Separations preview imac 5k very slowThere is some problem with Overprint preview turned on, everything becomes verry laggy. I'm on iMac 2019 27" with 40gb of RAM, SSD drive, no plugins. No matter which document is opened, the problem is same - very slow illustrator movement. Only sollution is to run Illustrator in Low Resolution mode, then the problem does not exist. 5 votes

Crashing when scaling objects and file disappears after savingProgram often crashes when I'm scaling large objects. Also, I saved a file that I had been working on for more than a week and closed the application like I usually do but when I reopened it? File gone. Erased. Can't even find an earlier version of it. Then I got a bunch of note and word docs titled "debug" full of HTML gibberish I couldn't understand. Couldn't recover or find file in deleted cloud files or recycling bin on desktop. 1 vote

Recent file history missing on app launchSince updating to the latest version, on starting Illustrator I just get the "start a new file fast" section but no recent file history icons. Once I've opened and then closed a file the app returns to the home screen and then my recent history is showing but the Start A New File Fast bit has gone. Once I close illustrator down and re-open it the history disappears again :( Using Illustrator v24 via a Creative Cloud Suite account on Windows 10. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and re-installing. No change. 8 votes

Unknown Error [PARM]I was starting work and clicked on Adobe Illustrator for the first time today, it immediately gave me this error and I hadn't even opened a document as yet. This is the first time this error has appeared for me and I do not know why. I closed the program and restarted it, the error didn't reoccur. I have a pretty new powerful PC (within a year old). I have attached my PC specs for reference and all programs are up to date. Thanks

File opens with one color value & the values change when placed in a new documentHi There, I am working in the latest release of AI on a MacBook Pro OS 10.15.4 (Catalina) and I am reporting a bug I've encountered. To preface, I don't know the age of the original logo file. The artwork is a PMS chip value, saved in an RGB document. To get the RGB value of the logo I opened the file and inspect the color. Since it was a PMS, I go to the RGB view either in the color panel or the selector in the tool bar & I see a specific value. (0/53/98) when I paste the… 2 votes

Effects Preview Checkbox Has No Effect After First CheckVersion 24.0 (64-bit) When applying an effect to a path in Illustrator, checking the "Preview" checkbox will preview that effect, but unchecking the box does not return the path back to its original shape. To test: Use the pen tool to draw a multi-segment shape. 
 Select the shape
 Click Effect->Distort & Transform->Roughen
 Click the Preview checkbox (the effect should be applied)
 Click the Preview checkbox again (the effect will not be removed)I've tested this with most of the previewable effects in the Effects menu and they all behave the same. 13 votes

Artboard MissingWhen I open the saved file, I find my artboards missing. The weird part is it saves my work. So every time I open the file I have to create new artboards for the layout I had done. 
 Attached Adobe Files consists of 2 layouts:
 Page 1: Original Layout
 Page 2: When I re-open the file. I find all the artboards missing except for a default artboard.Very frustrating to recreate the artboards every time. Thanks

Preference settings for Type have changedPrevious versions of Illustrator allowed me to set my preferences for type to this: Size/Leading = 0.5pts 
 Baseline shift = 0.5ptsBut in Illustrator cc 2020 v24.2.2 it is no longer possible to do that. This is what I am getting: Size/Leading = 1pt 
 Baseline shift = 1ptIt seems like 1pt is now the lowest you can go. 
 Please help.1 vote

new update (24.2.3) brings back Thai language problem when creating outlinenew update (24.2.3) brings back Thai language problem when creating outline Thai font deleted or missing when create outline. 
 Most of the time it happens to few or last fonts of the line.NOTE: weird thing is when newly launch the app and open CC2020 file first, Create Outline works fine. But once I open another file which is legacy file eg. CS6, this issue suddenly happens. After that if I continue working on CC2020 file, this issue also happens on CC2020 file. 
 The problem will reset once I quit the app and relaunch. And happen again if I open…2 votes

Cannot copy and Paste text from illustrator to mail or other programsIn the previous versions of Illustrator I could copy and paste text into other programs. Since I have updated to version 24.2.3 all attempts to paste text elsewhere result in an un-editable pdf. I found some ridiculous work arounds online, but it's serious affecting my work flow. I'm running Mohave 10.14.6. Tried monkeying with the clipboard settings to no avail. 1 vote

Pressing Ctrl + Win sends the active object backwardIf you have at least 2 objects on the artboard and the top one is selected, pressing Control + the Windows key on Windows 10 sends the active object backward one step. It's a keyboard shortcut that doesn't appear to be editable in Keyboard Shortcuts in case it interferes with that shortcut being used for something else. 3 votes

Properties panel broken since last updateSince the last update the Properties panel is broken. Even if there is enough room for all information in the panel, it shows up cropped, with a scrollbar on the side. I have to drag the panel out of it’s window and then back again to fix this, every time I start Illustrator. 3 votes

Custom Brush doesn’t get affected by colorI am not able to change the color for my custom brushes. Whenever I select a new color for the brush, the brush still paints black. I have opened and closed the program several times but nothing has worked. I have deleted and made new brushes, but I am still having the same problem. 1 voteThis happens if the colorization method for a brush is chosen to be just None. Changing it to be Tints or any other form the dropdown in the brush’s options solves the problem.
