CS 3 begins launching, but never posts menu bar in High Sierra
Having gone through the download process on the assumption that the license was the problem, I find that the newly installed AI CS3 still has the symptom it had before. That is it seems to start, but never displays the menu bar. I can also start it by double-clicking a .ai file. The graphic displays, but no menu bar or other windows.

Creative Cloud has potential ports leak (Activity Monitor)
When starting Creative Cloud, and Viewing Activity Monitor in macOS the ports show an normal average number around 600. Yet the Creative Cloud ports don't stop there every 15 seconds they increase by 1-3 on avg. I have had them reach 10,000 and that when it starts causing problems with my MacBook performance. if I let it would just keep climbing endlessly. this need to be addressed asap.
1 voteThank you for reporting this issue. We have notified the concerned team about it. since this issue is not about Illustrator I am closing the bug.

No touch workspace
In Illustrator CC 2015 (and 2017 & 2018) the Touch Workspace is missing.
The graphic tablet works correctly (pressure, dynamics) but the Touch Workspace is missing.
All the relevant tips I've found in Internet was followed, with no result.
There's a manual way to enable the touch workspace.Ironically, the touch workspace was present in Illustrator BEFORE I bought the graphic tablet.
System:
Mac Mini late 2012, using Boot Camp, Windows 10 (latest), 16GB RAM, Samsung SSD Evo850
Graphic tablet: Huion DWH69 (latest drivers)1 votePlease refer to our system requirement for a supported configuration. We do not support/test touch workspace on boot camp and an external tablet.

"To preserve appearance some text has been outlined"
I recently sent a PDF file generated from InDesign (CC2018) to a book manufacturer from which they were to make a brass die to stamp a binding, just as I have done for about twenty years. A proof was sent back to me in which the 1/2pt rules had thickened to about 3pts and some of the type had thickened, too. I complained and they sent me another proof, in which the rules were ok, but most of the type had thickened.
I wondered how this could have happened, so I did some experiments. I opened the PDF in Illustrator…

Color picker scrolling
Color picker scrolling bug.
1. Verson 22.0.1
2. Open color picker, select channel (S/H/B/R/G/B), scroll up/down using mouse wheel.
3. The values should change by mouse wheel.
4. The R/G/B channels are fine. In Hue, scrolling up is MUCH slower (insensitive) than scrolling down. In Saturation/brightness, most time I can't scroll up. Rarely I can do a 1% scrolling up. Scrolling down is fine.1 voteI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

Diagonal Lines
Hi, I've just updated my Creative Cloud to 2018, but when using the Illustrators, every time I push ctrl button or use the direct tool, these diagonal lines appear. Is there a way to make the line disappear? Thanks.

Unecessary trapping bug
Whenever I send that was made in CC2018 to our Rip there is trapping added to it. This has never happened for the many years I have been using illustrator. This art is butt up without any stroke and should not trap at all. I thought it was our rip software but I tried a different brand rip at another shop and the problem remains. The problem disappears when I disable overprint but I need to use that for base plates and die lines. I am on Illustrator CC 22.0.0
1 voteTrapping can happen if there are two objects with just fill color and if they overlap each other with overprint attribute set then the end result is trapping. The objects in the file you provided overlaps each other to the tune of 0.2 pt with the top object having overprint attribute set.

[Bug] Area text with Auto-size and stroke applied
1:
Version: CC18 (22.0.0) 64bit Windows 72:
a) Draw out area text box using type tool and type a few words
b) Double click to convert to auto-size (or set check mark in Area Type Options)
c) Area type options > Offset - Inset spacing: any value other than 0 - note: this step is not required to recreate the bug I've included as the stroke below would look odd without it.

Saving AI to EPS produces 2 EPS "clones"
Standard procedure in my Art Dept. is to save AI files as EPS when going to press. This includes outlining all fonts and embedding all images.
For at least the last several months, I've often found that when I save an AI file as an EPS, it creates two nearly identical EPS "clones"...meaning they have virtually the same file name but are slightly different in size. An example result for saving "file_name.ai" would be:
filename.eps
filename-01.epsIn all cases, the file without the "-01" would be slightly smaller in size (i.e., 4.3MB compared to 4.6MB), but aside from…

Pressure option for brush is greyed out in AI while using Wacom Tablet
Adobe Illustrator CC 22.0.0
Ever since the new update, every time I'm trying to change my paintbrush to pressure sensitive option from the drop down list box, the 'pressure ' option is greyed out and can't be selected. 'Fixed' and 'random' are the only ones that aren't greyed out.
How can I set the pressure senstivity option on?
Please help.

save as OR save a copy using artboards does not save separate artboard files at all.
Only export works as expected. But if you want to save each artboard as PDF it does not.
