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.

The document "annoyingbug.ai" is currently getting saved. Try again after the process is complete. "The document "annoyingbug.ai" is currently getting saved. Try again after the process is complete." This pops up when you use save as while there is a save currently going on.
This dialog box was removed when closing the document in 24.1.1. Can we also get it removed when using save as?
Would be nice if the save as started once the current save is done like in previous versions.
Thanks,

embedded images cause longs delays in opening file illustrator 24.0.2 When opening some files with embedded images, there are very long delays before the file finally opens.
I have had success when I flatten the embedded image, it then opens fine.

Stroke smaller than 1pt creating spikes/anomalies on the curve Illustrator 2020 24.0.3
macOS Catalina 10.15.2Need hairline stroke (.003pt) for one of my machines. When I outline Helvetica (Type>Create Outlines), and change the stroke to anything smaller than 1pt, the curves of the font blow out and create spikes. I've been using the same method for several years and this had only just now become an issue.
Tried other fonts and only seems to happen on curves. If I try to use the file anyway and my machine does not recognize the file as having any data in it.

Embedding multiple .psd files Embedding multiple .psd files no longer works in 2020. Previous versions would allow you to multi-select linked .psd's and embed them all at once. 2020 allows multi-selection, but only converts the first linked image.

Illustrator 2019- always making a selection When I want to use the application, illustrator decides it wants to draw a selection. If I reach out of the workspace to use the toolbars or panels, it will draw a selection from on the artboard to my cursor, as if I were clicking and dragging. If I click back onto the artboard to disengage the selection and try to use the panels, it will make a new selection from the point I clicked. This renders the program unusable. There is also a lot of lag when navigating menus, and the cursor will decide to stick to the scrollbars…

Simplify Path Creates New Shape on a New Layer on Each Adjustment Hi! I was trying to use the Simplify Path tool in the latest Illustrator 2019 (23.0.6) and I am getting this weird error. If I have the preview mode selected, each time I make an adjustment in the dialog box a new layer is created. By default, it selects that new shape to update the path without a clear way to go back unless you go to the original layer and begin again in which the whole process starts over. If this is supposed to be an improvement in the feature I'm not quite sure how? Please let me know…
