Color Reduction Options reset after restart
- MacOS 10.13.5 / AI 22.1
- changing "Colors" to all, untick "Preserve" White and Black
- I expected these options to be saved and the same after a restart of AI
- after starting AI "Colors" are always reset to "Auto", "Preserve White" and "Black" is always ticked
Some of the color reduction options are always reset after restarting AI, e.g. "Colors" will always revert back to auto and "Preserve" white and black will always be ticked.
Colorize method on the other hand will stick.
This is like this since at least a couple of versions, also on Windows 10 with AI 22.12 votes -
brush pressure issue
so, i recently just bought this new tablet (GAOMON M106K), so i could make some drawings but when i started to use it with the pressure it randomly puts off these dot like ends for the lines. This is really getting me frustrated because i cant find anyone who has this problem, it inst the pen or tablet either because i have tried it on different software and its perfect. If anyone could get back to me that would be great

Adobe Illustrator did not save and included my link files. Those files were not embedded.
Usually, to prevents lost files, I will save and checked the "include link files". However, now this feature isnt working. I tried several times but the files in my Ai hasnt been embedded. It is very annoying because I will need to embed all the files manually. Please FIX this

symbols are not displayed
I have a problem with symbols which I use frequently to have consistent UI.
The problem happens sometimes that when reopened a file (package) after some time the symbol is not displayed! To see the symbol I need to enter it & exit symbol mode after that while I am in the file everything is fine till next time I enter the symbol!!!1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Illustrator 22.1 hangs on start; reinstall only fix I can find
I have a late 2013 Mac Pro, running OS 10.13.5. This problem started about 2 months ago for no apparent reason. When I'm done with Illustrator for the day, I'll quit the application. It may be a couple of days before I have to re-enter illustrator. Most of the time this works, but now, randomly, upon clicking on the application on the launch bar, the splash screen comes up and then the app appears to load, but no start window appears. The illustrator menu bar is there, but is grayed out and you can mouse over the menu bar options…

So, I would expect to let straight lines look or be straight and not inexact, triangeled or non-point.

Selecting hidden guides by mistake
This is difficult to explain, so I'll just go through some steps:
Create some horizontal guides. Make sure they aren't locked.
Now hide guides, you don't want to be bothered with them while you're working on some objects in a different column.
Add some circles or something. They need to overlap where you drew the guides originally.
Drag select over your circles and distribute them on center.It took me a while to figure this one out. searching for it was no help.
The reason it looks jacked is that it's allowing you to move the guides as objects. You…

Freezing when working on files with lots of details
I've noticed others are having this exact same problem:
When working on files with a large number of items, the program will freeze up the whole computer -- necessitating a forced reboot. This happens constantly with the latest update.

Since I updated to High Sierra 10.13.5,
Illustrator CC 22.1 freezes when I move items.Especially when my selection is rather large, I easily end up with a blocked screen and the only thing i see is the rotating cursor.
A hard reboot is the only solution I can do.....1 vote -
CMYK sliders don't work when decimals appear
Mac OSX High Sierra Version 10.13.5 Adobe Illustrator 22.1
I am new this month to Adobe Illustrator.
I have been able to use my app for only 3 days in the last 3 weeks. I have a 2 second wheel of death whenever decimals appear instead of the normal number percentages. A few things happen when the decimals appear, either trying to use the sliders freezes the screen as it fades, or I can move the sliders and the decimals disappear, (3 days only), or I have just the decimals and cannot change the colors. Note the shade of yellow…1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Most of the fonts cannot show and load in the list of AI CS6
Most of the fonts cannot show and load in the list of AI CS6 suddenly today. The down arrow button (red circle in the attached picture) of the font list is not working (no response), but I can still choose other fonts by clicking up/down keyboard arrow to choose around 10 fonts (my computer installs over than hundreds fonts!).
Also, all fonts are still working in Photoshop and MS Office. Can anyone help on this? Thanks!4 votes -
Blob brush describes a path, not a form
Recently, when I use blob brush with my wacom one, it describes a path, not a form. If I use the mouse, blob brush works well. I do not know how can I solve it.

create new
"Create new..." does not work on Win 10 latest CC 2018 update, new subscription, first time using Illustrator. I've seen Illy used by many people up close, it's not me - it's the Create New feature, it's broken from the File > menu, the full screen app convenience tile menu, and also CTRL+N. None of it progresses past the initial "what new file setup do you want". And yes, I pressed "Create" not cancel.
Very disappointed, I just paid for a year of this, greeeaaat.

SVG href property exports incorrectly
When illustrator exports SVGs, it sometimes will use the href property to reference something like an embedded image or gradient from the <defs>, which is reasonable. Docs for the href property here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/href
However, safari does not support
hrefyet, and will completely drop the reference, making SVGs widely render incorrectly in safari, up to the latest version. In order to make them work properly, the deprecatedxlink:hrefproperty must also be used, docs below:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href
All bases can be covered by including both the
hrefandxlink:hrefproperties, until all modern browsers have fully adopted the SVG2 spec.1 voteIf you should see the issue still, please contact us via email sharewithai (at) adobe dot com.

Targeting and moving selections between layers
I just upgraded to Illustrator CC 2018 (22.1). The layers interface has more bugs than a bait store. For one thing, I can no longer move targeted selections between layers, and the "release to layers" (build or sequence) doesn't expand named layers properly.
I'm a high-end packaging production designer. I have to work with vector art and therefore multiple layers are absolutely critical to mitigate file complexity. This is a serious problem as now I refuse to release mechanicals that would be untenable for vendors.
I'll need to revert back to Illustrator CC 2017, and can only hope and pray…
