Cannot view New Files
- Using MacOSX 10.15.5 (19F101), Newest version of Illustrator CC
- Open existing file file, create new file
- EXPECTED: A new file gets created and I can see the artboard and work within the file
- ACTUAL: A new tab opens with "Untitled" but cannot toggle to the new tab, and when attempting to break the new document out of tabs and input any objects (text, shapes, lines, or paste) into the "New" document, it creates/pastes into the first document opened, not the New one I created. Cannot manipulate any "New" document in any capacity with Illustrator, Photoshop, or Indesign (only ones I've…

Opening a PDF Bug - Not visible until selecting workspace
I frequently open a PDF file in AI. Since updating to V24 (I run macOS Catalina v10.15.5 at the time of report, 6/15/20), if there are no files currently open, the artboard(s) will not be visible upon opening. I found a workaround, but it's still an inconvenience. To fix the issue, I select another workspace (which makes the file visible), and then return to my preferred workspace. However, the saved windows for that workspace are not visible until I zoom in on an artboard. After that, everything functions as normal and as expected, but the issue occurs every time I…

magically appearing anchor points
When I join paths, use the pathfinder tools, or shapebuilder options, anchors that I DID NOT create, appear. There is no rhyme or reason to when it will decide to do it. So annoying. Over time this degrades the image when enlarging, shrinking, offsetting paths and a number of other features I don't want to waste my time listing. I don't care what you say about vectors and your program, I've been doing this a long time, it happens. I personally deal with vinyl plotters. Plotters don't like unnecessary or extra anchor points. It can slow down the cut process…

alert() function is slicing the last word in the output window.
Somehow the last word of an alert message to Illustrator keeps getting sliced. Notice in my attached example how the last word of my alert string "messages." gets cut off.

24.1.2 crashes when saving down AI or EPS to CS6
24.1.2 crashes when saving down AI or EPS to CS6.
Oddly enough there is some difference – the .AI doesn't seem to save at all, but saving from .AI to CS6 .EPS when opened after crash seems to have saved down successfully.

Illustrator 24.1.3
When using computer's trackpad or drawing tablet I have encountered problems that render the program unresponsive.
As I re-order layers in the layers panel and I when move simple shapes or groups of shapes across the artboard, the action is not performed. When hovering the cursor anywhere in the interface I see a circle with a strike through it, program is essentially…

Creates "ai2483293123FileName.ai" files
I'm using 24.1.3 of Illustrator and I have come across these files popping up on my network drive. Are these now the "temp" files? Once these files are created, I can not delete them because Finder tells me it is currently being in use.

Zero-height marquee
Please study the GIF attached.
- I want to select an edge of the yellow-beige path
- I grab Direct selection tool and drag a frame over the edge — OK
- I make it faster — still OK
- I make it with my usual speed and get the marquee that has 0 height. It happens with me all the time! I don't fake it, I just automatically try to drag the less tall frame as possible, because sometimes I need to select quite a tiny segment. And when it happens — Illustrator selects nothing.
Well, this is wrong.

zoom tool malfunction
HI there,
On my Acer laptop, currently running windows 10, Illustrator had turned off some performance settings last week after a bug fix. when I press certain commands on my keyboard for the selections and zoom tool, the screen zooms in at the maximum and I can no longer zoom back out.
I believe I am currently using Adobe Illustrator version 24.1.3

Latest version takes a long time to open and save files often 5 minutes or more for a simple file this is not acceptable.
latest version of illustrator is taking forever to save or open files often more than 5 minutes for a simple file, this is not a network issue as it does the same even to desktop. this is not acceptable and needs fixing very quickly

Ghost element sneaks in my groups
Hi!!
I encounter a bug in Illustrator. You will find the description below but also a video that explains a lot better what I am trying to say.
1) OS: Windows
Version: 10.0
System Architecture: x64
Illustrator version: 24.1.22) When I just try to select a group from the active window.
3) I expect to only select element from this group
4) Somehow there is a ghost element that I can see alone when I unselect my group. This ghost stays there and mess up my resizing then..5 votes -
When changing UI scale, dropdownlist is shown inverted and the bottom item is not shown.
macOS 10.14.6
Illustrator 2019, 2020Dropdown list is shown inverted when changing UI scale.
It seems to display correctly when I mouse over it, but the bottom item is not actually displayed.These defects can be resolved by making the UI scale the smallest.
This is a very troublesome problem as a script developer.
I expect an immediate fix.21 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.0 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Illustrator 24.1.3 Type tool and text refresh
I've been experiencing an error and annoying Type tool bug since the last update to AI 24.1.3. It happens when I type something and later I go back to edit it (for example adding extra text, fixing a type) and the change does not appear to occur until I switch to Outline view. Alternatively, if I option-drag the text path the duplicate path shows the correct text. This is an old error (at least in appearance) that was fixed several versions ago and now it's back.

Rotating with selection tool buggy
When attempting to rotate a shape using the bounding box and the selection tool, in every version previous to 24.0 I just moved the cursor outside the bounding box a certain distance and the cursor would change to a bent arrow, allowing me to click and rotate. Ever since then, I've still been able to rotate the shape this way, but the cursor arrow doesn't change to the bent arrow icon until after I click, meaning I am unsure whether or not I am about to resize or rotate the shape.
