Color Mixer in Control and Properties panels gets broken after using Tab
The Color Mixer in Properties and Control works oddly. Here, I try to navigate my fields with Tab, and then drag one slider — boom, it all breaks: sliders vanish, active fields become visually inactive, closing it becomes very hard...
I feel like it started happening when the generative virus put its tendrils into Ai.

The entire document fails due to the use of area text linked to different pages. Text is lost, the file freezes, won't save, or is stuck
Mi computador es un MacBook Pro 2022 - Chip Apple M2 - MacOs Sequoia 15.5, pensaba que era un error del Mac por lo que formatee el computador y volví a instalar la suite de adobe, pero no, el error sigue, fue a partir de la actualización hecha después del sábado 28 de Junio. Desde allí el ilustrator presenta diferentes errores que detallaré a continuación:
1. Para abrir un documento luego de haber trabajado en otro, se queda pensando diciendo que esta leyendo el documento y no lo abre, allí se bloquea y tengo que reiniciar el programa (adjunto pantallazo).…-

Using Inflate with 3D & Materials gives a [Clr?] error
Ever since it was introduced, I haven't been able to access the new 3D & Materials (only the classic version). With any attempt I make to eg. inflate I get this error message: 'The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [Clr?]'. I use Illustrator 29.6.1 on a Mac Mini M1.

Copying (Ctrl+C) a Radial repeated object with a drop shadow causes crash
Illustrator 29.61
I was able to re-create the crash with the following steps:
Create New Document.
Create 5 basic shapes, group them.
From the application menu, go to Object->Repeat->Radial and apply it to the group.
Double click on the original group to isolate it, from the appearance panel add a fx drop shadow to the grouped object.
Exit isolation.
select the repeated group and copy it
Crash.Playing around with this, the crash only occurs when you add the drop shadow after applying the radial repeat. The easy solution is to apply the drop shadow prior to applying the repeat.

Einfrieren nach einigen Minuten
Illustrator 29.6.1, Windows 11:
Illustrator friert jedes Mal einige Minuten nach dem Starten für ca. 5 Minuten ein. Der Fehler tritt unabhängig davon auf, was man gerade tut, der Fehler tritt auch auf, wenn kein Dokument geöffnet ist und nur das Startfenster angezeigt wird. Nach den 5 Minuten läuft er dann ganz normal weiter.1 vote -
The name of the missing link gets trimmed from the left side in the file name field in the dialog
But why the name of the link in File Name field in the dialog gets displayed trimmed from the left side, even though the input has PLENTY of space in my dialog window?
This behavior is not new.
I have my guesses that it’s a legacy behavior, to make sure the name is seen on a smaller screen in the smallest dialog... but Ai probably knows the size of the dialog window and can calculate if it fits?4 votes -
Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled
While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.
Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.
Anyone else has the same issue?

Unavailable fonts in Illustrator vs Acrobat Reader
When I open a document with a missing font, Illustrator keeps displaying the correct font. However, when I open the same document without any changes in Acrobat Reader, the font changes to the default font. Is this normal? Or do I have to worry about converting to curves first?

Issue when removing asset from Lib CCEnterprise Storage
Quand la bibliothèque CC est créée comme une "marque" dans le "Stockage d'Entreprise" au lieu du stockage personnel, et que l'on supprime un des éléments de cette bibliothèque, la fenetre de visualistation de la bibliothèque s'efface complètement. et impossible de reéafficher le contenu sans quitter et relancer le programme.
A priori celà ne se produit pas avec une lib CC en stockage perso.
