Window not showing
From the Finder (MacOS X 10.15.4), I open a n illustrator Document. The app comes forward and I see a black screen. The "Window" menu tells me that the document is open BUT where?

Moving artboard with locked layers prompt warning
In 24.1, every time I move the artboard with my layers locked, I get the warning: "Any hidden or locked objects in the artboard will not be moved." EVERY TIME!
There is no "Don't show me this again" option and I am constantly adjusting artboards to fit customer's artwork.17 votes -
SVG arc path without whitespace standard syntax broken
When an arc is described using a missing whitespace, which is perfectly valid SVG syntax, it will not be rendered correctly in Illustrator. This was discovered with SVG files compressed by SVGO 1.3+ and later which has the arc path optimisation by default.
This syntax should work as it is a standard part of the SVG specification and is rendered correctly by all major web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
In the attached example an arc is written as:
a.65.65 0 011.109-.459
The string 011.109 contains 3 values:
0
1 (a boolean is required here, it cannot be 11.109)…3 votes -

A new artboard created in a template with two artboards gets 'Artboard 2' name instead of 'Artboard 3'
My default document I use to begin projects has two artboards. If I add a third artboard, it will be named "Artboard 2" and I have to go into the settings and rename it "Artboard 3" in order to print properly.

Illustrator 24.1 can't place AI files created in the same version WIN 10
Illustrator 24.1 can't place AI files. It seams to only affect AI files created in version 24.1.
When attempting to link the AI, illustrator does not generate any preview of the file. It allows the user to follow the placing process but no content is shown when placed on the artboard and also it does not honor the linked file dimensions.
After hitting the "cancel" button on the import tool an error message appears stating Illustrator could not read the ai file.The same file can be linked successfully when saved as a PDF.

Duplicating an Artboard with art on it and then Undoing it, causes crash
if you drag and artboard with art on it while holding option to duplicate, it duplicates fine, but if you Undo, the duplicated artboard remains and you can't delete. sometimes if you try and select the artboard illustrator will crash. the only way to update is to reopen the affected file.

Artboard > Fit to Artwork Bounds with clipping mask and raster effects
Resizing an artboard with Artboard Options -> Preset -> Fit to Artwork Bounds doesn't honor clipping masks or raster effects. The new artboard size includes artwork hidden by clipping mask, and excludes raster effects such as drop shadows.
2 votesIllustrator now honors raster effects such as clipped shadows, and fits to clipping masks instead of their clipped content, when using Fit to Artwork Bounds or Fit to Selected Art commands.
However, there is no option to not do that, and to ignore Use Preview Bounds option in general — the fitting always uses strokes. If you want to change that, vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/46067539-an-option-to-ignore-strokes-when-using-fit-to-artw

File not opening with artboard in Fit Artboard in Window view
We have several artists that I review their files. Every time I open one of their files I have to do the "Fit Artboard in Window" shortcut. Because the artboard did not hold its original state of "fit artboard in window" from their saved file. This was not an issue before the latest update. So, I'm guessing this may be some change or glitch created in this latest update.

Disappearing artboards in Illustrator 24.0.3
I created a bunch of artboards and put logotypes (word logos) in them, exported each artboard as separate SVGs, closed the file. When I opened the file the next time, only my first artboard still remained but all my artboards I created after that were gone. This is disruptive because I need to keep the placement of all of the graphics in those artboards consistent as they are going to appear on the same baseline in our product. This is not the first time this has happened to me! I can't attach an image as the content cannot be public…

Layer stacks change not applied on different window (v24.0.2)
On different window, the change of the object stacks (Ctrl + ] or [) doesn't seem to apply. Every time I change the order of the object, I have to close the window on the other and open it and place it again. this is so frustrating.
