paths missing in export
When exporting a vector image, some of the paths in my pattern fill are disappearing. It's weird because on the export panel it shows up fine, but when actually exported the paths are missing.

long file names
If the file name is too long for Windows 10, no error message is generated but the file is not saved.
Interestingly, the thumbnail on the Home page for AI shows the final version of the artwork, but clicking on it opens the last one actually saved instead. I didn't know what had happened and closed/reopened AI to get AI to open the correct file, then saw the file did not actually exist.
I was able to recover my work because the last 3 tmp files were not removed, so I renamed the extensions to "ai" and got my work…

Illustrator 25.1 (64 bits) doesn't open some files on previous versions
When I try to open some files created a year ago, Illustrator show me an error window which explains that the program have tried to recover the file but partially. When I click open, only an artboard appears and nothing else.
After that, I close the project and a pop up window ask to rate the recovery functionality. For now it is dreadful. Hope You can fix it soon
Thank you very much

Opening a v25 .ai file with illustrator v25.1 causing text issues
I received an illustrator file from a client that was v25. I already had all the necessary fonts used in the project. I opened it with the latest version (25.1) and the text on almost every artboard was altered in some way. Often all the text in a text box was gone except for a few characters. After downloading AI 2020 I was able to open the project file with the text in tact.

When exporting as PDF with password (to edit/copy), insertion point doesn't move to password entry field
[macOS Big Sur 11.1, Illustrator 25.1]
When saving as a protected PDF (require a password to edit/copy), as soon as you click the checkbox to enable that, the text insertion point always used to jump immediately to the field to enter the password. Now, nothing happens. You have to click the box. There are no other options in that area of the Save as window; you click the box to enable a password, and the only other option is to then enter that password. Always before, text insertion in that field activated immediately upon clicking the checkbox. Now, no. That's…

Asset export scale not working correctly (1x, 2x, 3x etc.... no longer keep files at 72 ppi)
There is an issue with the asset export options in Adobe illustrator. When exporting with the png scale options .5x, .75x, 1x ,2x, 3x, etc... the file's ppi is also changing rather than staying at 72ppi. For Example when exporting a 100x100 square @1x, 2x, & 3x the expected behavior would be to get 3 pngs (@1x - 100x100px @72ppi), (@2x - 200x200px @72ppi), and (@3x - 300x300px @72ppi) (I'm pretty sure the asset export used to work this way); However what is happening now is you get 3 pngs (@1x - 100x100px @72ppi), (@2x - 200x200px @144ppi), and (@3x…

iCloud drive
Illustrator thinks links are gone when files are being stored in iCloud Drive (even though the cloud version is still in the same folder on my computer). Please allow Illustrator to download linked files in iCloud Drive automatically so I don't have to download and relink manually.

Save as remove filename text before "/" character
If the filename contains "/", the illustrator will save the file with "save as" command removing all the characters before "/", including it.
Example:
Saving with "save as" the file "My first project/version 1.ai" will end in "version 1.ai" on harddisk.Also, the name of the file in document's title bar is replacing the "/" with ":"
"My first project:version 1.ai"And, again, on Save as dialog box, the "Save as:" textbox where the filename is already entered, it shows up like this
"My first project-version 1.ai"macOS Big Sur, Illustrator 25.0.1

ACTION FAILURE!!
modify the action:
If you create an action to save for web with PNG file, Illustrator don't override the save command and nche the action take the same name of the file in the action.try to open 5 or 6 files and create the action:
New action > save for web > save (and stop action)
Now use it on the other opened files...If you have more and more files like me and your client ask you to export the file only in png it's impossible to use this action!
The only way is to save files one…
