Delayed mouse movements when rulers are on
I have just switched from a PC to a Macbook Pro 15.
I never experienced any issues on my PC in the last 2 years of work, but since I started to work on the Macbook I noticed that the my mouse/trackpad movements were being delayed (feeling sluggish) when I had rulers on. I later noticed that this issue is present throughout Photoshop and InDesign as well.I tried community recommended fixes such as turning off dictation and disabling "Scale Cursor Proportionally", and none of it has worked.
While I can have smooth mouse movements with rulers off, scrolling/navigating through…

Cannot update links from links panel
Cannot update links by clicking "update" icon in links panel or by going to panel menu > Update Links. They do nothing. I have to wait until AI shows the "Some links need updating..." alert and then confirm to update or I have to close/open the file.
What the heck happened in the latest update(s)? Feels like all of the panels are super busted.

Align to compound shape / key object bug (CC 23.0.1 / Win 7)
While trying to distribute spacing using the Align palette, I've noticed a strange align bug which only appears to affect compound shapes when trying to align to a key object.

Text entry error when naming Adobe CC library items
First of all, great to see CC libraries getting some love with the addition of groups. I'd love to see further refinements, as I use CC libraries for all projects.
One issue I'm having with V23.01 on a Mac (Mojave V10.14.3) is with naming CC library items I've just dragged into the Libraries panel. The behavior I'd expect to see would be for the new item's name field to get keyboard focus, allowing me to immediately type in the name of the item I'd just added.
Currently, the item gets a default name (e.g. "Artwork 1," "Artwork 2," etc.). If…

Can't drag a color swatch onto a gradient color stop
macOS High Sierra, then Mojave 10.14.3
iMac 2017
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 24 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Graphics Radeon Pro 570 4096 MBI used to be able to drag a color swatch onto the color stops on the gradient slider, replacing the existing colors on the slider. Now, in Illustrator 2019, the vast majority of the time it only adds the color swatch as an additional stop instead of replacing it. So the gradient will go from 2 stops to 3 despite me only wanting to replace one of the 2 colors in it. I can…

Workspace Bug
Have a strange bug. Have Dual Cinema displays with all of my palettes on one monitor. Saved workspace for this configuration. If I click to toggle between fill/stroke it resets my workspace and moves all of my palettes over to my first monitor but only in the bottom right 1/4 of the screen. If i hit "x' to toggle between fill/stroke this doesn't happen.

Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor
Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor on Canvas.
Please remove this bug which is on illustrator since a long time (perhaps 2014/2015 version or before :/ ). It would be time to give a better UX on it because it's really boring.

Using Batch... and "Override save/export commands" does not work
Example: I have an action that prepares a logo file, then saves to ai and svg, and exports to png and jpg.
I have it recorded as an action, and it runs great.
If I try to use "Batch..." to run it on a folder of images I have options to "Override Action 'Save' commands" and "Override Action 'Export' commands" that will let you point the save/export commands to a new folder. This is great in theory, but does not work right.
After running the batch, I only have 2 files. Not 4. The Save as AI then SVG steps…

Appearance panel - Stroke on rectangle shape
I have a rectangle shape in my appearance panel. When I try to add a stroke to it, I get a row saying "outline stroke" (underdotted as if it should be able to change) and popup tips saying "click to edit effect". But nothing happens when trying to click to open stroke settings. So I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature request or simply me doing it wrong. Anyway, it seams to be meant to work, if not it would be great if you could add things like strokes to these shape rectangles/circles.

Can't open .dwg files all of a sudden
Ai CC 2019 - Can no longer open dwg files - the error is "unknown file format" the old work around used to be to save the .dwg & all xref's to a 2010 version and it would open. Super frustrating as this has occurred in the middle of a project. How to get the dwg's compatible again?
3 votesPlease email a dwg that was opening in CC 2018 but not on CC 2019.
