1. Installed Fonts Not Being Updated

   I've tried the forums but this issue is still not solved & I've not been able to find a solution anywhere. Allow me to clarify.

   This issue affects both the font menus and fonts in the entire document & actually across unlimited documents after unlimited numbers of app restarts and system restarts. I assume this can be fixed because I have proper behavior on one machine & improper behavior on another.

   I build fonts. I use Illustrator as one of many apps in which I test the fonts as part of my workflow. The problem I am having is that fonts DO NOT UPDATE in Illustrator after I have deleted the old, installed copy & installed an updated version. If I change some characters or kerning or font names or any other characteristic of the font & reinstall Illustrator still shows me the old version of the font. The changes are not reflected in the doc or in the menus no matter how many times I start a whole new doc or restart Illustrator or restart the system.

   Again I want to make clear that on my other machine which has the exact same OS & the exact same version of Illustrator the behavior is totally different. That machine behaves the same as every other version of Illustrator I've had on every machine since the 90's. If I update an installed font file the changes show up immediately in any open doc with no need to quit, make a new doc or restart. Illustrator picks up the new copy of the font immediately with no action on my part.

   I can not get my new machine to behave this way after trying many, many fixes & investing many hours of research into the issue. I would appreciate some help from an Adobe expert please.

3. Color palette overrides fill colors and color modes in Illustrator 2018

   Hi, I am a design professor and most students in my class experienced a specific problem when we were doing an exercise to learn how to apply the correct color palettes to different logo files. Specifically, we created fictional identity designs as a means to learn how to create a production-ready bundle of files (a logo with versions in b&w, spot color (Pantone), 4-color process, and RGB). Almost 100% of my 18 students had their 4-color process file -- which was filled with CMYK colors upon designing, and should have stayed CMYK -- show up as being filled with RGB when opened after having been closed.

   Through testing this unusual pattern of error across all of their files, it appears that Adobe Illustrator will choose to show colors in the color palette that was last opened within the application, and if the palette isn't the same as the fill colors, it creates a color translation of what the color should be into what it want to show you. Stated another way, the students had trouble getting the color palette to hold the color information they entered (percentages/values of either CMYK or RGB, in particular). Regardless of what they had entered, a computer with one or the other of these color palettes open would override their settings. Unacceptable. In one case, I also witnessed a student manually enter RGB values, only to deselect the item, select the object again, and then find different RGB values in place than those I watched him enter. In 19 years of teaching, I've never seen this problem be so widespread across student files.

   For what it's worth, the Pantone palette behaved. The problem specifically is between RGB and CYMK colors/color palettes. PLEASE FIX THIS. This will cause major problems in real projects that rely upon color mode accuracy. Please contact me with information about the problem and/or solution. We would appreciate a follow-up.

4. All toolbars gone - Illustrator CC 2019

   As soon as I open the Illustrator today, every toolbar was lost. Even if I click the workspace presets, it doesn't do anything. I already returned all the lost tool bars manually but when I opened Ai, they're gone again. Please fix this. Thank you.

5. Every time Illustrator start, CEPHTMLengine steal focus by constantly being killed/crash and restarted

   This is a bug, not an idea.
   I'm using Illustrator 2019 with full Adobe CC over Windows 7 pro, Since the update from 2018 every time I start Illustrator all other windows loose focus every 20sec, including Illustrator. I can not even type a full sentence when illustrator is ON. Once Illustrator is closed, the normal focus returns.
   I noticed that the CEPHTMLEngine start when Illustrator start and its being killed or crash every 20sec and then is restarted, This restart steal focus from any program running in windows. The cycle continues until Illustrator is closed.

   I'm behind a corporate firewall that block any rogue application from accessing the internet and Adobe CC and Illustrator had been cleared and everything had worked OK since 2016 until the new 2019 version.

   Please fix this bug or indicate the procedure to prevent CEPHTMLengine from stealing focus.

7. Changing leading up and down in Character panel makes it 1 or 1295 pt

   When the leading is set to (Auto), using the up/down arrow UI buttons in the character palette to change the leading results in weird leading sizes. Toggling up from Auto using the up arrow in the UI produces a leading of 1 pt. Toggling down from Auto produces a leading of 1295 pts!

9. Applying 'line' freeform gradient crashes Illustrator

   Trying to change any freeform gradient's 'Draw' setting from 'Points' to 'Lines' results in an immediate crash, no matter what shape it's being applied to.

   I have uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator multiple times, and completely reset all user configuration settings, and this behavior remains unchanged.

   Illustrator version: 23.0.6
   OS: macOS Mojave, version 10.14.6

   Doesn’t happen anymore in recent builds

10. Sync with Adobe Draw

    I am new to using Adobe Draw and sending the vectors direct to Illustrator.

    Draw has a simple one click feature to send a vector to AI. Except that it doesn't work quite as it should. The project gets stuck in the cloud, I can see any drawing I create then send 'direct' in my Adobe.com assets > mobile creations. It doesn't push through to AI, which I have open while I'm working in Draw.

    I have been through the support team, and have been advised the only solution is to send all my drawings through, then restart both devices, then open both apps simultaneously to make this 'one click' feature work. A shame that it takes this to sync up and negates the one click awesomeness. Please fix this guys!

    Both Apps are the latest versions, Draw is 4.7, AI is 23.0.1, and I have a CC subscription. I'm logged into the same Adobe CC account on both devices (an iPad Pro with iOS 12.1.3 and iMac late 2015 with Mojave 10.14.2).

12. ExtendscriptToolkit is 32bit-only, OSX Catalina is 64bit-only

    I use a script I wrote for an important business function. For the last couple OSX upgrades, it has been warning me that ExtendscriptToolkit is not compatible with future versions of the OS. Specifically, OSX Catalina, which has been seeded to developers, will only support 64bit applications, and ExtendscriptToolkit is a 32bit application. Is that going to be addressed before the OS is released?

13. Art board freezes, then disappears

    I use a Wacom to draw my art on Adobe Illustrator 2019 cc, 23.0.6 64 Bit. I haven't had any problems drawing, but today I am only able to draw a few items before the art board completely freezes and I can't draw anymore. HOWEVER, when looking at my layers, everything I draw shows up. I just can't see it on the actual art board. The things I was able to draw, I am unable to move or change. Then trying to fix it, the whole art board disappears, but it still says it there on the Layers tab...

    Please help me.

14. Option + Enter (on keypad) doesn't work anymore to produce a copy

This doesn't work anymore. nothing happens. I have to hit option + return for this to work. It used to work a few versions ago. Can you please change it back. it's super annoying inputting numbers on the keypad and not being able to hit the enter key next to the keypad to create a copy. Thanks :-)

15. After unlink vector art from symbol, handles and points never appear again - CC 23.0.2

    I see that this bug was supposedly fixed but it's back.

    I made a vector shape and dragged it to the symbols palette.

    Then I placed the symbol in my artboard, and unlinked the placed art from the symbol.

    Now when the shape is selected, no handles or points are ever visible again - I can not select all or any handles or points with the direct selection tool, because they are gone. The shape can not be manipulated.

    It does not matter if I cut and paste it, expand it, ungroup it, double click it, or paste it into another document then cut it and paste it back in the original document again.

    The only way to get shape handles and points back again is to cut or divide the shape and then join it back together. This creates extra points that have to be cleaned up.

    Same behavior as previously in previous bug. :(
