Illustrator 24.3 crashes when changing the colour of a gradient handle if the Layers palette is open and on-screen. Video above is a freshly re-installed Illustrator in a brand new user account (macOS 10.15.6).

Adobe illustraitor new beta version freezing with M1 chip
I have recently upgraded to the Macboook pro M1 chip, and my adobe illustraior would not work at all, freezing and needing to force restart everytime I tried to use it. Adobe then released the Beta version, compatible with the Silicon M1 chip and I upgraded, however now it seems llike my Illustraitor has a lag.
Every 5 seconds or couple of movements, the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and then catches up. I have restarted, reopened and no change. I am unsure of what else to do as work is now impossible, if anyone has experienced anything similar…1 vote -
Export for screens does not remember the last folder in the export path and always defaults back to PNG after quit
When exporting for screens, I usually want SVG. When I quit and restart Illustrator, the last folder in the export path is forgotten. Additionally, Illustrator wants to export a PNG. I have to set both back to what they were before.

Visible brush stroke using touchscreen desktop (MS Surface Studio)
Whilst drawing directly by hand onto the screen of my Microsoft Surface Studio 2, occasionally Illustrator decides it isn't going to make the path I'm drawing visible. Use the mouse and the brush stroke is visible.
I'm unsure if this issue is exclusive to this type of desktop (rare, I know), or if tablet / Wacom pad users experience this too? Either way, not knowing where you've drawn doesn't make life easy!

PEN TOOL IS BROKEN
Option/alt+click on anchor doesn't work. It used to make anchor points to curve OR corner. It even says "Pen: Make Corner" at the bottom of the window in the "current tool" field, but actually it just creates NEW PATH.
And the Anchor point tool icon changes to "Pen tool - start path" icon on hover.So you've actually managed to broke the most essential feature of Illustrator - which is to draw and modify vectors. Awesome job!
It would be actually rather funny if it wasn't COSTING ME MONEY THE WHOLE TIME FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIX IT!

Locking everything exept one vector
Hi, a week ago I updated from Ai 2015 to Ai 2021 and had this issue a couple of times, while isolating a vector I get stuck in it, everything else becomes grayish and I can't get back in to all the layers, I can interact with them however there's gray over all of them, hope the image explains it better. If I save the file and close it and open it, it's still the same problem, i guess its some feature, but i don't know how to deactivate it and haven't found any help online. Thanks!

Perte d'une fonctionnalité qui était très pratique : l'arborescence lors de l'import de fichiers DXF.
Depuis la version 25.1 perte d'une fonctionnalité qui était très pratique : l'arborescence lors de l'import de fichiers DXF.
Lors de l'import de fichiers DXF à partir d'un logiciel CAD (Solid Edge), chaque pièce de l'assemblage était reconnue par Illustrator (1 pièce = 1 calque).
Ce n'est plus le cas depuis les dernières mise à jour (dernière mise à jour qui fonctionne : 25.0.1)3 votes -

Bug with text with DXF exported from Illustrator
With the new update 25.2.3 I have problems exporting DXF files from Illustrator.
Each time I do it the texts change of size to a very, very small one.
I export graphics to use them in Automatized Cut Machines but the texts do not appear in the right size. I had to keep and old version of illustrator 25.0 in order to be able to still use those machines.
What can I do?

Eyedropper creates buggy hidden/invisible/non-existent appearances on text objects
This bug only seems to work on Windows.
Illustrator version: 25.2.1As discussed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/buggy-hidden-invisible-non-existent-appearances/m-p/11964528/thread-id/271978#M272107
Creating a default text object, selecting it, then clicking on it with the eyedropper tool creates an invisible/pseudo-existing appearance on the text. This is evident in that going to the top menu shows that Object > Expand... is greyed out while Object > Expand Appearance is not. You can also see in the Layers panel that the text object has its selection circle filled with grey, indicating that it has an appearance. Yet checking the Appearance panel shows that there is no appearance at all…

Recovery Files Missing, Autorecovery enabled
I had auto-recovery on before Illustrator crashed however when I restarted the program I received a prompt that said auto-recovery is now disabled. I tried to manually recover the files from the data recovery folder but there are no files in the folder even though it say the most recent update was when I last opened the missing files.

Scrubby Zoom Suddenly Stops Working
2019 MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7. Adobe Illustrator 25.2.
Scrubby zoom suddenly stops working, even though GPU and Animated Zoom are still enabled within Preferences. This happens once or twice a week; the only way I have found to resolve is restarting the MacBook.
It happens while working in relatively small/simple documents, all of a sudden, without making any changes to Preferences.
4 votesAnimated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.
