Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 for mac crashes when opening file
My idea is for Adobe to actually fix the problem; I've followed every linked fix to the letter and Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 for mac will open normally. But, when I try to open any file, I get the spinning pinwheel of death and have to Force Quit (Not Responding). Please provide an actual fix. Thanks

Transform grayed out
Very frequently (might be even 50 percent of the time) when I select an object the "Transform" and "Arrange" options in the "Object" menu (as well as the associated keystrokes) are grayed out as unavailable. When I deselect the menu and then select the menu again the "Transform" and "Arrange" options have magically become available. Selecting the menu a second time always "fixes" this.

Selection marquee is difficult to see when transparency grid is enabled
With the transparency grid enabled, when selecting objects with the selection tool by dragging the cursor, the marquee line for the selection is difficult to see. In the attached image, the selection marquee line can be barely seen (thin dashed line) on top of the black paths but not on top of the grid.

Clicking on swatch in PMS Color panel jumps down to list
So I am using a pantone color swatch book panel in Illustrator and I'll be at the top of the list and I'll click on a swatch color to change a shape's color and for some reason when I click on the swatch, it will jump down near the bottom or middle of the list so I'll have to scroll back up and click on the swatch again. It get's really tedious especially when I have to change a lot of colors or I have to go and search for a while for the pantone color again.

Type object selection by path
Type object selection by path does not work at all while snap to grid is enabled.
It's been this way for years... guess I've finally had enough.

Rendering Issue When Not Using Application Frame
When the Application Frame is turned off and a file is opened it does not render correctly. Instead broken sections of the screen appear. It's different each time. In order for the file to render the Application Frame must be turned on. It can then be turned back off if the user prefers not to work in the Application Frame. I have attached a screen grab of one of the files opened with the Application Frame turned off.

Pen Tool preview disappears
After using Illustrator for a period of time - say, 15-20 minutes - the pen tool preview ("Rubber Band") stops appearing on screen, even though it is still activated in the preferences. Restarting Illustrator restores it, until it disappears again. And over and over again. This happens on multiple PCs, multiple configurations, multiple versions of Illustrator.

Unable to apply gradient along or across a stroke
Trying to make a cylindrical/tubular structure with form.
In gradient window, when selecting to apply the gradient either within, along or across the stroke, one gets the same result. A vertically oriented gradient which has nothing to do with the stroke. Quite frustrating. even if one changes the orientation, it does absolutely nothing.
This is the reason why I upgraded. What a disappointment! And I see from the web that I'm not alone.

svg not opening correctly in Illustrator CC
When opening a .svg file Illustrator (creative cloud 2018) is opening a blank canvas. However a co-worker who is working off a previous version of illustrator (2015 I think) is able to open the file correctly.

When using save for web option, the image size percentage is not changing even when a new number is put in there. It is only saving as 100%. Sometimes it allows me to increase the percentage, but more times then less it saves as 100% no matter what number I type in there. I am using the creative cloud version.

Flickering cursor icon and Unresponsiveness (High Sierra 10.13.4)
Got a new Mac running 10.13.4, installed adobe CC completely fresh. Illustrator is very slow, often comes to a complete stall / irresponsive, and I have to constantly restart the application. And even after the restart, it is still very slow. I turned off everything, including the GPU performance and other things it didn't help at all. The cursor flickers for several tools. It has become very unuseable and drag the time I normally would be able to finish a project by 2x at least.

Eyedropper tool doing whatever it wants
For example. when using alt click (as for copying the style of what I have selected to another thing. It DELETES ALL STYLE from the thing I'm clicking on. When I click normally it just copies color (sometimes) and even though I have everything checked in the eyedropper tool setting. It just copies just color.
This is making me wast a lot of time
I already updated the software AND also did a fresh reinstall, even deleting settings. Didn't work.2 votes -
Applying a new graphic style duplicates paths into hidden groups when exported into SVG
This is a severe bug that ruins SVG export by creating multiple copies of the same paths after switching graphic styles.
I believe something caused a created graphic style that should have only had a simple fill to create copies of the path when applied to paths.

Importing Multiple Page PDF
When importing multiple page PDFs the sizing changes when you embed to work on the files. It is a small change but a change nonetheless. i.e. my 1.4" became 1.5". Something that you will not notice until it's too late. Importing single pages has no problems.
