Illustrator loses links to artwork that is renamed in library
When I rename a graphic I am reusing throughout my file, all links to that graphic are lost and when I try to copy layers containing those linked graphics, Illustrator reports the following errors:
- "the document contains pdf objects that have been reinterpreted"
- "an unknown imaging construct"
- "an unknown shading type"If I have many instances of that artwork in multiple layers, it takes a lot of time to have to find every single instance, delete it, drag the renamed graphic in, move it to the correct layer, resize and rotate, and reapply the styles I had…

Center points are not visible
Guide objects have lost their center points. I have "Show Center" turned on in the Attributes panel and "Show Edges" turn on, and still, the Center-Points are not visible on object guides.
Object guides used to all have center-points showing all the time, as long as the guides were turned on. Now the center-points are missing.

Missing Text on Menus?
I'm working on a 21.5 inch late 2015 image, 2.8 with 8GB using Mojave. I'm not quite sure what steps are happening and if there is a hardware issue on my side, but when I use Illustrator, there is an intermittent bug that seems to happen. Here's how it goes:
Using Illustrator, usually the pen tool.
The spinning beach ball pops up.
The screen freezes for a few seconds.
When it pops back into play, none of the menus have text. Literally, NONE, even those outside of Illustrator (Chrome, the Apple drop downs to restart/shut down)Is it just destroying…

in Version 24.02 when trying to export a single PDF with all art boards AI will only export single pages, why?
I updated to 24.02 this morning and now I am unable to save PDF files as multi-page documents. No matter what setting I select AI will only export whatever artboard I am currently working on at the time of export. This was not an issue for me yesterday. So frustrated.

Updated UI has some issues - Tired of Updating - Tired of Bugs
Happy that Adobe continues to try to update the products. That being said I'm a little worn. I constantly get notifications from Adobe Creative Cloud App about updates and there seems to be some issues. Still working out of a previous version of InDesign for numerous reasons. Weirdly found all of my Creative Cloud docs (of which there's not too many luckily) in the trash can this AM. I was able to recover a heart skip and waste of time later. Additionally the Illustrator Update... Well... Just looks sloppy. Help me, help you... And give us a good products with…

Nothing works under the file tab
When I click on any of the options under the file tab absolutely nothing happens. Cant save, place, export, create new, etc. It seems like everything else is working perfectly. I can hear my computer whirl when I click on things like it’s working and registering, but when I click on anything under file I hear nothing, like it’s not registering that I’m trying to save. I really need to export these files for a project by next week so this is urgent!!

Illustrator 2020 on 4K monitor
Has Illustrator been designed to work on 4K monitors with AMD GPUs? Because my experience is that it isn't; the performance is horrific. Same goes for InDesign and Bridge. Will this ever be addressed?

`let` declarations not supported in .jsx files
Running this script:
let foo = "Foo";
const bar = "Bar";
alert(foo + bar);produces the following error:
Error 25: Expected: ;.
Line: 1
-> let foo = "Foo";However, replacing
letwithconstworks fine. According to this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/legacy-and-extend-script-engine.html), ES6 language features are ostensibly supported, but onlyvarandconstbindings seem to work.1 vote
