2. Dialog Box Behind App - Force Quit

   1. 21.1.0 (macOS sierra v10.12.6 (16G29))

   2. This is happening more and more, and usually when first opening the application. If some dialog box, typically a warning or something, pops up but for some reason then gets pushed behind or hidden by the main app window, there is no way to get back to it and no way for the app to function. Trying to click on ANY part of the app just gets the "no - beep", the sound that plays when you are trying to do something but something else has to happen first... like if a warning box pops up and you try to click ANYWHERE on the app, it will beep at you until you accept/cancel the warning, THEN you can operate the app as normal.

   BUT, when this box becomes hidden or is just behind the app, nothing can get you back to it. You can't minimize the app because it just beeps at you, waiting for you to respond to the warning. You can CMD+Tab to other apps, but when you get back to Illustrator, it doesn't refresh of bring the warning box back.

   On the dock icon, there is a "Show all windows" option, but that doesn't fix the problem either.

   On the Menu Bar > Illustrator > Quit is grey-ed out, the Dock Icon "Quit" doesn't work, so all you can do is open the Activity Monitor and FORCE QUIT Illustrator. Then, reopen and hope it doesn't happen again.

   PLEASE fix this

3. Error 16 Reinstall Software? (AI 2017.1.0 - 21.1.0 - MacOS 10.12.6)

   On a MacBook Pro (Retina 15in Mid 2014) if I open up and use Mail and Safari first then open up Illustrator or Photoshop I often get Error 16 which insists I uninstall and reinstall the Illustrator program. However, if I shut down or restart my computer, the program opens up just fine without reinstalling it.

   Why do I get this error message?
   Is there anything I can do to stop getting it?
   Perhaps the message should just instruct people to restart their computer instead of doing a lengthy uninstall - reinstall?

4. Illustrator Freezes + This Website Broken

   So I open an .ai in the latest version of Illustrator, everything works. I open another .ai file, everything freezes / stops working. I need to use Task Manager to close Illustrator. I reinstalled it, same issue.

   Regarding the website, when I click in Illustrator to submit a bug, it sends me to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/ where the 'Bug' button does not do anything. Are you for real, Adobe?!?!

   I managed to do a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rTNATEzgjk - but of course, this time the program did not freeze.

   The solution is to actually click the Terms of Use link the dialog offers you ( and at least TRY to read them). When you click the link, the Accept button starts working.
