to make a compound path, but it's definitely not the same thing as making a compound path (pathfinder union on non-connected items makes a group, not a true compound path - they're not the same thing).

Snap to bounding box of symbol
The bounding box of a symbol has anchorpoints. But these are not snappy, alas.
Please make those snap as any other anchor point.

Rasterize multiple objects to separate images at once
It would be great to select multiple objects and apply the rasterize settings to each of them as seperate images in one go.
currently i have to select each object and rasterize them individually. would save a lot of time if there was a checkbox that allowed you to apply it to all of the objects separately instead of rasterizing them together as one big image

Select "Replace" by default once a clipped linked element is selected
This is a very simple fix for something extremely frustrating: once a clipped linked image is selected (using the direct selection tool), the importing option should be to Replace the element by default (instead of having to manually select it EVERY SINGLE TIME). If nothing is selected, the logical default behavior then would have the Replace option unchecked.

Little display problem with GPU enabled
Hi, I bought an Imac 27" with 5K Retina display.
I noticed that when I zoom some vector shape, the lines are not too clean. They seem like bitmapped. When I click Command+Y (show outlines) and I click it again, the lines appear clean. I uploaded a little video about my problem.
I wrote in Adobe community, they suggested me to turn off GPU Performance. If i do that the images appears fine but Illustrator become too slow.
So they recommended me to report my issue here.
Thanks for your time.

Add 16px and 20px to the font-size drop down
With base rem being 16px, 16px has become the standard for readable text on a website. It would be good UX to have more base 4 standard font-sizes in the font-size select drop down.
7px, 9px, 11px and 21px are essentially useless to me but they have a seat in the dropdown, you could easily replace/swap a couple of them out for 16px and 20px. I don't know many designers, printers, or developers that use odd pixel sized fonts.

Make "Increase Diameter" and "Decrease Diameter" hotkeys work for Warp / Bloat / Wrinkle and other tools
Other tools (eg. 'Blob Brush Tool', Blob Brush Erasor Tool', etc.) take the default shortcuts for scale up and down. On my setup that's ] for increase size and [ for decrease size. Multiple tools share those keys, and that's great.
The Warp tool doesn't do this - you have to manually go into the tool preferences to change the scale. This breaks flow and wastes time.
The Warp Tool is a nice idea. It would be a very good tool - if it was fully implimented.
While we're at it, it could also be improved if it had an option to just deform pionts without adding or removing any (ie. without "simplifying" the path).

Error message – Wacom driver (since updated to version 25.0)
My old Wacom-Board Intuos 3 PTZ-631W still works pretty good and I never had trouble with it while using Adobe products until I updated to version 25.0 on October, 22nd. Yet I had several crashes. Unfortunately Wacom is not providing new drivers, so the recommended solution in the error message does not work.
Do you have any other idea or maybe you could solve this in the next version.2 votes -
App icons
Can you please update the icons for your apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.) to a new design and color scheme? I do NOT like the same colors for the icons that 2020/2021 versions use. I'm forced to find replacement icons for your apps. At least include some alternative icons for your products.
Thank you.2 votes -
