Cannot make invisible/visible layers
Cannot manage my layers. The "eye" of the layers look like not working.
Like you can see in my capture, the layers are not visible mode but still visible.Restarting computer is a waste of time, didnt work.
I need this function to work obviusly. So fix them because I must spend my time looking for another version ( and I paid for the 2020 )

Saving error Adobe Illustrator 2020 [24.0.1]
When saving an existing ai document that I have made an alt to illustrator keeps giving me a save error.
Illustrator tried, but could not save the file 'file name' Click "Learn more" to try alternate options for saving a file.
If I then use the 'save as' command and save over the top of the existing ai it will save. Illustrator leaves a .tmp file in the same folder as my ai. I may work on the file a few more time re-saving using the 'save' command with no issue and then randomly I will save and we go…

Color Picker Selects White Instead of Black
Very bizarre problem:
- I will create a new object using the pen tool.
- I select the Stroke Color icon and choose black for a border color.
- Illustrator will invariably select white instead of black. I will have to go back to the color picker and select black again for it to stick. Really irritating.
5 votesPlease provide a video of this problem happening, and ideally a test file to try.

Spanish mistraslation
When you choose Object > Path > Simplify and go to advanced options, the line: "Show original path" is mistranslated to: "Mostrar ruta original". It should be: "Motrar trazado original".
"Path" could mean ruta or trazado, in this case means trazado.

Space After Paragraph is Missing
I'm using Illustrator 2020, v24.0.1 on a MacBook Pro using OS Mojave v10.14.6
Not sure where it went, but in the Paragraph tool, the "Space After Paragraph" feature is simply gone. I've rebooted the program and its still missing. Need this basic standard feature back ASAP.

Extra "Object" title in Select menu
Under the Select menu, there's a submenu called "Object", which allows you to quickly select certain kinds of things. But, directly below that one is another menu choice also called "Object" which seems to have no function. This appears to be an error and should be removed.

"Save As" dialog box not focused
OSX Catalina 10.15; Illustrator 24.0.1 with Creative Cloud 5.0.0.354
Safari, Mail, and Notes open in backgroundSometimes after using CMD+SHIFT+S to open Save As dialog, the dialog box will not be focused; filename will not be highlighted; TAB will not cycle through input fields; ESC will not close dialog box. Clicking somewhere on the box is the only way I've found to make it responsive as normal. After doing so, I can close the dialog with ESC; re-entering the keyboard shortcut afterwards tends to result in expected behavior, but sometimes the problem repeats. The keyboard shortcut should immediately open the…

Spot color names are incorrect in other applications
I'm using Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) on macOS Mojave (10.14.6) in Japanese.
Opened an Illustrator 2020 file containing spot colors with Japanese names in Acrobat or place it to InDesign, the names are not as expected.
I can use English names for the new ones, but changing InDesign ink settings in all existing files can be difficult.

Gradient gets rasterized into a different looking one when used for mapping with 3D Revolve
While in 3D Revolve, I am trying to apply a created Symbol onto a half circle with a gradient. Within the dialog box, there is a message that says "the gradient will be rasterized", which changes my gradient from "red to black gradient" to a "balk and white gradient". That changes my whole effect.

Objects sliding when switching between outline and preview
Most of the times I'm working with quite simple graphics (preparing already existing logos and graphics for printing).
Sometimes when switching from preview to outline view, and back, I notice that some objects aren't where they are supposed to be. In outline view they are at their supposed position, but in preview they are somewhere else. It isn't a big problem when I notice it happening - the problem is when I don't and print it like that. When I notice it, moving the object, pressing unite, or several other actions will make the object pop back to their right…
