Objects imported from SVG have their gradients turned upside down
Illustrator 24.2 on Windows 10 PC.
Open the attached SVG file. Select the rectangle with the gradient. Now select the Rectangle tool and create another rectangle which will inherit the look of the first rectangle. Now we have two rectangles on the canvas which look the same.
Yet their appearance in the Appearance panel is different — the imported object has the red color on the bottom while the newly created object has the red color on the top.
It's not simply a cosmetic issue — if you drag and drop the appearance of the imported rectangle to another object,…

Save As or Save Copy not working
I have a document (on a network share). I can edit the file and save it normally.
But SAVE AS or SAVE COPY do not work at all. Just Nothing Happens.

Illustrator crashes when switching views in the Asset Export panel
Has this been reported yet? There's a really easy-to-reproduce crash bug in Adobe Illustrator involving the Asset Export panel that affects even the latest version (24.2) .
If the Asset Export panel contains more than two items and an item other than the first is currently being renamed and the view is attempted to be switched from Grid View to List View, the mouse cursor will begin to move really slowly for a few seconds and after that, Illustrator will crash. See the video attached for a demonstration.Some system info:
Adobe Illustrator 24.2
OS: Windows
Version: 10.0

Unknown Error [PARM]
I was starting work and clicked on Adobe Illustrator for the first time today, it immediately gave me this error and I hadn't even opened a document as yet.
This is the first time this error has appeared for me and I do not know why.
I closed the program and restarted it, the error didn't reoccur.
I have a pretty new powerful PC (within a year old).
I have attached my PC specs for reference and all programs are up to date.
Thanks

Switching project tabs fails to update to selected project
In recent updates, including the June 2020 Illustrator update, tabs fail to switch projects, displaying only the current project for up to 15 seconds before slowly refreshing and switching to the selected open project tab. This happens several times a day and drastically effects productivity. (macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Macbook Pro 16 2019)

'Turn off Data Recovery for complex documents' should be on by default
The data recovery setting for complex documents should be on by default. Secondary to this, why aren't my illustrator settings saved in the Creative Cloud in the creative cloud service we pay so much for? I've had a situation we're I've upgraded to a new illustrator version through CC then started to work not realising this feature is now off!!! I've done a whole lot of work in a large file and not only did it not recover the document after a crash the program reverted the document to a state 2 days prior! The file even says I saved…

Can't Select behind objects
The following instructions do not work. I need this function...
Select behind objects
In Illustrator, you can select objects that lie underneath other objects using Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac OS). The pointer changes to Select Behind on the first Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac OS). On subsequent usage of Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac OS), the selection iterates through the objects directly underneath the pointer position.

3D Revolve Clipping
3D Revolve is clipping the front faces. I can get the faces to appear when the object is in a different rotation, when it object is parallel with the view. I've tried this with both a normal path and a compound path.
I think the plane the 3D object is being rendered to is too far forward.

Ai files saved on Windows loose their preview when changing extension to .ait
To prevent accidentally saving over common library files (stock graphics and the like) we save our artwork files as .ai, then change the extension to .ait so that they will open as an untitled file. There are a couple of reasons I do things this way instead of saving them as .ait files from the get go.
The main reason is that it's not uncommon that I'll need to run a batch script on several files. As part of that batch, I open the file, make some change(s), then save the file. If the files are initially saved as a…

When I open Illustrator files the screen is filled with black and grey lines.
I have been working on a project on illustrator and after a few days of working on it I open the file to see this screen filled with gray and black lines. None of the options on the top are visible and all the tools and properties windows are missing.
Windows 10 Pro - Illustrator 24.1.2
I tried opening the file from the illustrator menu, from file explorer and tried creating a new .ai file as well.
I expected to resume working on my project.
The screen was filled with black grey and white lines and I couldn't find any…

Pressing Ctrl + Win sends the active object backward
If you have at least 2 objects on the artboard and the top one is selected, pressing Control + the Windows key on Windows 10 sends the active object backward one step. It's a keyboard shortcut that doesn't appear to be editable in Keyboard Shortcuts in case it interferes with that shortcut being used for something else.

Properties panel broken since last update
Since the last update the Properties panel is broken. Even if there is enough room for all information in the panel, it shows up cropped, with a scrollbar on the side. I have to drag the panel out of it’s window and then back again to fix this, every time I start Illustrator.

Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBSince maybe last month, illustrator has been crashing more and more frequently, and at the strangest of times.

The Reflect Tool doesn't remember the last setting, (e.g. vertical 90º) and instead puts in a random angle.
