  1. Transform tool not scaling proportionately.

    Version CC 23
    OSX High Sierra 10.13.6
    When entering values into the transform palette to scale a group containing objects with a guassian blur or feather effect, the result is not proportional as intended. The group gets squashed a bit. When the objects with the effects are removed the group will scale proportionately.

  2. Crash on "Missing Font" screen

    Illustrator app will become unresponsive or non-functional at all, when there's a missing font window. and the missing font window is just blank, without anything. The only option is to go to my Windows task manager and close it by forcing quitting. This is latest version of Illustrator x86 app for Windows 10.

  3. Workspace on start up gathers to home screen instead of second screen!

    Saved custom Workspace on start up gathers to home screen instead of second screen! This has only happened since the release of Illustrator 2019 - which has been the buggiest illustrator I've dealt with - horrible results to simple functionality that has never had problems in the past. very disappointed.

  4. Fonts issue

    Illustrator often hangs on large documents. The same document outlined opens fast with no issues. There is something going on with fonts in 23.0.1 - Photoshop also has problems with fonts. I'm on a Windows 10 Pro.

  6. Batch exporting ai>psd does not work in latest Illustrator update.

    Batch exporting does not work in latest update. The images appear to process, and as each image is processed, there is a message that a photoshop file is being created. However, the end result files are the same ai files that I began with. Using Mac OS 10.14.

    Illustrator 23.0.1 Windows 10

    Points and handles of gradient meshes sometimes disappear if i draw a another object, like a rectangle, near or over them.

    Points stay selectable but are not highlighted. If I move them with the Keyboard, they reappear!

  8. When I export as png, application crashes

    Adobe version: 22.1, OS: Windows 10 (the adobe application is on a virtual desktop for security reasons.)

    From the last 2 weeks, I have not been able to export to png. This was never an issue until recently. I get a prompt for export for multiple screens. I've tried exporting it in multiple dpi (72, 192, and 300). This also crashes. I've tried choosing a single asset and exporting selection. This also results in a crash.

    Please help me find a solution.

    Thanks,
    Lubna.

  9. Pantone + color book will not consistently "sort by name"

    I keep the Pantone+ Solid Coated book open always, but every time I reopen the program it reverts back to "sort by kind" instead of the "sort by name" I keep choosing and is my preference.

  16. Illustrator issues, SVG only?

    When using CC (updated to v. 23), illustrations appear distorted when rendered with stylesheet. During troubleshooting, I open a colleague's SVG illustration in CS6 as well as CC v.23 and compare. See attachments. CC distorts both content size and artboard size. We never had this issue with CS.

    I updated a paragraph style I've been using since the last version. So when I save the document it reverts some of the paragraphs to the previous paragraph style.

  20. Problems with 2019 Adobe CC Illustrator when upgrading to the Mojave OS system

    I had difficulty closing the window that jumped around a lot plus the Illustrator program often closed unexpectedly. The Illustrator document I worked on often would freeze, making it impossible to change or update it.
    The Adobe tech. downgraded my Illustrator CC program to 2018 it works once again. Please let me know when the 2019 bug is gone. Thanks
