Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor
Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor on Canvas.
Please remove this bug which is on illustrator since a long time (perhaps 2014/2015 version or before :/ ). It would be time to give a better UX on it because it's really boring.
Thx.illustrator: v23.0.3

Mobile Adobe Draw open in Desktop App (AI) does not work
Opening in Adobe Desktop Apps does not work in iOS Adobe Draw. There is the option to save as a PSD in cloud files, but NOT to save as an AI. Highly disappointing for tablet integration.
Also, two finger gestures are slow and interpret commands poorly.

Illustrator CC2019 23.0.3 crashes on save ONLY WHEN connected to Internet
Every time I attempt to save an Illustrator file, it freezes and I get the spinning wheel, to the point where I have to force quit. After I force quit and reopen, all my preferences are reset to default.
I've attempted saving on Dropbox, iCloud, my external hard drive, and my local hard drive - it all freezes. The only time it doesn't freeze is when I disconnect from the Internet, and at that point I can save literally anywhere I want.
This happens LITERALLY every single time. I've gotten to a point where whenever I work on Illustrator, I've…

Huge glitch
I'm working on a Windows 7 in Illustrator version 23.0.1
The very first time I opened the program the file had a big cutout in a triangular shape, and clicking anywhere on the document or even just moving the mouse around causes it to glitch further by adding random colours to the document and displacing the objects in the document.
After the first time this happened I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but that didn't work. I also just updated to the newest version of Illustrator today but that also didn't work.
Attached are screenshots of the glitches.

ILLUSTRATOR IS BROKEN GARBAGE
First of all this bug reporting website is horendious, and I expect nothing less from Adobe who make products that should put them out of business.
Right now in Illustrator 2019 I cannot change the size of a font without stroke appearing on the text, if I turn the stroke off, the font shrinks in size again, now I'm here wasting my precious time typing out the stupidest problem imaginable. Another thing, I have absolutely no idea why when i click the type tool to the artboard there is text that appears automatically... is the paradigm of a blinking cursor…1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

Pixel preview incredibly slow
Working in pixel preview mode is painfully slow – even on small, simple files.
It makes no difference whether GPU mode is on or off.

Illustrator stops, not responding
Operating system is Windows 7 Enterprise, Illustrator is CC 2018 or 2019. I begin to work for only 15 sec and then the program pauses with the blue spinning wheel. If I click again the screen shows a (not responding) title at the top and goes grey. This process takes another 15 sec and then snaps back into place and works again, but only for another 15 sec and repeats. I've opened and closed the program several times and also restarted the computer but no change. This only happens in Illustrator and no other CC programs I use. Any ideas…

AI 2019 is not using Intel UHD 630 for HW acceleration
We are using AI 2019 or multiple devices, two of them are Mac Mini 2018s with intel 6-core core i5/i7 and UHD 630. One of them has eGPU RX 580 8GB. While AI recognizes GPUs on both Minis, it shows UHD 630 on the one without eGPU and RX 580 on the one with eGPU, it does not seem to use the UHD 630. I tried to use multiple kinds of hardware monitoring software, but the UHD 630 is not being used at all and the performance is terrible. While RX 580 on the other mac is heavily utilized, often…

Undo in illustrator behaving funny. Please address it.
Undo function in Illustrator 23.0.2 (64-bit) is behaving funny. It is doing one simple undo of a transformation after 2-3 steps. Sometimes the undo totally gets disabled resulting frustration! Please address. This message is sent from the corporate license of Abobe CC of Danfoss (drives section) Global Team.

Horizontal Lines
I always get these horizontal lines that show up when I'm scrolling down an illustrator file. They completely cover the screen and then go away if I zoom even a little bit. Figured this was a bug that would get fixed with an update but it has continued ever since I first downloaded the app. It only happens when I click tab to hide the menus and toolbars. Tab will also make them disappear. Assuming this is not normal, anyone else getting this??

persistent selection and precision issues...and Adobe doesn't seem to give a f*ck
I used to love Illustrator, now, I HATE it. Since the switch to CC, it's been problematic and buggy and nothing ever seems to get fixed. In fact, the entire program has gotten worse over time and it's obvious that Adobe doesn't give a **** about their customers.
The overall lack of precision and the issues with the selection tools are driving me insane. I have to repeat movements numerous times and/or have to zoom in hundreds or thousands of percent to do complete the simplest of tasks...like scaling or adjusting width/height. Illustrator rotates the shape instead, or randomly switches…

app lock up
23.0.2 updated automaticly. No problem. I run on a Win10 HP Spectre laptop with a USB dock to a second screen. When connected to the dock, all is well. However as soon as I undoc to go to a client, the app locks EVERYTHING. Even CRTL-ATL-DEL won't reboot it. Must hard shutdown to get any other programs back up but again as soon as I open Ill... LOCKUP! Embarassing and frustrating. As soon as I dock again... smooth as glass. Thoughts?

Illustrator and Adobe apps are slow on retina display
Hi All!
I have an issue with Illustrator (23.0.2) on my brand new 15" retina Macbook Pro 2018 (latest edition 2,6GHz i7, 16GB ram, RadeonPro 560X).
I've seen lot of similar issues here, but I would like to say about an interesting thing.
If I moving around in a document or zoom in/out (simple or complex), it works really slow. If I switch to GPU preview, it's much better, but in CPU preview it's horrible and unusable.
Bigger problem is that on my previous 13" MacbookPro (2012 mid, 2,9Ghz i7) without dedicated graphics card everything works fine (in CPU and…

Pathfinder > Crop Crashes
I'm trying to create a pattern that contains a pattern. Each time I try to crop the pattern using Pathfinder > Crop, Illustrator freezes. If I try to "stop" the process, Illustrator crashes and I have to restart. I saw that someone had reported a similar issue late 2018 and the bug status shows as "completed" with the issue being fixed in 23.0.2. However, I'm running 23.0.2 and I'm experiencing what appears to be the same problem.
I'm running Mac OSx Mojave 10.14. I've experienced this issue on both an iMac and a Macbook Pro. Each has 16GB of RAM.…

Every time Illustrator start, CEPHTMLengine steal focus by constantly being killed/crash and restarted
This is a bug, not an idea.
I'm using Illustrator 2019 with full Adobe CC over Windows 7 pro, Since the update from 2018 every time I start Illustrator all other windows loose focus every 20sec, including Illustrator. I can not even type a full sentence when illustrator is ON. Once Illustrator is closed, the normal focus returns.
I noticed that the CEPHTMLEngine start when Illustrator start and its being killed or crash every 20sec and then is restarted, This restart steal focus from any program running in windows. The cycle continues until Illustrator is closed.I'm behind a corporate…
