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.

Last version super slow and partly broken
First of all, Illustrator needs almost 1-2 to start since the latest update. Before it was, like Photoshop, just a matter of some seconds.
When started, everything feels sluggish, changing the font for a text field is not possible anymore and I don't know how many more problems. The whole UI makes a somewhat broken impression, the cursor in textfields doesn't show and a whole lot more and is very unresponsive, takes seconds to react.This is with a high-end setup with 64GB of RAM (of which 32GB are free when showing this behaviour, so it's not RAM shortage causing…

Inaccuracies with Pathfinder and Shape Builder tools
I'm using v24.3, the most recent Illustrator version. When zooming in on a shape, the selection outline does not appear to correspond to the actual fill area of the shape. When doing any cutting or merging with the pathfinder or shape builder tool, this discrepancy starts to create inaccurate results, as the tools seem to favor the selection outline as a guide when cutting.
As an example, I have a circular background. I want to "mask" a square onto it, so one of the corners of the square is outside of the circle. This corner I intend to cut off…6 votes -

Illustrator 2021 breaks Export command with AppleScript
Export command for AppleScript has suddenly stopped working as of Illustrator 2021. This error breaks almost all my professional workflows.
macOS 11.1, Illustrator 25.1
When I run AppleScript workflows that worked fine in Illustrator 2020, 2019, 2018, etc. they now fail at the 'export' command with 'Adobe Illustrator got an error: document doesn't understand the "export" message.'
Screenshot of simplest possible script failing attached.

Text edits dont show in GPU mode
Windows 10 20H2
Omen 15 Ryzen 7 4800, GTX 1660Ti , 16Ram
Illustrator 2021On going issues since if i remember 2016 or so.
When GPU is enabled, lots of time when i edit a textframe it wont show the updates. The textframe keeps showing old text, zooming doesnt fix it. Only thing which fixes this is either move the textframe or deactive GPU and restart illustrustrator.
I first noticed this issue on my old Mac at the office, this cant be updated due to old OS its running. Now i still noticed it on my Windows system running 2021

GPU Problem after upgrade to 25.1
After upgrading to 25.1 GPU previewing is erratic. After a while working on a document GPU previewing is not available (after restart Illustrator it is). Then also problems with text selection occur, text is not marked as selected and text cursor is not visible. Seems like a problem with out of video memory? Using a maxed out MacMini with 64GB RAM and a Blackmagic eGPU. MacOS is 11.1
For now reverting Illustrator 25.0 removes all problems.3 votes -
Recolor artwork modal panel stays in place
The new recolor art modal panel doesn’t remember it’s previous position and always appears in the center of my window. Is this expected ?
If it could be non modal and docked in my custom
UI I would appreciate too.3 votes -
The file keeps crashing whenever I zoom in or out
Usually, everything functions perfectly; it is just I started to have a problem whenever I zoom in or out. The whole file crashes sometimes, then it turns back to normal, or it might keep freezing until I close the Illustrator.
This is a weird issue because it only happens with zooming in or out, and it happened with Illustrator 2021 and 2020. I think it is from my computer, but everything is updated; I updated my drivers recently, and I still have the same issue.1 vote -
cmd+shift+n doesn't create new folder in Finder-Save-Dialouge anymore after last update
When you save a file (save as, save, save copy, ...) you can not create a new folder via cmd+shift+n anymore after the latest 24.0.1 "bug fix update" which I received today.
Please fix this again!

Illustrator won't replace existing PNG file; creates copy and adds "-01" to filename
When I update an Illustrator file and wish to export/replace the previous PNG file, Illustrator asks me if I would like to replace the existing file. I click "Replace". However, the result is a new file with "-01" added to the end of the file name. The old version still exists. Why bother asking me if I want to replace it if it insists on creating a copy?

Library Panel Thumbnails Too Dark
I have always used the darkest setting of the Brightness UI preference. All the items in my library were easily viewable and readable as each thumbnail had a white background. Now they are all dark and the text is unreadable and my logos are harder to tell apart. The panel can be dark but I need the background of the library asset itself to be white.

Problem with Large Illustrator files when copying files to a new document
Hi,
We work with physically large files like 200+ inches wide for vehicle wraps, full wall wraps etc. When I break them down with a mask to the size out printer uses. For taking a graphic from 200" file making the mask at 26" and wanting to place it in a new 52" document so I can blow it up to 200% of it's original size. I get the following message and then it changes the size from 26" to 25.1006" which isn't the size I originally started with then I get a message "Artwork exceeds the canvas bounds and…1 vote -
Scale, move and rotate dialog boxes don't hold most recent values when you press return to open dialog box
MACOS MOJAVE 10.14.6
ILLUSTRATOR 24.3When i open the scale dialog box it has always held the most recent scale value, so if i wanted to scale something up 5% i would Press "S" on the keyboard, then type 105, hit return. then if i wanted to go another 5% i would hit return (to open the dialog box) and it would remember 105 in the active field. then i would hit return again to apply.
When I hit return to open the dialog box now (in this example to increase by ANOTHER 105%) some random number comes up. it's…
