Escape Button and Arrow Keys not working with latest Illustrator 2020
This was a previous bug that seems to be resurrected: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/35763892-escape-key-and-arrows-not-working-with-illustrator
Escape and arrow keys randomly stop working. If I close the application and restart it sometimes solves the issue, but I'd really like to not have to close everything down and start it all back up again every time it stops working 5 - 10 min into editing a document. :(

Missing Text on Menus?
I'm working on a 21.5 inch late 2015 image, 2.8 with 8GB using Mojave. I'm not quite sure what steps are happening and if there is a hardware issue on my side, but when I use Illustrator, there is an intermittent bug that seems to happen. Here's how it goes:
Using Illustrator, usually the pen tool.
The spinning beach ball pops up.
The screen freezes for a few seconds.
When it pops back into play, none of the menus have text. Literally, NONE, even those outside of Illustrator (Chrome, the Apple drop downs to restart/shut down)Is it just destroying…

Illustrator (version 24.1.2) crashes every time I use the crop tool.
I have been using the crop tool without an issue over the last year and a half, right up until yesterday. Today my illustrator refuses to work the second i click on the crop tool, and instantly crashes. I tried reinstalling it, but it hasn't improved.

Can't blend objects filled with gradient
For whatever reason, I cannot blend shapes that are filled with a gradient. I've tried everything. This has never been a problem before this 2020 update. I'm ripping my hair out.

Illustrator Freeze & Crashing

Illustrator and InDesign crashing multiple times a day
I have a weird crash — many but not all times I step away from my Mac (2020 MacBook Pro 16" running Catalina; 64GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB; Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB), Illustrator goes down (and often, InDesign as well). I'll come back and wake up the machine and am greeted with system crash messages. The crash message seems to be related to Dispatch queue. Is it possible this is tied to sleep functionality, or perhaps a GPU issue? Would love to resolve this.

Freezing and crashing constantly - menu gets messed up first
Illustrator keeps freezing and frequently crashing. This is not a computer issue, it happened on my old computer and is still happening on my new Lenovo thinkpad. It happens the same way every time. First the menu bar gets corrupted (look at top menu photo attached). Then menus won't open. Then it crashes. Sometimes I can save first, but often not. I am losing a ton of work! I just lost a half hours work. I need this fixed. I have update illustrator several times it doesn't fix it. I'm attaching an image with the details of my system, but…

Illustrator crashing (V24) when connected to Dell USB docking station
I'm having random Illustrator CC crashes when I try to open the program while my PC is connected to a docking station via USB. I was trying to open a downloaded file, so I thought that was the issue. Every time I would try to open AI it would stop responding, so I would shut it down. Once I unplugged from the docking station it would start to work normally again. So I'm not sure if AI not responding is related the USB or maybe a file.
The downloaded file was even moved out of the downloads folder and AI…

Photoshop-styled background raster in Illustrator when typing text
In Illustrator 2020 there is a visual bug. When editing text there suddenly comes a pixel pattern (like the one when you use Photoshop and have no images). This happens out of the text frame. When zooming out or in, it goes away, but when I am typing again it comes back at unexpected moments in weird places.
There's further really nothing else. It's just weird to the eye and this feels like a bug important enough to report it. I somehow don't like to report bugs, but I do hope Adobe is aware of this issue. For the fixing…

Panels are mixed up and showing wrong content when docked
All panels and document windows show some frozen content. This happens daily until I restart. If panels are dragged to be floating they refresh correct until they are docked together again.

Crashes constantly
Illustrator crashes constantly. Typically, when pasting anything (even a single character) into an existing AI file. We have updated all associated drivers, upgraded video card, re-imaged the OS. Nothing is making this better. After a few strokes, Illustrator will gray out and report "Not Responding."

Zoom in keyboard shortcut bug
Since the update to Illustrator v. 24.1 the zoom in keyboard shortcut (cmd +) no longer works. The zoom out function (cmd -) does continue to work. I have the same issue in Adobe Acrobat. Any fixes would be appreciated.

Changing font in glyphs crashes program
Occasionally I'll be searching through my fonts for a decorative character icon. If I change the font at the bottom of the glyphs window I'm likely to hang my software. I suspect that it happens when the character I have selected is not available in the font I am switching to.

Illustrator 2020 on 4K monitor
Has Illustrator been designed to work on 4K monitors with AMD GPUs? Because my experience is that it isn't; the performance is horrific. Same goes for InDesign and Bridge. Will this ever be addressed?
