Importing: An unknown error has occurred.
Attempting to import a file that has multiple artboards, I get an error that states "An Unknown Error has Occurred" and after that I can no longer place any artwork what so ever without first quitting Illustrator.
- I am on Mac OS10.14.6 and AI 24.0
- File import, select file, checking import options, selecting which page/artboard and the place.
- It should place the art but
- instead deadlocks you from importing any files of any type after that without a hard reboot.

Fonts missing and say I need to re log in
When I open a past project from creative cloud folder It directs me to find a missing font. But the font finder doesn't sync to my library.

Plus when I export the project as a export safe for web... png 24 the file export look pixellated and not a vector file.

Illustrator 23.0.6 MacOS High Sierra slowdown, possible memory leak.
I have noticed over the last several versions that if I leave Illustrator running for more than a few days without quitting (with and without any files open), that my system gets less and less responsive, sometimes to the point where it seems completely locked up other than cursor movement. A quick mouse over the Illustrator Icon in the dock shows that the Application is Not Responding. I have also noticed the same thing happens in Photoshop. I'm not sure if there is a memory leak in these apps or in the Creative Cloud Core environment somewhere. I took a…

Using the newest version of Illustrator won't let me use new files for older illustrator versions (ex: illustrator at school)
Opening Illustrator files created last night on the newer version on my home computer won't load at school on an older version of Illustrator. The files are completely missing artwork. You can see all the components on the recently opened page, but when you open the file. The artwork doesn't load.
1 voteHi Deborah,
We have bumped up the file format in AI 2020 so any file created in AI 2020 is not compatible in older versions. Please do a save as Illustrator CC version before sharing the file.
The older release should also be warning users that the file was created in a new version and will have some data loss.Best regards,

Smart Guides do not always snap
This can happen even if I am at the 200% limit. Which taking the limit off would be great also.

Changing values in Move dialog immediately applies them
There appears to be another bug crept into the latest version of Illustrator when selecting an object and using the Object > Transform > Move dialogue.
When you change values it commits those values rather than previews them, even if you cancel the operation. Ie. if you type 100mm into the x-coordinate box then change it to 150mm it will move your object 100mm then a further 150mm (250mm in total) rather than honouring the last value and only moving it 150mm.
Illustrator is becoming all but unusable of late.

textFonts not refreshed after add/remove fonts. textFonts.getByName(fontName) doesn't throw error if font is not installed on user system.
textFonts not refreshed after add/remove fonts. textFonts.getByName(fontName) doesn't throw error if font is not installed on user system.
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < usedFonts.length; i++) {
try {
var textFont= app.textFonts.getByName(usedFonts[i]);
} catch (error) {
missingFonts.push(usedFonts[i]);

Scaling object(s) is causing the associated bounding box to become a shape ('expanded object' appears on the screen after scaling).
Seems to be occurring repeatedly - updated/reinstalled Illustrator 2019, which had received it for a short period, but now it has re-emerged. Driving me mad! Seems to occur more with smart guides and holding the shift key.
See attached for examples.

Selection tool acting like Direct selection tool and vice versa
Selection tool does not select all points and will not move a group of objects correctly, (it acts like the Direct Selection tool, not selecting all points). And the Direct Selection tool selects ALL points of a group and moves them, which is what the Selection tool is supposed to do. They are working exactly opposite as they should. "Show Bounding box" does not resolve this issue. The Selection tool has also instantly changed format of text simply upon selection (indent & tracking). Using MacOS Sierra 10.12.6, Illustrator CC 2019. This is a bad bug, please help.

Object's "Appearance" is stuck
Have been working with the functionality of the Appearance window with great success for quite a while. Today, for no apparent reason, almost every new object I create (from any drawing tool) inherits one of the Appearance attributes that I had previous assigned to a different object. Let's say that I created a line and then applied an Appearance in which I added an additional stroke. Great. Normally, I if I start a brand new object with any of the drawing tools, the new object would have the default stroke and fill features. Not any more. Now, every object I…

Illustrator window resizing problem
My work window in Illustrator has a peculiar problem when I want to resize the window, after clicking in the bottom right corner the window grows much bigger (off screen) and so I have to resize the window even more than normal and my cursor as I do than is sort of on the middle of the screen and not on the corner as normal. Very strange. Only happens in Illustrator when Application Frame is turned off (which is the way I prefer).

Transformations committing even upon cancel
Even MORE issues with latest version of Illustrator which are rendering it almost unusable for me. When using one of the transformation dialog boxes (Move, Rotate, Scale etc) if the preview option is selected, as you change the numerical values to see what the effect might be, it commits each of those changes. Even if you CANCEL out of the dialog box it will have made the transformations to your object and you have to make multiple undos to get back to your starting point.
Found the same issue with the Free Transform Tool, it commits changes in little stages…

text expands inaccurately
Mac OS 10.13.6 AI 23.1.1
See att screenshot. I converted this type to outlines, then Expanded Appearance, then Expanded stroke and fill. Results are superimposed over the original red/orange type. You can that the converted outline does not match the type; in general the top is pushed rightward and the bottom leftward. I tried skewing the outline to correct it but while that may nudge some curves and vertices back to where they belong, it pushes others out. The only solution I know is to tweak and/or redraw the path, which is an extremely time-consuming task. It appears that this…1 vote
