colored paper no transparent PNG
If I simulate colored paper for my canvas background I cannot export transparent PNGs anymore. This worked before just fine and I always used this technique to be able to work with white surfaces on a "invisible" colored background. When I link the Ai into Photoshop it ignores the background as it certainly should.
The weirdest part about it is, that the PNG always has white background (custom background is off) in the export window despite my colored paper being white at all! As soon as I deactivate colored paper simulation, the PNG can be exported transparent again.

Embedding illustrator files creates bigger artwork than original
I use a lot old (or not that old) artwork into some new client jobs (eg: a logo or a background for a new project for consistency purposes) and sometimes embedding prior illustrator files in illustrator creates bigger artwork than original. (when I mean bigger is size i'm talking about. eg.: a square in original file was 10x10mm and when embedded gets 13x13mm)
It happens only when embedding and the only workaround is using flatten transparency.
I still don't know what exactly triggers this issue as it happens with seemingly random files.

Diagrams pasted from Excel (Office 365 version) to Adobe Illustrator on Mac cannot show correct font of numbers and characters
It seems that the original versions of Excel (such as Office 2013 and 2016) do not have this problem. However, diagrams pasted from Excel to clipboard is correct. So there may be some problem in transferring diagrams from latest Excel version.

Export for Screen Window not closing after export
Hello, I am currently running a windows 8 and Adobe Illustrator 23.0.6
I tried to export multiple files to Creative Cloud Storage through the export to screens menu.
I expected the export to screens menu to close automatically after exporting the images.
However this resulted in the export to screens menu remaining on the screen and preventing me from clicking off it. Currently the only way to get rid of this menu is to close down the whole program and restart it.

SVG properties settings reset with software update
We use custom settings in the SVG properties window when we save images as SVGs. When I install an illustrator update, it wipes out my custom settings and replaces them with the default settings.

Saving switches a layer back on
When saving in Illustrator 2019 a layer that was switched off becomes visible again. Only a minor problem I guess, but is part of a growing list of things that don't work in the latest version.

No Response when saving/printing files
Every time I attempt to save a file in Illustrator or Photoshop the system (Windows 10) hangs and shows 'no response'. It clears itself after a couple of minutes and then works normally. It will hang like this while I am printing as well. Our Level 1 tech has not been able to find the problem and it is becoming frustrating when attempting to work on a project. I have uninstalled and re-installed the programs twice as well as reinstalling the operating system to no effect. I have also tried rolling back to an earlier version which also has no…

Relink error
Illustrator 2019 gives an error, more often than not, when re-linking a graphic.
It has always been a buggy application, but this version is ridiculous – it is so unusable that I am looking around for alternatives1 vote -
Imported eps fonts are wrong
Imported eps fonts are wrong in Illustrator CC 2019 (and also at all other previous versions)
OS - Windows 7 64bit
- I export a figure from Matlab with predefined font name (Arial) but Illustrator consistently opens it as Helvetika.
When the image is opened in Acrobat the font is actually Arial.
See the attached figure for the bug. The same image opened in actobat / illustrator.1 vote -
Bug in pasting of metafile data from clipboard
Illustrator misinterprets data from a image exported to the clipboard as metafile. It inverses color of certain parts of the image after paste.
This problem is occurring in Creative Cloud CC2018 and CC2019. It is a bug that has been present in many previous versions of the Adobe suite, at least since CS6.
Running Windows 10 pro 1903 (18362.239)

Illustrator is Saving files as a PDF by default.
Illustrator has been saving some of my large files as PDFs rather than Illustrator files (when I am just pressing Cmd+S) and the file is definitely not a PDF to begin with. This is frustrating because anything outside of the artboard is no longer in the file, the file must be opened as individual artworks, and all of the text is saved as individual letters in cases where text is typed along a path, or it's saved as individual words.
1 voteIllustrator recently has changed the way the file type is chosen in the Save and Export dialogs — now it’s sticky. While it’s fine for Export, it’s not exactly OK for Save, and here’s a report about this.
However, tt doesn’t makes the bug reported fixed, but it can certainly lead to the same result. If this problem ever happens again and you are sure you picked the proper file type 0- drop a comment.

"Recent files" shows the thumbnail of a password protected PDF file.
I expect to not see the thumbnail of a password protected file. Maybe just have a lock image like in the OS?

File Names Fail To Save with Fullstops
If a file name, entered in the New Document modal, has fullstops in the name in the beginning of the string, for example, a date " 19.07.11 Web Banner.ai " the user will find, when they go to save the file that the filename will not be saved as it was entered.
No characters after the 2nd full stop will be shown, forcing the user to type out the entire string again.

Error reading SVG 1.2 files
SVG files generated by Avid Sibelius (music notation software) display perfectly well in Chrome, Safari and Firefox but is very distorted in Illustrator. Line paths are too big.
If I open the file in the SVG online editor at https://editor.method.ac/. them save it (without editing anything), I can the open it in Illustrator with almost no problems.
I'm including a sample file. Open it in Illustrator and Chrome to compare.

Importing a page from a multi-page PDF replaces the already imported one
Hi!
Ever since Illustrator 23 when opening a PDF with multiple pages with a document already open, the PDF opens into that open document and changes the artboard. At the same time it also opens a new empty document with the name of the PDF. It does not matter if I use open from the menu or if I use drag and drop... When no other file is open it behaves like it should and opens the PDF correctly.
Please provide a solution...
thanks,
best regards,
Roger

Save for web values bug
This is a bug, not an idea. This affects Photoshop, too.
In the Save for Web dialog, when punching in new values, those values do not commit unless you manually select something else before hitting Save.
For example, if I punch in a different value under Image Size > Percent, I cannot just hit Enter or Tab then Enter and have it save at the percentage specified.
