Text cursor on Mac with Retina Display incredibly thin
The text cursor is extremely thin on a Mac with Retina-Display. In an empty text box the cursor is nearly invisible, having the same width as the frame of the box. On a regular display, the cursor has a much better visibility. You should auto-detect the screen resolution and choose an appropriate width for the cursor or you should let the user choose a size in the preferences.

Cannot select type baseline with text tool when snap to grid is active.
Is there an option I'm missing here with the newer versions of Illustrator? I have to key command the grid on and off constantly just to highlight small captions or type.

Bounding Box is larger than selected objects’ bounds, as if something else is selected
Adobe, have you seen this page. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1148039
The bounding box problem has persisted over versions, years. Extremely strange that it continues to pester even to this day. Will you ever do anything about it?53 votesIf this is something that is still happening for you, please share a test file you can reproduce this problem with, along with the video showing this happening for you, so that the team can try to reproduce it and investigate.

Dragging Live Corners Rotates Object Instead of Rounding the Corner
OS: Windows 10 Pro 1909
Version: Illustrator 24.3Expected result:
Hovering over a live corner and dragging it should let me round the corner.Actual result:
Dragging a live corner more often than not rotates the object instead. Only by making sure my cursor is hovering as far away as it can be from the corner, but still showing the curve icon and dragging can I consistently get the right behaviour. Otherwise it rotates the object instead.This has been something I've experienced since at least March, and there's an Adobe Support Community post about this same issue from April…

Copy Bezier pen behavior from After Effects
In AE, we can hold down the alt/option key to instantly break smooth anchor points. In other words: Dragging a control point while alt/option is down, enables separate manipulation of the control point (breaking it).
This is way more effective than selecting a separate tool. Maybe this can be added, since alt/option has no function at the momen. (and because in a suite - one would expect similar tools to work the same ;-)

White flickering screen: Illustrator 2019 gltches out video card in Macs with AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB graphics card...
it's an Apple & Adobe conflict with each other regarding the AMD graphic card driver(s) + Mojave OS 10.14. Rolling back to Illustrator 2018 doesn't fix it. I first thought it was a physical hardware problem (dying graphics card) until we experienced the problem on multiple Macs in the same way.
This issue didn't exist prior to updating to Mojave, however, I think Mojave and Adobe were fine together until updating to Adobe CC's 2019 products which had the initial conflict and, in turn, created the same conflict for the prior Adobe CC versions + Mojave.
I 100% believe there…

Cursor in input fields is almost not visible with light UI after 24.2.3, on any display
The cursor in any field where you can insert values is so light that you can almost not see it.
The contrast in the fields should be increased so that the cursor is visible again.OS X 10.15.6, Illustrator 24.2.3

Software does'nt work
Dear Adobe Creative Cloud helper,
I have upgraded my software to version Illustrator 2021 via my Creative Cloud account on my iMac Pro (MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina). Everything was seemingly going right but, when I open my new Illustrator 2021, it quits out as soon as I move the mouse …

Illustrator could only partially read this file
When I load the first attached file in 24.0.1 (with Windows 10) it loads OK and I can edit it. When I save it and try to reload it in 24.0.1 it says Illustrator could only partially read this file. That's awful when Illustrator cannot read a file it has just saved.
The layers (and sublayers) under ALL > WATERWAYS > A-B beginning with A have all gone missing when it reads in what it can. Other parts may be missing too.
It works fine in 23.1. and I have had to revert to using that.
I have lost a…

Extremely slow resize objects selected with multiple sublayers.
The performance of resizing object is killing my Adobe Illustrator. Waiting (5 minutes don't helps).
But If I scale the same objects but in a flat layer (single layer) it is done in miliseconds.
The problem is only when I scale objects in multiple layers. But i need it to use in Adobe Character Animation
The PC is very good (64GB RAM, 3700x procesor, Nvidia 2070 Super )

Icon font shows Tofu
I created a font with emoji. I installed it in the Application support/Adobe/Fonts folder as I do with all fonts I test. Emoji characters like duck show two Tofu characters, although in the glyphs panel it is displayed correctly, please see attached screenshot.
In all other applications, the character can be displayed.

Bug: Shift + clicking anchor point with Delete Anchor Point tool doesn't retain curve shape
24.1.1 on Windows 10 and Mac Mojave
In CC 2020, Shift + clicking an anchor point with the Delete Anchor Point tool is supposed to work like the Simplify Path tool -- the shape of the curve shouldn't change. But even on a path with redundant anchors, this new shortcut doesn't work. The curve changes shape as in previous versions.

Please check if it does and comment back if it doesn’t.

Have to Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V in Illustrator, before I can Ctrl+V anywhere else.
I've had this problem for the past months (half a year-ish?). Figured it'd get patched out, but it hasn't.
SO in order to copy something from Illustrator to any other program, I have got to paste it in Illustrator again first. So let's say I'd make a circle in Illutrator and I'd want to copy that to Photoshop, I'd have to Ctrl+C the circle in Illustrator, then Ctrl+V it in Illustrator again and only then I can paste it in Photoshop. If I were to Ctrl+C it and directly paste it in Photoshop without pasting it in Illustrator first, it'd…

Appearance: Empty Stroke blocks Fill
When applying a colour to a selection, sometimes this has no effect. While both the Color and the Appearance panel reflect the chosen colour, the object doesn't.
Most of the time the (unlogical) cause seems to be a Stroke without colour.
When changing the order in Appearance to having the Fill on top, the colour appears.Please make an uncoloured stroke of no influence on underlying fills.

SVGs opened in Illustrator don't include blend modes
I created an SVG in Illustrator that has some layers using the blend mode "overlay". I export out the SVG and it looks perfect. If I open that SVG in Illustrator it turns the blend modes into "normal" instead of "overlay".
