Toggling outline view should not modify file
When toggling Preview/Outline mode, the current file behaves as though a modification was made, even though nothing appears in the Undo history.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an existing AI file
2. Go to "View" menu
3. Select "Outline" (or "Preview", if the file was saved whilst in Outline view)
4. Go to "Undo" menu
5. Notice there's nothing to undoThis is only a nitpick, but it's been gnawing at me for a while.

aligning rectangle control bar
Bug report_ Illustrator 2020. Only downloaded a few days ago.
If I create a rectangle using the control bar it won't let me align it using the alignment tools. If I create it by hand and then adjust the measurements to what I wanted then the alignment tools work.

Height and Width indicator at cursor switched when resizing a box.
When I go to resize a box, the height and width indicators at the cursor are switched.
1 voteThe rectangle you are scaling is probably rotated 90 degrees, and how has the width oriented along the Y-axis.
See, rectangles are drawn as live shapes when created in versions after 2014, and they remember their widths and heights independently from the size of their bounding boxes (which can differ a lot if a shape is rotated to an arbitrary angle).
This is somewhat confusing... but your own height does not get smaller if you lay down, isn’t it?
To solve this, you can convert your live rectangle into a path and then immediately convert it back t a rectangle again (Object > Shape > Expand Shape / Convert to Shape) — this will effectively reset the rotation to a 'normal' way.

Paste in Place displays Perspective Grid widget
I have Windows 10, Adobe Illustrator 2019 23.1
Every time I copy something and try to paste in place, I get a long amount of random actions all by itself, and it ends with the perspective thing in the corner.
I've had to do a shortcut key replacement for that function.2 votes -

Overprint is not maintained after making PDF - separation files are not correct
When using spot colors to overprint, the PDF files show knockouts in Acrobat. For example, when overprinting a 10% black square over a Pantone square, the result is a knockout, even though the attributes are set to overprint.
When correcting for this I tried the Transparency feature to make a 10% gray, but the result is an overprint with a screen for each plate where the overprint should occur. (see attached image) The only correct plates were produced by printing a postscript file and using distiller to create the plates. This did not happen is previous versions.

Curvature tool has a mind of its own!
Curvature Tool makes curved lines before using the handles...it thinks for itself - never used to be this way. The old way is the best - older versions before 2018 I believe.
Please advise...1 vote -
Progress in window or panel
I almost never use the Application Bar (Mac).
Maybe put a progress bar for saving files in a regular window or panel?

Link update & crash
When a linked file updated externally (on Photoshop), update link pop up window appears before the saving completes, makes both programs crash.
to explain in detail; Let's say i have an psd illustration linked in illustrator, if i edit the linked illustration on Ps save document and go back to ai, normally when the saving completes Ai comes up with and pop up window (if it is not preferred as automatic update) and asks if i want to update, when i click yes, and realize Ps file is still saving at the point of 99%..since i clicked yes, Ai can…

Home page + document bug
[BUG] When I return to the "Home" window, the GUI shows in a smaller area on the screen. If I proceed to open any document or create a new one, the window is inoperable and no UI shows up. I then have to restart AI to restore functionality.

Move objects always moves downwards in y direction, behaves fine in x
Selecting an object and hitting ENTER brings up the 'Move' dialog and, for a while now, negative values moved things up and positive values moved things down the y axis. Fair enough, we all got used to it. As of today, things behave differently and everything is always moved up, unless I adjust the angle in the two entry fields below. Please see attached GIF.

V24.0.1 on PC - Very slow and takes forever to save for a simple file
This is beyond usable. Trying to save a job and Illustrator is unresponsive and takes approx. 5min to save a simple file.
Tool use is very sluggish and when changing to the type tool, the program is unusable and greys out becoming unresponsive. Have opened in illustrator diagnostic mode and it just crashes when trying to exit.
Have turned off save in background and Optimize file open and save times on slow networks all to no avail.Trying to exit also takes forever and just greys out.
