Problem with center align and arrowheads (v 23.1)
I have a few simple lines with arrowheads. When I try to use center align to line these elements up, the arrowheads swap ends on some lines. The alignment works, but when I try to undo this, the arrowhead doesn't revert to original direction? This seems to be a bug.

Workspace migration not working
Illustrator v24.0
Mac OS 10.14.6
I thought it worked in previous versions. When I installed InDesign 2020, my 2019 custom workspaces were included. In Illustrator they are not included and I have to recreate them, which is a royal pain. Is this a bug or just a dropped feature?1 vote -

Outlines of shapes under top shape showing through fill of top shape
Outlines of shapes underneath top shape are showing through though there is no transparency or opacity settings effected. Top shape is brought forward but it's acting like its transparent to outlines. (images showing problem and transparency settings attached)

This is no a problem UserVoice forums can help to solve, unfortunately, for many reasons.
You have to contact support to deal with it, if this is still a case.

Illustrator 23.1.1 flickering panels on mouse release
Layers Panel flicker
After upgrading to Illustrator 23.1.1 on a mac each time a mouse click is released on the artboard or when text will be deleted step by step, the layer panel and some times symbols and type formats panel, too, will flash or flicker.
Switching off GPU usage does not change it anyway.
It's driving me crazy...
This flashing is irritating.

ActiveX component can't create object: 'Illustrator.Application'
We recently upgraded to CC 2019. version 23.0.6.
Vbscripts are now unable to execute. They fail on:
Set appRef = CreateObject('Illustrator.Application')
with the error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Illustrator.Application'
This functionality is important to our workflow.

User Interface slide scale not on my Illustrator 2019
Having issues with 2019 version while using hotdoor CADtools. Viewed great with 2018, but in 2019, it's too tiny to read. Solution I am given is to go to Preferences>User Interface and up the scale. And I'm shown the screenshot (attached) for the adjustment scale. However, my AI has the screen (attached) w/o any scale. Why is this? Running Windows 10 Pro / 64-bit. Screens are in set in Portrait mode w 1080 x 1920 res. Again, the CADtools worked great in 2018 Illustrator but not in 2019.

Applying 'line' freeform gradient crashes Illustrator
Trying to change any freeform gradient's 'Draw' setting from 'Points' to 'Lines' results in an immediate crash, no matter what shape it's being applied to.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator multiple times, and completely reset all user configuration settings, and this behavior remains unchanged.

Art board freezes, then disappears
I use a Wacom to draw my art on Adobe Illustrator 2019 cc, 23.0.6 64 Bit. I haven't had any problems drawing, but today I am only able to draw a few items before the art board completely freezes and I can't draw anymore. HOWEVER, when looking at my layers, everything I draw shows up. I just can't see it on the actual art board. The things I was able to draw, I am unable to move or change. Then trying to fix it, the whole art board disappears, but it still says it there on the Layers tab...
Please…

Missing embedded graphic upon export
I am creating a poster in Illustrator. I had a linked .png file that I had converted to black and white to use as a raster texture effect over my vector artwork. I accidentally had set my color mode to RGB when I created the file, so I converted to cmyk. When I had exported to RGB previous to this, everything exported fine. However, when I converted to cmyk, and I tried exporting, the raster image was missing upon export. I searched the web and tried saving the image as a TIFF & relinking, then as a PSD file and…
