Moving an artboard using the Artboard Tool moves non-overlapping paths and shapes in adjacent artboards
Moving an artboard should only move paths and shapes within the artboard and paths and shapes overlapped from other artboards. If possible, overlapped paths and shapes should only move if a majority is in the selected artboard.

Why is illustrator running so slow on my laptop?
Illustrator runs really slow on my laptop running windows 10. It is provided by my employer and is one of the fastest you can currently buy. Im running 16mb RAM.
A simple logo takes a minute or more to open. BUT when I take my laptop offline it seems to work alot quicker.
No such issues with InDesign or Photoshop.
So Illustrator seems to want to know everything I do and slows my workflow down massively. When I have a complicated peice of work I am waiting five minutes or more for it to either open or save. I save…1 vote -
Fonts not updating on the fly
Copied from my forum inquiry that I eventually solved on my own...
I am a type designers & I use illustrator in building & testing fonts as part of my production workflow. I use the same array of font apps along with my cc2019 suite on 2 different machines. One is a mac mini one is an imac, both are on the latest mac os.
On the mac mini, with Illustrator open I can see changes to a font immediately reflected in the document. In other words if I replace a .otf or .ttf font file installed at mac hd/library/fonts…

Free Distort doesn't apply to certain gradient strokes
I was working on a type effect when I realized the Free Distort filter (found under Effect > Distort & Transform > Free Distort) doesn't apply when the selected object uses a stroke with a gradient that is applied along or across the stroke. Is this intentional? I hope it isn't since it doesn't seem intentional.
Here's how I did it.
Create a rectangle. Make sure it has a fill color. Then add a stroke and pick a gradient. Change the stroke style to be either the second or third option. Then apply the Free Distort filter to the object…1 vote -
New document window sticks to single space when working in macOS
When you start a new document, if you switch spaces in macOS Mojave, the new document window sticks to the original space it was opened in instead of following the user from space to space. This can lead one to think that Illustrator is frozen or stuck as the workspace is locked when the new document window is open. Double clicking Illustrator on the dock does not switch the user back to the space the new document window is in.

Embedding link/image and it duplicates itself in top left corner
Occasionally, when i embed an image in the link menu, it will duplicate that image in the top right hand corner of my document. The one I embedded into the document is embedded, but the "new" duplicate is still linked. I just noticed this happening as of recently.

Move window doesnt update with most current move value
When I drag an object with the selection tool that move used to be reflected when I opened the move dialogue. However now that dialogue gets stuck on a previous move unless I use the direct selection tool to move the object.
I am using the most current version of Illustrator CC on a 2013 Macbook running Catalina.

v23.1.1: Text with the "Outline Object" effect and Preview Bounds enabled has shifted to the right when opening an existing file
We have existing AI files with text, which has the following characteristics:
- Text has the Outline Object effect enabled;
- Illustrator preferences "Preview Bounds" is checked;
- Paragraph is "centred"When we open these AI files we find that the text has been shifted to the right a little bit.
This has occurred on both the Windows 10 and Mac OS Mojave operating systems. To fix the issue we downgraded to Illustrator 23.0.6

Illustrator randomly deform random nodes and elongates them!
illustrator ver 23.1.1
os ver macos 10.13.6
16gb 2.8ghz hd5750gpu board.While working with illustrator (2018-2019 both are doing the same thing. While moving or duplicating curved objects around the page, or while saving the document, it's randomly picks a one of curve nodes and elongates them to random length. Done experimenting with other mac stations and same file, we cannot reproduce this behaviour. Uninstalled - reinstalled illustrator and updated os system didnt help either.

Flashing screen when loading multiple files at once
When multiple files are loaded at one time when the Application Frame is disabled it will result in an annoying screen flicker/blinking of each file loading as a new window. The more files that are loaded at once the more blinking you will be blinded by.
Usually of Illustrator preloads all of the files first and then loaded the main window/set of tabs, as apposed to loading each tab one at a time with this visual annoyance.
I've tested this on earlier on Illustrator 23.1.1 on High Sierra and this issue does not occur.
It does occur on my primary…

Make CMD+D to behave the same way in both Illustrator and InDesign
I like the CMD+D on Illustrator but want that on InDesign for duplicating things easier, and I also like the CMD+D on InDesign and I want that on Illustrator to relink photos easier. So maybe keep the CMD+D the same in both and create a new left hand command for the other?
I'm down1 voteYou can reassign these commands to new hotkeys manually to any combination you need, using Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
If you think that all Adobe apps should have the same keyboard shortcuts anyway, you can try to upvote this general request.

CC Libraries panel doesn't respond when clicked
My CC Libraries opens, shows me everything but when I click on let's say a color to swap it does nothing. None of the libraries work. It's like the I'm clicking in a ghost swatch or something. I even reinstalled illustrator to see if it would help. Nothing. Bug or fixable?

Tracking plus center/right justify broken
macOS 12.13, Illustrator 2019 v23.1.1
The v23.1 update broke center/right justify on point type when tracking is applied. When tracking is applied, and type is center or right justified, the alignment uses the tracking after the last character to determine the center or right alignment point, then the type is not visually aligned correctly.
To reproduce in v23.1.1:
Create a point type object, type XX for the text.
Center justify the type. The type will correctly be centered exactly between the 2 X's.
Add a lot of tracking to the type, the anchor point (center) will be just to the…

With GPU acceleration on, click on rule when an art-board is under this rule, the art-board becomes active.
No problem if GPU is Off.
- Create a document with 2 art-boards,
- Show rules and switch to art-board rules (Display/Rules/),
Click on a rule when an art-board is under this rule, the art-bord under the rule become the active art-board. This is not the expected behavior.
On the other hand, the behavior is correct when GPU acceleration is off.1 vote -
Linked images opening in Photoshop by accident
Especially big files (exhibition walls etc.) operate so slowly that it often happens by accident that linked images open in Photoshop - although no double-click on the photo ever happened. I'd like to be able to turn off the image opening by double-click. If I want to edit images, I do this via the links panel.

Export to a local folder url beyond iCloud fails to pick up the full url
When I go File > Export > Export for Screens in Illustrator 23.1.1 (and for quite a few versions now) the local URL in 'Export to:' does not seem to want to register beyond the point at which the iCloud cloud icon appears in my folders. So a folder needs to be fully local on my macbook - otherwise I have to manually look up and type in the subfolders that I want to export to.
