Phantom Artboard keeps appearing
After I have created multiple artboards, and click to rearrange them, I keep getting this phantom artboard that shows up. It doesn't seem to be an actual artboard - I cannot select it with the artboard selection tool, and it doesn't show up on the artboard list, but it's there, being annoying visually, and since I can't select it, I can't figure out how to make it go away. I've tried to close and reopen the file, as well as the program. The only thing that has made it go away is to recreate the artboards in a new file…

Grey blocks trailing
Using Mac OS Mojave
Version 10.14.1When I move an object within the art board, the area following it gets grayed out. If I zoom in our out, the greyed out area disappears. It's been happening ever since the 2019 update. I've attached a video screen shot.

Object mirrored and reflected in the background, macOS Mojave 10.14.1
I select an object that is in a group. It is then put in isolation mode. Then when I zoom in and out the full grouped object is behind it and reflected.

new document dialog closes if you're a power user (fast)
Once in illustrator if I want to make a new document I press command+n it brings up a new document dialog box. If you press enter while the dialog box is loading it closes. You have to then press command+n and wait for it to load and then pressing enter is successful in creating a new document. Please fix this because it's wasting people's time. Just found legacy mode so I guess that will do.

new document jumps to last page instead of first page
Occasionally when I create a new document in Illustrator CC, it jumps to the last page. Then once that document is closed and opened, it does it again.
Am I missing something? Never use to do this.
Thanks!
1 voteWe open a file to the last saved view. So by design Illustrator will open to the artboard(page) and zoom level that was when the file was last saved.

New Project Screen Overflows Window
When I create a new document in Illustrator (either by clicking "Create New" or by using Ctrl-N), the New Project screen overflows the window so that the document setup bar is cut off. When the window is smaller, the leftmost edge of the bar is visible; when the window is fullscreen, none of the bar is visible. (See attached screenshots.)
This has been going on for several weeks. I have tried restarting Illustrator and restarting my whole computer, but neither helps.
I am running Illustrator 22.6 on a Windows 10 laptop.

Links showing up when image is placed but not when file is opened
- macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and Illustrator 23.0.1 (and previously 23.0.0).
I've opened a client supplied illustrator pdf and it shows that all the links are missing. When I place that same file into a new artboard (instead of using file>open) it has all the links embedded and high resolution. I have restarted and updated illustrator with no change.

Illustrator will not let me align my art manually
I am working a normal piece(s) of art. I did one exactly like this yesterday on the same artboards, different client. I am unable to manually align the art to the artboard or the bleed guides as shown first image. I decided to shutdown Illustrator and the PC and then start them again. When opened I tried to move the art again and it still will not let me align the art. I disposed of the art on the artboard. Opened the clients art, copied it and pasted it in my layers to the artboard. Again I tried to manually…

Asset Export Undo Deletion
If I delete an asset from the Asset Export Panel, I cannot "undo" to bring it back. I would like to be able to do this in the same way as undoing to restore swatches, layers etc.

Place Jumbling Points on Artwork
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Illustrator 22.1
I was working on an ad and placed the logo of the company and part of the logo looked strange. Turns out it is jumbling random points on random outlines of the logo.
Regular place.
Jumbled partial logo.

artboard size problem
Artboard and this rectangle are supposedly the same size but they do not match at all. I am trying to create A1 file sizes for print and they are incorrect because of this bug or whatever it is. This is messing with my files and I am so tired of things not working for print because they aren't the correct size.
