Not sure but it's happening
Adobe Illustrator 24.2 64-bit
Windows 10 HomeSo I thought it was my corsair scimitar pro was the problem, but outside adobe, my mouse seems to work fine.
the issue is, when I work in illustrator, my mouse acts like I released my left mouse button. So for example, when I'm making a rectangle, it sometimes randomly stops making the rectangle like I release my button. Or when dragging it releases.. anybody having this issue?

Illustrator Window Disappears When Changing Screen Focus
When I switch focus from my center screen where illustrator 2020 is, on my mac mini running Catalina 10.15.3 on three LG monitors, to the screen to my left, Illustrator vanishes.
It's not minimized, it's just gone, I have to click on the icon in the taskbar to pull it back up. It looks like it's there in Mission Control, but if I click on it, it just goes back to being invisible/unclickable.
This is a pain when I'm cross referencing. If I click the icon to get it back, it'll stay there if I don't click into it, and…

Snap to point not working and please allow files to reopen after crash/restart/reopen
Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, Illustrator 24.2
Selection points no longer seem to appear on hover and snap to point isn't working even if I quit the app and restart.
This is getting kind of ridiculous - trying to work is frustrating if you need to be precise with something.
Also... please please Adobe - why is it almost every other company has managed to give us the option to reopen after quit with the same files open but you still haven't?? Today Creative Cloud told me I had 7 updates available and I thought, ok great, maybe just maybe…

Objects deselect on copy or paste (Illustrator 2019)
This is a bug, not an idea.
Sometimes when copying an object or pasting, the copied or pasted object does not remain selected.
This is far less than ideal, especially when using Paste in Front.
Happens in Illustrator 2019 / OSX Catalina

Reveal in Bridge not working
At first, I was trying to 'Reveal in Bridge'. Bridge would open but wouldn't navigate to my link.
So I updated to the latest version of Illustrator CC (I was one version behind) and now the 'Reveal in Bridge' option is greyed out.
How about a nice 'Reveal in Finder/Explorer' option that we'd all prefer?

Redo simply freeze my display. I've Illustrator 24.2 in Win10 Home. I put my laptop on sleep. And then I put it on. Working again.
I performed multiple redo operations. and the screen just froze. I click buttons, tap mouse but nothing. Then I put my laptop on sleep. When I awaken the laptop it was in some other window, like the input were processed but only my display it was not working. Please resolve soon.

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,

Illustrator Keeps Crashing
Illustrator crashes every time I use it. I could be drawing for two minutes and it will crash out of nowhere. It often lags as well. I have the newest update and have tried uninstalling and installing it and still it continues to crash. I am using Windows 10 Pro with illustrator.

Latest version takes a long time to open and save files often 5 minutes or more for a simple file this is not acceptable.
latest version of illustrator is taking forever to save or open files often more than 5 minutes for a simple file, this is not a network issue as it does the same even to desktop. this is not acceptable and needs fixing very quickly

Stroke smaller than 1pt creating spikes/anomalies on the curve
Illustrator 2020 24.0.3
macOS Catalina 10.15.2Need hairline stroke (.003pt) for one of my machines. When I outline Helvetica (Type>Create Outlines), and change the stroke to anything smaller than 1pt, the curves of the font blow out and create spikes. I've been using the same method for several years and this had only just now become an issue.
Tried other fonts and only seems to happen on curves. If I try to use the file anyway and my machine does not recognize the file as having any data in it.

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.

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.

Copy Paste Causes Illustrator to Crash Repeatedly
Illustrator crashes before I can Paste a Copy for SPOT UV in Artboard in two ways.
1. CTRL C causes immediate crash.
2. Select Copy from drop down menu also causes crash.
Performed Windows 10 update few hours before crashing started to occur but unsure if Illustrator was included. Creative Cloud shows I'm up to date but doesn't specify the actual date. So, I cant say for sure if the update is causing the problem.HP Spectre x360 Convertable

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…
