can't open file properly
v23.03
I can't open some file It hangs on interface background, it shows all layer of my file on my layer tab but I can't see any of my illus, I try to switch on-off the eye in front of the layer and it can't help.
So, I downgrade to v23.02 and all the problem are gone and I think you should fix it before this bug goes with the future version.1 vote -
File open error message
This bug recently started happening when I first open Illustrator, then open first file. This message pops up twice. After that, the file will open without a problem, and Illustrator will work without a problem. Subsequent files will open without a problem. If I close and restart Illustrator, the bug happens again in the same way.

Illustrator crashes (hangs) when creating a new file on second monitor
When creating a new file in Illustrator on my second monitor, the program hangs, and I have to force quit it.
If I try to do the exact same operation on my main monitor, it works as expected.
Pretty straight-forward operation to get to the problem, but if you need any further info, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

When in Windows Explorer I double-click to open the ai file but results in error: "Illustrator can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window..."
However when I drag and drop the file into Illustrator it opens no problem.
This error started happening in the last few days.
Please advise.

.ai Files Auto-opening in After Effects
Ran an update yesterday and, since then, all native < .ai > files are auto-opening in After Effects. This occurs whether I launch from Bridge or Finder; double-clicking to open a native Illustrator file is now launching directly in to AE. I have checked each file to make sure that Illustrator is the default --- it is.

Illustrator won't open and I have to force quit every day 8 t0 10 times
Illustrator won't open- I have to force quit 7 - 10 times before it works. Then when it does , it stops working randomly . I waste hours every day fighting it. Wish I had never upgraded. Seriously looking for another program. I expect more than this from Adobe.

Can't open any files.
Illustrator won't open any files at all. Every time I try to open one (doesn't matter what file type) it causes the program to turn unresponsive.

Recent Files Browser Window: Selection state highlights and selects item in row below
(Same issue as another bug, but adding additional and differing details here:)
This has happened multiple times, consistently. It isn't a one-off incident.
Adobe Illustrator CC 23.0.1 / macOS Mojave 10.14.2
Step 1: Open Illustrator from desktop icon.
Step 2: Click on a recent file from displayed recent file option thumbnails.Expected result: Selected file opens.
Actual result: The file directly below the one clicked opens (one row down) i.e. selection offset.
On launch from closed, the cursor selects the file one row below the thumbnail of intended file within the grid, with the hover-highlight activated on this incorrect file.…

Opening file with multiple envelopes crashes Illustrator CC2019 23.0.1
Opening the file I included will crash CC2019 every time.
Illustrator CC2018 opens the file without a problem.
Expanding the envelopes will stop the crashing in CC2019.
If you delete one of the two layers in the included file, there's only one envelope left and CC2019 opens it without a problem.
Operating System macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Can't open files from Microsoft Outlook or any other outside source!
Can't open a file by double clicking on it from an attachment in an email or from explorer or from my desktop etc! Only way round it is to do File > Open when Illustrator which is a reeeeeally slow way of working when you're dealing with multiple files! Pleeeeeeeeeeease fix this :)

Illustrator v23.01 will not open subsequent vector files via Indesign, Bridge or directly from a folder.
When I try to "Edit with" in InDesign or open a vector file via Bridge or directly from the folder, it opens the file for the first time on launching the software, however if I try to open files again while Illustrator is up and running, it will not open. I then have to quit Illustrator to open the file. This is counter productive as I have to do this even when i have to make a small edit or move/delete an object. Especially when I'm working on multiple graphs, etc.
My fix for now is to revert back to…

Illustrator crashes as one file opens.
Opening a file I have been working on, Illustrator crashes just when the window appears after the loading bar disappears. As far as I know, this only happens with this particular file. I can open another file which is much larger.
This is pretty much a disaster for me.
I've tried restarting, and closing all other programs. AI still crashes in the same way.

Illustrator keeps crashing when opening files or when creating a new file.
Like the title says, Illustrator crashes no matter what I do when opening files or when creating a new file. Nothing seems to fix it, a fresh install did nothing as well. Any ideas? got important projects I need to work on =_=.
