  1. "Don't show again" check box

    "Don't show again" apparently means show every d*mn time.

    Checking the box never works. Why?

    And why does the pop-up that wants to give you the Adobe Illustrator tour show up every time I restart the program? I've used this program 20 years. I don't want to take the freakin' tour. Ever.

    Fix your sh*tty program and make it as good as it was before CC.

  2. Random bug of unselected object frame, from locked layer, visible even though not selected

    Only way to remove the frame is to shut the file down and then reopen. Unable to take a screen shot as the frame disappears when taking it.

    Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
    Illustrator CC 2020 24.1.2

  3. Can't see things I just did.

    When I move an object or make a change to my file it doesn't show up until I click in the document. Then, the object shows up in the new location. I have to restart the program and it works for a few minutes, then happens again. Really frustrating. I am on a new computer with the current version of Illustrator. It happened in older versions on my older computer as well.

  6. CSS Properties: Generated CSS selectors are wrong sometimes

    Hi.
    OS: Windows 10 x64
    Illustrator: 24.1.2 and older versions

    Steps:
    I have drawn two paths (shapes) on the same layer.
    I have given these names:
    abc1 and abc11 to each path

    When I select one of them, the generated css in CSS properties panel is ok, the selector's name is right. The issue happens just when I select both paths at the same time and try to generate the CSS.

    The selector name for abc11, is changed wrongly to abc111 (an extra 1 at the end).

    Expected result:
    .abc1
    {
    position : absolute ;
    left : 120px;
    top :…

  10. ショートカットキーが反応しなくなる

    Adobe XDと同時に起動し、アプリケーションの切り替えを行っているとillustratorのショートカットキーがすべて反応しなくなることがあります。
    illustratorの再起動でショートカットキーは使用可能になりますが、再度XDとの切り替えを行うと同様の症状が発生します。

  12. The document "annoyingbug.ai" is currently getting saved. Try again after the process is complete.

    "The document "annoyingbug.ai" is currently getting saved. Try again after the process is complete." This pops up when you use save as while there is a save currently going on.

    This dialog box was removed when closing the document in 24.1.1. Can we also get it removed when using save as?

    Would be nice if the save as started once the current save is done like in previous versions.

    Thanks,
    Josh

  14. artboard blinkins when open multiple files

    I've noticed that when you select few / many files (.svg) and drag & drop to illustrator icon on doc (mac) - I mean you open it, Illustrator starts to open the files and artboard starts blinking very fast (black / white).
    It is very dangerous for people with epilepsy

  15. missing instances

    I've been working with a png logo and have been copy-pasting it in numerous layers and artboards of my work.

    My AI crashed, so I closed it via task manager. When I restarted AI, my png logo is gone from all the artboards. I can see that there's an "instance" of it (a black square", but the logo isnt registering. Tried to export, and it came out with an artwork without the logo.

    File 08 are the blanks after the crash
    File 10 has the logo that went missing.

  16. Survey Request

    The annoying prompt to take the survey cannot be turned off. Even on completing it I am still prompted to take it - when you do its recognized you've already taken this. This survey prompt should be disabled at least when it's been taken once.

  18. Crashing, can't open

  20. Clipboard not working properly

    When copying and pasting in Illustrator, the properties of the object/text etc are not carried over. The only way it seems to work is if you copy the item several times, which is getting tiresome and not practical if using the 'cut' option.

    For example, if I copy and paste anything on 1 artboard, and try to paste in the exact same spot on another artboard (using Paste in place or paste in front/back) it doesn't paste in the same place. Also when copying text it doesn't copy over all the properties (size, font, colour etc). Even when copying objects…
