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.

SVG Exports Incorrectly - messes up art work
I have drawn a simple oval that exports correctly.
I then made 20 copies, and it exports as SVG correctly.
I then made 20 more copies (so I have 40 of these oval shapes) in two columns side-by-side. The first column exports correctly, the second column some of the ovals are longer, some are shorter and the horizonal position shifts back and forth.Used the Export Selection command. Have tried all different SVG parameters, have tried switching the columns, nothing has worked.

MAC: System has run out of memory and force quits - Activity Monitor shows > 100GB
After launching Illustrator it will force quit with an error message "your system has run out of application memory." I have 8GB of memory and no other applications are open or running when I launch Illustrator. I am noticing in the activity monitor that illustrator is using a large amount of memory, extremely higher that usual. This started happening a few days ago and I have no changes to my OS or updates to Illustrator CC

Bounding Box, Resizing typography, moving typography all defective
Here are a list of current issues I'm experiencing in Illustrator:
– Bounding box keeps disappearing and reappearing. I'm aware of the different methods of getting it back, they don't
– Moved elements disappear from view, with a bounding box appearing in the area you moved it from but with nothing in it
– Editing typography doesn't always work, I.E. I resize one block of typography, but for some reason, it adjusts a previously selected block; this is happening when adjusting tracking or size
– Editing typography also sometimes has no effect on the typography. Changing the size or tracking…1 vote -

Video Rulers not correct (and useless ;-)
While I don't really need the Video Rulers , they do not seem to work well. (Rulers are a quite skeuomorphic tool anyway, since with Ai we can place everything numerically)
The horizontal axis does not reflect the horizontal pixelnumbers, illustrated in the screenshot, where a 1920 wide artboard is shown to have 1440 pixels in the width by the ruler. Maybe due to some non square pixel setting. Confusing and unneeded?

Anchor Points Malfunctioning
I regret to report that, after updating to Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and upgrading my OS Mojave, the anchor points have become rather fickle, especially with the Direct Selection tool. The shape will look the same once drawn with the Pen Tool, and the anchor points will still be there, but they are invisible. They can still be tampered with, but after releasing the mouse they will disappear. The same issue applies to the rectangular grid tool. Anchor points can be edited and seen with the curvature tool; that is about the only way to do so without the anchor…

Getting odd artifacting when using GPU preview on illustrator
Shapes look as if they arent inline with each other when using GPU preview, CPU preview fixes the issue but of course I shouldnt have to be running it on CPU preview. The jaggies seem to stem from where there are anchor points, but not every anchor point.
Using Intel i5 6500 CPU with an RX480 8gb GPU

"Apply gradient across stroke" shows terrible banding compared to a standard linear gradient
When applying a gradient to a stroke with the "apply gradient across stroke" option selected, the resulting gradient is very poor quality, with lots of visible banding.
In the attached image the top gradient is formed by feathering a rectangle with corner radius of 31.235 px by 20px. The quality is fine, although feathering makes specifying specific colours a hassle.
The middle object is the same rectangle with a 40pt stroke, with a white-to-black gradient applied with "apply gradient across stroke" selected. The gradient is very uneven, showing clear banding.
The bottom is a the same linear gradient applied as…

Cant see entire font list in gyphs tab?
When I open a New Document and want to view glyphs font list with Entire Fonts selected the lower drop-down doesn't change?! The only way I can get it working is by selecting one of the Adobe templates then go to Gylphs tab and then the font drop-down menu works. Odd, then after that all of my new documents work in the Gylphs tab that didn't work previously?! Once I close Illustrator I'm back to square one again. I have exactly the same set up as 2 colleagues I work with and theirs work from the off.

Missing panels - restarting Illustrator brings them back
On more than one Mac we have an issue in Illustrator 23.0.1 where some of the panels disappear and we can't get them back without quitting Illustrator and reloading it. Resetting the workspace doesn't work and neither does choosing one of the missing panels from the Windows menu.
I did also have this on InDesign CC2018 but that has since been fixed in 2019.

Illustrator crashes and causes computer to restart.
While using Adobe Illustrator, after updating, it has been crashing and causing my computer to shut down after sometimes only a few minutes up to a few hours of use.
I have used InDesign and Photoshop just as much (as well as Chrome and many other applications) and I don't have any issues with crashing or shutting down. Only when Illustrator is running.Attached are my PC specifications.

Undo command and Hide
Undo command ignores whether or not objects are hidden. Rather, Undo command does not undo hide/unhide, so hidden objects are moved or modified, depending on what is being undone, while hidden.

Illustrator CC 2019 won't embed fonts in PDFs
I'm trying to save my Illustrator file as a pdf but it's not saving (embedding) the fonts along with the pdf when I do so. However, if I open that same file in Illustrator CC 2018 or 2017 I can save out a pdf with the fonts embedded just fine.
Note: this happens whether or not I get the message "The preset specifies that some of the fonts are not embedded. This application always embeds fonts." in the Summary section of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box.
I'm using Illustrator CC 2019 on a Mac Pro running MacOS 10.13.6.
