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.

SmartGuides do not always snap.
This can happen even if I am at the 200% limit. Which taking the limit off would be great also.

Move bug
There appears to be another bug crept into the latest version of Illustrator when selecting an object and using the Object > Transform > Move dialogue.
When you change values it commits those values rather than previews them, even if you cancel the operation. Ie. if you type 100mm into the x-coordinate box then change it to 150mm it will move your object 100mm then a further 150mm (250mm in total) rather than honouring the last value and only moving it 150mm.
Illustrator is becoming all but unusable of late.

Random slow-downs opening or saving files
In AI 23.0.4 when opening a sequence of files there are random slow-downs and spinning beachballs for no obvious reasons, at random. Have un-installed and getting same issue with 23.0.3 and 23.0.2. Nothing about my system has changed since this has started and it's driving me mad.

Illustrator freezes when runs in a loop for 500 times. So inside loop only I am adding the document, saving to the disk and close the document
Here is the code
for(var i=0;i<500;i++){
var doc = app.documents.add();
doc.saveAs(File('~/Desktop/Test'+(i+1)))
doc.close();
}
Run, this code and you will never able to create 500 documents. I use automation a lot and in one go I have to loop over 1000 documents that have graphics inside it. BUt here in sample cript I am not doing nothing just crating 500 documents without any graphics, still Illustrator frezees.I have attached the screenshots for memory…

laggy after placing linked files
When I place a JPG in my file (linked, not embedded), my Illustrator file becomes laggy. It lags when I pan across the file or zoom in and out and takes longer than usual to save the file. I've noticed this as a problem since the latest update of Illustrator.
System specs:
Mojave 10.14.5

3.8 GHz Intel Core i5

slow cursor on second monitor when using Adobe Illustrator - only while using Ai
When I used illustrator on my second monitor, the mouse cursor is astoundingly slow and a reduced range across the screen. This only happens when I use illustrator, not other applications. I am using a macOS Mohave 10.14.5 (18F132) and am connecting to my monitor with an HDMI using an HDMI/USB adapter for my laptop.
This costs me in time and efficiency at my job, as I'm sure it does for other people, who have posted similar complaints on adobe forums. Please fix it!

Moving artwork generates copies along its path
After spending hours on a logo design, I selected all of the art, resized it to fit the canvas, and then moved it over a few spaces to the right. When moving the artwork to the right, illustrator began to generate copies of the art every time I tapped the right arrow key. This mass copying then made the application crash. I am able to open the file but my layers now have hundreds of sublayers in each of them!
I have used illustrator for years and never seen this before.
I am running on Windows 10
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770…

Corner Radius / Scaling instead of select and drag
In previous versions of Illustrator dating back 30 years, I used to be able to group-select entire object, option-select an anchor point, and reposition the selected object by dragging it to a new place.
Now it has become hit-and-miss, usually I end up accidently radiusing corners or resizing the item, and having to undo and try again, often several times.1 vote -

Illustrator 2019 inoperable after Windows 7 update
Windows 7, CC 2019, 64-bit PC:
Since latest Windows 7 update, Illustrator opens but none of the tools work, and the pull-downs roll back up before I can select one. Coworker with Illustrator 2017 has the same problem. Photoshop and Acrobat work.
Also, after the second-to-last Windows 7 update, we can no longer print a second PDF after making the first one, from any program (Illustrator, InDesign, AutoCAD...). We still have this problem too.

Illustrator 2019 23.0.4 suffering from (memory) problems
Illustrator is very unstable. Sometimes it starts with all menus grayed out - need to force quit. It complains about memory when working on very simple documents. Hangs the complete Mac - needs hard restart.
Lots of issues, not always reproductable, without error messages - seems quite fundamental.1 vote -
flickering black rectangle
when I move the cursor a black rectangle appears flickering alongside it. Its very confusing and off-putting. this happens with most but not all tools.
Is this something simple that i don't know about or is this something wrong? I have tried closing Illustrator and re-opening but it is still happening. not noticed it before.1 vote -
2019 v23.0.4 running VERY Slow and doesn't function correctly
I am not sure what happened, but in the past week v23 has gone horribly wrong. I am not sure when exactly my computer updated to v23.0.4, but I'm sure that was the start to the problems.
When you first start the application, it seems to work just like it should, but then you give it a minute or load any sort of file, and it slows WAY down.
Even creating simple boxes on an artboard will cause it happen. If you drag and size a box, it may actually do that, or it will decided to ask you the…2 votes
