Zoom to Selection Doesn't Work within Text
When I zoom in on Illustrator CC (21.1.0) it works great, zooming in on the object I have selected. The problem occurs when I have a bit of text within a larger textbox selected. When I zoom in, instead of centering around the object, it zooms in on the center of my screen, often putting the selected type out of sight.
(If I have the textbox itself selected, it's fine. It's just if I'm using the type tool to select and edit type.)

Illustrator will not start. Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly during the previous launch....Run Diagnostics or Launch Ilustrator
Illustrator was working fine for the last year on this computer and yesterday decided it did not want to start anymore. All other adobe products open just fine, except illustrator. I've been searching for the last hour for answers and nothing. What gives adobe.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, adobe cc cleaner, deleted prefs, and still keeps crashing.
Here's what happens:
1. Click on launch Illustor from Creative Cloud app. The Creative cloud app blinks for a second as if its trying to open illustrator but nothing.
2. Click on Launch again.

Illustrator won't open more than one file at a time.
I have version 21.1.0 (64 bit) running on Windows 10 (more system details in attached png). I am not able to open more than one file at a time. What happens:
- I open a file.
- I double click to open another AI file (other file opening methods have same results).
- Nothing happens. One file remains open. I might see the spinner mouse for a sec but the second file never opens.
- If I try to close the first file, leaving Illustrator open, and open a new file, Illustrator becomes unresponsive and I have to close it via the Task Manager.

No se puede abrir el archivo. "No es posible acceder al archivo con la cuenta que has iniciado sesión".
Eso dice al intentar abrir un archivo. Pero la cuenta con la que estoy intentando abrirlos es la misma cuenta con la que los creé. Eso no me pasaba hasta que se actualizó a la versión 30.3 el Illustrator. Necesito ayuda, por favor. No abrir absolutamente ningún archivo, en todos me aparece la misma leyenda: "No se puede abrir el archivo. No es posible acceder al archivo con la cuenta que has iniciado sesión. Ponte en contacto con el propietario para consultar más detalles." Pero yo soy la propietaria, ayuda por favor.

Rich tool tips keep popping up
Rich tool tips are always randomly opening and staying open something even when I am on other side of screen. Hard to take a screen shot, as when I click to screen shot the tool tips disappear. It's been happening on 2 different machines running Sonoma for about 1 year. Never used to happen.

Problem mit verknüpften Bildern in platzierten Illustrator-Dateien seit Update 30.2.1
Seit dem Update von Adobe Illustrator auf Version 30.2.1 tritt ein Problem im Umgang mit platzierten Verknüpfungen auf, das zuvor nicht vorhanden war.
Beschreibung des Problems:
Wenn in einer Illustrator-Datei ein Bild platziert und als Verknüpfung (nicht eingebettet) eingefügt wird und diese Illustrator-Datei anschließend wiederum in eine zweite Illustrator-Datei platziert oder eingebettet wird, erscheint das verknüpfte Bild aus der ersten Datei in der zweiten Datei nicht mehr.
Das Bildfeld bleibt leer, obwohl die Verknüpfung korrekt vorhanden ist.
Erwartetes Verhalten (wie in früheren Versionen):
In vorherigen Illustrator-Versionen wurden verknüpfte Bilder innerhalb einer platzierten .ai-Datei korrekt angezeigt, auch wenn diese Datei in…2 votes -

Whenever I make symbols for sock label logo, these symbols get randomly gets displaced and moved to another location on the art board by itself. the positioning is completely random and no logic. It's been like this since Illustrator 2025. what is going on???

Illustrator 2022 DOES NOT OPEN.
This new Illustrator update DOES NOT WORK. Just installed the new 2022 update yesterday 11/01, and it worked for half the day, and in the second half, the app refused to open. Tried again this morning 11/02, and there was a small update to Illustrator, so in hopes of fixing the issue from yesterday, I installed the update, and guess what, still broken. I reinstalled the past version of Illustrator, and that doesn't work now either. I'm not telling you how to do your job Adobe, but for me to do my job, I need Illustrator to work. If you…
2 votesThis is embarrassing and incredibly sad to hear. I can’t imagine to be cut off a my main tool when I need it.
I guess the only option you can try is to clean all the traces of previous versions installed with the Cleaner Tool (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html), install 2021 version and hope it work.
So sorry it happened, and I wish I could do more.
Please add votes to this if you experience the same issue, it will help to initiate a proper investigation. -
アセットの書き出しができない
Win10のイラレcc2021で、アセットの書き出しパネルに画像をドラッグしても読み込まず、何も登録されない。
普段であれば複数選択したものをドラッグするとその複数分読み込み登録されるのだが、まったく一つも読み込まない。
これは何も役に立たないクズ機能。仕事にならんし使えん。2 votesIllustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。
ドラッグ&ドロップでのアセット追加に関して、グループ化オブジェクトなどでの検証も行いましたが、問題は再現できませんでした。
最新版「ver.26.2.1」でも再現するような場合は、お手数をおかけいたしますがカスタマーサポートにご連ください。
よろしくお願いいたします。

Second line of type (point and area) is picking up the style of the first line when pasting plain text
New to 25.3.1 update, MacOS 11.4. When there are two lines in a point or area type object separated by a return, selecting the entire second line (formatted differently from the first line) and pasting in plain text (copied from a Finder filename) is now picking up the formatting from the first line instead of retaining the formatting from the existing line, as if there were an invisible return character from the first line, or as if it were a continuation of the first line. This is contrary to AI behavior since forever.

Shortcut keys not shown or working for items in Object menu and in other menus
Many but not all shortcut keys are not shown in the Object menu or operate as in previous version! This is a major setback for my type of work. Can't quickly Group/Ungroup, Zoom, UNDO, Copy, Paste, change stacking order, other functions. Browsing the menus shows only a few shortcut keys. Same in all workspaces. Please put them back as in the previous version!

Text becomes impossible to edit after several minutes of having the program open
Working on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and Illustrator 23.0.4.
After working in the program for a few minutes, transform controls no longer appear around text boxes when selected (show transform controls does not fix the issue). Text attributes are then buggy when applied (tracking will not apply to selected word, can't change font). Shortly after, I can no longer select text boxes at all.
I'm a graphic designer and this issue is hurting my productivity greatly. Please provide a solution!
