Illustrator 2020 doesn't allow me to CREATE A NEW FILE!
I need to open an existing and save as. It only is letting me download pre-saved templates. C'mon - that's not a bug - that's a fatality. And even if I'm reading the popup wrong, why make it so difficult? Switching over to Sketch...

Auto recovery settings keep changing on their own
My creative director and I are both having an issue where our auto recovery settings are resetting themselves. We don't notice (obviously) until a crash, and then reopen to find NO RECOVERED FILES, check our file handling settings, and the autosave option is unclicked. Again. As workers who use illustrator daily, we would never purposely unclick this. I just lost a file yet again.

Issues with using Assets Export in Isolation mode
If you enter the isolation mode of any objects and try to export any artboard by using Assets Export, it will eventually generate the wrong assets. However, if you exit the Isolation mode and try again to the same process, it will be all fine.

svg repeated symbols are invisible
When attached svg is opened in Adobe Illustrator 2020 - second usages of glyphs (B, 2, 0) are not displayed properly like in attached screenshot.
Is this an issue with original svg (it looks fine in Chrome or Firefox) or Illustrator?1 vote -

Save as .ai can be interrupted by another save
If you are working on a new document, or opened an EPS or PDF, hit save as .ai and it does the background save, if you dont wait or dont realize it isnt finished, and try to save as PDF by way of example, the first save will not complete (ever) and this may result in a loss of data. Very reproducible

Background Save does not work
Background Save does not work in Illustrator unless very specific conditions are met (must be a PDF-compatible AI file). Many users prefer to work with PDF switched off - and background save should also work when saving the file as a PDF document. It's basically a half-finished feature and should work under all circumstances and conditions.

I lost 5 hours worth of my illustrator work
I was trying to open a file that I used to work on 30 minutes each day until I had some other work and stopped working on Illustrator for a week. After a week when I tried to reopen the file, it shows me this error message (attached an image file) and opens a blank file instead. All my work is lost.

Save as SVG destroys <path>
Attached is a very simple SVG drawing (rendered by MathJax) of a path representing the letter k (in math mode). It loads and renders fine in AI 24.2.3 on WIndows 10. But when I save it, I get the second attached file, which also has a path but a very different-looking one (unrecognizable). Presumably a bug in the SVG export engine?

Opening Already Open File Overrides Changes without Warning
When working on a file in AI, if you attempt to open the same file from the file explorer on Windows, any changes in the AI file are removed without warning, resulting in work being lost.

svg export fails to export image
for the current version of AI (24.3).
When exporting a svg via save-as with an artboard, images part of the canvas are not preserved, or exported, or linked. The resulting svg preserves the vector data, but anything related to the raster graphics is missing.
this behavior seems to be inconsistent, as sometimes masked images do export, while other times they do not.

Illustrator not deleting .tmp files after upgrades to Catalina
We've recently started upgrading our users to Catalina, and since then multiple people have reported Illustrator is creating .tmp files that can't be deleted. We've turned off Save in Background, Export in Background, optimize saving for slow networks, and Saving Cloud documents. The issue seems to be intermittent, we haven't been able to find a pattern.
When it makes these files, they can't be deleted in Finder.

"Save a Copy" retains the first file name of first save and add's multiple "copy"
event after multiple "Save as" with different file names Illustrator will "Save a Copy" with a name of a first save and add's bunch of "copy". After several saves file looks like this "Business Card 1 copy copy copy copy copy copy copy" even after "Saving as" and working in a file named "Business Card 7"

Save for Displays: SVG export is extremly slow on Windows
I do have a file with around 100 artboards with simple icons that need to be exported to SVG.
This process is extremly slow on Windows on a decent machine. Every SVG takes about 3sec to save. CPU usage shown AI is running only on Core #2. The same file exports in seconds on my 8 years old Mac.

Saving, Opening, & creating files Not Responsive with Unstable Internet Connection
Illustrator saving, creating files, and opening files seems to be tied to an internet connection, and it really fails if the connection isn't strong/stable. And this was only an issue with Illustrator (found with 24.2.3 & 24.2.0) with Photoshop and Indesign continued to function normally.
For two weeks I began experiencing very slow saving, it being "not responsive" for about 10 minutes to save any file. I eventually found it was tied to my internet connection. I recently switched my home network to data from a mobile hotspot which works find but isn't always stable. So the saving issue wasn't…
