v23.0.6 Freezing when opening file
Frequently Illustrator has been freezing when attempting to open recently created Illustrator files. These files can be created or modified from any recent version of Illustrator (versions for 2018 and 2019), but only seem to freeze when opened with Illustrator v23.0.6. The files seemingly will open just fine on v23.0.4 or below (I did not test every version, but I can verify that v23.0.4 works and checked on 2 versions of v22.xx.xx). The freezing occurs irregardless of the computer's operating system (Windows or Mac). It doesn't freeze on all files—but I don't know what variables are causing it. The files…

Scatter brush not able to customise after created
When I create a scatter brush and then try to customize it after I've drawn a few strokes with it the "OK" just turns blue and nothing happens when I press it. Never happened before today and I'm not doing any weird brush, just a basic leaf-looking brush. Pretty annoying since I gotta either nail it at first or create a new one again. cheers!

Copy and paste doesn't always work
I've been experiencing problems with Illustrator. When I copy an object with the ctrl + c button and try to paste them it randomly doesn't work.
The problem is that I can't replicate it on command. At first I thought it had something to do with the laptop that I used, but it also happens on a freshly installed desktop.
My version of Illustrator is 22.0.1
I also checked the copy paste functions under the edit tab, and when I copied something it didn't show the ability to paste it. It could also only have something to do with copying…

23.0.3 keyboard shortcuts stop working
after roughly 15 minutes of designing, my illustrator keyboard shortcuts no long work. When I select a shortcut (eg command z, or command s), I simply get a system error sound, but no action. This is true for ALL shortcuts
i am then forced to use the menu items, or restart illustrator to keep working normally.

Align distribute center doesn't work
Trying to use Align>Distribute center with Align to Selection selected - on a group of elements.
Elements arent distributed symmetrically but seem to randomly distribute, some elements very close together and others very far apart. Same issue has been repeating since updating to 23.0.1. Working on MacOS Mojave 10.14.
For example the attached 3 elements were aligned with horizontal center distribution, but the center object moved close to the left text block.

Selection Tool - not showing box when shape is selected?
When I am using the Selection Tool, it doesn't show the box it did before round the selected shape. So I can't alter the shape.
It seems to be filled in green corners exactly like the direct selection tool.
I have closed Illustrator and opened it again.

Enormous issues with Illustrator 2019, OS High Sierra
Illustrator 2019 is acting very strangely. If I undo once, it goes back several steps and I cannot bring back those steps. It removes layers and artwork without any actions. When I save, it removes several actions every time.
If I quit the program completely and restart, it acts normally for a few steps and then starts the whole disappearing act again. I have re-installed the program a few times recently but the same thing keeps happening. It's extremely time-consuming and frustrating!

CC Library Colours automatically adding themselves to Swatches when used
Hey there,
My team and I have recently noticed an error occurring when using the CC Colour Library.
When selecting an object and then a CC registered colour, we get an error message that states: "A different colour with the same name already exists in your document. Please rename this colour to use it in this document."
What we have noticed is that the colour automatically adds itself to swatches the first time you use it in a new document and then this error pops up every time. As such, how can we disable this function so that this doesn't…
