Inconsistencies in adding gradient swatches in Adobe software and Adobe's instructions for Illustrator gradient swatches are incorrect Only one of the methods listed on the Adobe Illustrator help page regarding adding gradient swatches actually works..
There is no 'Add to Swatches' button in the Gradient menu (in fact, there is no Gradient menu, only a Gradient panel).
Dragging the Gradient fill box from the Gradient Panel to the Swatches panel does absolutely nothing.
Furthermore, the instructions 'Click the swatches menu in the Swatches panel and choose New Swatch' fails to explain the fact that you need to have your gradient selected and active in the active Fill or Stroke boxes.
On top of all of this, all…

Illustrator suddenly changed from RGB to CMYK Windows 10, Illustrator 2020
Working on a digital comic and suddenly colour has been changed
from RGB to CMYK, which means I cannot copy and paste the colours
I was repeatedly using anymore.Black colour has been automatically replaced by a dark greenish black;
upon further inspection, it can be seen that it is not completely black. It feels odd at plain sight. I have manually selected each line which has changed colour, but it keeps going back to that dark greenish black.

Excluding fill and stroke settings when applying a graphic style Intention: I want to have a graphic style for applying shadows (using the material ui shadow requirements)
Because it does not seem to be possible to just copy and paste and existing effect of an element (like a drop shadow on a square element) I am using a workaround.
I created a graphic style with my desired shadow. I noticed that when applying the graphic style to element, it overwrites its color and stroke values.
I thought the setting "override character color" would prevent that from happening, but it doesn't. Everytime I'm applying a graphic style it replaces the stroke…

CMYK Hex Code Color Change Windows 10 Pro 18362.719 / Adobe Illustrator 24.0.1. (64bit)
I downloaded and opened a CMYK/Vector file I received through Google Drive, and a specific color on the file was slightly brighter than the color that is supposed to be.
I tried to replace the specific graphic with the original color by typing the hex code manually, but it also changed to the brighter color.
I heard it has been a common issue that has been around, but is there any way to keep the color?

color My colors in Illustrator are still displaying wrong.
There is a discussion about it here, that claims the bug has been fixed, but it has not.
I am up-to-date in my version 24.1. I changed my Thunderbolt display colors back to factory settings in hopes of that being the issue, but it did nothing.
Please fix this bug. I am in the middle of making a postcard and it looks awful. Thank you.

Align Stroke on live text not working I have written out some text and trying to align the stroke to the outside or inside and this isn't working, I have tried this on two different Windows computers.
Both computers are using Windows 10 Pro and Illustrator 24.0.1
I have attached a video so you can see the bug, I also show it on two fonts and a shape which works but the alignment of a stroke and stroke profile don't work on live text.

Color Picker Selects White Instead of Black Very bizarre problem:
- I will create a new object using the pen tool.
- I select the Stroke Color icon and choose black for a border color.
- Illustrator will invariably select white instead of black. I will have to go back to the color picker and select black again for it to stick. Really irritating.

Recolor artwork doesn't work To recolour an image from 16 to 5 colors (or other amount) doesn't work. It only makes the image appear lighter but it is still 16 colours.

Spot color names are incorrect in other applications I'm using Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) on macOS Mojave (10.14.6) in Japanese.
Opened an Illustrator 2020 file containing spot colors with Japanese names in Acrobat or place it to InDesign, the names are not as expected.
I can use English names for the new ones, but changing InDesign ink settings in all existing files can be difficult.

Recolor Artwork stops working if more than one document is open If I have two documents open, I am unable to use Recolor Artwork under Color Guide. It just stops working. Nothing happens when I pull the sliders, click to randomly change the color order or click on color groups. It's broken.
Everything turns back to normal when I close the other document.

Pasting a hexadecimal color code into the Fill or Stroke under properties > appearance occasionally causes Illustrator to freeze up - MacOS 10.14.5 (18F132)
- Select an object (for example, a rectangle), in the properties panel, under the appearance heading, select either fill or stroke, and paste a hex code into the textbox at the bottom of the popup panel. Occasionally, this results in Illustrator freezing, and can only be fixed by force-quitting.
- It not to freeze
- It freezes
- Video attached showing the behaviour once it is frozen

Stroke/Fill Selection From Library - Windows 10 Pro 10.0.17763 Build 17763
- I change the stroke color in appearance menu from library (created in Adobe Colours), which at first works, if I the for the same element or a different element in my graphic try to change the fill from the library, it will still change the stroke. Happens vise versa as well with fill first. Sometimes it resets if I do some other operation in between and I can suddenly change the other colour fill/stroke, but its irratic. But always depends on first action.

Eye dropper not applying proper color/hex from Adobe Color Themes panel I'm using the latest Illustrator v23.03. When selecting colors from the Adobe Color Themes panel, it does not copy the correct color hex to the selected item in my document. In the attached file, which I've scaled up for easier viewing, the square tiles represent the proper color within the Adobe Color Themes panel, with each overlaying the incorrect color Illustrator is copying over when selected. As you can see, there is a major discrepancy. This does not happen with all themes...some copy over perfectly, but many (in my case) do not. I've tried adjusting color profiles to see if…
