Possible Bug - Crop Image Auto Resizing Crop Box in New CC Illustrator 2019
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just a poorly executed new feature, but in the new Illustrator CC 2019 when you have a raster image in the file and you go to "Crop Image" the crop marquee automatically changes to a random size and shape instead of remaining at the edges of the image. I'm not sure if there is some hidden feature where it is trying to automatically detect where you might crop the image to by detecting the image edges, but this is super annoying when you are trying to do something like just adjusting…
2 votesYou are referring to the content aware crop feature: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html#ContentAwareCrop
To turn this feature off please visit the Preference dialog (CMD+K) and turn off “Enable Content Aware defaults”
If I may suggest a workflow for you.
1. Use linked images, they not only are fast but also save disk space.
2. If you already have embedded images in your file, please use the unembed feature of Illustrator to export and link files automatically for you.
3. All linked images have this feature of Edit Original where you can edit images in a software of your choice like Photoshop.
4. If you have to share files to other users please make use of File menu>Package feature to collect everything including linked images and fonts in one directory. -

Uniting shapes has unexpected result
Came across a weird file/result that co-workers were able to replicate.
1) Mojave 10.14.1 and Illustrator 23.0.1
2) Selecting two shapes/pathfinder window/unite
3) Letter p remaining knocked out
4) Letter p featuring a slash across the top
5) I've attached the file before uniting with pathfinderI was able to workaround by simply not uniting but thought ya'll might be interested. Thanks!

Crash Reporter has UX issues
Crash Repoert text field does not allow cursor movement by arrow keys or pos1, end,...
Email format validation is wrong, as it does not allow hyphens.
Check email format on exiting the field, not on submit.Just build a good way to report bugs with a good UX.

AIGUSSNIFFER

When I try to update Illustrator, I get a message that there is a conflict. It tells me to close Illustrator and press the "Continue" button. However, when I close Illustrator, the update dialog box closes too. Confused!

FIX ILLUSTRATOR 2019
Mac ios High Sierra on iMac 21.5, AI 2019, working on simple packaging mechanical files, sometimes when saving I get a message that it cannot process. I either lose all my work, or several files have been translated into black and white and look like architectural drawings. I have trouble creating new swatches. When I duplicated a swatch, when I changed color of copy, color of original changed. Why is there no step and repeat? Please stop releasing versions of this software before it is bug-free. Most versions don't even have noticeable upgrades, others have annoying upgrades. After using software…

2019 update. Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
1 voteIllustrator provides two tool panels now: Basic (chosen by default) and Advanced (with all the tools, including plugin ones). This change was made to make Illustrator less clumped form the beginning and ease the learning process. You can read more about this here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html
You can also access all the tools from the 'drawer' menu, by clicking the button with three dots at the bottom of any toolbar.
As always, Ai doesn’t care much about our settings, and this time they forced this changes for everyone, not explaining the change directly in-app. Hope this gets improved.

CC2019 Offset Path stuck in Inches
Offset Path seems to be stuck in Inches in 23.0. I have the preferences all set to "points", yet when I try to use Offset Path, it's still displaying the offset amount in inches. This didn't happen until the upgrade to 23.0.

resolution - since 2019 update illustrator's menus, tools and swatches are too big?
It seems like it can't tell its on a 5k monitor?
See comparison below.
Illustrator 2019 compared to indesign 2019
1 voteStarting CC 2019 we are scaling the user interface a little on high resolution devices. To turn that off please use the small value as described on this page to get back the behaviour of previous release.

Panels load on different screens
Hello!
My operating System is 64 bit Windows 10 and I have the latest 2018 CC version of Illustrator.
The setup: I am working on 2 4K Monitors. 1 is a 32" LG and the other is the 24" Wacom Cintiq Pro. (However, this happens regardless of what type of monitor you have). I don't spread my workflow between monitors like some people do,. I prefer to have browsing on one and my Illustrator workspace on the other. However, since I do work with a Ciintiq I very often swap my workspace from my Cintiq back to my monitor. Here…

Custom scripts from CC2108 not working in CC2019
The big power of Illustrator is its ability to run scripts. I built my workflow around some important scripts. Upgrading to 2019 made them non-functional.
It would be great, if there was a way to update scripts as well.

Selector tool glitch — element selected and deselected at once
Sometimes, elements will incorrectly be deselected, getting them into a strange state where they are seen as unselected in the layers panel, but being displayed as selected on the canevas. Most operations will not affect it (move and scale), but some, including align, will produce strange, incoherent results. It either stops at random or does not, needing a restart of Illustrator to be able to resume editing.
It has happened multiple times already over the last weeks, and I cannot see a pattern to it's occurence. Just now it happened while navigating the history where elements were being grouped/ungrouped and…
