Applied gradient disappears
I use the same gradient for several objects in a illustration. When closing and opening the document, one of the objects the gradient disappears and is filled black. The preview looks fine.
I already found the problem. It happens with compound paths with a single anker point is inclosed.

Colors in vector art cannot be changed unless all old swatches are deleted first
If I want to change certain colors in a vector illustration, I cannot just go into edit colors > recolor artwork and change them. I must first delete the original swatches and then change the colors or else the colors will revert back to their original values. I think that old swatches should be unlinked from artwork if they are changed.

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.

Transparency / Swatches
Quando a janela de Transparency está sobre a janela de Swatches e eu clico, se estiver sobre uma cor, um único click é como se fossem dois. Acaba trocando a cor do objeto que estiver selecionado.

swatches are not saving
My swatches are not saving to my library after closing the program and have to remake them. My brushes are doing the same thing. They are also not there when I open a new document during the same session that I have made/saved the new swatch or brush. I looked to update my program but it appears to be up to date.

Bug: Stroke color with 0pt width causes a switch to "outline" view.
When I have a path with a stroke of 0pt and I try to apply color, it will switch to "outline" view and won't allow me to go back to "GPU Preview", tell me something like "Can't render preview".
The only way to bypass the bug, is to save the file, close Illustrator, open it again and voila everything works.Unfortunatelly, I can't reproduce the bug right now.

Color panel problem.
Mac OS 10.14.3
Illustrator CC V23.0.2The panel display default is the spectrum, even when I specifically select CMYK (or RGB for that matter) unless "Show Options" is selected. Color values should be the default. Can this be fixed?

Color Gray printing as brown when saving from Illustrator CC v23.0.2 to CS4
MacOS Mojave v10.14.4 & Illustrator CC v23.0.2
When saving a file from Illustrator CC v23.0.2 to CS4 the gray colors print as brown but if I save the file as the current Illustrator CC v23.0.2 it prints as gray as it should. It is a CMYK document with only K values. Discovered this from printing an older document created 08/2019 then printing the new document. The old document was also saved from the version at that date to CS4 but the new document saving to CS4 printed as brown not gray.1 voteRequest to Contact Support ·AdminRama

Stop automatically changing RGB files to grayscale when working with colors
Illustrator takes an RGB file and converts it to grayscale when changing the color of paths. For example- in an RGB file I change a path to red. Illustrator turns the path gray and converts the file to grayscale. I then have to convert the file back to RGB in order for the path to show as red.

gradient locks to a color stop in the color tab. If I want to use a solid fill on the color tab it only allows me to change the color stop.
gradient locks to a color stop in the color tab. If I want to use a solid fill, on the color tab it only allows me to change the color stop. I cannot do anything to escape out of the gradient stop. I have to remove the gradient first then choose a color. Older versions allowed me to just click on the color fill box and I can toggle between gradient stop and object fill.

We have disabled Overprint in Gradient stroke for the particular eps. But once we save the eps file and again open the same eps in illustrator, automatically overprint enabled.
Due to this we have received quality issue in Printer. So please let me know how to disable overprint for Gradient Stroke.
