Missing embedded graphic upon export
I am creating a poster in Illustrator. I had a linked .png file that I had converted to black and white to use as a raster texture effect over my vector artwork. I accidentally had set my color mode to RGB when I created the file, so I converted to cmyk. When I had exported to RGB previous to this, everything exported fine. However, when I converted to cmyk, and I tried exporting, the raster image was missing upon export. I searched the web and tried saving the image as a TIFF & relinking, then as a PSD file and…

Paragraph style tab numeric measure is wrong
v22.1/23/0.1
Windows 10Both v22.1 and 23.0.1 show the wrong numeric 'X' measure when setting or adjusting a tab stop in a paragraph style. The measure shown is inflated both according to the ruler below the tab stop, and tabs set using the tab window. The numeric measure is inflated by an increasing amount the further the tab is from the left margin, and remains inflated whether units are set to mm or inches.
eg. 20mm tab stop shows as 29.8mm in the paragraph style dialog-

One column toolbar is not remembered and becomes two columns each launch
Toolbar does not remember the one column setting if "Show the home screen when no documents are open" is uncheck.
Step to reproduce:
- Reset all settings
- Run Illustrator
- For example set "Essentials" workspace (now you have one column toolbar)
- Open preferences
- Uncheck "Show the home screen when no documents are open"
- Check "Use Legacy File New Interface"
- Restart Illustrator
- Now toolbar have two columns (and thats the problem)
You must reset the workspace every time you open Illustrator to keep one column toolbar

Illustrator CC 2019 (v23.0.3) will not open files and immediately crashes when trying to do so.
I've been trying to work on both .ai and .eps files in Illustrator but it won't open them. It just crashes immediately when trying to do so. Is this a common occurrence with this version? Is there a new update coming soon?
This is an issue that is hindering work severely. I would appreciate anyone's insight on this.

Copy and paste doesn't always work
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 copying…

Popup dialogs disappear
This issue has been happening to me for some time now, despite updating to the newest version. Any modal dialog window popup decides that it wants to disappear to some netherworld as they pop up for a fraction of a second before falling into oblivion. This issue has caused me to lose lots of time recreating work that would not save due to this bug. This happens almost daily and without any prompting. Please fix this bug!

Multiple DXF conversions overwrite other artboards
On my iMac with OSX Mojave.
If I import 2 dxf files for conversion and leave their tabs available, the next to be imported overwrites the second tab placing the image on top of what is already there and then proceeds to open the 3rd tab with a blank Artboard.
In the attached screenshot, the overplayed image is with red lines, the original image on that tab is in black lines

Freeform gradient fill disappears after outline stroke
- Windows 10 Pro version 1809 OS build 17763.475 running Illustrator 23.0.3
- Make a shape. Fill it with a freeform gradient. Add a stroke. Use Object > Path > Outline Stroke.
- The stroke should be converted to a path and the fill should be untouched.
- When the stroke was converted to a path, the freeform gradient fill disappeared.
- The attached file is an animated gif I created to help a user on the forum who encountered the bug. https://forums.adobe.com/message/11077177#11077177

Illustrator 22.0.1 Crash on Startup when Signed In on Windows with a Microsoft account
Adobe Illustrator version 22.0.1 (x32-bit) crashes on startup on any user profile logged in with a Microsoft account.
It works fine on the PC across local user accounts, but as soon as the local account is converted to a profile linked to a Microsoft account, that's it. No more Illustrator.

persistent selection and precision issues...and Adobe doesn't seem to give a f*ck
I used to love Illustrator, now, I HATE it. Since the switch to CC, it's been problematic and buggy and nothing ever seems to get fixed. In fact, the entire program has gotten worse over time and it's obvious that Adobe doesn't give a **** about their customers.
The overall lack of precision and the issues with the selection tools are driving me insane. I have to repeat movements numerous times and/or have to zoom in hundreds or thousands of percent to do complete the simplest of tasks...like scaling or adjusting width/height. Illustrator rotates the shape instead, or randomly switches…

Mutiple profiles & Artboards
Illustrator Version: CC 2019 (23.0.3)
Mac: Mojave (10.14.2) 5k 27" 32gb RamFirstly there are 3 Film & Video profile dropdowns (1. Film & Video, 2. Film and Video, 3. Video and Film). Not sure why.
No matter what general preset I use or artboard size preset I choose I get 2 artboards.
1 artboard is the correct size and the other is basically the complete canvas area.
I am constantly having to delete the 2nd artboard.
Can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.
