resize does not respect the homothety #2
I already had a big problem with this 2019 version of illustrator and the ungrateful homothety (see BUG "resize does not respect the homothety") but I discovered that the application is really worse than I thought.
Look even worse when there is a blur effect on a shape. The application does anything, the numbers are completely crazy !!!! Impossible to work. Impossible with a PRO application !!!1 vote -

CMYK separations
I'd love to be able to save/export a file into 4 separate files of CMYK. I know you can print separations but I'd like to be able to save the separations as separate files. It would be a lot easier then to reprint film for the printing press etc

Masking simple and fast objects - Quo Vadis My Pallete?
Masking simple and fast objects - Quo Vadis My Pallete?
Illustrator has several practical methods for masking objects. Bravo and thank you!But in practice...
object masking is superimposed and confusing. I know what I write. I use Illustrator 20 years at work and iine applications.On the forum you can also find many problems or ideas to improve this section. Dear Adobe team, you can certainly improve it.
Best Regards!

Better Colour Separations
Illustrator does not print all Photoshop DCS (.eps) colour separations since CS6. It always returns a blank plate.
As a Screen printer, it would be nice to have seamless colour separations for my RIP.1 vote -
Interaction in graphic styles, with several inputs
Graphic styles is only something you apply. I would like some interactions possibilities with the graphic styles, so that you for example could get an interactions panel that told you what kind of interactions you could do (insert photo/graphic/text etc). And that when you clicked on each possible interaction in the panel, then a pin, marked box or something would highlight in the graphic where the input would take place. Like many web images have, with hot spots. Would be one way to do it. The important thing is not how it is done, but that you get to have more interaction with graphic styles, and several input possibilities under one graphic style via appearance.

Relative placement shapes in appearance panel
When you use shapes in appearance panel and save to reuse, then the look you get is depending on the text you type in as these shapes move in relation to the text. If I want to have a square that does not move with the text but at the beginning of text, no matter how long text, then that is impossible. Would be great with more options and fix regarding all this with shapes in appearance panel.

appearance fill shape options rectangle - set percentage also (instead of points)
Hi! In Appearance fill "shape options" where one can set background rectangle. It would be good if you could set percentage values and not only points. Because it limits the use. Then the look depend on how big your artwork is. It is a difference to have 10 point margin to a square 100 point rectangle compared to 1000 point rectangle. So please add that possibility. Thanks!

automatic trapping plug-in would be a great step forward.
An automatic trapping feature, or a plug-in to that effect, would be of great convenience when submitting files for output.

For Illustrator CC 2019, sometimes when I open a document, it says it's open but it's not visible. Only the chrome is.
This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

The way tool panels get customized was changed since the report, and it’s no longer possible to accidentally drag-n-drop tool without enabling the editing mode. If this still happens for you, please comment.

Another way to colorize our illustrations.
As we all know, Adobe Flash is no longer part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. But there is one very useful feature of Flash that should be part of Adobe Illustrator and that is the way that we where able to colorize vectors on Flash.
With Illustrator we can put a color inside an object, but if i want to put some colours into a surface between some handdrawned vectors that crosses I can't do it.Even the way that we were able to select a part of a vector when they crossed each other.
Those were very practical ways to edit a illustration and should not be discharged and forgotten with Adobe Flash.

Opening Last opened/recent documents
Problems opening Last opened/recent documents in Adobe Illustrator
I teach Adobe Illustrator to around 60 16 year olds.
When they first open the program & either double click on the image of their last document it often won't open. In fact it often opens another recent file, but not the one they actually have clicked on. The only way round I have found to get up their work is to >window & turn Application Frame off? This is far from ideal & I don't understand why it's suddenly started happening......
As you can imagine the 16 year olds find this confusing as one would assume double-clicking on an image of their document would open it.I've noticed more & more weird glitches with Illustrator in the last year. Are you now implying old Microsoft coding geeks to complicate things????
Don't even get me started on the new tool bar shinanikins........

Give Illustrator the same functionality panel of Data Merge of Indesign. Works better and supports Data Tabbed exported from Excel.

uninstall
how about making uninstalling this app normal like the rest of the software builders? You guys made a 5 minutes uninstall a ******** 2 hour task for me forcing to update creative cloud, creating an account so I can login to remove illustrator. I remember this next time I decide to download an adobe software.

Illustrator CC 2019 (oct) NOT as default program for file extension .doc
Just upgraded to Creative Cloud 4.7.0.400, from 24.09.2018 on Windows 8.
Weirdly my E-Mail client suddenly opens .doc-files in Illustrator CC. I checked Windows 8's default program setting for file extension .doc ... it's still set to "Word". The E-Mail client (Opera Mail) is pretty slim and itself has no way of setting file extension behaviours - it's depending on the systems settings.
The Bridge's file extension dialog in Bridge settings does not list .DOC files, so it's not set to illustrator there either.
However if i go into windows file extension settings again, highlight .doc and click "edit program" to take a closer look, THERE are TWO entries in "recommended program" to open .doc files with... Word and Illustrator CC. How come?
My e-mail client seems to take whatever first program is set as "recommended program" to open doc-files with.
This is bad, since i have no way of removing this setting in windows settings.
How come creative cloud thinks it would be a good choice to open .DOC files with?Thanks and best regards,
