The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. CANT
Since the last update.. Every time I try to trace & make something. I get this error message "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. CANT" then the placed image I tried to trace disappears and only an empty selection box remains. If i do "undo" the image will return. How come I cannot trace anymore? What can I do to fix it?

Generic Color Palate
I am using the newest version of Illustrator. Within the last week or so, my generic CMYK color palette has changed. The percentages that make up the color are different on nearly every color. My black color swatch used to be 100% black. Now it is C:74.97 M:67.92 Y:67.05 K:90.15. Everything in my document is set to CMYK. I changed nothing. My yellow is C:6.18 Y:96.55. It used to be 100% yellow. All of the colors have this issue. Please let me know how I can get this back to the normal way. I've been using Illustrator for the last…

Illustrator CC 2019 Crashes on Open / Create
Windows 10, could not open files or create new in Illustrator CC 2019 but CS6 was fine.
Updated Illustrator CC - same issue.
Uninstall / clear prefs / reinstall - same issue.
Searched forums, found this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/Illustrator/Illustrator-CC-2019-keeps-crashing-when-opening-files/td-p/10641479I JUST updated my printer driver a couple of days ago because I was having printer issues. I hadn't opened Illustrator since then. I uninstalled my printer and voila! Illustrator will open / create files now.
Re-installed the printer and Illustrator CC 2019 appears to be behaving now. I will come update this if it…

Duplicated artboards containing Export Assets link to the new artwork not the original
As the title says, Assets in the Export panel move from the original artboard and become linked to the new artwork on the duplicated artboards. Subsequently when you remove any artwork from the new artboard, you inadvertantly remove the asset from the Export panel.
Methodology:
Duplicate an artboard (which contains an asset in the export assets panel) via the Alt-drag method. Ensure the move/copy artwork option is enabled. Delete the new copy of the artwork/asset on the new artboard, and the asset is removed from the export panel.Expected behaviour:
Any link to/connection to export assets should be retained by…4 votes -

Constant crashing, lagging, power drain,
Illustrator is constantly slow, lagging, crashing, unresponsive, and small files are acting like large files. I have been using Illustrator for 8 years, but now, it is affect my ability to do my job. I am so incredibly disappointed with the performance issues, slow response time, and I dread having to use this program now. The CS6 version was WAY better than this.
Please adobe, for all of your customers, fix what's broken before adding new features, and 16GB of ram is no where near enough to run this program anymore. 32... maybe.

Why can't I select and deslect multiple layers with shift& alt anymore?
Oh this drives me crazy,... I suddenly can't select multiple layers by holding down the shift key. And deselecting with alt isn't working either.
Does anyone know how to solve this because I can't work this way.
I already restarted, did an extra update, nothing seems to help.5 votes -
Panels, windows not updating or displaying correctly
Finding this bug a lot recently. Basically I will be working in a file and the tool panels won't display, you can right click and see the the pop ups but nothing appears. Likewise if you have two or more documents open and switch between them, the screen stays the same. It says I'm on the new document but it doesn't change. The only way to fix it is to close and restart the program. I also get it with photoshop. Both at work and home. I'm essentially running the same software/hardware at either site. 27" iMac 16GB, 32gb RAM,…

Find and replace text via action
Find and replace text via action does not record OR play as expected
Recording a find and replace operation records the find and replace dialog box twice (shows up in the action twice) and when playing the action, the only thing that happens is the find portions, the replacement text portions are completely ignored.
Note that this only seems to be the case when using "replace all" button in the dialog. Using the "replace" button seems to record and play correctly, even though the list of operations/options shown in the actions pallet is identical for both.
I found a forum…

Illustrator 2019 won't quit (thinks a window is open) & all the menus are in disabled state.
Hello,
I updated to Illustrator 2019 today, and I have gone to close it down but the option is greyed out in the file menu.
If I click anywhere it makes the error noise as if I have got an open window.
This seems to be a glitch with the latest software release.Thanks
18 votesI am glad to update that this issue was fixed in 23.1 release.
Thank you for all the feedback.

CC 2019 version runs slow!
For some reason in this 2019 version of the program it chugs and is very slow to move around and work with my files, even if the files are not very large. I usually have to shut the program down and restart to correct the problem. Would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and if someone at Adobe could address this, thank you.

Holding Shift with Smart Guides enabled when using Scale tool is works unreliably
macOs Sierra 10.12.6
Illustrator 23.0.1 - Scale tool doesn't work the same as it's been for years!! Ugh!
Please revert to the legacy behavior of scaling shapes, images and text proportionately by using the scale tool + holding shift key and drag to enlarge or reduce size of shape proportionately. This way has been burned in my brain for many, many, many years. My fingers move faster than I can think, and now my logos turn out wonky unless I scale it the long way, by opening up the scale tool and typing in percentages!! No thanks.
For now, how…
