Illustrator not copying svg code to clipboard
After updating to v 27.5, objects that I copy and then paste into other apps are pasting as un-antialiased rasterized images. Previously, the copied data would paste as vectors into apps that accept svg data, and antialiased transparent png images in other apps. To get around this I am first pasting into XD, then copying the data as svg. It would be good to restore the original behavior of the clipboard

Automatic hyphenation with + instead of -
Sometimes (not always), the automatic hyphenation divides the word with an "+" sign, instead of a "-" sign, which it should be. It appears with various fonts, it is NEVER reliable, sometimes I write a PDF for the customer, it has the + inside, I see it, I open the AI again and everything if fine again, without restarting anything or changing anything. Sometimes it gets not written correctly for weeks and I have to hyphenate myself, which we all know, is a drag in Illustrator.
Where is the Problem located, and how do we fix it.

Can't open specific files by double clicking icons (macOS Ventura)
ファイルアイコンをダブルクリックしてもファイルが開かないことがあります。Creative Cloud Files に置いてある .ai データで発生する事象のようですが、正常に開くファイルもあり、法則性は今のところわからないですですが、開かないファイルが置いてあるのと同一のフォルダ内にある他のファイルもことごとく開かないのでフォルダによって挙動が異なるのかもしれません。（フォルダ名やファイル名に関するエラーメッセージなどは CC アプリでは表示されていません）

There's a problem creating a NEW link to share the document after the initial link has been created.
If you open an exiting document that has been shared with a link, resave the file with a new name, make changes, then try to create a new link, you will get an error.

"The file is not readable" Can't paste image into Illustrator without saving it to computer
When I try to paste an image I copied from pinterest/google etc, it always shows "the file is not readable". Now I have to save every image I want and then drag and drop/place it in illustrator. Which is an additional step I don't need and is very frustrating.
I've never had this problem before. Can anyone help?

Glitch in Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle effect
When applying Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle effect to an object, and applying a corner radius larger than the shape can support, one side of the rounded rectangle is given an extra anchor point with adjustment handles that make an overlap visible. This only occurs on one side of the object.
The desired result is that the corners meet at a single anchor point, as on the right hand side of the objects in the attached AI file.

Illustrator 2023 crashes when clicking the scroll bar in the font selection dialog
Ever since I installed Illustrator 2023 the entire program will hang when using the mouse, trackpad or wacom pen to select the scroll bar in the font selection drop down menu
Fonts can still be chosen using the cursor keys to navigate up and down. Previous versions of Illustrator are still working as expected so I haven't been able to track down a corrupt font.
I have tried a uninstall/reinstall and resetting of preferences. Nothing seems to work.
This is on an M1 Mac (but also has replicated on an Intel Macbook Pro both on MacOS Monterey.

BUG: Saving file breaks paragraphs created with Area Type Tool into separate objects
I am a comic book letterer who has been using Illustrator for this purpose for several years. I have separate layers for artwork, captions, and text. I have been using the area type tool to place text for the speech bubbles, which are oval in shape. While working the layers look fine. Upon Save and then re-opening, however, each of the lines in the speech bubble is saved as a separate text object rather than as a paragraph. On some pages, the text is broken up even further so that the letters are different objects.

Cannot save Illustrator file to Dropbox but can save to Desktop on Mac OS Monterey
I am running Mac OS X Monterey (12.6.5) and Illustrator 2023 on an Intel Mac (Mac Pro 2014). Unusual bug: when I try to save an .ai file to the Desktop, no problem. However, when I try to save to a Dropbox folder, I get a message that I do not have access privileges and I get the -5000 code. I can first save to the Desktop and then drag to the Dropbox folder When I try to do the same in Adobe Photoshop: no problem, so it appears to be an Illustrator-specific issue. I have tried: restarting computer, fixing…

Schwarze Rechtecke statt eingefügter Bilder / Placed images turn black
AI 2.7
Mac OS MontereyDie meissten der eingebetteten Bilder (tifs und pngs) werden plötzlich nur noch als schwarze Rechtecke dargestellt.
Keine Problemlösung nach Neustart.
Da es sich um mehr als 50 Bilder handelt wäre ein neu einrichten aller Bilddateien eine Mammut-Aufgabe.

Selecting all objects on layer via Layers panel not recognized by Intertwine

Click target button for Objects layer (to select all paths on that layer)
Choose Object > Intertwine... note that Make is gray
Instead, in Layers panel click to select first object and Shift + click to select last object. Object > Intertwine > Make is available1 voteDon't use the Target column to select all object in a layer, use the Selection column in Layers panel instead.
The longer discussion is in comments.

Dashed lines not working
I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and using AI Version 27.5.
I am trying to add dashed lines to a line segment which has the colour R165 G25 B130, they are also on the same sub-layer. I select the setting to add it but it does not visually appear dashed.
However, it does work on another similar line of a different colour.
I also cannot change the colour of the first line as well.
The video attached shows the issue.
How can I fix this issue?
