type/color changes having difficulty taking
v.22.0.1 64-bit on win 10
never had these issues before today, but basically some changes are selectively not taking, are reverting back to previous. 2 examples:changed type font from Clyburn to Hummingbird (from Tk), change takes, saved work, then went to move type and reverts to Clyburn. so copied layer with Hummingbird, locked it, hid it, then made change, still switched back. closed/rebooted Illustrator, was back in Clyburn. however, made change and it finally took, however could not change between Hummingbird Regular and Bold.
working with ellipses in a logo in CMYK. placed ellipse with gradient stroke. copied layer,…

When I try to save a file, I am told my file is a "read only" copy
I use Illustrator version 20.0.0 (2015.3)
I have not experienced this problem until very recently.
After I have saved a file, when I make changes to it that I want to save, I am told I cannot, as it is a read-only copy.
I have already checked the properties of my file, and it is NOT "read-only."

DrawArt Suite issue on OS 10.13 and CC 2018
I'm using the AIDrawArtSuite to render objects in my plug-in.
This function works fine on windows and os x for CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2017 and CC 2018 except for macOS 10.13
On my macbook pro 2014 with a nvidia card and OS 10.13.2, the result is not correct.
If I'm disabling the GPU performance, the result is now correct.1 voteHi,

Realign Canvas function blurs artwork
When using the function to realign/sort canvases — including the embedded artwork — the artwork is placed on subpixels, although it was pixel perfect before. This bug appears in the pixel-preview mode, no matter when on CPU or GPU mode.

Rotating Guides
After rotating a guide with any angle thats not a 90 degree one. Illistrator will not allow me to either rotate it again or move the angle guide. This feature does not work when zoomed in at at least 902% or higher. However, when I zoom out to at least 901% or small, it works normally again. This makes work a lot more time consuming constantly zooming in and zooming back out again.

Vectors and Paintstrokes Destroyed by Opening in AI CC
Files on Adobe Illustrator CS5 when opened in AI CC are totally distorted and altered. The live paint feature was eliminated from AI CC and so I assume this is why my lines are interpreted as choppy and broken even though they are coded as vectors is CS5. My paint strokes also have distortions and artifacts in them, making the piece unrecognizable from its former iteration and requiring hours of work in hopes of fixing it. The inability for simply being able to maintain old works from earlier versions of illustrator is a mind blowing oversight. AI CC is not…

Inconsistent dot/comma stroke pulldown menus
just noticed something strange in the pulldown menu of the new Properties panel. The values for thickness are marked with a dot for decimals, while all the other panels use a comma.
In the picture you can see the pull down showing values with ".xx pt" while the stroke has a thickness of ",xx pt" (obtained through the Strokes panel)
This causes the 0.5pt selection in the Properties menu to make strokes with a 5 pt thickness, and NOT 0.5 pt.
(When I select the thickness through the regular Strokes panel it says 0,5 pt and ends up with 0,5…4 votes -
Expanding strokes lose ability to scale equally
After expanding a stroke, when I shift + transform and scale, it does not scale equally on all sides.

Select > Same > (Fill, Stroke, etc.) no longer working in charts
Adobe CC2018
When using the direct selection tool to select a single element of a chart or graph, Illustrator no longer responds to the Select > Same > ... commands. This is a feature we rely upon for everyday capabilities when styling charts. When I try the command, it does not select anything within the chart. If I ungroup the chart, or use the Select > Same > (options) with other Illustrator shapes, it works as normal. The problem surfaced immediately after I upgraded from CC2017 to CC2018.19 votesWe have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 22.1.
Please refer to our knowledge base FAQ – https://illustrator.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1844590 if you face difficulty in update.

Find Font broken between OSX and Windows
Find Font is broken.
For a missing font it requests a different font for OSX and Windows for the same file. It has something to do with the family name or font name or something. The important thing is that it is inconsistent between OS and is impossible to determine the correct font due to this error. This is confirmed to be effecting many people.
Here is a link to a detailed explanation of what is going on with pictures showing the differences between operating systems.

Can't save preview - error notice |
after simply saving an illustration
i get this error.
It seems i get it across both my systems
uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator (AiCC18)
i still get it...
seems to not affect the files them selves...(all seems well)
Just seems to be a bit anoying...kai
†6 votesThe issue seems to be file corruption, our support should be able to recover some of the information when you contact them. A file normally corrupts when the disk is not available during file wrote or when Illustrator crashes. We also do not support network drives which is prone to file corruption when writing large files.

Files Breaking on Save after creating Saved Swatch Library
Illustrator v22.0.1: We use art tiles to create repeat prints for textile printing. There is a bug that cause my original .eps files to become garbled after I have used that .eps file to create a saved swatch library. STEP1.png shows the original art file and its save options. STEP2.png shows creating a pattern from the art and its associated settings. STEP3.png shows saving the swatch library (I removed all of the standard Illustrator swatches as they are unnecessary for the custom swatch library). After saving the swatch library, I save and close the original art file. STEP4 shows what…

Adding a workspace crashes Illustrator
Illlustrator CC 2018 - build 22.01
Document with 5 A4 workspaces side by side, adding a new A4 workspace makes Illustrator crash immediately. No saving, no warning no nothing ...
The only way I can find is making a new dociument with the number of pages you need and copy the artwork. Good luck if you have several layers, and you have to redo everything if you need one more page.1 vote -
PDF size is extremely large
Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 version
When I save a file as PDF or even the original Ai. format the file becomes extremely large. This started to occurred after the latest update. The file contains 2 small artboards with a little bit of text (not much) and a few small icons, its 43 MB! it should be 10 MB or less.
The same happens when saving as PDF with (Illustrator default settings) File is TOO big, even if I change the settings of the PDF, it might drop to 15 MB.
