Zooming
When in the preset zoom menu, some of the options have commas where they should have decimals. When I click on the 66,67% zoom option it actually zooms in 6667% when it should zoom in 66.67%. Also, in the title of the document, it shows the zoom percentage with a comma instead of a decimal point.

Illustrator does not embed a color profile when exporting artwork to PNG format
When exporting to JPG format there is option to select color profile and an option to embed the chosen color profile in file. There is no such support for PNG files and I find many times I am asked for a transparent PNG file for print work and am unable to embed color profile.

Constrain with Shift key not working
I'm trying to move the bottom line of a text box.
I select the box's line with open arrow, hold down the SHIFT key to constrain - and it automatically deselects the type box that I was trying to move. I can select the line with the open arrow and move it that way, but it's too easy to make an error and shift the box. I need the corners to remain perfectly square which is why I'm holding the Shift key.
I've had this problem with the last few upgrades.
I'm an Adobe Illustrator user for more than 25…

actions slow and crashing
All actions that ran smoothly on Illustrator CC 2019 are slow and most of the time crash the new update (CC 2020). Actions are meant to speed up workflow, not slow it down.

crash after windows update
Every time since I installed the latest windows update (KB5407453, KB4509096) that I try to open or create a new file adobe illustrator crashes. The crash report is attached.
3 votesFrom the looks of it it seems to be crashing with GPU. Here is what I can suggest
1. TEST: Disable GPU from preference panel and then create a anew document to see if it still crashes
2. FIX: Update GPU driver – each manufacturer will have a different way to get and install drivers. some help here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-gpu-performance-driver-update.html3. IF NOTHING WORKS: Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

Gradient panel causes bugs
The gradient panel really makes me nervous. On rare occasions when dropping a color onto a gradient handle to change it, Illustrator suddenly just closes without a warning. Just gone in a split second along with all my work. No auto save. Nothing. It even won't show my recently opened files when I open it back up. This issue also happened the last time Illustrator was updated but then it was fixed. Please fix it again as I'm always SUPER nervous when I have to change settings for a gradient. I have no idea on how to reproduce this, other…

Rearrange All Artboards ignores locked layers
When I use the command Rearrange All Artboards from the Artboards panel object on locked layers are not moved with the artboard.
To test make a document with two artboards and two layers. Draw anything on Layer 1 for each artboard them copy it exactly to Layer 2, or just duplicate Layer 1. Hide or lock a layer then use Rearrange All Artboards to rearrange the dartboards. The objects on the locked or hidden layers do not move with the artboard.
The two screenshots show before and after using Rearrange All Artboards with one layer locked.

Can't preview new graphic assets in Libraries within Illustrator
When I add a new graphic asset to an existing Library, I cannot get a preview of it until I restart the program. Instead, I get the animated square indicating that the preview is being generated, but it never refreshes. I often have multiple CC programs open, and the graphic is always immediately reviewable in Photoshop and InDesign, so this is limited to Illustrator in my experience.
I am running Mac OS 10.15.1

Selection is not visible in Illustrator 2020
I just installed the latest version of Illustrator and it's pretty horrible to use. I cannot see the direct selection points on any object. I have tried toggling show bounding box and it doesn't make any difference. When an object is selected it is not highlighted so it's impossible to tell whether it is selected or not.

Importing: An unknown error has occurred.
Attempting to import a file that has multiple artboards, I get an error that states "An Unknown Error has Occurred" and after that I can no longer place any artwork what so ever without first quitting Illustrator.
- I am on Mac OS10.14.6 and AI 24.0
- File import, select file, checking import options, selecting which page/artboard and the place.
- It should place the art but
- instead deadlocks you from importing any files of any type after that without a hard reboot.
