Template files (.ait) use/show the Adobe Swach Exchange (.ase) icon in Windows Explorer
It's pretty much what the title says, .ait files show up in Explorer with the .ase icon. Everything works as expected though, double clicking it will open a new file in Illustrator, so this is purely a cosmetic issue.

Not Responding every time PDF saved
Every time I save my work as a PDF file my Illustrator freezes for up to 10 minutes at a time. This makes productivity EXTREMELY slow and frustrating!

When moving a vector with a radial gradient fill, the gradient shifts upon export of an SVG
Gradient appears to be centered in Illustrator, but shifts on export depending on where the vector is located on the artboard/pasteboard (outside the artboard). I have to manually update the SVG markup on all my exported icons. :(
2 votesA sample file would have helped. I applied radial gradient on a circle and exported it to SVG. The visual appearance was matched. There are some limitations in SVG 1.1 spec like absence of blending mode support that can affect.

create new
"Create new..." does not work on Win 10 latest CC 2018 update, new subscription, first time using Illustrator. I've seen Illy used by many people up close, it's not me - it's the Create New feature, it's broken from the File > menu, the full screen app convenience tile menu, and also CTRL+N. None of it progresses past the initial "what new file setup do you want". And yes, I pressed "Create" not cancel.
Very disappointed, I just paid for a year of this, greeeaaat.

SVG href property exports incorrectly
When illustrator exports SVGs, it sometimes will use the href property to reference something like an embedded image or gradient from the <defs>, which is reasonable. Docs for the href property here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/href
However, safari does not support
href
yet, and will completely drop the reference, making SVGs widely render incorrectly in safari, up to the latest version. In order to make them work properly, the deprecatedxlink:href
property must also be used, docs below:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href
All bases can be covered by including both the
href
andxlink:href
properties, until all modern browsers have fully adopted the SVG2 spec.1 voteIf you should see the issue still, please contact us via email sharewithai (at) adobe dot com.

Intermittently, Illustrator does NOT save the file.
Intermittently, when I save a file (using Ctrl-S or File > Save), the existing file is NOT saved. This has caused me to lose work.
The Illustrator UI thinks that the file has been saved - the File > Save option is greyed out. When I look in the file's location on disk, the existing file shows an older file date and time; the last time it saved successfully. There is a new file with the expected date and time and the extension "t".
I can do a "Save As" which works. I can make some trivial changes…

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

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.

Changing size in export doesn't change size
When exporting files via Save As, if I change the size, it doesn't update the actual export size until I do something else, like toggle the clip to artboard on and off or change from optimize for Art to for type. This has been a persistent error across versions of Illustrator and MacOS for some time.
Once you hit tab to leave that portion of the export dialogue, it should update without any additional steps.

Recent File Opens Up Blank Without My Saved Work
I recently saved a file/project I was working on. The next day when I went to go open the recently saved file it opened a blank page. None of the layers were shown, and the size was not right. I tried restarting my computer but still the same thing occurred. It was like the art I drew was not even there. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Sizes and coordinates get distorted in SVG export
Adobe Illustrator CC on Mac OS
I composed a graphic in Illustrator to use as a SVG Sprite in CSS. To make sure all my sprites render sharply I aligned my vectors to full pixel coordinates and sizes. Unfortunately those same coordinates end up on some slightly odd positions in the source of the exported SVG.
I used the "Export as..." function with Decimals set to 2.2 votesI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.
