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…

Unsauber
Vektoren lassen sich in Illustrator 2021 nicht mehr sauber und geschmeidig ziehen, Formen lassen sich nicht passgenau verschieben.
Sie "hopsen" mit Absätzen und können nicht mehr (wie früher in den alten Versionen) sauber und geschmeidig platziert/gezeichnet werden. Ich würde gern wieder sauber und geschmeidig mit Vektoren arbeiten. Was ist da faul?1 voteMost probably this happens because View > Snap to Grid is enabled

New Document Textbox doesnt' auto replace
When I open a new document and try to title it, the text that is automatically in the text box"Untitled-1" does not auto-replace when you start typing. I have to manually delete the untitleds. Can you please fix that and make it auto replace when we start typing the title?

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…

Window not showing
From the Finder (MacOS X 10.15.4), I open a n illustrator Document. The app comes forward and I see a black screen. The "Window" menu tells me that the document is open BUT where?

Try from Illustrator, File/Open: same thing, another fail. Quit app, relaunch app by launching doc from the Finder. now the file opens as it should. Close file, try again. Back to the black…

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.

Some text is missing and creating a text box will cause lag and not work
Windows 10 Enterprise, Illustrator 2021 v 25.0
I open an existing file authored in older versions of Illustrator. My annotations (circles with number text boxes) have no text boxes, and my text is missing in other places. But most text remains.
I can open a new file in v 25.0 and click text tool to add text. I can't type anything. I can try to click and drag to create a text box and it lags for minutes and does not allow me to type anything. If I try it lags again.1 vote -

AIC save as causing crash
When working with an AIC file it can not yet be embedded into InDesign. In order to do so, I need a local copy of the file.
When choosing "save as" and then a local folder, on pressing save Illustrator crashes. I have tried this several times on a few different computers now :(
Have had to resort to copying the contents and setting up a new document locally in which to paste - not efficient at all!

Unexpected fills when editing a pattern swatch
I manually created a pattern swatch and discovered I had an error. When I pull the pattern tile onto the artboard to edit I have fills where there were none. The motifs and lettering were created in Illustrator on iPad with the blob brush tool and then arranged into a repeating tile on the desktop -- most current CC release. I suspect the path orientation is reversed as when I try to remove the fill I still have a filled shape.

Illustrator remains on top at all times
I don't know if I've done something or there is a bug, but AI is stuck ontop as the front window and must be manually minimized. Selecting another programs from the task bar doesn't minimize or force AI to drop back. This is really hurting my work flow and driving me nuts.
