Frequent crash Illustrator 2019 23.1.1.
Crashes 4-8 times a day, just like that. Illustrator crashes even if you just walk away from the computer and do nothing. Then he just closes the program. Without notification. When opening the file again, he will only give a message that he has saved it as a 'recovered' file.

Randomly Freezes Ai 24.0.1 - Windows 10 Pro
I'm using Illustrator 24.0.1 - Randomly freezes, have to shut down using Task Manager. Also sometimes clicking on a shortcut, say to my symbols library, for example, doesn't open illustrator, struggles on some previews. The freezing issue was on the prev release too.

crashes consistently
Illustrator is crashing repeatedly with the latest update. I'm on a Mac with Mojave 10.14.5, my coworkers are on PC's and we're all crashing since the latest Illustrator update. No consistency to the tasks we are doing in ai to make it crash. Please fix!

Save for pdf changes from Master .ai file
When I am developing a drawing, I need on occasions to send a pdf version off to my customer. Saving as pdf means that any further work I carry out whilst the program is still open is performed on a pdf file rather than on my master .ai file.
To overcome this problem, it would be handy to be able to 'Export to PDF' so that the original..ai file remains on screen and I can carry on working rather than having to re-save as .ai file first

Opening WMF through Windows Command Line creates distortion
When opening a WMF in the latest 2020 AI via the Windows command line, e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2020\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe" 745-2969563.wmf
It opens the WMF, but it is distorted as in the attached wmf_distorted.png.
However, if you open a blank document and import it with File->Place, it renders it correctly
I appreciate any and all help.

Visual bug
A small visual bug that seemed to pop up in Illustrator 2020 after using the brush tool. There will be a circle that will appear on the artboard at random places depending on where you are zooming or panning around with the spacebar. You can quickly get rid of it by hitting "Ctrl"

Extra Drop down Item
Win10 Pro 64-bit | AI 2020cc
Just pointing out the extra "Object" item on the Select drop-down (see attached). It does nothing and does not seem to be causing an issue.
Also, I've noticed that when saving a file, it takes much longer than the previous version.
Thanks

Expanding compound path causes a shift in the object shape
If I call Expand on a compound path, there is a shift in the width and height of the object. This seems to only be a problem when the stroke is in the center. If the stroke is inside or outside, there isn't a problem.
2 votesIllustrator can display width and height values respecting the width of strokes and effects, if you enable Use Preview Bounds option in Preferences > General. It also makes bounding box larger to fit them visually, hence the change in dimensions.
When it’s off, only geometric shape is taken into account, ignoring stroke width or effects.
When you expand the shape, the stroke is not a stroke anymore, but a filled path, that makes the overall group geometrically larger. -
BUG: Can't open one EPS file, but can another in Illustrator
I have downloaded an EPS file from my email to do some edits on from another design team and it comes up with the error message,
"The file 'Worldmark.eps' is an unknown format and cannot be opened."
However, I can open other EPS files from my email as well as from my external drive and hard drive.

inutilisable
Plante en permanence à l'ouverture.
Préférences supprimées, ça recommence de la même manière :
à l'ouverture de l'appli puis à l'ouverture/création d'un nouveau document, la roue puis tous les menus deviennent grisés. On peut changer d'outil mais pas les utiliser.
Les panneaux de fonction sont actifs mais rien n'est possible.
L'appli n'est pas signalée bloquée par le système.Je n'ai pas accès aux bibliothèques, je pense qu'elles sont en cause.
Ce soft est de pire en pire.

Zooming
When in the preset zoom menu, some of the options have commas where they should have decimals. When I click on the 66,67% zoom option it actually zooms in 6667% when it should zoom in 66.67%. Also, in the title of the document, it shows the zoom percentage with a comma instead of a decimal point.

Object Selection by Path Only broken with symbols
In Preferences, under Selection and Anchor Display, check Object Selection by Path Only.
Create or open a document.
Drag a symbol out of the Symbol panel. Choose one with a large filled area.
Zoom in on the symbol.
With either of the 3 selection tools, drag over a filled part of the symbol. Do not drag over any paths.
It doesn't matter whether you're viewing in Outline or Preview.
The symbol becomes selected.
It should not become selected due to the prefs option noted above.
It worked correctly in v22 & CS6 etc. It's been close to a year with…1 vote
