Ryzen 7
64GB Ram
RTX 3060Dimensions for objects in an artboard above 227 inches x 227 Inches gets divided by 10. So a square of 1000mm will show as 100mm when you pull out the dimension.

New bugs in 27.6: Illustrator does not open File from Explorer; Recent Files not refreshed; Wrong Taskbar Caption
I experienced different annoying bugs fresh after the update to Illustrator 27.6:
- Double Click on a file in the Windows Explorer lets Illustrator start. But Illustrator does not open the file. It stays idle only.
- I opened a file (by dragging it onto Illustrator) and saved it as a new file (same name, but different location). When restarting Illustrator and trying to open that NEW file from the recent files list, it opened the OLD file instead.
- The Windows Taskbar Caption of Illustrator is messed up (see attached image).I restarted the PC, uninstalled+reinstalled Illustrator 27.6, cleared…

clipping mask Bug/glitch
Hello.
I'm using illustrator CC (25.1) and MacOS 11.1.
When I use clipping mask, sometimes Illustrator shows a duplicate shape of that mask or shows what's inside the clipping mask (that should be hidden). When I scroll through the artboards, the clipping mask start to blink like a glitch effect.
If you look the at the attached files you can see at the top, a clipping mask with some brown shapes inside. When I scroll down, another rectangle shows up.
14 votesSo, this is not completed, and there is a newer report made here — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44436396
I am closing comments for this old report, but adding all those who voted here after the issue was erroneously marked as 'completed' as voters in the newer one.
I encourage every user who has this problem to go and vote, since it’s the only way to make this thing fixed. If you know someone who has the same problem — ask them to vote too.
Remember to provide your OS and GPU details, since the bug is a computer-specific one, because it happens only for some of us.

「中マド」を使用した際に謎の現象が起こる
１．英字フォント（私の場合futura）で「2021」と入力
２．黒い長方形を作成し、１の文字と重ねる
３．「中マド」で長方形を「2021」でくり抜く
４．塗りの部分を任意の色で着色（添付画像は黒）すると、「2021」の「1」の上の方に、謎の斜めの黒が表示されます。
これは触ることができず、また周囲のパスを動かしても消えません。1 voteこちらの問題ですが、最新版「ver.26.2.1」でも再現しませんでしたので、こちらは対応完了とさせていただきます。
もし、プレビューだけでなく出力も異常になるというような場合は、別途、レポートをお願いいたします。

Illustrator CC 2019 is very slow and laggy
I'm using a Mac OS 10.13 Intel Core i7 16 GB. Ever since I updated to the CC 2019, illustrator became laggy and slow. The other adobe apps worked fine after the update. I saw here that I should try turning the dictation off but that didn't help.
Everything in illustrator is slow now. And if I use the blend tool a lot in one document the eyedropper option in the gradient window becomes unavailable. Everything even if it's as simple as moving from one art board to the next or zooming in/out is lagging208 votesCompleted (Comments Closed) ·

Object > Align commands are disabled when single object is selected
Align commands we can assign hotkeys to, instead of using action-wrappers and F-only-keys are great.
But if you select a single object, the Object > Align command will be disabled (but the hotkeys assigned to separate commands will work anyway).
Please check what makes this folder disabled for a single object selected and fix it.2 votes -
Background Save works but it thinks it's not working!
Illustrator 2020 v24.0, MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
As I'm working on a .AI file, I periodically save, expecting the saving to complete in the background.
The save completes - I can tell that by looking at the file using QuickLook in the Finder, but...
Expected Result: I expect the asterisk to go away, and I expect to have no dialog when I click close.
Actual Result: The "I'm not a saved document" asterisk is still in the title bar, and if I click the close button, I get a "your document won't be saved" dialog.
I'm uploading a screenshot.

Color Settings Auto Defaulting
When you open up a file in the new Illustrator 2019 it automatically defaults your document to have "Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0". You can change your color settings to what you want, in my case I use "North American General Purpose 2". But when you click into a different application, ex. Internet, Photoshop, anything; your file changes your color setting back to "Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0". This is extremely frustrating and annoying. Please fix.

Negative alignment value using key object
In previous versions you would be able to assign a negative value when setting a distribute value using a key object.
When using this feature currently it reverts to a positive value. If you hold shift and click it will go to -1p0 but once you click up or down it changes to a positive. A clear bug.

Why was the Type tool and Pen tool combined?
Not sure what the reasoning if for put the Pen tool under the Type tool header icon in the toolbar? And why you moved the Remove/Add Anchor Point under the Select tool?
It maybe only seconds of lost time for the toolbar is now clunky and not intuitive.1 voteOccasional toolbox customizations got fixed in recent versions. Now you have to expand it to able to drag a tool into another tool group.

Rotate dialog box should have value highlighted by default, or be highlighted by Tab
When you press R then Return on the keyboard to pull up the Rotate dialog box, the value of the angle should be highlighted by default like it used to be.
Formerly when I wanted to rotate an object at a specific angle, like 122°, I would type R - <Return> - 122 - <Return>
Now to do the same thing I have to type R - <Return> - <Tab> - <Shift-Tab> - 122 - Return – a much more cumbersome keystroke combination.
At the very least, the first Tab should highlight the value, NOT the Preview checkbox.

Illustrator plays a <ding> sound when trying to move objects
I am attempting to move a vector object from one side to the next using my mouse. While selected, I attempt to move the object with my mouse and I am hearing a "ding" (as if there is a message pop up) and nothing. The object will not move (The layer is not locked), and there is no error message. The object will only move with the keyboard keys. Please help! I recently upgraded to CC2018.
