GPU bug?
Can't select and release objects in illustrator, seems like the mouse button is pressed throughout. issue ends once clicked on Finder and out of illustrator. Issue started a few weeks after upgrading to Mojave and the CUDA NVIDIA driver couldn't be updated anymore.
Using Illustrator 2015.3 (as this used to support my GPU animated preview)
Tried reinstalling a few times and problems still persist.
Working on XD now, can't use most older vector files made in illustrator, a simple act like copying a vector out to XD is IMPOSSIBLE.

Illustrator CC 2019 v23.0 Divide tool not working
I'm running on a iMac Pro (2017) Mojave OS 10.14 and using Illustrator CC 2019 v23.0. I've tried using the divide tool via the Pathfinder panel as well as the new Properties Panel and neither will work. Typically it would divide the two patterns top and bottom and now it just leaves the patterns as is without dividing. I also have used the guides to divide a pattern and that is not working either.

Path guides center edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler
Path guides center edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler in CC, in previous versions you could quickly line up a guide to the center of a box now you have to zoom out to see the center. Another feature that worked great in previous versions now lost.
1 voteGuides no longer disappear when dragged on canvas or from rulers. However they still do if you move guides together with non-guides objects. Happens in GPU Preview mode only.

Adobe illustrator does not display acute mark for cyrillic fonts
Illustrator does not display acute mark for cyrillic characters. I can copy and paste something like "коты́" from EditText or from web browser, but in illustrator document acute will not displayed no matter which font will be used.
This is very strange bug, because acute marks works in font selector preview (see screenshot)

Offset Path Won't Work
I am using Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 and can't get negative offset path values to work. I am trying to create an offset path in the negatives in text that I have created outlines on. When I do positive numbers, the offset path gets bigger (as it should) When I do negative offset values, the object is duplicated but at the exact same size. I have tried using the offset path tool from both the 'object' and 'effect' tabs and neither is giving me results. I have also tried negative values ranging from -1 to -16,000... there is no change.
14 votesHi Everyone,
Can you please provide a screenshot or step-by-step details of what you are trying to do. I ask because it’s working fine for me (see attached screenshot; it’s quite possible that I misinterpreted what you are trying to achieve). Could it be that the negative offset you are applying is greater than the size of the object. In that case, it won’t work. Otherwise it should.

Changed placed item outside of illustrator does not mark the AI Document as changed...
If I have an illustrator document open that has a linked placed item within it, and the document has just been save, and I modify and save the placed item outside of illustrator - AI prompts me that the item has changed and asks if I was to update the placed artwork. If I select YES, the artwork is updated but the AI document is not internally marked as changed - e.g. I can close the file and it will not prompt me to save.

Guides disappear until file is reopened
I've created an isometric grid for illustration and converted the grid lines to guides. When I leave my document open for a while (maybe an hour or more) and come back to it after a lull in activity, my guides seem to be gone. The "Guides" item in the "View" menu is grayed out, and the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+; to toggle guides on and off does not work. Nothing is hidden or locked in my document. Closing and reopening the document immediately fixes the issue, with guides toggling on off when prompted. There's clearly a bug here, figured I should…

Toolbar panel won't stay long & skinny when docked
The toolbar panel on the left, when docked to the left side of the screen, will not stay long & skinny (after pressing the double arrow) when I close and reopen Illustrator. It always goes back to short & fat. If I undock it, Illustrator remembers the orientation just fine. This happens even when I save a new workspace.

Currently selected artboard not automatically highlighted as per normal
Running Mac 10.13.6 and AI 22.1
In all previous versions of Illustrator the artboard you are currently on remains highlighted so you know which on you are on.
In this version, the artboard is only highlighted while working in it. If I click into a menu item (say 'Object') then the highlighted artboard disappears and I no longer know which one I am on. Clicking on the blank artboard, which usually highlights that clicked on artboard, doesn't work. The only work around is to click onto another artboard and then back to the first. I've had this issue maybe 6…

Select Tool does NOT select! Color swatches don't change item colors!!
There's no idea. You guys are making every day more difficult every time you ***** up a new version. Us poor idiots that work every day with your programs are going crazy keeping up with the changes that don't work, the ideas that benefit some but not all and all the malfunctioning things you've managed to do with the old tools that worked just fine. You're making me hate this profession of graphic designer and you're making me loose money and time every day. Why don't you just fire your engineers and leave us alone?
