Opening and placing .psd artwork not working consistently as described in documentation.
importing images from .psd files intermittently not working as described. When opening or placing a .psd file, no option to convert layers is offered. The entire image opens right up as a single object with an opaque white background.
I have been using these packages since 1994 and this just started happening in th past few weeks. Using Windows 10, AI 23.0.6 (64-bit). PS 20.0.6 release

Make Hide Edges shortcut work when in Dialog (Swatch Options, Transform Each, etc)
In some operations (e.g. Transform Each), we discover that the selection edges are influencing the perception of the preview. It would be nice when the Hide Edges command can be triggered while still in such an operation, in stead of leaving the function, turn off Edges, and repeat.

Fonts missing and say I need to re log in
When I open a past project from creative cloud folder It directs me to find a missing font. But the font finder doesn't sync to my library. Now Im stuck with a missing font on a logo project that just messed my whole design up. Plus when I export the project as a export safe for web... png 24 the file export look pixellated and not a vector file.

Illustrator 23.0.6 MacOS High Sierra slowdown, possible memory leak.
I have noticed over the last several versions that if I leave Illustrator running for more than a few days without quitting (with and without any files open), that my system gets less and less responsive, sometimes to the point where it seems completely locked up other than cursor movement. A quick mouse over the Illustrator Icon in the dock shows that the Application is Not Responding. I have also noticed the same thing happens in Photoshop. I'm not sure if there is a memory leak in these apps or in the Creative Cloud Core environment somewhere. I took a…

Artwork in Clipping mask doesn't resize
Illustrator 2019 on PC Windows 10
When I resize artwork sometimes anything that's inside a clipping mask doesn't resize. The shape I created for the mask resizes, but the artwork 'inside' stays static.
If I undo and retry a few times it will eventually work. I'm using the 'black' arrow to select the object and resize with the handles. I'm not using either of the white arrows. So I don't think it's a selection issue on my end.

Transformations committing even upon cancel
Even MORE issues with latest version of Illustrator which are rendering it almost unusable for me. When using one of the transformation dialog boxes (Move, Rotate, Scale etc) if the preview option is selected, as you change the numerical values to see what the effect might be, it commits each of those changes. Even if you CANCEL out of the dialog box it will have made the transformations to your object and you have to make multiple undos to get back to your starting point.
Found the same issue with the Free Transform Tool, it commits changes in little stages…

Direct Selection Tool on Control Handles Doesn't Work Properly After Puppet Warp
Normally, you can adjust a single control handle of an anchor point with the Direct Selection tool without affecting the other control handle. But after you perform a Puppet Warp on a shape, this is no longer the case. Using the Direct Selection tool on a control handle affects both handles simultaneously. In order to reproduce this bug, the object you're working on may have to be a group of objects. Here is a video of the problem: https://youtu.be/qZoJOQb0seI
This is in Illustrator 23.0.6 on a Mac.

Radial grid inaccuracy
Not many may use the radial grid, but if you're into special shaping and structures you need them often. Very often. They are a super tool to divide elements, for instance. Sadly, in CC this tool is no longer precise. Not all radial dividers meet the circle around them. This means not all radial dividers are equally long, which is a pain. Attached are screenshots of a portion of the dividers in a same-size radial grid in Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC 2019, and of what happens when I try to construct something in CC, which I have given up…

Constant crashing, lagging, power drain,
Illustrator is constantly slow, lagging, crashing, unresponsive, and small files are acting like large files. I have been using Illustrator for 8 years, but now, it is affect my ability to do my job. I am so incredibly disappointed with the performance issues, slow response time, and I dread having to use this program now. The CS6 version was WAY better than this.
Please adobe, for all of your customers, fix what's broken before adding new features, and 16GB of ram is no where near enough to run this program anymore. 32... maybe.

Text with small caps is not exported correctly to SVG
When setting the small caps variant to a piece of text, this information gets lost on SVG export.
How to reproduce (Winx64, 23.0.3):
- Create a new document
- Add some text, e.g. "Some Text"
- Activate the small caps property for the text
- Export the document to SVG via File -> Export -> Export As...In the resulting SVG document, the text does not appear as small caps but instead is capitalized, e.g. "SOME TEXT".
Expected behaviour: the text should appear with small caps with the help of the font-variant: small-caps; CSS attribute.

Adobe Illustrator crashes when trying to create or open file..
I decided to use Illustrator today and when i tried to make a new file, it would open and just stay grey and eventually it would stop responding and i would have to force quit it. I tried to open a file and edit it but the same thing happens. I am using Adobe Illustrator CC 2019.

Thai text is inconsistent between Illustrator 2017 21.1.0 and 2018 22.1 OSX 10.14.6
After opening and clicking on text created in 2017 accents are moved. Font Tahoma same version in both cases. See attached.
Adobe can you look at this bug please?
Thanks R

Illustrator looses workspace settings
Good day. My problem is that I worked for a very long time in Adobe Photoshop (cs3,4,5,6, cc). But Ai surprised me - to make a backup of the workspace I have to go to AppData / Roaming / Adobe / Illustrator etc. and make a copy of the folder, because when I open a new document, I get a completely different space. (Export/import settings do not help) Why can’t you transfer the settings to the program, and not to the open document? Every time I do as I feel comfortable and every time I reduce the Tool panel, because…
