paste remembers layers doesn't work if original layer is hidden
Steps:
create object on layer.
Copy object.
Hide layer
create new layer
paste object with new layer selected.It will warn you that the layer you're attempting to paste onto is hidden. But....no it's not. I have the "paste remembers layers" checkbox turned off.
This is either a bug, or someone should stick close to someone who actually understands user expectations.

Autosave disables itself
Windows 10, AI CC (latest release)
Autosave disables itself. When AI crashes - as it does - I get nothing.
I set auto-save for every 2 minutes in preferences. Then, after Illustrator crashes, I go back in to preferences to find it has unchecked that option. Nothing. I lose a load of work.
There are no expletives for how I feel about this. PLEASE sort it out?

Transparency in indexed images is not supported by Illustrator
If you place an indexed image (linked or embedded, it doesn't matter) that has transparency, the transparency is always drawn as white.
Workaround:
If you convert the image to RGB and re-place; transparency is rendered properly. The main problem is that many users will not be aware of the difference between indexed colour images and the alternatives.3 votes -

tab
Above the top ruler I should be able to see a tab, or multiple tabs when several files are open. However all that is shown is a cropped "Ai" ident. This means the only way I can flick between files is by through "Window" in the top panel.

Keyboard Increments in preferences doesn't work.
I set my Keyboard Increment to .0139 and anchor points move correctly. Then I change it to .00139, which has alway worked in the past, it now jumps about 10X the correct distance. I restarted. No change. I uninstalled, then reinstalled. No change. I restarted my computer. No change. I can't work with it like this. How do I get this fixed?

Viewing files when placing an image
For a short time recently when I choose File>place and navigate to my stock image folder, the most recently downloaded file appeared first. SUPER TIME SAVER (Using Windows 10). Now it seems this feature is gone and I have to sift through hundreds of files once again. I can set file explorer to sort by "date created" ie. date created ON MY COMPUTER, but I can't replicate this viewing option any more through Illustrator's place option. Any ideas?
1 voteunfortunately the feature that you are referencing is provided by Windows operating system. We use the Windows system fie open dialog to enable file place on your artboard.
Please click on sort by date created this should resolve your problem. -

Linked image cannot be moved by fill once it's scaled down to certain point.
An image file, size ~100cmx140cm, was imported into ai. Once it's scaled down to around 10mmx14mm, it can't be selected by its fill( even I zoomed really up close), I'll have to move it around by selecting it's bounding box. When I scale it up a little bit like 1mm, it fixes the problem. This is super annoying. Please fix it.
( I'm using the latest version to date.)
1 votethere is a zoom level on screen beyond which an object can become too small for all of widgets to be meaningfully operated on by the mouse cursor.
Please zoom in a little so that the mouse cursor can fit in between the bounding bog and be able to select a fill area. this should solve the issue.

Make lines look straight again
So, I would expect to let straight lines look or be straight and not inexact, triangeled or non-point.

Recent Files Browser Window: the wrong file opens when choosing a recent file.
This has happened multiple times. It isn't a one off incident.
Adobe Illustrator CC 22.1 (64-bit) / Windows 10
Step 1: Open Illustrator from desktop icon.
Step 2: Click on a recent file from displayed recent file options.Expected result: Selected file opens.
Actual result: A file other than the one I clicked opens.
There doesn't appear to be a pattern to which file opens, other than it is one from the selection of recently opened/saved files shown. See attachment.

Adobe Illustrator has found an error it can't correct
How do I deal with the Adobe Illustrator error message "Adobe Illustrator has found an error it can't correct"? It shows up for one Illustrator file but not others. Why does it give me this pop up every time?
I'm running Win10 64-bit.

scale in pointer
the scale tool that we use to transform an object does not work. I have to uninstall the program to see it again and sometimes that does not repair it

Expanded shapes get an additional redundant anchor point
Example:
1. Draw a square with a stroke set to the inside or outside (doesn't matter which as long as the stroke isn't centred)
2. Expand the square and instead of the 8 anchor points you would expect the compound shape to have, the expanded square has 10 anchor points.
The top right corners have 2 anchor points each, created directly on top of each other.This happens with ANY shape with corners and a stroke that isn't centred.
You can't see the extra anchor point directly because it is in exactly the same location as the correct anchor point.

New from Template...
In version 22.1 ”New from Template...” command works just like ”Open...” command. Earlier version ”New from Template” opens always template files from Cool Extras folder.

Dynamic Symbols don't move when direct selecting.
If I drag a selection box around a static symbol and then move it - it moves as expected. If I do the same with a dynamic symbol - it's broken.
Definitely need this to work for my workflow. Thanks!
