"Apply gradient across stroke" shows terrible banding compared to a standard linear gradient
When applying a gradient to a stroke with the "apply gradient across stroke" option selected, the resulting gradient is very poor quality, with lots of visible banding.
In the attached image the top gradient is formed by feathering a rectangle with corner radius of 31.235 px by 20px. The quality is fine, although feathering makes specifying specific colours a hassle.
The middle object is the same rectangle with a 40pt stroke, with a white-to-black gradient applied with "apply gradient across stroke" selected. The gradient is very uneven, showing clear banding.
The bottom is a the same linear gradient applied as…

Cant see entire font list in gyphs tab?
When I open a New Document and want to view glyphs font list with Entire Fonts selected the lower drop-down doesn't change?! The only way I can get it working is by selecting one of the Adobe templates then go to Gylphs tab and then the font drop-down menu works. Odd, then after that all of my new documents work in the Gylphs tab that didn't work previously?! Once I close Illustrator I'm back to square one again. I have exactly the same set up as 2 colleagues I work with and theirs work from the off.

Missing panels - restarting Illustrator brings them back
On more than one Mac we have an issue in Illustrator 23.0.1 where some of the panels disappear and we can't get them back without quitting Illustrator and reloading it. Resetting the workspace doesn't work and neither does choosing one of the missing panels from the Windows menu.
I did also have this on InDesign CC2018 but that has since been fixed in 2019.

Illustrator crashes and causes computer to restart.
While using Adobe Illustrator, after updating, it has been crashing and causing my computer to shut down after sometimes only a few minutes up to a few hours of use.
I have used InDesign and Photoshop just as much (as well as Chrome and many other applications) and I don't have any issues with crashing or shutting down. Only when Illustrator is running.Attached are my PC specifications.

Undo command and Hide
Undo command ignores whether or not objects are hidden. Rather, Undo command does not undo hide/unhide, so hidden objects are moved or modified, depending on what is being undone, while hidden.

Illustrator CC 2019 won't embed fonts in PDFs
I'm trying to save my Illustrator file as a pdf but it's not saving (embedding) the fonts along with the pdf when I do so. However, if I open that same file in Illustrator CC 2018 or 2017 I can save out a pdf with the fonts embedded just fine.
Note: this happens whether or not I get the message "The preset specifies that some of the fonts are not embedded. This application always embeds fonts." in the Summary section of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box.
I'm using Illustrator CC 2019 on a Mac Pro running MacOS 10.13.6.

Batch in Actions strips the action's effects and results in no file preview
If I manually start an action for a file, I have a preview for the resulting re-saved file and it has been altered properly based upon my action steps. But, if I batch files with the action, no preview is generated and my file has not taken on any of the the changes the action gives it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I think there's a huge bug with this function.

Illustrator won't let me toggle lock or visibility
I'm having trouble with adobe illustrator. It won't allow me to use the toggle lock/unlock or the toggle visibility function. I've tried closing and starting the program up again. I've even attempted to work from a different computer. Nothing I have done has helped and the bug always reappears after a few seconds. Is there a way I can correct this bug?

AI 2019 is not using Intel UHD 630 for HW acceleration
We are using AI 2019 or multiple devices, two of them are Mac Mini 2018s with intel 6-core core i5/i7 and UHD 630. One of them has eGPU RX 580 8GB. While AI recognizes GPUs on both Minis, it shows UHD 630 on the one without eGPU and RX 580 on the one with eGPU, it does not seem to use the UHD 630. I tried to use multiple kinds of hardware monitoring software, but the UHD 630 is not being used at all and the performance is terrible. While RX 580 on the other mac is heavily utilized, often…

Color Gray printing as brown when saving from Illustrator CC v23.0.2 to CS4
MacOS Mojave v10.14.4 & Illustrator CC v23.0.2
When saving a file from Illustrator CC v23.0.2 to CS4 the gray colors print as brown but if I save the file as the current Illustrator CC v23.0.2 it prints as gray as it should. It is a CMYK document with only K values. Discovered this from printing an older document created 08/2019 then printing the new document. The old document was also saved from the version at that date to CS4 but the new document saving to CS4 printed as brown not gray.1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Illustrator underperforming on Mojave
Since updating to Mojave, Illustrator is sluggish at best. Moving a page activates the spinning wheel every time before moving the page. Almost unusable for work.
I am using the latest version of CS suite, Illustrator and Mojave.
