Crash on Quit
Illustrator crashes on quit 4 out of 5 times on my Mac and has for many months and builds. Crash on quit wouldn't be so bad if Illustrator didn't save so many interface and plugin settings on quit. The main crash indicator is below and full log is attached. Currently running illustrator 24.2.3, macOS Catalina 10.15.6. 2019 16" MacBook Pro Radeon Pro 5500M.

SVG paste truncating curves
Pasting SVG seems a bit broken. I have 1778 curves that I've copied from Rhino 3D WIP (it copies as SVG). I paste it to Illustrator, and Most of the curves automatically change to straight. Not only that, but it's automatically merging some of the points that are close together.
This leads me to believe that Illustrator is rounding the points lower than it should.
Enter Inkscape. I pasted there, and it's fine. I wanted to check to see if it was a failure of Rhino. So copied from Inkscape and paste to Illustrator... same issue.
Copy only a Little…

Background Save does not work
Background Save does not work in Illustrator unless very specific conditions are met (must be a PDF-compatible AI file). Many users prefer to work with PDF switched off - and background save should also work when saving the file as a PDF document. It's basically a half-finished feature and should work under all circumstances and conditions.

Stroke weight defaults to 10pts on oversized custom Artboard
If I create a new document one of the standard sizes, say Letter... then draw an object and apply a stroke... the stroke size defaults to 1pt as it should. However, if I define a new custom oversized artboard, say 500 inches square, then draw and object... when I apply the stroke, the size defaults to 10pts.

Illustrator très lent depuis la dernière MAJ. MacOS Catalina 10.15.6
J'ai fait une mise à jour il y a environ 3 semaines et je viens d'en faire une autre. Depuis la première MAJ, mon Illustrator est très lent, ce ne travaille pas bien du tout.

Transparent PNG exporting fine but gives black background when importing
I used Illustrator 24.1.1 to export transparent PNG images. I can use these images in other programs and as web images but when I want to use them in Illustrator again it opens with a black background. I've tried to copy and paste the images, I've tried to place it and even to open it and then drag it to my workspace. Nothing works. I'm using Windows 10.

Objects imported from SVG have their gradients turned upside down
Illustrator 24.2 on Windows 10 PC.
Open the attached SVG file. Select the rectangle with the gradient. Now select the Rectangle tool and create another rectangle which will inherit the look of the first rectangle. Now we have two rectangles on the canvas which look the same.
Yet their appearance in the Appearance panel is different — the imported object has the red color on the bottom while the newly created object has the red color on the top.
It's not simply a cosmetic issue — if you drag and drop the appearance of the imported rectangle to another object,…

Align Text box with Object
Using Windows 7 or High Sierra and Illustrator 24.2
Align text with any object is not aligned properly. Presently it takes text box and actual height/width of text and aligns object width/height.
I understand this is way Illustrator text work, but can changed/update so can properly aligns. Hoping to get it resolved in near coming versions.
The alignment should work like Indesign or any vector program. Check attachment.
4 votesYou can now choose to align to preview bound of a type object, using Align to Glyph Bounds option in Align panel’s menu.
Please comment back if you have any problems with that.

Guides not scaling correctly on copy/paste into large canvas
If I copy a 5"x5" rectangle from a regular document and paste it to a large canvas document, it remains 5"x5", as expected.
However, if I convert the same shape to a guide and then copy it from a regular document to a large canvas document, the guide becomes 50"x50". This really makes things difficult when copying guides and artwork together into a large canvas.

New update (v24.3) printer errors
After the latest Illustrator update (v24.3), it keeps giving me printing error messages. My printer drivers and etc are up-to-date. This is the first time this has happened in many years, I don't even remember the last time I had printer errors via Illustrator. I've used Ai for over 20 years of my professional design and illustration career, several of the Ai CC 2020 updates have been nothing but a royal pain-in-the-a$$ overloaded with glitches, bugs, and crashes. I've never been so frustrated with this beloved drawing program. Adobe, please get Adobe apps to work properly like it once was.…

Creating Halftones Quality Has Decreased
I am beyond frustrated with what used to be a smooth, simple rendering process for creating halftones. I do what most do: create the shape with a black to white gradient > create setting under Color Halftone > Expand Appearance > Image Trace > Expand Appearance (again). Boom, done.
Howevre, please refer to my image below. From left to right, this is what is happening now with the current software. First on the left is the gradient shape. Next is the effect if you apply the color halftone. So far no issues. But as soon as you apply Image Trace,…

Lines form while moving canvas
Every time I move the canvas down using the hand tool or scrolling up, these weird horizontal lines of color like 1 pixel high drop like some delay previewing or something. It's not easy to explain.
I don't experience this in any other Adobe program.

SVG files not properly being displayed in Adobe Illustrator
SVG files are not opening properly in Adobe Illustrator. I can open them in browsers or in Inkscape with no issue. When I open them up in Adobe Illustrator, they are rendered and displayed incorrectly.

new project presets not appearing
I am starting a course to learn Adobe Illustrator. However, when I click on "create new" the dialogue box that opens only populates with Adobe Stock templates. No matter if I click print, web, or mobile there are no presets or options for me to change the project settings. Kind of hard to begin the course if I can't create a project with the specific setting for my assignments.

BUG: Envelope Distort (with Anti Alias option on) changes colour values of embedded images.
When trying to use Envelope Distort (eg Mesh) and the 'Anti Alias' option to maintain clarity, if the artwork features embedded images (eg a multichannel PSD that must be embedded for Envelope Distort action) it is clearly seen the results with and with AA active are different. Only without use of AA will the colour values remain faithful to the original pre-distorted image.
Whilst I would expect some changes along edges, etc. that would benefit the most from using AA, it is seen across the entire image. This is not correct and renders the Envelope Distort function unusable for these…

PDF Export/Save .joboptions not appearing; cannot use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard joboptions
Adobe PDF Export presets (.joboptions) that work in ID, PS do not appear as options in Save As > PDF in AI.
Edit > Adobe PDF Presets... show they are installed. Attempting to Install them manually returns an error: "The preset '[XX.joboptions]' is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file." They cannot be Edited nor Exported from this dialog. (Even though they can be Edited and reimported in other apps.)
Affected presets use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard.
Illustrator requires PDF Export presets specifying Standard PDF/X-4:2007 or lower/None.
Creating new presets within Illustrator and selecting "Standard: PDF/X-4:2010" in the dialog actually creates .joboptions…

Simplify Path flags points incorrectly as smooth
When using Simplify... on a path with several corner points, the resulting simplified path will have several of its corner points flagged as "smooth". As soon as you try to move one of the tangents of the incorrectly flagged corner point, the opposite tangent will snap into a colinear position.
