Legacy shape-drawing functionality is missing
I do not want "smart" shapes by default. My biggest gripe is that one cannot easily draw shapes in rapid succession. For example, if I draw a circle and immediately want to draw another, say, centered around the anchor point of the previous, I have to CMD+SHIFT+A to deselect the previous shape. Otherwise the shape tool is no longer a shape tool but a TRANSFORM tool.
1 voteYou can switch off the bounding box and smart widgets by pressing shortcut Cmd + Shift + B and can use the drawing tools as legacy tools.
You can also select View→Hide bounding box for the same.For reverting back to current state again press the same shortcut or select View → Show bounding box
Hope this would help achieving your workflow.

Hi,
This problem has persisted for a long time. On the image I have attached you can see that there is a vertical white line to left of the red square. When exporting the white line is still there – the only way to avoid it is to have the graphics stretched beyond the artboard before exporting.
Why has this never been fixed??

update
Come on now! I am in AI and open a file to work on when a popup appears telling me that a new version of AI is available. However, when the update 'button' is selected nothing happens! There used to be a check for updates under Help yet that does not exist anymore. When it did exist it worked. So what is gong on now? More frustration with AI!

Illustrator v23.0.1 will not open files from the desktop action. Must open via Open Menu.
I'm having a minor problem opening AI files from the desktop with this new version. It won't show the document, and only shows the launch screen, and there I see the icon for my document, but even when clicking on that it won't load. I have to quit AI, relaunch and from there open my document via Illustrator's Open menu.

PDF export no longer represents brushes used correctly
I have used some vector brushes in illustrato (see highlights). When file saved as a pdf the brushes no longer correctly represent what's in the file, they seem to lose a lot of their transparency. I sell the mentioned brushes on exchange (HighlightsandShadows Brushes) as well so I would like this fixed. Both viewing the pdf file and opening in ai show the wrong results.
This problem has occurred since upgrading both mac os and illustrator to latestHowever if i open the ai file in shop it looks as it should.

Right click on layers + Layer group shortcut don't work
Both me and my colleagues have that Illustrator is NON-RESPONSIVE every few days when it comes to shortcut keys and other UI related controls, like right clicking layers. Try and group a few layers when you can't use shortcuts or right click 'm.
Today I've spent the better part of the day trying to fix this, since it makes work near impossible.
I've restarted app, restarted PC, restarted app without prefs, updated app, restarted app and PC again, deleted prefs file (rename to OLD) and what not.
I expected it wouldn't last the entire day.

Possible Bug - Crop Image Auto Resizing Crop Box in New CC Illustrator 2019
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just a poorly executed new feature, but in the new Illustrator CC 2019 when you have a raster image in the file and you go to "Crop Image" the crop marquee automatically changes to a random size and shape instead of remaining at the edges of the image. I'm not sure if there is some hidden feature where it is trying to automatically detect where you might crop the image to by detecting the image edges, but this is super annoying when you are trying to do something like just adjusting…
2 votesYou are referring to the content aware crop feature: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html#ContentAwareCrop
To turn this feature off please visit the Preference dialog (CMD+K) and turn off “Enable Content Aware defaults”
If I may suggest a workflow for you.
1. Use linked images, they not only are fast but also save disk space.
2. If you already have embedded images in your file, please use the unembed feature of Illustrator to export and link files automatically for you.
3. All linked images have this feature of Edit Original where you can edit images in a software of your choice like Photoshop.
4. If you have to share files to other users please make use of File menu>Package feature to collect everything including linked images and fonts in one directory. -
Image won't move.
I am trying to move an image, but when I do it it opens up the multiselection tool.

New update is distorting character text
I'm running Mac Mojave 10.14.1, and downloaded the latest CC 2019 update. I have used a paid for monogram font in illustrator for over 5 years with no issues until this recent download. Now there are distortions in several areas... Is there a fix for this??

Randomly deletes recent changes.
Latest version is extremely buggy. Randomly jumps back two steps in the undo queue, erasing entirely all work. Redo does not work.

Uniting shapes has unexpected result
Came across a weird file/result that co-workers were able to replicate.
1) Mojave 10.14.1 and Illustrator 23.0.1
2) Selecting two shapes/pathfinder window/unite
3) Letter p remaining knocked out
4) Letter p featuring a slash across the top
5) I've attached the file before uniting with pathfinderI was able to workaround by simply not uniting but thought ya'll might be interested. Thanks!
