Illustrator will not open a second file from Bridge, or In Design (edit original)
ex. Starting with both Illustrator and Bridge closed. 1. I open Bridge. 2. I double-click an Illustrator file, it opens fine. 3. I go back to Bridge and double-click another illustrator file, and Illustrator will not open it. This file should open as a new file (tab) within Illustrator.
This happens with "Edit in Original" from In Design also. It works the first time, (opens up Illustrator), but not a second time. I have to close Illustrator for this interoperability to work.2 votes -

text handling still a mess in 22.1
Text handling in the 22.1 build - meaning the interactions between the Paragraph, Character, Paragraph Styles, and Character Styles panels - is still fraught with bugs and/or undesired oddity compared to previous versions. (2015.3 being the last completely -- or mostly -- working version.)
Open Illustrator 22.1 (Windows) and create a new blank document.
Draw a text box and fill it with placeholder text.
Create a new paragraph style (‘body text’) and set the font, size, and leading to something different from the default. (e.g. font: 10pt Avenir LT Std Book, 16pt leading).
PROBLEM 1: Select a word or words…

Gradient tool slider bug
When I select a shape, or multiple shapes and add a gradient, ever since updating to CC 2019, I do not get an adjustment slider in the shape. Am I doing it wrong? Where did the slider go? Help!

Selecting pen lines (vectors) & anchor points is really hard after updating to newest version of CC 2019.
I recently updated my OS to Sierra & with that my CC updated to 2019 23.0.2. Ever since, it takes several tries to select a line or an anchor point using the direct select or group select tool & to remove points using the Add/delete anchor tools. The scissors tool also can't seem to find the line to create a point either. It is extremely frustrating & slows down drawing a lot! It seems like the lines/points that we are looking at, are not in the same place code-wise maybe? Something is not lining up. PLEASE fix quickly!

The home screen in my Adobe Illustrator is 'zoomed-in' and it's not the same size as other Adobe apps. I've attached a screen shot of Illustrator vs photoshop.

Mobile Adobe Draw open in Desktop App (AI) does not work
Opening in Adobe Desktop Apps does not work in iOS Adobe Draw. There is the option to save as a PSD in cloud files, but NOT to save as an AI. Highly disappointing for tablet integration.
Also, two finger gestures are slow and interpret commands poorly.

New update (23.0.1) shows Home screen instead of my actual file until I press F
Most of the times, when I open an AI file I can't see my actual artboard until I press F (Toggle Screen Mode). Once I switch the screen mode it shows a weird red color in the artboard (too fast to capture).
3 votesHi,
Sorry to hear that you are facing this issue. We have fixed similar issue in 23.0.3,
Can you please upgrade to 23.0.3 and let us know if your problem is resolved or not? -
Layers Panel Glitch
After upgrading to Mojave OS on a mac the layers panel glitches or flashes each time I click / draw on an art board or area outside an art board.
It also happens when I manipulate the layers panel in any way, toggling visibility, opening or closing layer groups or any other operation.
This flashing is irritating and takes my eye from the work.

Multiple crashes daily
The current version of Illustrator is absolutely useless. Does Adobe bother testing their own product for bugs? I experience multiple crashes daily at my job, when all I have open is one file. Something as simple as deleting a square will crash the program. It's infuriating.
2 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience and disappointment the issue has caused. We do test our products thoroughly including running it through multiple beta testers and we really regret that this issue slipped past our quality checks. We need your help to build this feature right. We have a few open questions that we would like to discuss with you please join us on our pre-release program using this link : https://adobe.ly/1o2SDsg

Extra large font in top menus - can't fix
I can't modify the size of the font in Illustrator's top bar menus. When I click on a top menu item (File/Edit/Object/Type, etc) the font displayed in them is extra large, and I can't change it in Settings. Even when I select "Reset Essentials Classic", nothing happens. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Stop showing the "billing error" screen on launch
Every time I launch Adobe I get a "billing error" screen that tells me to "please update [my] billing information to avoid losing access to Illustrator CC."
My account is paid for until June 22. That's 247 days from now. I shouldn't be harassed like this until MAYBE the last couple weeks of my membership.
Please fix this.

Smart Guides - Center point not usable
When Smart Guides are enabled, the Center point of an object is shown, when hovered over the edges of the object, but it disappears (and doesn't snap) when trying to hover over the Center point itself.

Selection tool automatically nudging object when clicked.
When (v) or (a) are used and a vector line or object are clicked on with the mouse, the object automatically jumps/nudges right. Multiple clicks produces multiple jumps/nudges.
The problem will stop for a period of time after reboot but begins again.1 vote -
Template files (.ait) use/show the Adobe Swach Exchange (.ase) icon in Windows Explorer
It's pretty much what the title says, .ait files show up in Explorer with the .ase icon. Everything works as expected though, double clicking it will open a new file in Illustrator, so this is purely a cosmetic issue.

Pattern Tile Seam lines
Can we please find a way to fix those tiny 0.5 px seam lines we ALL have had to deal with for years? The ones that you see when you zoom in or out at certain levels? The ones that don't apparently print? However, they for sure show up when importing patterns into Photoshop, so they aren't just imaginary. When building a Photoshop pattern that begins as a vector pattern, it becomes a nightmare having to meticulously clone them out. Please fix this if at all possible!
