Just update to Catalina 10.15.7 and having lots of issues with Illustrator.
Just updated to Catalina 10.15.7 and having lots of issues with Illustrator. Initially it wouldn't open. Rebooted and it opened after several attempts. Now can't save a file, it just hangs at the 'Writing illustrator EPS format...' First only got to 3%, now 100% and can't get past that.

Unexpected fills when editing a pattern swatch
I manually created a pattern swatch and discovered I had an error. When I pull the pattern tile onto the artboard to edit I have fills where there were none. The motifs and lettering were created in Illustrator on iPad with the blob brush tool and then arranged into a repeating tile on the desktop -- most current CC release. I suspect the path orientation is reversed as when I try to remove the fill I still have a filled shape.

Illustrator remains on top at all times
I don't know if I've done something or there is a bug, but AI is stuck ontop as the front window and must be manually minimized. Selecting another programs from the task bar doesn't minimize or force AI to drop back. This is really hurting my work flow and driving me nuts.

Recolor artwork modal panel stays in place
The new recolor art modal panel doesn’t remember it’s previous position and always appears in the center of my window. Is this expected ?
If it could be non modal and docked in my custom
UI I would appreciate too.3 votes -

Export for screen file name not working
So, I am using Illustrator 25.0 on a Mac 10.15.7 and when I want to export artboards through export for screen menu, the output file only contains the artboard name. The file name is missing (as prefix).
The process is:
1. I create a document.
2. Draw a rectangle (or anything) in artboard named 'rectangle'.
3. Save it anywhere as 'test.ai'
4. Export the artboard using export for screen as a JPG, with default settings — Ai won't show any file name.
5. The exported file is named rectangle.jpg instead of test-rectangle.jpgIn older versions the exported artboard used to…

Objects stuck in RGB colour space in a CMYK document
I'm working on a print document in CMYK and reusing some elements from a file created in RGB. When I go to change the colour of the text for example in the new CMYK doc it refuses to let me change the object to CMYK.
For instance, I want the text to be 85% K but whenever I input these swatch values it automatically switches back to RBG (R77 G77 B79).
This has been happening in Illustrator on my desktop for months, it's something I run into almost daily even after updating the software.

Accessing onedrive files
We store all our art files on onedrive. I am unable to import or access illustrator files from our onedrive. Would love to be able to open, edit and re-save to make in the moment adjustments. Or am I doing something wrong?

BUG: Transform > Set Reference Point
The transform tool is not behaving as expected. Width and dimension transformations do not transform according to the selected reference point.
EXPECTED RESULT: when the reference point is set to
centre
, I expect the transformation to apply 50% of a change in the height or width value equally to both sides of the object.ACTUAL RESULT: The transformation behaves as it was set to
left
and applies 100% on the new value to the right side of the object.To see this bug in action, please watch the attached clip.

Illustrator 25.0.0 breaks metric units when working under custom created workspace
When I create custom workspace and want to make new object, and when I type dimensions in the dialog box, Illustrator breaks dimensions, e.g. 250 mm becomes 250.5 or 250.06 or 249.999 or else. This also happens when I open previously created documents with exact dimensions, e.g its dimensions become broken.
Note that this is happening only with custom workspaces created, and the problem persists even if I switch back to the default workspace. The only working solution is reinstalling Illustrator and working under any of the default workspaces, which is driving me nuts. Please fix it.

Layer colors changes on download from Creative Cloud
After downloading an illustrator cloud document to my desktop, the resulting file has the wrong layer colors. The colors appear to change to the default order; blue, red, green, etc.
We have our artwork on the second layer, which changes to red, and red is a terrible color for anchor points against artwork. Also, our translator uses color coded layers for different languages, and we really don't want to have to change them all back.
This bug appears to be the same as the bug that occurred when files prior to 24.0 were saved in 24.0 (before that bug was…

Fonts dropdown is not showing any fonts
My font dropdown is no longer displaying any fonts, I updated to the most recent version. While researching it looked like this was an issue a few years ago...did this issue come back again or is mine broken?

Not being able to grab smaller objects
I don't know exactly when this changed but I noticed how system has a much lower grabbable distance around things. I end up toggling a lot between the outline view ctrl+Y and selecting things that way which is not efficient.
we always have a lot of fills and effects, so when I try to grab things I'm always grabbing shadows that are so much larger than the line it came from so I have to use it a lot. This didnt use to happen before with older versions, can this be improved for future upgrades?1 vote -
Shortcut keys not shown or working for items in Objects menu and in other menus.
Many but not all shortcut keys are not shown in the Object menu or operate as in previous version! This is a major setback for my type of work. Can't quickly Group/Ungroup, Zoom, UNDO, Copy,Paste,stacking order, other functions. Browsing the menus shows only a few shortcut keys. Same in all workspaces. Please put them back as in the previous version!
