Stroke not updated when using arrow keys
An object's stroke is not updated when using the arrow keys to increase or decrease stroke size. Then selecting another object without pressing enter or removing focus from the input box applies the stroke to the new selection.
Steps:
1. Create 2 shapes
2. Select first shape
3. Adjust stroke with arrow keys in the properties panel - shape on artboard doesn't update
4. Select second shape - stroke that was supposed to be applied to first shape is applied to second shapeUsing Illustrator 23.0 (Windows)

SVGs not aligning properly unless title layer is deleted.
When I import an image in SVG format the alignment tools do not work properly to align the image with other elements on the artboard. I've found a work around for this, deleting the "title" layer of the SVG in the layers panel seems to allow it to work properly. There is no graphic information in the title layer as far as I'm aware so why does it affect how the alignment tools work? Also with the title layer still present clicking align moves it every time it's clicked rather than just once, how it usually behaves. I've attached a…

Freezing issue
Since the 23.0 version Illustrator keeps freezing regularly, up to 3 times in a day's usage. There is no actual pattern that i can point to, just that it keeps doing it at certain time intervals and with certain signs sometimes (like the menus not showing), which are also irregular and i have to use Task Manager to close it and open it again.

Delay when opening/placing/looking for files.
illustrator and indesign and photoshop all had little or no delay when 'exiting' the software to find/open/place/import a file. Now there's significant seconds added whenever I do anything, even selecting fonts causes seconds of delay when they used to show up instantaneously. just started Monday with Mojave 10.14.1 update

Text edits have no undo, do not trigger file as updated
When editing a block of text. Back delete key does not work and forward delete key deletes from start of block instead of cursor/insertion point. Text has to be highlighted to be deleted. Undo for deleted text is unavailable. Document does not indicate any changes and can be closed without a save dialog and thus losing edits.

Interacting with properties panel can make app require force close
MacOS 10.14.1
Illustrator 23.0.1Clicking on options in the 'Properties' palette, then clicking outside the resulting dialog can make the app become mostly unusable:
- Menus are greyed out
- any menu function can't be done, including save and quit
1 voteHi David,
This happens, when you open some menu while a panel pop-up is still open. Since you had the fill popup open from properties panel, when you clicked on menu, so its grayed out.
You need to close the popup first to open the menu. -
Illustrator groups unintended objects, you can't ungroup unless you click on a certain object.
I've had this issue for years with various versions of Illustrator. Occasionally when grouping and ungrouping objects Illustrator will get stuck on a grouped object and then subsequently clicked objects with that object.
It's annoying because it creates unwanted group handles for the subsequent object you want to click or transform.
Over the years I've found that the only way to "ungroup" the unwanted group is trying to find and select one of the objects that is "causing" the unwanted grouping for lack of a better explanation.
Again, this is not a new bug. It's something that I've been dealing…

Default Template Folder
Version 23.0 no longer opens template files from the default "Cool Extras" folder. Instead it navigates to the last folder saved. Please revert this back as it is a huge waste of time creating new documents now.
This also occurs for scripts, but I use less frequently and have dealt with it. Unacceptable for template files however.

Linked image used in opacity mask not compressing
I believe this is a new issue with a recent update. I've never had this issue before.
The attached pdf file should be renamed to an ai file. For some reason I am not allowed to attach an ai file. That doesn't make sense to me as this is a bug report platform for ai.
If I create a document that has a linked image used in an opacity mask, illustrator is not compressing the image when I save it. I'm seeing a file end up being, for example, around 8MB when it should be around 600KB. I am downsampling…

Artboard Not Visible when in a Tab
Mac Pro 2015 with OSX Mojave
When opening a PDF the file naturally attaches itself to a new tab on the illustrator workspace but the entire artboard is missing. Only when you pull the tab free to make an individual window are you then able to see the illustration contents.
