Fix Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 Type Library Reference - VB scripts return error
Illustrator CC 2019 Type Library is broken when attempting to Reference from Visual Studio.
VB.Net or C# projects attempt to add the reference from: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2019\Plug-ins\Extensions\Scripting Support.aip, and give the attached error.
My idea, is for Adobe to fix it!
Older versions work fine.

Adobe Illustrator point location does not move when changing Y coordinates value by a hundredth.
Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.1 on Windows 10 x64 Version 10.0.18362
After giving an object a stroke of 5 and attempting to move a point in the bottom left corner, I discovered that it was not being consistent when being changed in the hundredths. When changing it, it appears to be the same as whatever position it was before. I expected the Y value 483.61 to put the location of the point somewhere in between the coordinates 483.6 and 483.611, but this is not the case.

AI displays the START SCREEN on opening the file and the document view do not switches (refreshes) the file content.
v 22.1
When trying to open an existing file while Illustrator is closed, the software will lag and then hang on the opening screen. The file appears to be opened in the background, but there's no way to access or see it. The opening screen will give options to open additional files or create a new one (as usual) but when trying to do either, nothing will open and no New File Options menu will appear.
Everything will work normally only if I open Illustrator first and then the file.
This happens will every file I've tried, so this isn't…

Some files are gray in MacOS 10.15.1 open/place dialogs
When accessing the open/place dialog on MacOS 10.15.1, some file names are gray while others are the normal black. They are still selectable, but gray. It looks like you can't select them, though. Disconcerting.

Using brush tool either freezes AI or stops displaying on canvas but is updating in layers
Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.0
My system: Windows 10When using the brush tool after a few minutes it either freezes AI or it will stop working on the canvas.
So I can still use the mouse or tablet to move the cursor but nothing is transpiring on the canvas. However, in the layer section it is updating each stroke.It is doing it every time I start a new project.

Grouped Objects Resizing Errors & Inconsistency
macOS Mojave 10.14.5
Illustrator 23.0.6 - ( issue has existed through many versions / upgrades )
—I thought that I had successfully reported this particular issue in the recent past, but cannot find it in a search, so am re-reporting. My apologizes if I'm doubling up.
The Process :
Let's say I have multiple objects of various width and height sizes — e.g. to keep things simple, let's say one object is 4in w x 4in h, and another is 6in w x 4in h.
I then position/possibly-resize the multiple objects precisely and group them together so that their…

Gradients Crashing Illustrator
Every time I drag a color swatch, whether an existing swatch or eye-dropped, into my gradient panel, Illustrator crashes. I'm also having issues with my gradient sliders spazzing out when trying to drag them. It causes my program to freeze up. I have one file open and only five gradients in my file, so not enough to overload illustrator. It's making my job extremely hard to do. I have also restarted and tried re-installing illustrator.

Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here. -

Illustrator crashes when using Image Trace
Illustrator has been continually crashing when I use the Image Trace tool. I have been using it on the "Sketched Art" setting with an image file that is 20in x 13in @ 300dpi. Also, I have noticed that when I start to manipulate the advanced options, this is when it crashes most often.
I am using Illustrator CC on Mojave OS.

Sunburst shape distorted when saving Illustrator (Version 24.0.3) file to PDF
Sunburst shape distorted when saving Illustrator (Version 24.0.3) file to PDF. I have created a sunburst shape in illustrator using a circle shape, then adding a dashed like stroke. The file looks totally fine in illustrator and also when I save it as a PNG and JPG, but when I save it as a PDF the sunburst is distorted (uneven lines). I even sent an illustrator file to a printer and my prints arrived distorted, which means they had the same problem. They are also using the latest version of illustrator. Is this a bug?
