Workspace Panels Disappearing and/or not opening
I have a problem with workspace panels not showing up sometimes, or showing up but won't expand in order to use them after I launch Illustrator. The problem only affects the panels on the right, it never affects the toolbar or control panel.
I have had this problem over many versions of Illustrator, on different operating systems including fresh Adobe and Mac OS installs from scratch (not migrated) However I am currently on Mac OS 10.15.6 using Illustrator 25.1 and now very fed up with the bug.
A brief Google search shows others are having the issue too: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/workspace-panels-disappearing-and-or-not-opening/td-p/6781529?page=11

25.1 Type Library is invalid
Can not create Illustrator.Application.
The CLSID value stored in the Windows registry and ScriptingSupport.aip is different.
It seems that you need to create an Application object with a new CLSID, but the 25.0 version ID is stored in the registry.

Illustrator links are broken upon document recovery
After suffering through terrible support through the chat in Adobe Admin Console (basically just telling me that I'm wrong), I've been redirected here.
Here's the bug:
In Illustrator 24.1.X, all links will be broken when you try to open a recovered document. This does not happen in 24.0.X
How to reproduce:
Create an AI File
Link a png from the 'Links' folder next to it
Save it
Make an edit and let it Auto Save
Force Close AI
Open the 'recovered' file when it asks me
You are met with this:
'Could not find a plug-in to read the linked…

Illustrator strips out XMP metadata when exporting PNGs
From CS1 until CC2017 when exporting PNGs the XMP metadata was preserved; Adobe BROKE this in CC2018/2019/2020! It works for all other file formats. We have production customers that rely on the XMP metadata matching between the Illustrator file and the exported PNG. FIX IT! Photoshop fixed this bug in their most recent release - why are you behind?

Not possible to install Illustrator on M1
can't download the apps from my Creative Cloud. Error message 146.
I have granted all access rights to the necessary folders and subfolders, but still get the error message. Setting up a new user admin did not help either.
Can someone please help me! I need Illustrator urgently for my job!1 vote -
magically appearing anchor points
When I join paths, use the pathfinder tools, or shapebuilder options, anchors that I DID NOT create, appear. There is no rhyme or reason to when it will decide to do it. So annoying. Over time this degrades the image when enlarging, shrinking, offsetting paths and a number of other features I don't want to waste my time listing. I don't care what you say about vectors and your program, I've been doing this a long time, it happens. I personally deal with vinyl plotters. Plotters don't like unnecessary or extra anchor points. It can slow down the cut process…

Ui disappeared after update
After the most recent update, it looks like most of the ui has disappeared. Switching to EssentiaIs didn't fix it. I can still add windows (see attached)

Illustrator 2021
I have a 2015 macbook pro Catalina OS ver 10.15.7, 8 Gb 1867 MHz DDR3 with over 100 Gb free and an intel iris Graphics 6100 1536 graphics card
This computer was powerful enough to run the previous version of illustrator. However, with the new version (2021) there has been a significant slowdown to the point where even copy pasting a simple design takes a minute to do. It is slow and the lag is insufferable. Is there anyway down grading can become available or an option? Or is there something I can do to improve the performance of illustrator…2 votes -
new update (v25.1) hangs when I select all text
Hi, when I select all text objects in a file (Select>Object>All text objects), Illustrator hangs and I have to force quit. We have all had to revert to V24.3
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
Processor 4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR31 voteI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Align to pixel grid not working
I'll have a shape like a rectangle that is, for example, 84px x 118.9999px (according to every panel with those dimensions). If I click "align to pixel grid," nothing happens. The expected behavior is for the 118.9999px height to become 119px. I run into similar issues with X and Y coordinates as well as W and H dimensions.

Freeform gradient error with fill swatch on deselection
Windows 10 Pro 1909 on Illustrator 25.0.1
Deselecting an object with a Freeform gradient applied causes the fill swatch to show a question mark. If an object is then drawn with that question mark in the fill, Illustrator reports the following error:
"Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
Here are the steps to recreate:
- Draw rectangle with a fill but no stroke applied
- Fill with any 4 point freeform gradient
- Click away from rectangle
- Observe the fill swatch now has a question mark
- Draw another rectangle
- Error message appears.
Incidentally. the appearance panel shows nothing applied to…

Never ever change keyboard increments to 0,0028px
I updated illustrator this morning, and without ever knowing that this could be a possibility...nudging with the arrow keys just seem to stop working. It was extremely annoying since it is kind of second nature for me to use it. So I scrolled through google, looked everywhere to know how and why this is happening. After a while, in the midst of working, I finally see that I could change the 'keyboard increment' back to my trusted 0,5 px. I am truly baffled why anyone would think it is a good idea to just change that to 0,0028? what would…
2 votesThere were several reports here and there about this parameter going to the minimum allowed value by itself.
While this can be indeed a bug that happens for sure, another possible explanation can be the fact this value is the first one to be focused when Preferences shows up. I takes one gesture then to make it go all the way down, especially on Macs.
This would have to be studied closely.

Text height is wrong
When you select a specific text height, it is not correct. Say for instance you select 1 inch for text height but in reality the cap height is .68 inches. We work at a sign shop and a lot of jobs require a specific text height. This is misleading when I pick 1 inch for text height and it is no where near 1 inch in height. Can you please make it where the text height corelates to the actual cap height of the text, otherwise this feature is useless.
2 votesLatest Illustrator releases have Font Height Options you can access form Character panel’s menu — they allow you to set font height as a capital / x-height specifically.
The functionality has some minor issues (regarding rounded stems for some fonts, keeping the chosen option between launches), but otherwise it is very good. Please try it!

When I click on new A4 file button from the quick actions in the home screen of illustrator, it leads to a new file with a totally out of size template (see screenshots) : 74,083 x 104,775mm instead of 210 x 297mm
