Switching between tabs doesn't update the view
See the attached video. I have two files open. The second file I opened does not display. When I click on the file tab I still have the previous file displayed. Regardless of which file is active, I can only edit one. I can't even see the other. They are two completely different projects - they do not look the same. You are only seeing one file in this video, despite which one I select. I have to quite and restart, losing any changes I may have in the one file I cannot see.

Anchor Points Automatically Go Back When Moved
If I create a shape such as using the Rectangle tool then I click on a single anchor point and move it with the Direct selection tool, it goes automatically back to the position that it was at instead of where I moved it. However, if I move the shape then select the single anchor point and move it then it will go to the position to where I moved it.
Here's the kicker. This happens some of the time and not all of the time so there is no consistancy to it. I mean I can completely bypass this…

The bounding box for lines and narrow objects doesn’t have center handles
Missing the center handles for all lines, unable to extend lines properly (without scaling them) unless I switch to direct selection tool, which is a pain.
89 votesSo it’s obviously not fixed, and we all know it.
While the cursor gets changes into the horizontal/vertical two-headed arrow, the center handles for the bounding box indeed don’t appear, if the width/height of the art (here just an orthogonal line) is small enough.
Please continue to share you thought, screenshots, GIFs. It’s time to re-review this again.

Variable Data - ignoring a blank cell in the data library
Variable printing – an amazing utility within Illustrator which is probably often underutilized!
Unfortunately, if the .csv file containing your data contains a blank cell you'll run into issues. Fixing this or creating a workaround so that we can import those blank cells as just a space would be HUGE!
Printing mailing labels and being able to ignore a second line for an address would no longer be out of the realm of possibilities! And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
Let's get behind this – Help me vote this to the top!

'Fit to Artwork Bounds' doesn't work in action command
Illustrator 2020 won't crop the artboard to the illustration limit with an action.
I need to make an action which:
- Selects all
- Object > Artboards > Fit to Artwork Bounds
Not implemented.8 votesBoth 'Fit to Artwork Bounds' and 'Fit to Selected Art' commands can be inserted in an action using the 'Insert menu item...' command from the Actions panel’s flyout menu.
This approach can be used to insert other commands which Illustrator skips while recording. You can read more about it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/automation-actions.html

spot color limit
Please stop the limiting of the spot colors. I use multiple spot colors when making color swatches for profiling some of our machines. I do not always want to convert everything into CMYK in Illustrator.
I am not sure why this was changed because I can not understand what value limiting the colors adds?

Saving of files DISCARDED in certain conditions
When I'm in the midlle of saving a file, (so while I get the progress percents next to the name of the file) if I press CTRL + SHIFT + S, it DISCARDS the saving of the .ai, no warning message as it previously did (something along the lines "The document "***" is currently getting saved. Try again after the process is complete") and proceeds with exporting the PDF, leaving me with an old version of the .ai file, and with a PDF that it's up to date.

EVERYTHING Vanished
I was simply working on a design today, then all of the sudden, a small popup flashed at the top of the screen and then went away immediately. BOOM, Every single file that has anything to do with that piece of work vanished completely off my computer. The original picture (.jpg) and my recent saves (.pdf and .ai) are nowhere on my computer.
Why?

Illustrator and InDesign crashing multiple times a day
I have a weird crash — many but not all times I step away from my Mac (2020 MacBook Pro 16" running Catalina; 64GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB; Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB), Illustrator goes down (and often, InDesign as well). I'll come back and wake up the machine and am greeted with system crash messages. The crash message seems to be related to Dispatch queue. Is it possible this is tied to sleep functionality, or perhaps a GPU issue? Would love to resolve this.

Common Dialog Boxes lag: saves each step from Dialog Box
– MacOS Mojave 10.14.1
– AI 24.1.2The problem appears in ALL dialog boxes in Illustrator: from transforming to changing colours.
For example I want to move my object 10px to the left. I open the Dialog Box, all the Positions are 0, Preview is on. I enter 10px, the object moves to 10 px. But, for example, that isn't enough for my artwork, and i'm entering then 12px instead of 10px, in the same dialog box.
And then the "magic" happens.
Let's say the original position of the object is 0. When I enter 10px, the position changes also…

Spot color gaussian blur does not print out when printing separations to film
This must be a bug because it worked in previous versions. Spot color gaussian blur does not print out when doing separations.

Intro screen icons are not aligned
- The latest version of Illustrator
- On MacBook Pro 15" icons on launch/intro screen icons that belong to the sizes are not aligned. Should be aligned I guess. With a new update 2020 still the same issue.
