Unable to activate fonts because "Not signed in" even though I am signed in!
I am trying to open an Illustrator file that has two fonts which are not installed on my computer.
When I open the file, a dialog comes up and I click the "Find Fonts" button. However, it gives me an error saying that I am not signed in (see attachment "not signed in").
I am not able to click the Help menu option because the Find Font dialog window does not allow me to focus on the main window.
When I close the Find Font dialog, I check the help menu to discover that I am, in fact signed in!…

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,

Changed placed item outside of illustrator does not mark the AI Document as changed...
If I have an illustrator document open that has a linked placed item within it, and the document has just been save, and I modify and save the placed item outside of illustrator - AI prompts me that the item has changed and asks if I was to update the placed artwork. If I select YES, the artwork is updated but the AI document is not internally marked as changed - e.g. I can close the file and it will not prompt me to save.

Hi,
This problem has persisted for a long time. On the image I have attached you can see that there is a vertical white line to left of the red square. When exporting the white line is still there – the only way to avoid it is to have the graphics stretched beyond the artboard before exporting.
Why has this never been fixed??

illustrator wont open file windows
I have searched the support site and user voice with no results.
When I attempt to drag an *.ai file from the explorer window to Illustrator, or when I double click the file, it does not open. When I double click the file, Illustrator opens or switches to the window, my cursor briefly shows the 'thinking' animation but nothing happens.
- There is no freeze or crash
- Restart of the application did not fix the issue.
- File>>Open is the only way I can open files
- This happens to all files whether created with CC 2019 or earlier versions

Export as SVG: linked image gets deleted
Hi All,
I have an issue when exporting to SVG.
I created an AI file with a linked jpg image as a background, and some text on top.
When I export to SVG, the original jpg image gets deleted (I mean the original file, it disappears from Finder, it's not even in the recycle bin) and then Illustrator gives me the message "Some files are missing or modified in the links panel. Would you like to update them now?".
