Toggling tabs does not refresh/display correct file.
When multiple files are open, toggling from one file to another (via tabs) does not always display the correct file.
I've only encountered this bug with CC 2019.

Graphic Styles Panel Crashes Illustrator (macOS Movaje)
Illustrator CC 2019 on macOS Mojave becomes unusable after loading the "Graphic Styles" panel. After the panel loads, there's a brief beach ball followed by the "Not enough memory to process the appearance" error message. The menus then become "greyed out" and the only way to proceed is to force quit illustrator and restart.
On the surface I can avoid loading the "Graphic Styles" panel, but there are other panels that I need to load that only load with the "Graphic Styles" panel attached to them.
I've deleted the AI preferences and uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator and the result is the same.

Workspace panels move on their own
While using the new Illustrator CC v.23, the workspace will randomly move around and cover up the artboard that I am working on. I can simply click "reset workspace" and it's back to normal it is very frequently that the workspaces move around randomly. Please fix, Thanks.

Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here. -
Hitting Escape while editing a field does not cancel the value but applies it
I don’t know why nobody reports this...
If I input something in a field and I want to abort and return to the previous value, I hit Escape.Sometimes the first Escape closes the suggestions dropdown (like in browsers), and only the second one restores the previous value.
A LOT of apps follow this rule except browsers:
Affinity Designer, Inkscape, CorelDRAW, Blender...
Non-design ones too: MS Office, Google Docs, various text editors... A LOT.Some apps keep the value entered, but don’t apply it, and put the old one back when an object get reselected — Xara does it.

レイヤー名に改行コードが入っている場合、MacとWindowsでレイヤーパネルの表記が異なる。
macOS Ventura 13.6.3、Windows10／11
Illustrator ver.28.2（以前のバージョンも同様の挙動）1.テキストエディタ等から改行を含むテキストをコピーする。
2.Illustratorに移り、新規ドキュメントを開きレイヤーパネルを選択する。
3.レイヤー 1を選択しレイヤー名をダブルクリックするかダイアログを表示してレイヤー名にテキストエディター等でコピーした改行を含むテキストをペーストする。
4.Macでは改行がZWNBSのように扱われ表示されます。Windowsでは改行として扱われ改行以後が折り返され上部だけがかすかに見えます。期待する結果
プラットフォームが違ってもレイヤー名の表示がおなじになる。実際の結果
MacとWindowsでレイヤー名の表示が異なる。これはレイヤー名に改行コードが入ってしまうという特殊なケースでの挙動の違いです。しかし、レイヤー名をテキストエディタ等からコピーしてきてペーストするというシナリオは考えられることです。プラットフォームの違いで表示が異なるのは問題です。
理想を言えば、レイヤー名に改行が混ざっていた場合は改行コード自体をドロップしてしまうのが良いように思います。Windowsの折り返して読めない部分が生じるのはダメです。8 votes -
Recent file history missing on app launch
Since updating to the latest version, on starting Illustrator I just get the "start a new file fast" section but no recent file history icons.
Once I've opened and then closed a file the app returns to the home screen and then my recent history is showing but the Start A New File Fast bit has gone.
Once I close illustrator down and re-open it the history disappears again :(
Using Illustrator v24 via a Creative Cloud Suite account on Windows 10. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and re-installing. No change.

Workspaces can’t be switched, managed, or saved
NONE of my pallets/Windows opened into the application. When I try to switch to built-in or custom Workspaces, nothing changes. The Workspace STAYS selected as my previously-selected Workspace and none show up. If I manually go look at the Windows in the menu, none are open and I can MANUALLY open them and move them around... "Manage Workspaces" and "New Workspace" are disabled (Gray) and no matter what I do, I cannot change or override. I have quit/relaunched numerous times - same results.

The menu does not respond well right after Illustrator launches
en_US
Immediately after starting Illustrator, the menu does not respond to clicks and only works once every two times. Also, the phenomenon occurs that opening a new document does not show up the first time. Focusing on another application and refocusing on Illustrator fixes the problem.
While investigating the cause, it seems to be triggered by the presence of an invalid plugin or its warning screen. Without it, it worked fine.
Steps to reproduce
- Put the invalid plugin into Illustrator's plugin folder
- Start Illustrator
- Click the File menu
Expected result
The File menu will open.
Actual result
Nothing happens. A…

Swatches panel does not remember the size of chips when toggling List / Thumbnails view
When I choose to display Large Thumbnail View in Swatches panel’s flyout menu, I expect Ai to respect my size choice and remember it, when I use the two buttons in the panel itself to switch List / Thumbnails modes.
Instead, Illustrator forces it to Small (which can be OK, since I never chose the List to be large) and does not even remember my previous choice when I switch back (which is totally not OK).
See the GIF, please.

[M1 Mac Mini] Area outside artboard flickers when mouse is moving
This is a weird one, because everything works just fine when you first launch the software. However once your computer goes to sleep and log back in, the area outside the outboard within your file window flickers as you move your mouse around.
A workaround is to quit Illustrator and start it back up.
I'm running Adobe Illustrator 25.2 on my Mac Mini M1 with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD.

After latest update, workspaces no longer work
Any time I launch Illustrator now, it completely clears the interface (no tools, control bar, nothing). Additionally, if I try to select a workspace, it does nothing.
I can bring the elements back in one-by-one, just like normal, but the Save Workspace is completely grayed out (I did have previously save workspaces).
Needless to say, this is extremely frustrating to have to spend minutes re-setting up the interface each time I want to use it.
