An option to choose if the Artboard background color should be exported, for each format, including PNG
When exporting an artboard to PNG, I hope there is an option to follow the background color of the artboard itself. I thought the purpose of the new update is to be able to use that same background color when exporting. I still need to add a shape with the background color that I prefer before exporting.

Calculate surface area with Dimension tool
With the last update, you brought the possibility of customizing the scale in the dimension tools, thank you for that. Would it be possible to obtain a new tool for calculating the surface area in m², by selecting any closed shape?
5 votesThe team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.
If you are willing to discuss area calculation in a call session, block a time slot here: https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c1b7ecea1cbd42a2a7068cfeb7861bdd@adobe.com/meetingtype/Fn8tXNebh0eyv4xTnvQ-3Q2?anonymous&ep=mlink

SVG import/export destroys details for SVG-files generated by Inkscape
Whenever I open a SVG-file in Illustrator that was generated by Inkscape, very frequently details are destroyed. A message appears stating that "round-way to tiny" may have exactly done this.
This bug makes it impossible to collaboratively work on figures with colleagues that do not use Illustrator, but Inkscape instead.I am using Illustrator CC 22.1.

Locked files on SMB shares (macOS)
There is a weird file-locking problem when files are opened and saved from/to smb volumes mounted on macOS. If files are saved and closed there is still a locking on the files. So colegues are not able to delete/replace this files. There is no problem if the afp-protocol is used. For this reason we had to disable smb-sharing on our server, because macOS uses smb as default if available. (Illustrator 21.1.0 - but at least from version 19 on)

Thumbnails in Layers always show full previews even when outline mode for the layer is toggled
This is relatively new within recent Ai upgrades.
Can we please revert back to preview mode ONLY for layer thumbnails regardless of how we view the layer on the artboard. This was changed recently. Why? If you choose to make changes like this, please make it an optional preference, as long time users probably don't like these changes.

Area and perimeter information on every selected object
Area and perimeter information on every selected object.
It was available on CS3 version for exemple and it was very helpful for us architects.
The window was called CAD tracker and the geometry part was super practical.
Please, include it in the new version !!3 votesThe team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.

Korean text can't wrap cleanly at syllable boundaries
In InDesign, Korean text can wrap cleanly at syllable boundaries, but in Illustrator and Photoshop it still can’t. We’re simply asking for the same “syllable‑by‑syllable” line‑break option that InDesign already has. Who on earth wants to type Korean like “인‑디‑자‑인‑처‑럼,” with every syllable forced onto its own line? We just need consistent letter‑spacing and neat line breaks.
Korean users have been requesting this for more than ten years. Adobe, please—could you finally make it happen?
2 votesThe team is working on this, but it’d take some time for this change to land into all apps

線の塗りを設定しているオブジェクトがマスクされてしまう
macOS14.7.2
Illustrator29以降にアップデートしてから現れたバグです。（現在29.2.1）線の塗りを有効にしているオブジェクトを下位バージョンへコピー＆ペーストするとマスクされた状態になってしまいます。マスクを解除すれば戻りますが、オブジェクトが複数あるものはグループが解除されてしまいます。

dropbox syncing
When I open/save through the native Illustrator dialogue boxes, files that I have in my dropbox folders begin to download for no reason. I use SmartSync to keep my HD space optimized and this little glitch makes that impossible.
