Any document created using Film & Video document profile gets a second 14400×14400 artboard
When creating a new document in the HDV/HDTV 1080 or other Film and Video-related workspaces, the artboard is initially created with the correct size. However, as soon as you add any object to this workspace outside of the borders of the artboard, a new artboard is automatically generated, and it is massive. This forces the user to manually remove the second artboard, which is unnecessary.
1 voteThe second artboard is not a bug, but a specifically designed behavior for later import to AfterEffects. It gives AE enough room to avoid clipping of the layer content to the main artboard size (basically a dummy for a pasteboard).
Here is a quote from The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book (found here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/146842/huge-unwanted-artboard-created-by-default-in-adobe-illustrator-cc-2020):
Тo create a composition to import into After Effects, use the Video & Film Document Profile (Film & Video in CC). This creates two artboards — one large artboard that serves as a "scratch" area for objects used later in AE, and one sized for your chosen video format.

New Document has strange green lines, rulers, checkered background, and second artboard
My Illustrator recently updated to 28.7.1
Now, when I create a new document in Illustrator, the artboard/working area looks like the attached file.
I'm confused at what this is and the checkerboard background is messing up my vision!!
How do I go back to the plain dark gray work surface with WHITE artboard view?
Also, when I am trying to create 1 artboard, it keeps creating 2 artboards...one filling the whole background and 1 the size that I specified....

Copying elements undos artwork name changes
Copying an element (regardless of what it is) will cause one of the artboards to change it's name.
There doesn't seem to be an logic to which artboard gets changed. In one file with 30+ artboards the it was somewhere in the middle.
The files are created using this template file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nzcO96j5o6T1Vanunp3_AF2Iq6wqefHs/view?usp=sharing

SVG Imports with missing/changing colors
This svg file opens correctly in browsers and even converts correctly in Inkscape, but in Illustrator all the colors change.
I'm using the latest illustrator as of May 2024 on Windows 11.
I tried attaching the SVG file but it gets removed for not being supported, nice...

Deselect Artboards command and hotkey problem
When you pick the Artboard Tool, you enter a special 'artboard mode', and it modifies the behavior of standard 'object mode' commands.
For example, pressing Cmd/Ctrl + A (Select All) will select all artboards instead of objects.
But for some reason pressing Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A (Deselect All) does not deselect all artboards, but selects them all instead.
And if I try to call it from the menu, it will deselect objects instead of artboards (if I have any object selected) or just be inactive (if I have no object selected).This is hardly consistent and makes deselecting artboards…

Artwork moves separately from its artboard when Undo is called
when you move an artboard and have 'move artwork with artboard' checked in the properties panel (and in preferences) everything works going from point A to B. Unfortunately when you want to undo your work and use the key command 'command z' the artboard moves back to its' original location but the artwork does NOT. you have to use 'command z' several more times for the artwork to reposition itself to its original position. This makes no sense. why are 2 items that were moved at the same time in one pass not reposition themselves (back to pt. A) in…

Crash after moving complex artwork outside the artboard
I'm testing the new release (27.2 on MacOS) before the whole company can safely move to the new environment. I basically can crash the whole software in a few seconds. What I need to do is:
1) I need to open a big file - I've used files 23.5 MB, 43MB, 64.7 MB, 15.1MB (the files have been created in previous versions of Illustrator ).
2) Turn on wire view in Illustrator (command + Y)
3) select with lasso all points that are on the artboard
4) switch to select tool (V)
5) Start to move objects outside of the…

Multiple Artboards only saving as main file name
When exporting multiple artboards, they are not saving as individual artboard names but rather, trying to save as the main file name.

Reordering artboards / double clicking an artboard zooms me into that artboard
I experience the following disorienting app behaviour.
How to reproduce:
1. Zoom out with all the artboards in view.
2. In the artboard list, find which artboard is highlighted.
3. Click-and-drag that artboard. (Don't even really need to reorder it)Expected behavior:
Nothing asides from reordering the artboards.Actual behavior:
I am now zoomed into that artboard. I then have to zoom back out and continue reordering artboards at my desired birds-eye-view distance.
11 votesThis is expected to be fixed in the latest Beta Build 29.5.0.15 — the double-click on the item in the Artboards panel now should not zoom to the artboard on canvas, hooray! Please check if this now behaves as expected and comment back

Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

Keyboard shortcut for "Navigate to Next Document" stopped working on MacOS
With the latest update to Illustrator 27.2, I've found the "Navigate to Next Document" keyboard shortcut to have stopped working. I have checked the Keyboard Shortcuts tool and verified that it remains as "Illustrator Defaults" and it is set to ⌘`. In fact none of the related shortcuts work.
To be sure, I've tried a different keyboard with the same result and the shortcut does continue to work in other applications (as it is the default shortcut on macOS to cycle around documents.)
