Bounding box suddenly disappears using Selection Tool
Suddenly disappears, but when a select scale then select the "Selection Tool" again the Bounding box reappears. When it is gone, togglingthe quick key, has no effect though t changes the menu state for turning it on and off. Also, when it can't be seen, a small icon for the bounding box is in the corner, occasionally.
Sound familiar to anyone else?

Graphic Styles Panel Crashes Illustrator (macOS Movaje)
Illustrator CC 2019 on macOS Mojave becomes unusable after loading the "Graphic Styles" panel. After the panel loads, there's a brief beach ball followed by the "Not enough memory to process the appearance" error message. The menus then become "greyed out" and the only way to proceed is to force quit illustrator and restart.
On the surface I can avoid loading the "Graphic Styles" panel, but there are other panels that I need to load that only load with the "Graphic Styles" panel attached to them.
I've deleted the AI preferences and uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator and the result is the same.

Illustrator freezes when runs in a loop for 500 times. So inside loop only I am adding the document, saving to the disk and close the document
Here is the code
for(var i=0;i<500;i++){
var doc = app.documents.add();
doc.saveAs(File('~/Desktop/Test'+(i+1)))
doc.close();
}
Run, this code and you will never able to create 500 documents. I use automation a lot and in one go I have to loop over 1000 documents that have graphics inside it. BUt here in sample cript I am not doing nothing just crating 500 documents without any graphics, still Illustrator frezees.I have attached the screenshots for memory…

illustrator wont open file windows
I have searched the support site and user voice with no results.
When I attempt to drag an *.ai file from the explorer window to Illustrator, or when I double click the file, it does not open. When I double click the file, Illustrator opens or switches to the window, my cursor briefly shows the 'thinking' animation but nothing happens.
- There is no freeze or crash
- Restart of the application did not fix the issue.
- File>>Open is the only way I can open files
- This happens to all files whether created with CC 2019 or earlier versions

Embedded images are lost when saving as a PDF
When I save a .ai file as a .pdf, many of the embedded .psd images are missing when I open the PDF in Acrobat. I have reinstalled Illustrator (2019) and Acrobat (Pro DC), but the problem persists. I have tried saving using different pdf formats, but the images are still missing in the PDF. If, however, I open the PDF in Illustrator, the images reappear. Thoughts?

Crash in windows 10 64-bit when using trackpad to scroll in layers panel
I've crashed twice today, both times while scrolling the layers panel down using the track pad. Two fingers on the track pad and start scrolling and crash. All changes to open files get lost as there is no recovery files to open. It is a hard crash, no bug report screen pops up, the app just aborts.

Items inside of clipping masks do not get recolored like they used to using the Recolor tool. You have to directly select them now and manually recolor.

Missing embedded graphic upon export
I am creating a poster in Illustrator. I had a linked .png file that I had converted to black and white to use as a raster texture effect over my vector artwork. I accidentally had set my color mode to RGB when I created the file, so I converted to cmyk. When I had exported to RGB previous to this, everything exported fine. However, when I converted to cmyk, and I tried exporting, the raster image was missing upon export. I searched the web and tried saving the image as a TIFF & relinking, then as a PSD file and…

Paragraph style tab numeric measure is wrong
v22.1/23/0.1
Windows 10Both v22.1 and 23.0.1 show the wrong numeric 'X' measure when setting or adjusting a tab stop in a paragraph style. The measure shown is inflated both according to the ruler below the tab stop, and tabs set using the tab window. The numeric measure is inflated by an increasing amount the further the tab is from the left margin, and remains inflated whether units are set to mm or inches.
eg. 20mm tab stop shows as 29.8mm in the paragraph style dialog-

One column toolbar is not remembered and becomes two columns each launch
Toolbar does not remember the one column setting if "Show the home screen when no documents are open" is uncheck.
Step to reproduce:
- Reset all settings

- Open preferences
- Uncheck "Show the home screen when no documents are open"
- Check "Use Legacy File New Interface"

You must reset the workspace every time you open Illustrator to keep one column toolbar
