Selection in the right pane
Since a recent update of Illustrator, it has been very difficult or even almost impossible to select data in the right panels with the mouse. The cursor is stuck, and you must either use the keyboard to erase data and change their value or double-click on the data and replace its value.
This bug was not present in the former versions of Illustrator (Windows).

Inconsistent colors across the Adobe apps, even when synced via Bridge
With the new CC update, I can't calibrate colour across apps using Color Settings in Bridge. This started happening often on the previous release, but I was able to fix it by resetting this in Bridge. Now, it doesn't work. See attached – same Pantone colour (50% of Pantone Bridge 7500) in InDesign and Illustrator. The InDesign is accurate; Illustrator is not. Nothing I do seems to help. I may revert to older Bridge and Photoshop until you sort this out.

Artboard's anchor points not working as expected.
Illustrator 25.4.1, Windows 10 Pro 21H1 build 19043.1110
I am trying to set the size of the artboard to the dimensions of certain elements in the drawing.
For this I would pick an anchor point of an artboard and align it with an anchorpoint of an object, smart guides and every necessary snap option is active.
However, the result is that the artboard is always off.
After trying for some time I found out that it's not the anchor point of the artboard that is aligned with the other anchor point, but the cursor. And the cursor is always a…1 vote -
Zoom not working!!!
Neither pinch nor scroll are working correctly. I tried turning off animated zoom and it doesn't work that way either.
Very unreliable and choppy with huge steps when it does happen to trigger.
2 votesAnimated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.

Resizing window distorts artwork and interface
Selecting Edit>Recolor Artwork resulted in Illustrator distorting the contents of the user interface when the application window was resized. I was unable to replicate the problem after restarting Illustrator. The attached screenshot is not resized, it is exactly as Illustrator appeared after the bug manifested.

Lag when mouseover on Font menu
On macOS, if you click the "Type" menu in the menubar at the top of the screen, then hover over "Font" in the dropdown menu, there is serious lag as the fonts load. Sometimes if you're just passing over the Font option on your way to another item, you can experience lag for 3-5 seconds as the fonts load anyway.

Screen goes white as soon as I draw something
As soon as I open an Illustrator document and draw or touch an object, the screen goes white. I switch between gpu and cpu rendering, nothing changes.
M1 MBP, newest os and illustrator version, not the beta or pre version, rosetta 2 mode.
2 votesThe team is aware of a similar looking issue, where this is due to Anchor Point Size preference set to Max value. Please check if changing it from Max to any other value resolves this and comment back.
The investigation continues to get the root cause of this preference corruption.

v25.4 Changed ID format for items with same name when saving SVGs
Do this on both v25.3.1 with v25.4 (Both Mac, Windows):
Assuming Identify Objects By Object Name is on.
1) Create new document
2) Create two items (e.g. rectangle)
3) Rename rectangles to same name
4) Save SVG (not export)Expected format from v25.3.1:
<rect id="rect_1_" ...
<rect id="rect" ...
Actual v25.4 output:
<rect id="rect_00000161598596446820662850000009930553674419257219_" ...
<rect id="rect"
We have clients who have CSS selectors that dynamically change the SVG, so now they can't update their designs in our system because it breaks the CSS selectors.
Afterwards, changing "Identify Objects By" shows that same ID name in the layers panel.

Gradient along a stroke blend
When blending 2 gradient strokes (gradient along stroke) the blend orientation does not stay consistent with the 2 original strokes. I know I can get the required results with gradient within a stroke or converting outline path etc. but I need to get it to work using 'gradient along stoke' for my purposes.

In CC2020 and later, referencing the created property of the File class returns "null”.
Environment
macOS 10.15.6
Illustrator CC ver.25.1Step and reproduce
1.Select menu ”File->Script->Other Script" and choose below one.//JavaScript File detail
var f=File.openDialog("");
alert(f.created);Expected result
Illustrator shows "null". It must be return files created date.Actual result
”null” is returned.In CC2019 this property was successfully retrieved. It seems that a problem occurred after CC2020. Also, even if we put it in the 2021 family, other applications can get "created" property normally.
"modified" property behaves similarly strangely in relation to this issue.This behavier shows only macOS. Windows can return as normal.

Groups inside compound paths lead to problems
Today I'm going to bring you awareness to the way Illustrator treats groups in compounds.
For me it sounds strange already — why would I want a group inside of a compound path?
What would I use it for?
Ai won’t allow me to go isolate this group to edit its components.
Ai would not show it in the Layers tree — for some reason we can’t expand a compound path to see its children, like we can do with the groups.
Ai won’t give scripts a way to see these groups inside of compound paths — and this leads…36 votes -
Illustrator 2021 (Version 25.0.0) crashing when running Variable Importer script
Ever since the update, the program crashes when you either "test" the files before importing the variables or even if you skip this step and directly choose importing the variables, it completely crashes the application. I require this script for my job and have a project due this Friday, October 30th 2020. Please address immediately.

File won't SAVE nor SAVE AS; only SAVE AS COPY
Working on MacBook Pro, Catalina OS, Illustrator 25.2
The "SAVE" file is not an option. Whether an existing (an existing file with or without changes), or a new file - I cannot "SAVE".The "SAVE AS" option looks to be available, but then it does not work.
The only thing that is a workable option is "SAVE AS COPY". Which is nonsense. This just started happening and I can't fix it. I've tried uninstalling Illustrator and re-installing. No change.
This is completely unacceptable and I've wasted 3 hours of precious deadline time trying to figure this out. HELP!!!
ARGH!!!!

Lasso tool not selecting
Since updating Illustrator a month or so ago, the lasso tool rarely works. No vector points are selected and I'm having to use the direct select tool instead.
10 votesDoes it happen all the time for you, or occasionally? in any file, or a specific one? If a certain one — can you share it?
What is your exact OS details and version used?
Can you record a short video demonstrating the issue?
Please comment back, the team lack details on this issues and can’t really start investigations this.

Annoying undo behaviour - please don't undo the values in the dialogs
It has been like this forever but it is very annoying all the same: when you have selected an object and you hit Return to move it by a value of n px, and you undo that action, the x and y values in the Move dialog have been restored to their former value. 99% of the time this is annoying and not what I need. I want the value to be remembered and not undone. I only want the OPERATION to be undone.
