Illustrator Library Place Copy a Vector Broken
Illustrator 23.0.0.1 (64 bit) - Windows.
I have created some custom icons. Saved them as SVG.
Opened up these SVGs and then added to a Library.
On click place copy on a new art board. The vector is totally corrupt. (see attachment.)
The icons are correctly designed and all lines expanded.
If I place link they appear fine. (obviously I then cannot edit)
If I click edit they appear fine. (Using edit to open then cut and paste at the moment)4 votes -
Changing font size or leading doesn't get applied but jumps with Undo
When editing type, I will attempt to change its pt size or leading and no changes are made. When I attempt to undo those changes it jumps back about 10 steps. This happens at least once a day. I run the most recent macOS and CC.

can not operate the slider of the gradation panel
I use google translation
- Max OS Mojave 10.14.4, Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.2
- Select a gradient from the tool panel
- I want to operate the gradation slider
- I have a problem with the graphic panel and I can not click the slider. The bug disappears when dragging out of the panel group by dragging the gradient panel, but returning it to the panel group and selecting the gradient again from the tool panel causes the problem again.
The same phenomenon as the attached image occurs. The opacity and position boxes overlap the gradient box, and the gradient slider can not be…

Window resizes in increments
After a doc is open and the window has been open to the largest size. clicking the bottom right corner to resize the doc window feels like it is snapping to the bottom or to increments of a set size. HOW do we turn this off to resize the document window to any free flowing size ?

New Update 23.0.3 Causes Failure to Preview and Art Boards Save Erroneously in PDF
New Update 23.0.3 Causes Failure to Preview and Art Boards Save Erroneously in PDF- when saving out files they will error. The saved file will display and print a black gradient space in lieu of the art board and (seemingly random) graphics will be omitted. This is replicated when saving as a new AI or PDF or Printed from the saved file. The original AI file shows it prints normally but the print out is also erroneous.

GPU continues to randomly turn only white to black (not inverting!)
an ongoing issue with CC is the random and unprovoked flipping of Black to white on screen. Only the color white does this. This is not a case of color being inverted. It is only white in a file that suddenly turns black and then needs to be closed and reopened to fix.

tear-off
Mac: 10.14.5
Illustrator version: 23.0.4In the past I was able to save my workspace with toolbar tear-offs (shapes, pen, etc.). When I re-open Illustrator and select my custom workspace, my tear-off tabs are not present. I'm hoping to get the tear-offs to save with my saved wowrkspace.

Spot Colour separations from .EPS (DCS) gives blank plate
When outputting spot colour separations from a DCS .EPS file in Illustrator, one of the separations always generates a blank plate. I must duplicate the offending colour channel in Photoshop in order to get a print from it's duplicate.
Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC are updated to newest release on Mac OSX and Windows 7. Results the same printing to SoftRIP.ppd or Adobe PDF.ppdThe pdf example file contains the blank plate and the duplicate so you can see what should have printed. Let me know if you would need to see the native file DCS .EPS file

Fonts you use disappearing
First, I have done everything the Adobe support team told me and it didn't fix the problem. I have also reset Illustrator multiple times and re-install it and it didn't fix the problem. I also have no control an any Issues that I'm having so I can't tell you what I do that causes the problem it happens randomly like all Issues that I have shared and haven't shared yet.
I have attached a screenshot of the Issue that makes it clear whats happen with random fonts (typekit included).

dots (.) on units
when typing units, in any case (like sizing a square, or the width of a line), we were able to use the dot (.) for decimals, now it only reads the commas (,). So if i create a square (or any other object) and type on size something as: 3.5mm, it reads it as 35mm, if i want a 3.5mm square, i need to type 3,5mm (with a comma).
it is more practical to accept the dot, since it is right there at the numpad on the keyboard.
can we go back to that?

A number of my panels will not open - e.g.: when I click to expand the character panel, all I get below is a black box.
Many of my panels still open as they should. However, I'm having this problem with the info, character, paragraph, properties, stroke and align panels. Any help on what could fix it would be greatly appreciated? I've searched on the adobe support community and google and no one else seems to be having this problem. Thanks!

Bizarre Blending Behavior
When blending from one object to another, everything works great unless I want to expand the shapes, and then things get a little bizarre. i use this tool quite a bit and when expanding my blends, since CC 2019, I've never had a problem until now.
Not sure how to fix this other than rebuild the shapes... but this time it's a simple shape. Other times, it was not. Very inconvenient. Bewildered.

Illustrator 2019 inoperable after Windows 7 update
Windows 7, CC 2019, 64-bit PC:
Since latest Windows 7 update, Illustrator opens but none of the tools work, and the pull-downs roll back up before I can select one. Coworker with Illustrator 2017 has the same problem. Photoshop and Acrobat work.
Also, after the second-to-last Windows 7 update, we can no longer print a second PDF after making the first one, from any program (Illustrator, InDesign, AutoCAD...). We still have this problem too.

Copy and paste doesn't always work
Hi,
I've been experiencing problems with Illustrator. When I copy an object with the ctrl + c button and try to paste them it randomly doesn't work.
The problem is that I can't replicate it on command. At first I thought it had something to do with the laptop that I used, but it also happens on a freshly installed desktop.
My version of Illustrator is 22.0.1
I also checked the copy paste functions under the edit tab, and when I copied something it didn't show the ability to paste it. It could also only have something to do with…

New Document > Bleeds behaving strangely
- In the New Document window, begin by unlinking the bleed settings.
- Set your top bleed to any non-zero value.
- Click the link to re-link the bleed settings. All 4 settings will appear to change automatically, to match the top bleed set in step 2.
- Click OK
Unexpected result: A new document appears with only a top bleed, instead of matching bleeds on all 4 sides.
Tested with the same results on Mac and Windows, both running Illlustrator 23.0.3
EDIT: Sorry, just realised I hadn't specified, this error is in the legacy New Document window, not the new one.
