illustrator does not show my printer automatically
I have been using illustrator more than 3 years. After the last update, Illustrator does not show me the default printer in the computer when I command "print". I tries to save the file as PostScript file. I completely deleted the illustrator and all the adobe files and re-installed them back, but it didn't get fixed. I have several illustrator in several computers, and only one of them has this problem. Is there any solution for that?

Copy / paste not working - breaks text formatting and usually drops any vector content as well.
Copy / paste not working - breaks text formatting and usually drops any vector content as well. This happens whether the copy/paste is within one Illustrator file or between two. VERY frustrating. I've found that I can occasionally get it to work by copying and pasting within the same document (everything must be grouped as one), and if it is successful, quickly copy the pasted version and then it might paste into the other Illustrator file.
Solution from support was to downgrade from 24.4 to 24.01. This seems to have done the trick - but now I can't allow CC…

Decimal points added to values - Precision issues
I am operating on Windows 10 and just updated to Ilustrator 24.3.
I am having all kinds of massive issues with precision when working in files created between Illustrator 24.1 and the most recent update at 24.3. When I create text and set the point size, I'll come back later to find that it is "48.002 pts" and that the horizontal scale is at "99.9987%" and it is no longer aligned at x: 1 in., y: 1 in., but has moved to "x: 1.005 in" and "y: .9998 in." This happens will all kinds of objects, not just text. The…

Text locks after resizing
When I resize a single line text object with the selection tool, the text becomes immediately locked, and I'm unable to click on it to move or resize it further. The only way to select the object is to CMD+2 every other object and then select all. Even then, the text can't be moved/resized, just deleted.

Shape Builder ignores lines when they don’t cross a shape
Shape builder, despite the rounding bug that is embedded in its core (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/37424191-expanding-a-live-paint-object-changes-dimensions#comments) is still a very useful tool many users are very fond of.
Specifically, it can be used to bring pathfinder options to open paths — you can delete parts of lines that are covered with another shape, effectively subtracting segments from them (rather than closed shapes), by Alt+dragging over this shape (see the GIF attached).
But this nice trick won’t do the job if lines don’t cross the entire shape. That is when a line ends inside of a shape, the tool doesn’t trim it.…

svg export fails to export image
for the current version of AI (24.3).
When exporting a svg via save-as with an artboard, images part of the canvas are not preserved, or exported, or linked. The resulting svg preserves the vector data, but anything related to the raster graphics is missing.
this behavior seems to be inconsistent, as sometimes masked images do export, while other times they do not.

Illustrator not deleting .tmp files after upgrades to Catalina
We've recently started upgrading our users to Catalina, and since then multiple people have reported Illustrator is creating .tmp files that can't be deleted. We've turned off Save in Background, Export in Background, optimize saving for slow networks, and Saving Cloud documents. The issue seems to be intermittent, we haven't been able to find a pattern.
When it makes these files, they can't be deleted in Finder.

Very high latency/lag/delay with basic operations
I am using a wacom cintiq pro 24HD and a thinkpad P1 running the Win10 pro for workstations (2004 build). All my drivers are up to date. I am running the latest build of illustrator (v 24.3).
There's very high lag with basic move / resize operations (1-2 seconds) both with and without using the cintiq. + pen.
With the rotate and reflect tools, the lag is up to 4 minutes if i'm using the wacom, and it's still 1-2s without.
Please help, this has been an issue over the last few releases of illustrator and it doesn't seem to…

Ver 23.3, When character unit is Q, spin button does not work properly with font size of character panel and control
Version : 24.3
OS : Windows and macOS- Set the unit character to series (Q) in the environment settings
- Create point text and area text
- Change the font size of the character panel or control with the spin button.
In this operation, the spin button does not work properly, and the size can be changed only within a specific range based on the character size at the time of selection.
In the property panel, it works normally.
Even if you enter it directly, a value with decimal will be entered instead of the entered value.
Other units are normal.Original…

Smart Guide glitch
I am making icons in Illustrator.
- Created a 1000px x 1000px file.
- Set horizontal & vertical guides at midpoints - 500px, so the intersection is accurate centre of the document.
- Using the pen tool, I hover to get the smart guide to snap to guide. BUT!!!! It snaps at position 500.5px not 500.0p.x Both horizontal & vertical are affected.The picture shows the "smart guides" assisting at the wrong point. The cursor vanished for the screenshot, but is hovering on "intersect".
I reset Illustrator settings & started a new file with no other items. Illustrator V 24.3.…

Illustrator (24.3) Slow lagging, AI and EPS files issues, non responsive
macOS Mojave (10.14.6)
Working on large scale signage graphics - have completing almost exactly the same thing for previous jobs with no issue. 24AUG20 AI auto updated and instantly could not move graphics in file - constant spinning wheel and slow loading times.
Saving file was extremely slow - ceasing to save from 80-90% and then crashing (crash report sent). The only way to continue working was to save as EPS.
Also attempted saving graphic elements out as EPS files to place into INDD where EPS was pixilated (fully or partially). PDF exported from INDD unable to save correctly with…

Save for Displays: SVG export is extremly slow on Windows
I do have a file with around 100 artboards with simple icons that need to be exported to SVG.
This process is extremly slow on Windows on a decent machine. Every SVG takes about 3sec to save. CPU usage shown AI is running only on Core #2. The same file exports in seconds on my 8 years old Mac.
