Bounding Box is invisible on Apple display, but not on MacBook
I use a MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display attached. With recent upgrade, the bounding box becomes invisible when viewed on the display, but is visible when viewed on the MacBook. Artboards are also very pale grey, very hard to see, (when adding new ones)

Export Artboards occasionally exports bleed
I'm using Windows 10, up to date as of 8th Nov 2020.
I have a new file, 85mm x 55mm. set up with a 3mm bleed. When attempting to export a JPG or PNG without the bleed (so, only the artboard visible) it still outputs the bleed area. I have tried exporting for screen, exporting with the 'Use Artboards' box both checked and unchecked. I have even reset my Illustrator preferences. No idea why this is suddenly not working in V25.0
I also get an error when attempting to export at 300DPI, which has never been an issue in the…

New update v25.1 is extremely buggy
With this new update I get the 'spinning beachball' constantly while trying to zoom in or out of the artboard.
Also - I have multiple objects with clipping masksI'm seeing unprecidented levels of glitches and visual artifacts all over the place that appear/disappear/reappear when zooming in and out. It's nearly unusable in this state!6 votes -
resizing a document window in illustrator is glitchy
Mac OS 10.15.7
AI 25.3.1Resizing an open document window is glitchy and not smooth at all. The artboard and imagery on it jump around as the window is resized. It's visually disrupting to workflow.

Partially read the file disappears with legacy format
In Illustrator 25.2.3, myself, my client, his colleague, and their client, all run into a nasty bug where some ai files will not open.
The dialog saying Illustrator could only partially read the file will appear and the file can't be recovered properly. Sometimes the file(s) can be opened on a second attempt, but, we have found that only by saving the files in Legacy format, will this bug disappear and the files are usable once again.

Smart guides not snapping to artboard or other objects when multiple objects selected.
If you select more than one object and try to snap to the artboard bounds it does not show any snapping. This also happens if you have a lot of objects selected and try to snap to a guide or another group of objects.

Gaussian Blur Bug Changes Appearance Between Different Versions
This is a major flaw!
We have an Illustrator file created in CC 2019 (23.0.6), it contains a PSD element that has a gaussian blur effect applied to it in Illustrator, set to a radius of 9 pixels, this produced a subtle blurred appearance. The file was then sent to a printer for test printing where they are using Illustrator CC 2021 (version unknown) and when they open the file the object becomes very blurred, completely changing its appearance.
I've managed to replicate the bug using Illustrator CC 2020, the object's radius blur effect changes to 9.021 pixels and the…

Currently in Illustrator 25.4.1 Transparency Mask is not working
Currently in Illustrator 25.4.1 when using Transparency Mask the mask is not showing as opaque, it seems to show a tint of the element being masked.
1 voteMost probably the black object in a mask has a black fill set in Grayscale, set by K value, while the document is in RGB mode. 100%K is not not equal to RGB0,0,0. This is a pretty common issue, since Ai uses K in RGB, especially in the default gradient. Changing the fill to RGB in Color panel can fix that. Please comment back if it helps.

Navigator contents not filling up window
I posted this in the forum too.
in the latest update, contents of navigator do not fill the window.Not only that, they are not even centered.
Navigator options are set to "view artboard contents only".
I tried checking/unchecking, but same weird beahviour.
So here are some screenshots.Illustrator window, and then Illustrator Navigator. Not only do the artboards not fit the window, they are cramped on the right side.
The second pair shows Ps behaving properly. You can notice behind PS Navigator is Ai Navigator and size discrepancy.
Is this a bug to be fixed?

25.4.1 is available in Creative Cloud but the What's New section of the user guide only covers 25.3.
The CC installer is bugging me to install 25.4.1, as shown in the highlighted portion of this screenshot. But the "view more" link leads to https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/user-guide.html/illustrator/using/whats-new.ug.html, which only describes 25.3.
I personally am in the prerelease program, so I can dig up the release notes and see that 25.4.0 is a release that fixes a dozen or so small bugs that haven't affected me, but most people aren't. And 25.4.1 is a total mystery, with nothing in the prerelease section. Can we get the public "what's new" page updated to say that 25.4.0 fixes a bunch of the top…

Have 'Select All Unused' in the Swatches panel look inside symbols
Right now when you choose 'Select All Unused', it selects colors that are in use inside of symbols and they will delete if you are not careful.
If the color is not directly placed on the artboard it seems Illustrator can't tell it really is in use.
Deleting the swatches results in 'Deleted Global Color' swatches appearing in your Swatch panels.

Inputing data in chart causes crash
Please fix this god-awful program. Just simply changing the data in the chart tool often causes the program to crash. I have to repair and reboot at least once a week just to fix problems with Illustrator. I don't care about new features ... please, please fix bugs that cause crashes that have existed for decades in the program!
