Placing SVG object locks AI for >5 seconds
Hello,
On some AI installations, Placing an SVG file locks up AI for a 'long' time. Clicking makes the screen go black. After a relatively long wait, even for a trivial SVG file, the SVG object can be placed on the canvas. Placing a png does not show that slow down. On most machines this is not experienced
What could be the cause of this?

application frame glitch?
- macOS Catalina 10.15, Illustrator 23.1.1
this has happened twice since updating. each time has been random and in the middle of working as usual.
suddenly, i will try to click on a panel, but nothing happens (none will open/expand unless moved from the bar to a separate panel). also when selecting a different document tab, the file name switches, but window stays the same. until you turn off the application frame. but if you do that, then when turning the frame back on, it's blank - no windows, tabs, panels, toolbars, etc. and wont let you turn anything else on…

Flashing screen when loading multiple files at once
When multiple files are loaded at one time when the Application Frame is disabled it will result in an annoying screen flicker/blinking of each file loading as a new window. The more files that are loaded at once the more blinking you will be blinded by.
Usually of Illustrator preloads all of the files first and then loaded the main window/set of tabs, as apposed to loading each tab one at a time with this visual annoyance.
I've tested this on earlier on Illustrator 23.1.1 on High Sierra and this issue does not occur.
It does occur on my primary…

Make CMD+D to behave the same way in both Illustrator and InDesign
I like the CMD+D on Illustrator but want that on InDesign for duplicating things easier, and I also like the CMD+D on InDesign and I want that on Illustrator to relink photos easier. So maybe keep the CMD+D the same in both and create a new left hand command for the other?
I'm down1 voteYou can reassign these commands to new hotkeys manually to any combination you need, using Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
If you think that all Adobe apps should have the same keyboard shortcuts anyway, you can try to upvote this general request.

Full Arabic support not available with multiple languages installed
macOS 10.13.6, Illustrator 2019
When any language version of Illustrator installed other than Arabic, the full Arabic support is not available. Digits Type and Diacritic Positions are missing from the Character palette, and RTL/LTR and Kashidas are missing from the Paragraph palette, and corresponding tools are missing from the toolbar.
Also, Arabic must be be installed from nothing - no previous language can be installed.
AI does have the Middle Eastern composer options in the Paragraph menu, and correctly ligatures Arabic when one is set, but RTL is needed for correct punctuation and number display.
Non-Arabic versions of AI do…

No touchpad gestures on Windows 10 devices (with precision touchpad)
Gestures on the touchpad are currently not supported in nearly all Adobe CC Apps, Illustrator being one of them.
On Windows 10, there is no way to scroll diagonally on a touchpad, nor can you use a "pinch to zoom (in/out)" gesture. Scrolling is limited to horizontal and vertical dimensions, there is no panning.
I'm using a Surface Book 2. With its touchscreen, I am able to use these gestures. On the touchpad however, this isn't possible.
My workflow is heavily slowed down by this. I've been using a Macbook before and all gestures were supported - why isn't that…

Print Dialog Error Happening Every Day
Everyday after about four to six hours of use I go to print a file and get this bug. It renders the software unusable and I have to force quit the program and restart to get my recovered files. I really have no idea what is causing this error.

Installing previous patch removes custom workspaces
After installing v 23.0.6 going down from v23.1 using the Creative Cloud app, ALL of my custom workspaces were DELETED. Considering this doesn't happen when going up a version, I wouldn't have thought this would happen going back down to the previous version (still CC 2019). No warnings were given that this would happen.

Panels, windows not updating or displaying correctly
Finding this bug a lot recently. Basically I will be working in a file and the tool panels won't display, you can right click and see the the pop ups but nothing appears. Likewise if you have two or more documents open and switch between them, the screen stays the same. It says I'm on the new document but it doesn't change. The only way to fix it is to close and restart the program. I also get it with photoshop. Both at work and home. I'm essentially running the same software/hardware at either site. 27" iMac 16GB, 32gb RAM,…

Window jumps to new size when I grab resize thumb in bottom right corner
When I grab the resize thumb in the bottom right of a window, the window size jumps. In the two attached screenshots, the first is where the window was before I grabbed the thumb, and the second is where the window jumped to after grab. I can resize if I continue to hold the thumb, but the thumb position never matches the cursor position.

Workspace migration not working
Illustrator v24.0
Mac OS 10.14.6
I thought it worked in previous versions. When I installed InDesign 2020, my 2019 custom workspaces were included. In Illustrator they are not included and I have to recreate them, which is a royal pain. Is this a bug or just a dropped feature?1 vote -

Make Hide Edges shortcut work when in Dialog (Swatch Options, Transform Each, etc)
In some operations (e.g. Transform Each), we discover that the selection edges are influencing the perception of the preview. It would be nice when the Hide Edges command can be triggered while still in such an operation, in stead of leaving the function, turn off Edges, and repeat.

Workspaces can’t be switched, managed, or saved
NONE of my pallets/Windows opened into the application. When I try to switch to built-in or custom Workspaces, nothing changes. The Workspace STAYS selected as my previously-selected Workspace and none show up. If I manually go look at the Windows in the menu, none are open and I can MANUALLY open them and move them around... "Manage Workspaces" and "New Workspace" are disabled (Gray) and no matter what I do, I cannot change or override. I have quit/relaunched numerous times - same results.

Illustrator window resizing problem
My work window in Illustrator has a peculiar problem when I want to resize the window, after clicking in the bottom right corner the window grows much bigger (off screen) and so I have to resize the window even more than normal and my cursor as I do than is sort of on the middle of the screen and not on the corner as normal. Very strange. Only happens in Illustrator when Application Frame is turned off (which is the way I prefer).
