  1. Not sure but it's happening

    Adobe Illustrator 24.2 64-bit
    Windows 10 Home

    So I thought it was my corsair scimitar pro was the problem, but outside adobe, my mouse seems to work fine.

    the issue is, when I work in illustrator, my mouse acts like I released my left mouse button. So for example, when I'm making a rectangle, it sometimes randomly stops making the rectangle like I release my button. Or when dragging it releases.. anybody having this issue?

  2. Rotate tool

    in Illustrator 24.2 the rotate tool often seems to default back to random numbers now instead of to the last used or something that might make sense (eg 90). eg 93.24

  3. Snap to point not working and please allow files to reopen after crash/restart/reopen

    Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, Illustrator 24.2

    Selection points no longer seem to appear on hover and snap to point isn't working even if I quit the app and restart.

    This is getting kind of ridiculous - trying to work is frustrating if you need to be precise with something.

    Also... please please Adobe - why is it almost every other company has managed to give us the option to reopen after quit with the same files open but you still haven't?? Today Creative Cloud told me I had 7 updates available and I thought, ok great, maybe just maybe…

  4. Objects deselect on copy or paste (Illustrator 2019)

    This is a bug, not an idea.

    Sometimes when copying an object or pasting, the copied or pasted object does not remain selected.

    This is far less than ideal, especially when using Paste in Front.

    Happens in Illustrator 2019 / OSX Catalina

  5. Pasting goes to the back of the layer - and not on top!!!!!

    When copying an object and then pasting the new object goes to the back of the stack of objects and not to the front! Please fix and make it go to the top.

  7. Reveal in Bridge not working

    At first, I was trying to 'Reveal in Bridge'. Bridge would open but wouldn't navigate to my link.

    So I updated to the latest version of Illustrator CC (I was one version behind) and now the 'Reveal in Bridge' option is greyed out.

    How about a nice 'Reveal in Finder/Explorer' option that we'd all prefer?

  9. Latest version takes a long time to open and save files often 5 minutes or more for a simple file this is not acceptable.

    latest version of illustrator is taking forever to save or open files often more than 5 minutes for a simple file, this is not a network issue as it does the same even to desktop. this is not acceptable and needs fixing very quickly

  12. Random bug of unselected object frame, from locked layer, visible even though not selected

    Only way to remove the frame is to shut the file down and then reopen. Unable to take a screen shot as the frame disappears when taking it.

  14. Can't see things I just did.

    When I move an object or make a change to my file it doesn't show up until I click in the document. Then, the object shows up in the new location. I have to restart the program and it works for a few minutes, then happens again. Really frustrating. I am on a new computer with the current version of Illustrator. It happened in older versions on my older computer as well.

  15. Copy Paste Causes Illustrator to Crash Repeatedly

    Illustrator crashes before I can Paste a Copy for SPOT UV in Artboard in two ways.
    1. CTRL C causes immediate crash.
    2. Select Copy from drop down menu also causes crash.
    Performed Windows 10 update few hours before crashing started to occur but unsure if Illustrator was included. Creative Cloud shows I'm up to date but doesn't specify the actual date. So, I cant say for sure if the update is causing the problem.

  18. CSS Properties: Generated CSS selectors are wrong sometimes

    Hi.
    OS: Windows 10 x64
    Illustrator: 24.1.2 and older versions

    Steps:
    I have drawn two paths (shapes) on the same layer.
    I have given these names:
    abc1 and abc11 to each path

    When I select one of them, the generated css in CSS properties panel is ok, the selector's name is right. The issue happens just when I select both paths at the same time and try to generate the CSS.

    The selector name for abc11, is changed wrongly to abc111 (an extra 1 at the end).

    Expected result:
    .abc1
    {
    position : absolute ;
    left : 120px;
    top :…
