Artwork from CC Libraries doesn't keep its name when placed into other apps
It used to be that when you added AI artwork into a CC library and gave it a name there, it kept its name when the artwork was placed into for example InDesign document. All my libraries have artwork with names, but when I place any of them into InDesign it simply shows up as "Artwork 1.ai" in Links. However, this doesn't seem to be buggy for all artwork in the CC libraries, just new ones I created in the last few days.

Save for WEB makes main window unaccessible
Open Save for WEB => change the Image Size => hit Enter. Sometimes the next window popups invisible and I have no access to it. Thus it is impossible to close the Save dialog and get back to the artwork. Anywhere I click I only hear the ding sound (meaning like I have to confirm or cancel something first).
Save for Web window is inaccessible with mouse too: I cant resize it or interact with any of its UI elements. I can move it tho.But I can jump elements with the Tab button. With Tab, if I hit Enter while any of the UI elements is highlighted its only pops up a save window (titled as 'Save optimized As'). Then I am able to save the image but I still can not close the Save for WEB dialog so it is impossible to return to work. I must only force close the App with OS dialog.
I can browse the Illustrator menu but all items are grayed out.
It's a sort of rare bug but I've faced it twice for the last two weeks.
Mac OS Catalina, Latest Illustrator.

Artboard size doesn’t match the trim box in Acrobat
This file has an artboard size of 10mm in Illustrator, yet when opened in Acrobat the trim box shows as 10.283mm rather than 10mm. Why is this?

Export as SVG does not properly respect letter-spacing style on text
When saving as SVG, the exporter temperamentally interprets letter-spacing as either 0 (no style exported) or "1". E.g. within Illustrator I might set letter-spacing to 185, this would be exported as just "1" without a unit. Furthermore, if I open the file again, Illustrator interprets this as "90", and if I save again, the exporter exports without any letter-spacing.

Links panel expands uselessly to the right
Make the addresses in the links panel wrap inside the width of the panel as set by the user. As it is, if the address is long we lose site of the tools (relink, go to, edit, etc) of the right side of the screen and have to drag the panel back into view. Please......

Placed strokes don't save scale once embeded
If you place an AI file with strokes, scale the placement and then embed the link the strokes go back to their original size before the scale. The strokes view the correct size until you embed it.
Scale strokes & effect is checked in the scale window and in the prefs. Any other setting/pref that can fix that? or is this just a bug?

"Neu Färben" erscheint nicht in dem "Eigenschaften Menu"
Windows 10
Man nimmt ein Objekt und schneidet aus diesem Objekt ein anderes Objekt. Wenn dieser Ergebnis ausgewählt wird erscheint "Neu Färben nicht". Aber wenn ich ein einfaches Objekt nehme(Kreis, Dreieck, Rechteck). Dann erscheint "Neu Färben" in den Eigenschaften Menü. Ich denke "Neu Färben" muss immer erscheinen und es ist egal welche Objekte ausgewählt werden.
Sie haben viele Werkzeugen, aber die alle halbwegs funktionieren. Und darüber ärgere mich immer wieder :(

Image in Clipping mask as well as everything on its layer disappears constantly
Image in Clipping mask as well as everything on its layer disappears constantly. The image isn't displaced but when I double click where it is it shows itself in Isolation mode. Its terribly annoying.It shows as an outline but doesn't show up at all otherwise.

Pasting in Front objects from different groups puts copies in the topmost group
This is in latest version as of today's date. An annoying bug which was not present in older versions of illustrators and is reproducible:
Create two vector objects and group them
Duplicate this group (this is just to provide two groups, the problem exists across all groups of objects)
Use Direct Select (A) to select one object from within each of these groups
Copy (Ctrl+C)
Paste in Front or Paste Behind will paste one object in front or behind and move the other selected object to that depth
Regular paste pastes two objects as expected.2 votes -

Embedded Bitmap .Tif Files slowing down performance
MacOS Big Sur 11.2
iMac Pro (2017)
Processor: 3 GHz 10-Core Intel Xeon W
Memory: 64GB
Graphics: Radeon Pro Vega 63 16 GB
Adobe Illustrator: V 25.2.1Embedded bitmap tif files have suddenly starting causing hindered performance. While still "linked", the bitmaps seems fine. But after embedding those linked files, they cause considerable "beach-balling" while attempting to transform them in any way, toggling their visibility on/off, or zooming in/out. All vector layers remain unaffected when the embedded bitmap layers are hidden. This is occurring on both newly created files, and older .ai files that previously had no issues. These embedded files have shown little or no lagtime in the past, dating back to my previous 10yr old mac setup
The imbedded files are photoshop 600ppi bitmap .tifs saved with compression.

Overprint Setting & colour settings
Issue one
Overprint can’t be applied to groups. Individual objects within that group remain unset to overprint, even though the tick box claims it’s overprinting — it is not. This is misleading & downright dangerous.Furthermore, the color issue shown in the video. Your objects should not do that, it again expands the risk for error. Basically all the print sensitive setting in AI latest version have stopped functioning logically, if you ask me & really up the risk for errors in print. Never mind that going through all objects individually is tedious & unnecessary, it prolongs the process & hampers workflow. It did do this in the previous iteration of AI, please fix this urgently.

Workspaces don't load when CC updates
Every time CC updates AI, my custom workspaces don't work. Either:
a) the toolbar on the right side of the screen doesn't load at all, and going to the Window menu and clicking on the palettes I want shows them checked but they don't show up, or
b) the right toolbar shows up collapsed, but clicking on the palette's icon does not open it up. I have to expand the entire toolbar to use the palettes.
This is really annoying, especially since it happens every single time AI updates. Sometimes quitting and reloading AI fixes the problem; other times I have to restart my whole computer. I'm on the clock for clients and I don't have time for this nonsense on the regular.
