1. Freezing issue

   Since the 23.0 version Illustrator keeps freezing regularly, up to 3 times in a day's usage. There is no actual pattern that i can point to, just that it keeps doing it at certain time intervals and with certain signs sometimes (like the menus not showing), which are also irregular and i have to use Task Manager to close it and open it again.

3. Extra large font in top menus - can't fix

   I can't modify the size of the font in Illustrator's top bar menus. When I click on a top menu item (File/Edit/Object/Type, etc) the font displayed in them is extra large, and I can't change it in Settings. Even when I select "Reset Essentials Classic", nothing happens. How can I fix this? Thanks!

4. Effects menu is smaller/larger than other menus on Windows with larger UI scaling

   When looking at the effects drop down on a high definition laptop, it is smaller then the rest of the dropdowns.

5. Gradient stroke with spot colors separations error

   Using spot colors in a gradient stroke has problems on a close path. When viewing separations, white gaps appear between some spot colors.

6. Variable Font not working properly

   Hello, I am a type designer and am working on a variable script font. The variable font file work fine everywhere else except in Adobe products.

   It appears the sidebearings aren't adjusting with the changes in width. Very odd. You can see whats happening in the first file. The second is on the Axis Praxis website.

   I've spoken with Glyphs App developers and they said it's a glitch with Illustrator, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.

7. Rasterization with clipping mask removes half of the stroke

   Create a dummy rectangle with a fill and a thick stroke. Select the rectangle. Go to Object/Rasterize. Tick "Create Clipping Mask". Click OK. Notice the outern half of the stroke is gone (clipped away). I would expect unchanged visual appearance....

8. I have to keep re-activating fonts

   For no seemingly obvious reason, and quite randomly, my fonts wont activate when I open Illustrator. I have to turn off "Enable Adobe Fonts" in CC and then turn it back on. This is getting very frustrating -

9. Undoing Warp Tool Transforms

   1. Software Details:
      Windows 10 / Ver. 1809 / OS Build 17763.316 / Illustrator Ver. 23.0.2

   2. Steps Taken:
      a. Selecting Warp tool (or any other from the warp tools palette)
      b. Selecting an object
      c. Warping the object either once or repeatedly
      d. Undoing all warps to restore original shape.

   3. Expected Result
      The undo command would undo my actions

   4. Actual Result
      Although the outline that appears when hovering over the object had returned to the anticipated state after the necessary number of undos, the object itself remained unaltered - sometimes disappearing. Subsequent undos would only affect prior actions on other objects. Only after expanding the warped object's appearance and then undoing that operation was I able to achieve the desired result.

12. Data merge with variables shared by multiple objects should not create errors

    Assigning multiple objects to the same variable would be particularly useful for language translations, in which the same value should appear in different objects of the same document.

    While the UI allows to link several objects to the same variable, Illustrator behaves badly in these cases:

    1. When a new dataset is created, Illustrator will assign different values to the same variable and where the value shows up is unpredictable.

    2. The exported variable library is invalid and cannot be imported again.

    3. If a CSV is imported into such a document, the import fails with an unknown error, while the CSV import of the same table works in documents with single assignments.

    The problem exists in version 22 as well as version 23 on MacOS 10.14

13. Cannot update links from links panel

    Cannot update links by clicking "update" icon in links panel or by going to panel menu > Update Links. They do nothing. I have to wait until AI shows the "Some links need updating..." alert and then confirm to update or I have to close/open the file.

    What the heck happened in the latest update(s)? Feels like all of the panels are super busted.

14. Illustrator Not Responding

    My illustrator program says that it is not responding every time I save. It eventually works but takes 10 or so minutes to save each time. Which is a huge draw back because if I like to save a lot to ensure the safety of my files it impacts my performance by slowing me down.

    I am working off of a server but I don't think that would effect my save proformance.

    I've checked the Nvidia pannel and set my GTX graphics card as default just in case as well.

    I have a cpu and memory meter that aren't showing that i'm pushing my device to hard. Mainly staying arround 50% Utilization

    I've got a surface book 2
    with 16 GB RAM
    a GTX 1060 with 6GB of GDDR5
    and a 8th Gen i7 Processor

    Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The 'Paste Remembers Layers' option in the Layers panel’s flyout menu regulates this behavior. When it is checked — Illustrator will honor the original layer of a copied artwork and paste it in the same layer, ignoring the selection of a layer.

    However, if disabling this option does not help — please comment.

16. Colored text randomly changing to black

    Mac OS 10.12.6 with Illustrator CC 2019

    Since December text has been randomly changing to black. It happens with bullets more frequently, but sometimes two words in a paragraph will turn black. This happens frequently when I reopen files but also while I'm working.

    Sometimes (but not always) when I change the color back with the eyedropper, it still shows up black in the Appearance panel (see photo).

    My 2 coworkers are also having this issue.

    I don't know if it's related, but I'm also having a problem with cutting (CTRL-X) objects. Simple shapes and text will temporarily not allow me to cut them.

17. Can't drag a color swatch onto a gradient color stop

    macOS High Sierra, then Mojave 10.14.3
    iMac 2017
    Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 24 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
    Graphics Radeon Pro 570 4096 MB

    I used to be able to drag a color swatch onto the color stops on the gradient slider, replacing the existing colors on the slider. Now, in Illustrator 2019, the vast majority of the time it only adds the color swatch as an additional stop instead of replacing it. So the gradient will go from 2 stops to 3 despite me only wanting to replace one of the 2 colors in it. I can just drag the extra stop off of it to work around this, but it’s just another little thing that slows me down.

20. Linked image used in opacity mask not compressing

    I believe this is a new issue with a recent update. I've never had this issue before.

    The attached pdf file should be renamed to an ai file. For some reason I am not allowed to attach an ai file. That doesn't make sense to me as this is a bug report platform for ai.

    If I create a document that has a linked image used in an opacity mask, illustrator is not compressing the image when I save it. I'm seeing a file end up being, for example, around 8MB when it should be around 600KB. I am downsampling and using JPG compression for both color and greyscale bitmaps.

    If I release the mask, and save the [otherwise] exact same file, the file size is greatly reduced.
    with mask: 8MB
    without mask: 600KB

    Some observations with experimentation:

    If I save as PDF with mask:
    "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checked: 8MB

    "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" unchecked: 600KB

    If I save as AI with mask:

    "Create PDF Compatible File" checked: 8MB

    "Create PDF Compatible File" unchecked: 600KB

    I believe this is a new issue as I have been creating files this way for several years without them being bloated like this.

    Windows 7. Illustrator CC (newest).

    The Attached file:
    Saves as ai to 630KB. Saves as pdf at about 14MB. Simply releasing the opacity mask then saves the pdf to 836KB.
