Trim view is not available to record in the Actions
Trim view is not available to record in the Actions window. Solving this would hugely benefit my workflow, by making trim view a recorded action and giving it a shortcut.

Variable Font not working properly
Hello, I am a type designer and am working on a variable script font. The variable font file work fine everywhere else except in Adobe products.
It appears the sidebearings aren't adjusting with the changes in width. Very odd. You can see whats happening in the first file. The second is on the Axis Praxis website.
I've spoken with Glyphs App developers and they said it's a glitch with Illustrator, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your fonts and file to figure out what is going on here. -
Misaligned patterns on SVG import
When opening an SVG file, pattern fills are incorrectly offset on both x and y axis.
An inconvenient workaround is to reapply the pattern (Select shape, select pattern swatch). This will then position the pattern correctly.
It would be great if the pattern was correctly positioned on file load.
Tested on Windows 10. Illustrator 23.0.6 64bit
See attached PNG for example.
pattern-test.svg used in the screenshot:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="50" height="50" viewBox="0 0 50 50">
<defs>
<pattern id="New_Pattern" data-name="New Pattern" width="10" height="10" viewBox="0 0 10 10" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<rect width="10" height="10" fill="blue"/>
<circle cx="5" cy="5" r="5" fill="red" />
</pattern>

Buggy strokes, unwanted anti-aliasing and wrong sizes on export.
I have just completed a project where 1800 tool icons had to be redesigned for a CAD program. Exporting my icons to single and @2x PNGs butchers my icons.
If strokes are set to outside, export to PNG invariably produces unwanted anti-aliasing on vertically or horizontally stacked pixels. (see image 1.png). I have a hunch this only occurs with documents that have over 100 artboards. It cannot be easily reproduced with a document containing only a single artboard. (if someone from tech support wants the document, let me know. I cannot share it publicly.)
When the arrow up cursor is…

CC Libraries import yields progress indicator for thumbnail
With the most recent release of Illustrator (23.1.1) on a Mac running Catalina 10.15 Beta, any time I drag an item into the Libraries panel, a thumbnail fails to appear (instead I get a persistent animated progress indicator). I'm able to see the correct thumbnail of the imported item in other Adobe apps (Photoshop and InDesign), as well as online (Libraries --> View on Website). Only after I restart Illustrator do they appear.

Fix Adobe Illustrator CC 2020 Type Library Reference - VB scripts return error
We need to always keep the version of Adobe Illustrator CC up to date.
Recently, the CC version used by the company has been upgraded from 2019 to 2020.We use the attached .NET Illustrator library module.
As with other similar cases, I believe Adobe will solve it.
Older versions work fine.

Update didn't update Recovery folder location resulting in data loss
I just lost a bunch of work because Illustrator hadn't updated the DataRecovery folder location when it upgraded. When I went to preferences, the location was set to a non-existent folder which had been the default location for a version 23 but had been removed by the update to version 24. This is a huge oversight and needs to be corrected. To be clear, I had not set this location manually, although I have now set the location to the default folder for version 24 (which did exist, but no files). This location needs to update automatically with updates, even…

Window jumps to new size when I grab resize thumb in bottom right corner
When I grab the resize thumb in the bottom right of a window, the window size jumps. In the two attached screenshots, the first is where the window was before I grabbed the thumb, and the second is where the window jumped to after grab. I can resize if I continue to hold the thumb, but the thumb position never matches the cursor position.

Pen tool shortcuts not working. Pen tool always wants to start a new path (with asterisk next to it)
Mac OS 10.14.6
Illustrator 23.1.1
When selecting the pen tool it used to change to the add point tool when I hovered over the selected path, and if I hovered over an existing selected point, it would change to minus point tool. Holding down option would allow you to move the handles on a point. None of these shortcuts work any more. I can't continue an existing path either, the pen tool always wants to start a new path (with a little asterisk next to it).

Illustrator 23.0.1 crashing almost immediately after launch
I am running Mojave 10.14.2 (system screenshot attached). Every time I start Illustrator, it runs for 5-10 seconds and then crashes. There are no error messages; it just dies. The same thing happens with InDesign. Photoshop appears to run without issue.
I have tried looking for updates in the CC app, but it says that the programs are all up to date.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software, but the issue remains.
I have seen responses for similar issues where Adobe techs say that the issue has been fixed on version 23.0.1, but that is not the case;…

***** / skew / tilt angle disappear
when I transform an object the rotation angle remains visible in the transformation panel while that the inclination angle disappears ... why? it's very frustrating ...
In InDesign this is possible and correct .... not in illustrator.It is not possible to reset or reproduce the angle of inclination on another object.
