Layers are messed up, live text broken up
File was last edited on Dec 23, 2019 - saved in illustrator 2020 .ai and .pdf formats. There were grouped layers, and live text layers.
When I opened it today, my layer groups are all gone, and my live text has been broken up into separate layers (some mid-word).

Math in Picas is Using Points not Picas
Document units set to picas. In width or height box on tool bar, enter "-3" and it subtracts 3 points. I expect — as it has done since time and eternity — to subtract 3 picas. The number should be the whole version of the document units, not a fraction thereof.

Pattern Swatches Shift when Copied & Pasted
Copying and pasting a pattern filled object or text, especially when pasting into a new document, should not shift the pattern. This causes many issues when passing files to others.
0 votesGenerally this behavior is controlled by the option, Preferences > General > Transform Pattern Tiles.
However the positioning of a pattern inside of an object is controlled by the origin point of a specific document, the 0,0 position on rulers, which may differ in different documents. Ai recalculates local coordinates on paste, preserving the look of the pattern, but if you change the origin later, the pattern will shift.
Please comment back if toggling this option does not work for you.

Gradient, colouring and effect-error
The operations weren't particularly complex, a shape won't change fill between gradient, colour or even empty. The appearance panel is empty, and still there's no possible to change or remove the fill. I tried adding a gaussian blur, after which the entire figure disappeared. I thought it might be a preview issue so I exported it, but it was gone there as well. I attach a screenshot. Right before it happened I tried adding a complex clipping mask (but undid it).

Rendered objects not matching the outline
I have found multiple rendering issues with Illustrator 2020 on Mojave 10.14.6
There are three types:1.) When cutting an object with the path finder, it might occasionally produce straight lines instead of curves, although I can't replicate this and it happens rarely.
2.) The displayed object doesn't follow the outline accurately in general. This is blatantly obvious when zooming in to the max and drawing a small object.
3.) Lines aren't smooth, they have extremely tiny irregularities. These disappear when zooming (even when already at max) but only for the current screen. Moving the camera reveals new ones and…

Horizontal Scroll Not Working
Horizontal Scroll Not Working. Windows 10 HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-ch0xx. The horizontal scroll works on other apps and on Photoshop. The horizontal scroll only does not work on Illustrator. This is a new install because I am having my macbook pro repaired because I scratched my screen. On my mac the horizontal scroll works fine. The other problems I noticed on both my mac and the new PC install is the alignment distribute input unit of measurement does not show up sometimes. If I toggle the show/hide bounding box it fixes it. Also on both my mac and PC when…

App freezes or doesn’t render artboard if second monitor gets unplugged
Both Ps and Ai malfunction when using a second monitor.
Problem: when either application is open and I shut off, unplug 2nd monitor or close laptop with 2nd monitor still plugged in, the next time I am in either app the files I have open are frozen. Or when I open a new file there is no artboard shown.
The only resolve is to restart the program.1 vote -

White pixel line around shapes
Ever since Appearance was introduced, my artwork on screen suffers from a white pixel line around shapes. Seems a rendering problem: the line is not actually existing - zooming in does not make it thicker, it's always one pixel. Tried switching GPU off and on. No difference.
The appearance of the black shape: Fill is black, Stroke is None.8 votes -

3D revolve doesn't draw properly
I drew half a star, tried to revolve it but it doesn't always layer and shade the different parts correctly. Sometimes a cone appears outside of it. Another example in this screenshot, where there's a line visible straight through it and the shading is wrong in the top part:

Hello Adobe, I created a complex layered design, I saved it, and turned my computer off on 7pm, and when I turned my computer at 4pm in the next day, all the layers is gone, all of them flattened into a single image so I can't do any further editing.

Performance and delay on Illustrator 2020&2019 - iMac 5k 2019 with Pro Vega 48
Here is the video where I compare performance issue with other graphic software and desktop CP with Illustrator 2020 on the iMac 2019.

On the video you can see this lag how its behavior on iMac and how its snappy od Pc Dekstop. Performance is the same on Mojave or Catalina.
