EPS files look slightly off in working document and exported files for web
We have used .eps files for our logos for many years with no issues. Now, .eps files placed into a document (usually logos) appear just slightly off -- sometimes it will be the rounding of one of the letters, or a little chunk off the side of some letters. Some of the letters may appear to be outlined or thicker than others. In some cases, the issue is so subtle it isn't caught before going to print. Registered trademark symbols are often corrupted.

Sometimes click outside artboard to deselect object not working
Illustrator v24.0.2
I don't know what triggers this, but sometimes there's error in selection that causing the object to be highlighted and can't deselect it by clicking outside artboard with selection tool.
This is getting frustrating. I really hope Illustrator get a renewal just by rebuilding the program from scratch without changing the initial tool since the bug is just too much.workaround :
If the object is a grouped object, then double click it to enter isolation mode, and double click again to get out.
If not, then, save and close and re-open the document.2 votes -

Scroll on hover over unselected tools or library panels not working in 2020 release.
Prior to the 2020 release of Illustrator, when I was working in a document (with my various tools panels and CC Library panel docked to the side of the page) I could have my artboard/artwork selected and hover my mouse over a tools pane or library and scroll to see my options (without clicking to select that pane.) Now it doesn't seem to work anymore. I have to click on whichever tools pane or the library pane to activate it before I can begin scrolling through the options. It may not seem like much of a bug, but it actually…

Illustrator loses links to artwork that is renamed in library
When I rename a graphic I am reusing throughout my file, all links to that graphic are lost and when I try to copy layers containing those linked graphics, Illustrator reports the following errors:
- "the document contains pdf objects that have been reinterpreted"
- "an unknown imaging construct"
- "an unknown shading type"If I have many instances of that artwork in multiple layers, it takes a lot of time to have to find every single instance, delete it, drag the renamed graphic in, move it to the correct layer, resize and rotate, and reapply the styles I had…

Character styles do not allow for optical alignments and kerning
Paragraph style applied to text area does not allow for optical margin alignment.
Not sure why this is happening but one paragraph style will let me kern punctuation outside of the box, and then another one will not. Instead, the character styles flicker around as I kern and will not change.
Converting the paragraph style to another one fixes this issue - but reappears when I apply the intended style.
Mac OSX Catalina.

Missing Text on Menus?
I'm working on a 21.5 inch late 2015 image, 2.8 with 8GB using Mojave. I'm not quite sure what steps are happening and if there is a hardware issue on my side, but when I use Illustrator, there is an intermittent bug that seems to happen. Here's how it goes:
Using Illustrator, usually the pen tool.
The spinning beach ball pops up.
The screen freezes for a few seconds.
When it pops back into play, none of the menus have text. Literally, NONE, even those outside of Illustrator (Chrome, the Apple drop downs to restart/shut down)Is it just destroying…

in Version 24.02 when trying to export a single PDF with all art boards AI will only export single pages, why?
I updated to 24.02 this morning and now I am unable to save PDF files as multi-page documents. No matter what setting I select AI will only export whatever artboard I am currently working on at the time of export. This was not an issue for me yesterday. So frustrated.
