Visual bug
A small visual bug that seemed to pop up in Illustrator 2020 after using the brush tool. There will be a circle that will appear on the artboard at random places depending on where you are zooming or panning around with the spacebar. You can quickly get rid of it by hitting "Ctrl"

crashing
Crashes when opening preferences. Slow overall (and non-responsive) performance on a brand new Mac. 2020 Illustrator is beta garbage and does not run dependably. InDesign is just as bad.

Export for screens > SVG Exports only some of the artboards.
MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
Illustrator 24.0When I use the export for screens it doesn't export all of my artboards to SVG. I have 21 artboards and only 8 of them are being exported.
Is there any workaround for this bug?
UPDATE: It exports all the artboards but it takes a long long time. Is it normal?
Thanks

Only one backstep at a time possible
ai lets me backstep only once or twice bevore stalling. After ca. 2 minutes another backstep is possible. Sometimes several backsteps are possible but it will stall from time to time. If I wait, it will recover, but it's impossible to work in this way.
Is there a solution to this?

Illustrator 2020 Character Styles Not in English
For some reason in the "Character Styles" window, it says [Estilo de caractere normal] instead of [Normal character style] My language is set to English. I think this is a glitch?

Illustrator 24 does not memorize the artboards when saving as a PDF page
Hi, now I am facing an unpleasant problem.
After upgrading to the latest version of Illustrator (24), Illustrator stopped remembering the last selected artboard. I have to select it every time I save it to PDF. Quite annoying error. Has any of you met this before?
The next mistake is, if the PDF already exists, it will not notify you that it is already and overwrite it directly.More here: https://youtu.be/Yx8Dsw2-1Ho

Extra Drop down Item
Win10 Pro 64-bit | AI 2020cc
Just pointing out the extra "Object" item on the Select drop-down (see attached). It does nothing and does not seem to be causing an issue.
Also, I've noticed that when saving a file, it takes much longer than the previous version.
Thanks

Watercolor Brush
3 Second+ Lag when using Basic Watercolor brush.
This is making some projects nearly unusable on the newest version. I don't know if the performance problems are similar for other brush types. But it brings Illustrator to a crawl on my workstation which should be overkill for running Illustrator.

BUG: Can't open one EPS file, but can another in Illustrator
I have downloaded an EPS file from my email to do some edits on from another design team and it comes up with the error message,
"The file 'Worldmark.eps' is an unknown format and cannot be opened."
However, I can open other EPS files from my email as well as from my external drive and hard drive.

SVGs: Objects with dashed lines are split up
Hello,
I create an object (rectangle) in the AI with a dashed line (8px / 8px). Contour 2px and grey filling.
If I save this object as *.svg and then open the saved SVG again, the path of the rectangle is fragmented.
This denomination always occurs just before the corners. In other words, a rectangle is divided into 4 paths and becomes a group...Version: AI 23.1
Windows 10 Enterprise
Intel Core i7-6820IQ 2.70 Ghz
16 GB RAM1 voteSorry for a late answer. Basically it happens because of 'Align dashes to corners' option that is turned on for the object in Stroke panel. When it's on, Illustrator internally treats this stoke exactly like you have in the SVG — a group of normal dashed lines with recalculated gaps and dashes, and custom inserts where it's required.
SVG just can't handles this, so to preserve the look it applies this treatment, converting it from the 'live' to 'expanded'.
Try to disable the option and comment back if it helps.

Keyboard shortcuts missing in File New dialog
In the legacy File New dialog, there are keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate the settings, such as Alt+W for the Width input and Alt+L for Bleed. These are missing in the newer File New dialog.
Luckily, we can still use Illustrator's Preferences to revert back to the legacy dialog, but keyboard shortcuts still do need to be implemented on the new dialog.

Stroke displaying incorrectly and offset path broken
In the first screenshot i show where i have duplicated an outlined letter R and rotated and it is rendering the stroke differently on both.
I have also had issues with using offset instead where the stroke is broken on some letters even though the path is closed, see other screenshot (Q).1 vote
