Slow opening of the first document!!!
I don't know if it happens to others, an Illustrator on a Windows machine "I would say performing, quite a lot" but this problem happens to me I think at least from the CC2018 / 2019/2020 version.
I start the software, open a new empty document, or open an existing document (even of small, insignificant dimensions) the document takes a long time to open (it is not immediate).
If I open a second document it opens in the right time, then it works as it should.
The same thing happens if I close Illustrator and restart it.But before it…

Pathfinder imprecise results
Pathfinder distorts curves and these distortions create stray points and small vector artifacts when I "slice".
This has been an issue from IL5 (pre-CS and pre-CC), when Pathfinder was first introduced.
Until Adobe increased maximum magnification, it was hard to tell what was happening, but in CC I can clearly see that in Pathfinder, smooth curves distort. My guess is something analogous to mathematical rounding errors in defining the berzier curve.
Sometimes, the distortion is very "squiggly", appears to be introducing the 'QuickDraw error (reported separately), and produces unusable results.
While most of these errors and artifacts are essentially microscopic,…
12 votesIf this does happen for you, please open your Pathfinder panel’s options and change the Precision value it has. Lowering the values improves results, especially on very long curved segments, but also increases the overall time a complex pathfinder operation takes.
Please comment below if this advice helps — the team can use this feedback to reconsider the default value.

CMYK Hex Code Color Change
Windows 10 Pro 18362.719 / Adobe Illustrator 24.0.1. (64bit)
I downloaded and opened a CMYK/Vector file I received through Google Drive, and a specific color on the file was slightly brighter than the color that is supposed to be.
I tried to replace the specific graphic with the original color by typing the hex code manually, but it also changed to the brighter color.
I heard it has been a common issue that has been around, but is there any way to keep the color?

Metadata title isn't saving (24.0)
When I save an illustrator file, it's stripping out the specified metadata title and replacing it with the filename upon re-opening the file. Even if I re-enter the info in Bridge, when I modify & save the file in Illustrator, it reverts to the file name.
When I export the image though, it attaches whatever title is showing in the file info panel in Illustrator, regardless of whether it will "stick" after closing or not.Also to note, if I enter info into other fields it seems to work fine. It's only the Title that is being overridden.

CC Library Legacy Warning
Operating System: Windows 10
Illustrator Version: 24.1.1I am trying to add a CMYK graphic to CC Library. When I do, I receive the warning:
"Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in."
Resetting my preferences did not help. I checked for Adobe updates, but Creative Cloud doesn't indicate there are any available. If I add it as an RGB graphic, I do not get the error. But I need the CMYK version.

Illustrator 24.2 EPS title information changed to "Adobe Illustrator Artwork"
Previously when saving eps files, the "Title" information embedded within the file would be the filename. It appears that with version 24.2 the eps title information defaults to "Adobe Illustrator Artwork". Can this be corrected back to the filename? Our RIP uses this title information and now all our files are being processed with the same name.

Document Setup - Artboard size not showing cursor
Pre update the artboard size fields (W: and H: fields) after clicking Document Setup button in top toolbar would show cursor position. After updating to 24.2 the cursor is no longer visible. The field will highlight but we are not able to see the cursor position.
Please allow for cursor to be visible inside these fields.

Reveal in Bridge not working
At first, I was trying to 'Reveal in Bridge'. Bridge would open but wouldn't navigate to my link.
So I updated to the latest version of Illustrator CC (I was one version behind) and now the 'Reveal in Bridge' option is greyed out.
How about a nice 'Reveal in Finder/Explorer' option that we'd all prefer?

Illustrator (version 24.1.2) crashes every time I use the crop tool.
I have been using the crop tool without an issue over the last year and a half, right up until yesterday. Today my illustrator refuses to work the second i click on the crop tool, and instantly crashes. I tried reinstalling it, but it hasn't improved.

Panels are mixed up and showing wrong content when docked
All panels and document windows show some frozen content. This happens daily until I restart. If panels are dragged to be floating they refresh correct until they are docked together again.

SVG arc path without whitespace standard syntax broken
When an arc is described using a missing whitespace, which is perfectly valid SVG syntax, it will not be rendered correctly in Illustrator. This was discovered with SVG files compressed by SVGO 1.3+ and later which has the arc path optimisation by default.
This syntax should work as it is a standard part of the SVG specification and is rendered correctly by all major web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
In the attached example an arc is written as:
a.65.65 0 011.109-.459
The string 011.109 contains 3 values:
0
1 (a boolean is required here, it cannot be 11.109)…3 votes -
Tiny UI
UI is super tiny and remains that way even if I choose "large scaling" in the UI preferences. I even updated the program and it's still an issue. operating on windows 10 and Adobe 2020.
