Memory Leak
Even with nothing open, the memory used for Illustrator keeps climbing exponentially until I get a dialog box up from the operating system telling me that my system is out of memory and to force quit software. It will say Illustrator is using 300 GB of RAM (even though I only have 40GB)

X and Y in values in the transform don’t reflect the position of 2x identical boxes, -they are in obviously different position on alert boar
X and Y in values in the transform don’t reflect the position of 2x identical boxes, -they are in obviously different position on the art board...the reading is incorrect. It’s up to me to manually manage the alignment. I tried using ALIGN, The align option is useless. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR AGES. I always trusted the the NUMBERS, BUT NOT LATELY. The X and Y readings in transform are NOT TO BE TRUSTED. Hence great stress. Please FIX the BUG. LOST MY FAITH ..., I wish I could go Back to OLD BUT STABE CS6...CS6, CS6*. …

.ai Files Auto-opening in After Effects
Ran an update yesterday and, since then, all native < .ai > files are auto-opening in After Effects. This occurs whether I launch from Bridge or Finder; double-clicking to open a native Illustrator file is now launching directly in to AE. I have checked each file to make sure that Illustrator is the default --- it is.

Could not read file because the plug in did not understand this file
Hi,
Illustrator was working fine, suddenly crashed and now says: 'Could not read the file because the plugin did not understand this file' everytime I try to launch.
I had alot of vectors on the document and several artboards and copies of work, some complex shapes and masks ect. Some of the some of the shapes which were masks in groups were clipping images, some of these clipping mask groups had been copied across documents and had missing links, which may be part of the problem.
Upon launching Illustrator a dialogue box appears and asks to 'replace' or 'ignore' the…

Illustrator have weird display problem halfway during my work.
I've recording down what had happen to my AI recently. I have no idea why this happen, and i don't know the keyword to search for an answer to solve this problem so I decided to post it here. This had happen a lot recently almost everyday and at least happen twice or thrice a day. This had already happen for at least one or two weeks. And the properties panel also is unviewable because everything is squishing together, unviewable and unuseable. (for the properties panel unviewable problem, I didn't get the chance to took a picture before Ai crashed.)…

Settings in French / préférences en français

We can't read 2 settings completely, too many characters.
1 option is too short: Rayons d'arrondis, for this one, the tooltip is helpful. Previous version of Ai use: Mettre à l'échelle les ... and it was better for to understand.1 vote -

Undo affects loaded actions, Redo makes them loose their shortcuts
It is telling when "Actions" is not even included in the "category" menu.
Load a saved Action set that includes Actions with keyboard shortcuts
Perform an "Undo" in AI
The Actions you just installed will be deleted
Perform a "Redo"
The Actions will reappear but without keyboard shortcuts.First: "Undo" should NOT affect the Actions.
Second: What is the deal with the lost Shortcuts??????
I am looking for a compelling reason to "upgrade" Illustrator. I am told this bug still exists in CC 2019!

Info palette moves to monitor Measure Tool is used
The Info palette instantly jumps to the monitor that you use the Measure Tool on. If it's connected to all the other palettes on a secondary monitor, all of them instantly jump to the monitor where you are using the Measure Tool.
Like most people, I have my palettes on a secondary monitor and my main monitor has my document. So every single time I use the Measure Tool, my palettes jump over to the main monitor.
Please fix this so the Info palette stays where I put it when using the Measure Tool.

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.
