  1. Version 24.02 creates random lines and shapes which appear and disappear when scrolling or grouping, consistently crashes upon opening

    Lines and shapes will appear on the shapes I have created, but can't be selected. When grouped or ungrouped with something else, the shape and line disappear, but randomly appear when scrolling. I operate on a Windows laptop

  3. Gradients Crashing Illustrator

    Every time I drag a color swatch, whether an existing swatch or eye-dropped, into my gradient panel, Illustrator crashes. I'm also having issues with my gradient sliders spazzing out when trying to drag them. It causes my program to freeze up. I have one file open and only five gradients in my file, so not enough to overload illustrator. It's making my job extremely hard to do. I have also restarted and tried re-installing illustrator.

  4. Low performance after Windows 10 november 2019 update

    After updating Windows 10, illustrator becomed very slow both in file opening than commands execution ("application not responding" for minutes each time).
    I uninstalled illustrator release 24 and tryed the 23, that performed very well in the past, but the problem persists.

  7. Illustrator crashes with every use. First, the drop menus depopulate, next the save dialog box dissapears, and then the program freezes

    My issues with illustrator 2019 started with previous update, but I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1903 and it's still a problem. Seems I've been lucky though to have this only happen to me recently. People have been raising their hands on this being an issue for them since October 2018! Unbelievable. So what's the solution?

  9. Crashing every 10 minutes or less

    Hello,

    I am currently doing a piece of art on illustrator and it keeps crashing every 10 minutes or sometimes less. Something that should take me an hour or less is now taking me currently 3 hours and I'm not even half way through because it keeps crashing and it's frustrating that I pay so much for something and I can't even do what I want because it doesn't want to work or allow me to do work. It's even more frustrating having to stop and save every minute or so when this all can be prevented.

    I hope there…

  10. Lag and Illustrator "Not Responding" after copy command

    The platform is: Illustrator 23.0.6 64-bit, on Win10 Enterprise 1903 latest updates, and with nVidia drivers R430 U5 (431.70).

    The bug is that Illustrator freezes for ~5 seconds after/during a simple copy command, and "Not Responding" is displayed on the top title bar. This can be induced by just opening a new file, drawing a rectangle, then trying to copy it (with Ctrl-C or with the menu command).

    This is destroying my workflow...

  11. Can't save. Crashes constantly. Lose Transform controls randomly and have to restart.

    2020 is awful. When it's not crashing, it's telling me it's crashed. Now it refuses to save my work and copying and pasting it's only picking up half what I copy. Awful, awful. I'm on a 2019 Macbook pro.

  12. Illustrator input and tools unresponsive when switching between apps

    Illustrator input and tools unresponsive when switching between apps. If you click on the stroke, you can't type in the input. Type highlight is grey, not blue showing that something is keeping the selection from being active.

  13. Update link

    After I updated the 2020 version of the apps, illustrator started to fail. When I modify a photoshop file it takes several minutes to update on illustrator and my computer stops working. It takes like 5 minutes to update the link so i can keep working, before this version the update was automatic.

  15. command + z

    illustrator newest version 2020 in use:
    it has issues in reverting the latest action. the one before the latest and all the previous are reverted while that last 1 stays the same.

    lets say

    1- line modification towards left
    2- line resized
    3- point of line modified from point A towards B

    when pressing cmd+z only the actions nr 2 and nr1 are rverted. the position of the line in the nr3 doesnt go from B back to A. stays in B..
