Artboards and arrowheads disappear
Mac OSX 10.13.6 Illustrator 24.0 Creative Cloud
Opened a file
strokes with arrowheads to be strokes and artboards that were present when the file was closed to still be there.
Strokes were dropped to shapes and grouped and the artboards were gone.I've seen this before and I can't figure out why it's happening. I have a file that I just worked in a few days ago and now when I open it, all the strokes I had with arrowheads are broken down into a shape for the line and a shape for each arrowhead and then the whole thing…

Current bugs that are making it nearly impossible to get work done
As I type this, I'm reinstalling AI for the second time this month. This time without saved prefs. Please, Adobe, make this storied and remarkable piece of software STABLE before you talk about giving us new features. I don't want a new icon, I want not to have to explain to my boss that I didn't get anything done this morning because my industry-standard software didn't work.

Extremely slow resize objects selected with multiple sublayers.
The performance of resizing object is killing my Adobe Illustrator. Waiting (5 minutes don't helps).
But If I scale the same objects but in a flat layer (single layer) it is done in miliseconds.
The problem is only when I scale objects in multiple layers. But i need it to use in Adobe Character Animation
The PC is very good (64GB RAM, 3700x procesor, Nvidia 2070 Super )

Icon font shows Tofu
I created a font with emoji. I installed it in the Application support/Adobe/Fonts folder as I do with all fonts I test. Emoji characters like duck show two Tofu characters, although in the glyphs panel it is displayed correctly, please see attached screenshot.
In all other applications, the character can be displayed.

Variable Font bug: "wiggling" top of "U"
Download and unzip https://www.dropbox.com/s/3b6k0izkm5ma3dy/200719-AdobeVFBug.zip?dl=1
Install the font from font/DaikonVF-mini.ttf
Run Illustrator 24.2.1
Type "AU" and choose the Daikon VF font
In the property bar, click the Variable Font button and move the weight slider between the extreme locations. Observe how the top of "U" "wiggles" (jumps up and down). This is shown in videos/DaikonVF-Illustrator-24.2.1,.mp4
The same problem occurs in InDesign 15.1.1
The same problem occurs in DTL OTmaster 7.9 and in FontView 2019 (an open source app built from https://github.com/googlefonts/fontview ) — both apps use older versions of the FreeType library.
The problem no longer occurs in FontView 2020 (which I’ve…

Asset export password bug 24.2.3
Illustrator info: 24.2.3 (64bit)
System info:
Windows 10Steps:
If I export artboards to pdf using the asset export window - each file will be password protected without me specifying it.This only happens if the last pdf I saved manualy (using save as) was password protected. Asset export will use the same password that I entered for this file.
This would be a nice feature if it was an option you could select or de select, but not when it happens without informing me.
The only workaround I know of, is to save a dummy pdf with the correct…

Graphics Errors in Big Sur
I have a brand new Mac Mini 2020, just released. I have been having weird glitches with graphics rendering, and I found this post
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/40978006-macos-big-sur-rendering-bugLooks like it has been closed for commenting, and blame on Beta. However, I still have the issue. I am on Big Sur 11.0.1 on a brand new machine running AI 2021
I took advice and disable GPU Performance, and it seems to be working now.
Just a heads up

Colours of Layers defined in documents saved by version 23.1.1 & prior are shifted one colour down the list by Illustrator 24.0
When a document created by or saved via Illustrator 23.1.1 or prior is opened in version 24, some (but not all) the Layers are incorrectly set in the colour immediately below the correct colour in the default Layers colour list.
For example, a Layer that was set in “Brick Red” in a version 23.1.1 or prior document, is automatically changed to be in “Olive” when opened in version 24.0. “Olive” is immediately below “Brick Red” in the default colour list.
This error is consistent across many different Illustrator CC documents - e.g. every document that I tested & that had…

Please fix export SVG, Adobe illustrator, AI ruins vector graphics
I used AI to create vector graphics for a game for around 3 months, until now, I moved to Affinity designer until AI fix their SVG export
In AI a problem was always present:
The SVG export.Adobe Illustrator ruins SVG graphic files:
- Gaps between shapes
- Gradient color unwanted alterations
- Layers might overlay incorrectly
- Wrong transparency percentage
(All the above only after exporting in SVG format)
(I only work using vector graphics, so the issues are all for vector graphics)
Please, fix vector graphic exporting in SVG format

Object move increments is off
Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6
Illustrator 24.3
Updated 09/26/2020Checked preferences, changed to .001 px and rebooted illustrator
Selecting an object and pressing the arrow keys the object would move a point at a time, now it is like I am always holding the shift (10px) instead.
After the update I select an object and try to move it a point or two moves it randomly in every direction but the direction I would like.

SVG files doesn't open correctly. - Illustrator
I have added as attachment the .svg files which aren't opened correctly, it is kinda only showing the filling.
This problem accures in Illustrator Windows, and iPad OS, didn't tested on mac right now, but i don't have big hope.
My guts tell me that there is a newer SVG standard, which isn't implemented yet?

App crashes very often and linked graphics lose their link connection
macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Since upgraded to Catalina Illustrator crashes very often (approximately 4-5 times in 6 hours of a working session ) and recovery files' linked graphics lose their connection to the root files even though they were embedded. Every single recovery file' links should be relinked one by one again and again. I've relinked the attached file links 4 times so far. Please find an immediate solution to this issue.1 vote -

Resizing rotated rectangle using selection tool drags wrong side
If I use the rectangle tool to create a square/rectangle, rotate it (for example, 45 degrees), then try to resize using the selection tool, it resizes the wrong side. For example, if I drag the bottom left side, it moves the bottom right side.
I've included a screen record demonstrating the issue.
Operating system is Mac, Mojave, 10.14.6
Illustrator version is 25.0.1 (though this bug has been noticed in older versions)
