Switching project tabs fails to update to selected project
In recent updates, including the June 2020 Illustrator update, tabs fail to switch projects, displaying only the current project for up to 15 seconds before slowly refreshing and switching to the selected open project tab. This happens several times a day and drastically effects productivity. (macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Macbook Pro 16 2019)

Cannot view New Files
- Using MacOSX 10.15.5 (19F101), Newest version of Illustrator CC
- Open existing file file, create new file
- EXPECTED: A new file gets created and I can see the artboard and work within the file
- ACTUAL: A new tab opens with "Untitled" but cannot toggle to the new tab, and when attempting to break the new document out of tabs and input any objects (text, shapes, lines, or paste) into the "New" document, it creates/pastes into the first document opened, not the New one I created. Cannot manipulate any "New" document in any capacity with Illustrator, Photoshop, or Indesign (only ones I've…

Performance on MacOS
Currently MacOS version still slow, zooming slow , it's memory hog. it need to use Apple Metal GPU API. Illustrator is heavy. They need to improve the performance. Listen to the users.
like MacBook Air it runs slow and laggy.

Actions don't work with function keys in Illustrator 2020
In CS6 the function keys worked fine to invoke actions. In Illustrator CC 2020 the function keys operate as Mac function keys but can't be used to invoke an action. For example, I have Shift + F3 programmed in AI to save a file as .PNG to the current disk. I know the action does what it should because when I double-click it in the Actions menu it works fine. When I press shift+F3, I get the multi-file window, which is the native Mac keyboard function for F3. It's as if the programmers forgot to override the Mac function keys…

Adobe Illustrator 2020 (24.1.2)-The latest updated version KEEPS CRASHING on MacOS Mojave
Hi
I'm having crashing issues with the simplest movements like dragging, changing the type sizes, accidentally double-clicking etc.
First the screen freezes.
Later everything goes blank/my screen sometimes goes full black and forced shutdown follows.
I'm using Macbook Air - MacOs Mojave version 10.14.6. (1.6 GHz Intel Core i5/ 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3).
This is happening every time I open up AI without exception.
Note: When I started my computer in safe mode-AI is working normally.
What should we do?
Thanks in advance.6 votesPlease follow the steps listed in this link to share the crash log to Illustrator team, this will help us investigate and fix this issue. https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/kb/crash-next-steps.html

Measuring/positioning elements improperly includes shadow/effects
It used to be that when you selected an object/element with a drop-shadow (or other effect), the measurements did NOT include the drop-shadow. HOWEVER, now they do and it's causing me lose-my-mind!!! To measure and or position ANYTHING correctly, you have to first turn-off the shadow (in the Appearance panel) then position/measure and THEN turn-on the drop-shadow!!! Seriously, this is an enormous time-waster. PLEASE, allow us to turn off the function where everything is measured-and-positioned by it's drop-shadow. PLEASE
