Undo in illustrator behaving funny. Please address it.
Undo function in Illustrator 23.0.2 (64-bit) is behaving funny. It is doing one simple undo of a transformation after 2-3 steps. Sometimes the undo totally gets disabled resulting frustration! Please address. This message is sent from the corporate license of Abobe CC of Danfoss (drives section) Global Team.

Horizontal Lines
I always get these horizontal lines that show up when I'm scrolling down an illustrator file. They completely cover the screen and then go away if I zoom even a little bit. Figured this was a bug that would get fixed with an update but it has continued ever since I first downloaded the app. It only happens when I click tab to hide the menus and toolbars. Tab will also make them disappear. Assuming this is not normal, anyone else getting this??

app lock up
23.0.2 updated automaticly. No problem. I run on a Win10 HP Spectre laptop with a USB dock to a second screen. When connected to the dock, all is well. However as soon as I undoc to go to a client, the app locks EVERYTHING. Even CRTL-ATL-DEL won't reboot it. Must hard shutdown to get any other programs back up but again as soon as I open Ill... LOCKUP! Embarassing and frustrating. As soon as I dock again... smooth as glass. Thoughts?

Pathfinder > Crop Crashes
I'm trying to create a pattern that contains a pattern. Each time I try to crop the pattern using Pathfinder > Crop, Illustrator freezes. If I try to "stop" the process, Illustrator crashes and I have to restart. I saw that someone had reported a similar issue late 2018 and the bug status shows as "completed" with the issue being fixed in 23.0.2. However, I'm running 23.0.2 and I'm experiencing what appears to be the same problem.
I'm running Mac OSx Mojave 10.14. I've experienced this issue on both an iMac and a Macbook Pro. Each has 16GB of RAM.…

Frezzing issue
Since the 23.0 version Illustrator keeps freezing regularly, up to 3 times in a day's usage. There is no actual pattern that i can point to, just that it keeps doing it at certain time intervals and with certain signs sometimes (like the menus not showing), which are also irregular and i have to use Task Manager to close it and open it again.

Illustrator Lag
Illustrator super slow and laggy even in outline view on Mac. Started after last two updates. Have restarted both Illustrator and mac. Takes forever to save and move objects, have to click multiple times for it to actually select the object.

Crash while setting up Action
Illustrator crashes every-time I try to set up a new action. I am trying to create a shade effect of a "sticker" but doing the following:
- Take outline vector (which is white path)
- Duplicate
- Switch to fill
- Change color to black
- Apply Shear at 20 degrees
- Edit opacity to 20%
- CrashJust curious as to why this happening. Possibly due to my file size? 162.5 MB
1 voteHi,
Can you please verify if this issue has been resolved with the latest AI version or not? (AI 23.0.2).

Generating pixels loop
Back installed to 22.1 because 23 sucks so much and I now run into this endless cycling of generating pixels.

Overall dissatisfaction with Illustrator
The frequency of issues is just staggering. Files freeze on open, freeze on save, struggle with server connections, never seem to remember any recent files, or you just seem to get a beach ball for minutes on end with no clue if you need to restart or if you should just wait it out. I use illustrator more than any program and it sometimes ends up being my biggest hindrance.

GPU bug?
Can't select and release objects in illustrator, seems like the mouse button is pressed throughout. issue ends once clicked on Finder and out of illustrator. Issue started a few weeks after upgrading to Mojave and the CUDA NVIDIA driver couldn't be updated anymore.
Using Illustrator 2015.3 (as this used to support my GPU animated preview)
Tried reinstalling a few times and problems still persist.
Working on XD now, can't use most older vector files made in illustrator, a simple act like copying a vector out to XD is IMPOSSIBLE.

Select Tool does NOT select! Color swatches don't change item colors!!
There's no idea. You guys are making every day more difficult every time you ***** up a new version. Us poor idiots that work every day with your programs are going crazy keeping up with the changes that don't work, the ideas that benefit some but not all and all the malfunctioning things you've managed to do with the old tools that worked just fine. You're making me hate this profession of graphic designer and you're making me loose money and time every day. Why don't you just fire your engineers and leave us alone?

Bounding Box, Resizing typography, moving typography all defective
Here are a list of current issues I'm experiencing in Illustrator:
– Bounding box keeps disappearing and reappearing. I'm aware of the different methods of getting it back, they don't
– Moved elements disappear from view, with a bounding box appearing in the area you moved it from but with nothing in it
– Editing typography doesn't always work, I.E. I resize one block of typography, but for some reason, it adjusts a previously selected block; this is happening when adjusting tracking or size
– Editing typography also sometimes has no effect on the typography. Changing the size or tracking…1 vote -

2018 Illustrator CC is crazy slow / extreme lag on fast touchbar mac
AI is extraordinarily slow to do anytlhing, even select tools, or draw or duplicate objects. I have a very fast computer:
2016 MBP 2.9ghz intel core i7
16gb ram
radeon pro 460
running OS 10.13.6
I have 60gbb free of space on my SSD.I haven't worked in AI for several years, but I'm deeply familiar with PS, and I'm following a tutorial on how to draw a geometric shape. So thats what I'm doing in the project. Very simple stuff.

Illustrator doesn't open
I simply can't open Illustrator anymore. The screenshot below shows how Illustrator appears when it's open. I can only see the top bar, none of the actual interface. I'm working on MacOS Mojave Version 10c.14.1 Illustrator version 23.01
I even tried uninstalling and installing it again but nothing changed.
Thank you

Tool useage goes away after a period of time.
I am currently trying to use Illustrator 23.0.1 on a windows 10 machine. After loading a drawing that I am working on, everything is ok at the beginning, but after a short amount of time, I start losing function of the tools that I use. For example, when I type, the text change does not appear until I click off of the text and click the curser on the drawing board. Too many other things quit working and I have to shut down the application, and reopen. I am lucky if I get 10 minutes of work done before bad…

Error When Selecting Graphic Styles Palette
Recently updated to Illustrator CC19 (version 23.0.1) Was altering the workspace and when I selected the Graphic Styles palette I get the error message "There is not enough memory available to process the appearance of an object error" Didn't even have an object selected or anything, after the error message all options are greyed out and I can't select anything on the artboard. Tried restarting, saving a new file, deleting all the graphic styles I had installed but the error still persists. This is happening for both old and brand new files.
I uninstalled Illustrator and reinstalled and it seemed…
