SVG Imports with missing/changing colors
This svg file opens correctly in browsers and even converts correctly in Inkscape, but in Illustrator all the colors change.
I'm using the latest illustrator as of May 2024 on Windows 11.
I tried attaching the SVG file but it gets removed for not being supported, nice...

Artwork moves separately from its artboard when Undo is called
when you move an artboard and have 'move artwork with artboard' checked in the properties panel (and in preferences) everything works going from point A to B. Unfortunately when you want to undo your work and use the key command 'command z' the artboard moves back to its' original location but the artwork does NOT. you have to use 'command z' several more times for the artwork to reposition itself to its original position. This makes no sense. why are 2 items that were moved at the same time in one pass not reposition themselves (back to pt. A) in…

Crash after moving complex artwork outside the artboard
I'm testing the new release (27.2 on MacOS) before the whole company can safely move to the new environment. I basically can crash the whole software in a few seconds. What I need to do is:
1) I need to open a big file - I've used files 23.5 MB, 43MB, 64.7 MB, 15.1MB (the files have been created in previous versions of Illustrator ).
2) Turn on wire view in Illustrator (command + Y)
3) select with lasso all points that are on the artboard
4) switch to select tool (V)
5) Start to move objects outside of the…

Reordering artboards / double clicking an artboard zooms me into that artboard
I experience the following disorienting app behaviour.
How to reproduce:
1. Zoom out with all the artboards in view.
2. In the artboard list, find which artboard is highlighted.
3. Click-and-drag that artboard. (Don't even really need to reorder it)Expected behavior:
Nothing asides from reordering the artboards.Actual behavior:
I am now zoomed into that artboard. I then have to zoom back out and continue reordering artboards at my desired birds-eye-view distance.
12 votesThis is expected to be fixed in the latest Beta Build 29.5.0.15 — the double-click on the item in the Artboards panel now should not zoom to the artboard on canvas, hooray! Please check if this now behaves as expected and comment back

Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

Keyboard shortcut for "Navigate to Next Document" stopped working on MacOS
With the latest update to Illustrator 27.2, I've found the "Navigate to Next Document" keyboard shortcut to have stopped working. I have checked the Keyboard Shortcuts tool and verified that it remains as "Illustrator Defaults" and it is set to ⌘`. In fact none of the related shortcuts work.
To be sure, I've tried a different keyboard with the same result and the shortcut does continue to work in other applications (as it is the default shortcut on macOS to cycle around documents.)

Multiple Artboards X and Y axis not resetting
This is a new issue: normally the X and Y axis reset when you click on an alternate artboard but recently, it's maintain the X and Y of the first artboard. My sample is a 4"x4", 4-artboard layout, and the shape is on artboard 2, horizontal to artboard 1.
1 voteThe problem got solved by enabling artboard rulers instead of global ones via View > Rulers menu.

Illustrator keeps stealing focus when opening documents in background...
When selecting a lot of files in windows and then opening them in AI, for every document that opens, AI takes the focus away from whatever I am doing in the background. This is very annoying. Please fix.

Rearrange artboard does not work with large artboards...
Having an issue with the Rearrange All Artboards feature when using very large art boards. See attached screenshot. Two artboards, one 6x16ft and one 3x9ft. Rearrange All Artboards using columns only seem to give an error of: "Rearrangement would take some artboards out of canvas bounds." even though the artboard could be arranged manually with the same settings.
Unrelated: Can you PLEASE allow uploading of videos again (specifically webm). It really helps when trying to communicate bugs and feature requests).
