Macbook completely crashes with Illustrator 2018
Hi, I'm using Illustrator 2018 and quite frequently my MacBook Pro 2017 crashes completely when I'm moving objects around or copying objects. It happened with the 2017 version as well. I can only hard reset my computer, which NEVER happens with other apps.

Create New
I have Illustrator 2018. Whenever I click create new, I'm expecting to see the full range of canvas options, but instead it's cut off at web (instead of including Art & Illustration canvases etc.). Resizing the window still cuts it off, and sometimes it'll fit but there will be white space instead of filling the window.

Many Many issues with Illustrator 2018
Ever since I've updated to Illustrator 2018, the program is always lagging and becomes non-responsive. Something simple like selecting "T" for a new text line will stall my program. I've attached my computer specs.
The alt shortcut for brush tool no longer selects color with the eye drop tool. I have to manually select the eyedropper, then switch back to the brush tool which is very frustrating when I need to do this hundreds of times a day!
The startup time has increased dramatically. Showing a blank screen for a couple minutes until the illustrator home screen finally appears. Also…

UI gets 'mangled', rendering it unusable, displays 'eating' each other or disappearing or not appearing, usually starts in 'control' area. Happens after various length of time, no special event triggering it.

Exporting an artboard to PSD now flattens the image even though layered export is selected
Exporting an artboard to PSD now flattens the image even though layered export is selected.
File > Export > Export As.. > type "PSD"
Write layers - selected
preserve text editability - checked
maximum editability - checkedSame process as before updating to v22.0.1
Previously it exported all the elements as separate layers perfectly, now it flattens everything

Error loading plugins. TorqExtension.aip
I get two errors when I first open up Illustrator. This is the second one I receive. It appears every time I open Illustrator CC 2018. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator from Creative Cloud, but it still appears on startup. I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit machine as well.

Name layer pop up panel appears twice
On macOS 10.12.6, working with a Wacom. If you double-click on a layer to rename it and the panel pops up to rename, clicking OK doesn't get rid of the panel. It re-appears a second time.

Anchor Points Flat Instead of Sharp Points
When I draw a point with the pen tool, sometimes it gives me a nice sharp point, and other times it flattens it like a bad military haircut. If I wanted it flat I'd select the Bevel Join. Instead it takes me several minutes of fiddling with the anchor point angles to get the points, often giving me a curve that I didn't want, and wasting valuable time. It seems to be even worse than usual since the latest update (22.0.0).

Delay of text cursor
- Illustrator 22.0.0 (64-bit).
- There is a delay in the text cursor showing up when it's moved with arrows or a text path is newly clicked, requiring one to wait for it before being able to continue working.
- The text cursor should be immediately visible.
- There is a delay instead of a couple seconds. (That's a long time when making many moves in a row.)

Constrain proportions via text entry no longer working
According to the Illustrator User Manual, and in previous versions, with respect to Reshaping Objects (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/scaling-shearing-distorting-objects.html):
"You can also maintain proportions by entering a value in the W or H box, and then pressing Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while you press Enter."
This no longer works and is rather annoying. Thank you.

Illustrator CC (2018) will run out of memory and/or crash
Will sip every mb of your memory and won't let me zoom in after that, changes to CPU preview and will tell that there's no memory left and crash.
Happened to me several times in one day alone and with only 2 files open (light vector only). I have a 24Gb RAM workstation and it swallows 20GB in 1/2 hour.4 votesPlease get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Align Stroke isn't allowing me to place stroke on outside or inside of line on certain items.. Both options are greyed out.
Since latest update, Align Stroke isn't allowing me to place stroke on outside or inside of the line on certain items. I'm noticing this on both text and vector objects with "holes".

Serious Bug: Corrupted Files
When I load my files that I previously created AI 2017, into AI 2018, some of them load properly, at least as far as I can see, but some of them are giving me an error. The corrupted files show me a dialog box for Text Import Options. If I click Cancel, then the file doesn't load, but if I click OK, then it shows no images, but instead shows the following:

Mac Illustrator CC. Shift click not moving gradient mesh point along path.
I'm making sure to hold shift before left clicking my mouse on the appropriate gradient mesh point as I've always done to move the point along a path. However it moves the whole path rather than just the point like I haven't hit shift at all.

Embeded image in symbol
I am using Adobe Illustrator CC 2018.
I am using a symbol that has an embedded image in it. When I re-link the image and embed the new image it does not stay when the symbol is exited. The symbol will also not allow me to delete the embedded image.
In previous versions of Illustrator once the image is embedded and the symbol exited, the image remains and is placed across all the symbols.
