Application crash when copy/pasting SVG paths
I have several logos that were created in Inkscape and saved in SVG format that I now need to edit in Illustrator. However even after re-saving them as AI files, any attempt to copy/paste any part of the SVG paths from the logo results in an immediate application crash.
Adobe Illustrator CC (latest) Windows 10 64bit
Steps:
1. Open the attached AI file (which was converted from SVG by opening then saving in Illustrator).
2. Select any part of the logo.
3. Copy using Edit -> Copy or CTRL+C
4. Paste using Edit -> Paste or CTRL+V
5. The application…2 votesPlease get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels.

Crashes on "Cancel" in Keyboard Shortcuts Window
- Illustrator CC 2017 (21.1.0)
- Pressed "Cancel" in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.
- Expected Keyboard Shortcuts window to close without saving changes.

No plugins installed.
Removing preferences resolves the bug, but something in the process of re-setting my preferences makes the bug return.

Illustrator stops working and closes
This is simple enough, and I'm sure I'm not the only one this happens to, but this has been happening for years, every time I get started I do about an hour of work then its complains it has stopped working and closes! No save option, no autosave, no back up, nothing!
A very simple way to fix this, have an autosave!

update
Come on now! I am in AI and open a file to work on when a popup appears telling me that a new version of AI is available. However, when the update 'button' is selected nothing happens! There used to be a check for updates under Help yet that does not exist anymore. When it did exist it worked. So what is gong on now? More frustration with AI!

Possible Bug - Crop Image Auto Resizing Crop Box in New CC Illustrator 2019
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just a poorly executed new feature, but in the new Illustrator CC 2019 when you have a raster image in the file and you go to "Crop Image" the crop marquee automatically changes to a random size and shape instead of remaining at the edges of the image. I'm not sure if there is some hidden feature where it is trying to automatically detect where you might crop the image to by detecting the image edges, but this is super annoying when you are trying to do something like just adjusting…
2 votesYou are referring to the content aware crop feature: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html#ContentAwareCrop
To turn this feature off please visit the Preference dialog (CMD+K) and turn off “Enable Content Aware defaults”
If I may suggest a workflow for you.
1. Use linked images, they not only are fast but also save disk space.
2. If you already have embedded images in your file, please use the unembed feature of Illustrator to export and link files automatically for you.
3. All linked images have this feature of Edit Original where you can edit images in a software of your choice like Photoshop.
4. If you have to share files to other users please make use of File menu>Package feature to collect everything including linked images and fonts in one directory. -
Image won't move.
I am trying to move an image, but when I do it it opens up the multiselection tool.

Uniting shapes has unexpected result
Came across a weird file/result that co-workers were able to replicate.
1) Mojave 10.14.1 and Illustrator 23.0.1
2) Selecting two shapes/pathfinder window/unite
3) Letter p remaining knocked out
4) Letter p featuring a slash across the top
5) I've attached the file before uniting with pathfinderI was able to workaround by simply not uniting but thought ya'll might be interested. Thanks!

Crash Reporter has UX issues
Crash Repoert text field does not allow cursor movement by arrow keys or pos1, end,...
Email format validation is wrong, as it does not allow hyphens.
Check email format on exiting the field, not on submit.Just build a good way to report bugs with a good UX.

When I try to update Illustrator, I get a message that there is a conflict. It tells me to close Illustrator and press the "Continue" button. However, when I close Illustrator, the update dialog box closes too. Confused!

FIX ILLUSTRATOR 2019
Mac ios High Sierra on iMac 21.5, AI 2019, working on simple packaging mechanical files, sometimes when saving I get a message that it cannot process. I either lose all my work, or several files have been translated into black and white and look like architectural drawings. I have trouble creating new swatches. When I duplicated a swatch, when I changed color of copy, color of original changed. Why is there no step and repeat? Please stop releasing versions of this software before it is bug-free. Most versions don't even have noticeable upgrades, others have annoying upgrades. After using software…

2019 update. Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
1 voteIllustrator provides two tool panels now: Basic (chosen by default) and Advanced (with all the tools, including plugin ones). This change was made to make Illustrator less clumped form the beginning and ease the learning process. You can read more about this here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html
You can also access all the tools from the 'drawer' menu, by clicking the button with three dots at the bottom of any toolbar.
As always, Ai doesn’t care much about our settings, and this time they forced this changes for everyone, not explaining the change directly in-app. Hope this gets improved.

CC2019 Offset Path stuck in Inches
Offset Path seems to be stuck in Inches in 23.0. I have the preferences all set to "points", yet when I try to use Offset Path, it's still displaying the offset amount in inches. This didn't happen until the upgrade to 23.0.
