New & Save As
New & Save As is not working in Illustrator. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, made sure all the preferences are the same, but there still seems to be the same issue. Is there going to be an update to fix this or is there something I can do my end to fix it? Thank you.

Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1
Hello,
I'm trying to copy the name of my working file and paste it into the name of the folder I just created (with the help of the keyboard shortcut), but it doesn't paste the name. I have to paste the name with the help of right click of the mouse. Can you fix this situation?

Trim View gets disabled when switching artboards with Pixel Preview on
In a document with multiple artboards and bled artwork.
In Pixel Preview Mode, Turn on Trim View. Select a Different Artboard. Trim View Turns Off.With no shortcut for Trim View this means you have to go back to the menu for every artboard you click. If you're working with 15+ artboards this process becomes tedious.

Direct selection tool appears to move whole object until mouse release
When part of an object is selected using the direct selection tool (selection tool and holding 'V' key down) the whole object appears to move to the new position until the mouse is released, at which point all the unselected points snap back to their original position. I'm assuming this is a bug and not intended?

Cmd + Tab app switching forcibly keeps Illustrator in focus
When Illustrator (at full-screen mode) is in focus, and when executing the quick-app-switching Mac shortcut (cmd+tab) to the previous app, Illustrator always remains in focus. Even though the OS thinks the new app has focus — it will, for instance, invisibly receive keyboard inputs — Illustrator's UI nevertheless retains complete hold over the display, save for the OS toolbar. Chrome, Finder, even something as simple as Calculator; none of them show up. I've had to downgrade to Illustrator v.25 just to get work done.

Clipping Mask gets rendered wrong
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
Just recently install the macOS Monterey
Using the newest version of Illustrator 2022The clipping mask doesn't work after I zoom in or zoom out.
It shows what is inside the clipping mask with different shapes randomly every time just like the images below. I have to move around the image to get the original shape of the clipping mask.It works quite well in Illustrator 2018 actually.
But the Illustrator 2018 version seems can not be downloaded anymore.I think people should be allowed to download the older version which they found most…

Editing pattern or symbol changes selected layer
Upon exiting edit mode for symbols or patterns the selected layer will change to the top-most layer. It should remember the selected layer prior to entering edit mode and maintain that.

Text updates only appear after moving the text box
Editing text in a text box still shows the old text/does not show the update. Only after moving the text object does it update. New text shows on hover/while editing, but it is overlaid onto the old text. Seems like the graphics aren't refreshing as they should.

'Export as' SVG No Longer Includes Width/Height on Embedded Images
When exporting an AI file with an embedded PNG screenshot (added via File > Place) as an SVG, the <image> tag in the exported SVG file is no longer being created with "width" and "height" attributes.
This creates an error when trying to use the exported SVG in XMLmind (which states that there is no width attribute on the <image> tag), and I imagine in other contexts as well.
We're on an enterprise cloud subscription of Illustrator, so at any given time we're working with the most up-to-date version. In a similar file I exported to SVG back in January…

Copying and Constraining using keyboard shortcuts (Opt/Shift) is causing error sound
This version of Illustrator (26.1) on MacOS Monterey 12.3 is sporadically having problems with taking an object and using keyboard shortcuts to copy/constrain (option/shift). At seemingly random times when trying to copy an object with option held down or option/shift held down and dragging the object with the mouse, I am getting the error noise and then a rejection of what I was trying to do. It happens frequently throughout my workflow, but I'm not sure exactly what is triggering it. Sometimes I get the error noise when simply dragging an object around the artboard, but again seems totally random.

Illustrator changing color values every time I reopen program v 26.0.2
I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm using illustrator from the cloud version 26.0.2 on Mac Monterey v 12.1. Every time I close out a file and reopen it the hex colors are changed. I have never touched the setting on my colors. I've attached an example below. You can see that when I was previously working in the file I listed the hex code, but now when I open it it is different. Please help. This is making my branding impossible and I'm turning in projects incorrectly as a result.

Illustrator won't let me save
Whether I open an existing ai file or start a new, when I got to save the document, it opens up the save menu however then it doesn't allow me to click on any section, not even the side menu to desktop, and you can see the save button is greyed out? Please can you provide a solution?
