Deleting Effect Causes Crash
Any time I try to delete an effect from an object, illustrator crashes.
10 votesPlease tell more.
Does it still happen for you in the latest build?
Does it happen when you use Properties?
Does it happen when you use the dedicated Appearance panel?
Is it only Drop Shadow or any effect is a problem?

Zoom on drag, not after
Zooming involves pressing the command key and the space bar, and then clicking and dragging the mouse. The speed and duration of the drag is replicated in the zoom on screen. Or so it used to be.
All of a sudden now, when I click, instead it draws a box, the contents of which then fill my monitor — but only when I release it.
It used to zoom in on the mouse drag - but now it waits until I’ve completed the box. How do I toggle back to the previous settings?1 voteThe 'marquee' way of zooming is the way it worked before GPU rendering was introduced.
So it works only in GPU mode — check it you have enabled in View > GPU Preview.
Plus you should check if Animated Zoom option is enabled in Preferences > Performance section.

Align Object Buttons missing from Touch Bar
I have a 2016 Macbook pro with a Touch Bar and with this last update of illustrator the align buttons aren't showing up on the Touch Bar when I click on the align icon. "Align to" is showing up but none of the actual align buttons. I used these buttons all of the time and it really speeds up my workflow.

Illustrator 25 super slow save & crash on deleting FX
It's taking a long amount of time to save even a small file.
Everytime I try to delete an effect (so far any I have tried from the effects menu), the program crashes.
Illustrator lags/freezes between each operation.

AI files opening as old versions
Illustrator is intermittently not properly saving my files and is opening old versions of the AI file.
This is my workflow:
Create design and save AI file. Save PDF file and send to client. Receive amends, open AI file and amend + save. Save PDF file and send to client.
Repeat until the design is approved.
At this point I open the AI file and prepare the print files for production.
However, the AI file is opening as an older version and does not have the latest amends saved. This is costing us £100s in incorrectly manufactured items.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Quick Preview on Mac is not Working
On Mac with the new Big Sur update, my Illustrator files show up as just the Illustrator logo and it does not preview any artboards.
Also, when pressing the spacebar, a wheel starts turning, then just the logo pops up. There is no file preview it seems after the Big Sur update.

Page selection when opening a PDF
This is should be beyond trivial to correct, and there are users all over the place asking for this in a different issue report:
Please fix the UI for page-selection when opening a PDF in Illustrator!
Browsing through the thumbnails at the top of the dialog should automatically select that page to open below. It is bad UX to scroll through the pages to find the one that you want and then have to manually enter it below---I can't think of a single reason to have these UI elements disconnected (as they presently are), and there's no reason not to…3 votes -
Live text with customs appearance glitches when on top of a locked image
Using Appearance, modified text (fill with outline in this case) gets buggy when modified on top of a locked image.
I have been able to re-create this issue on my end at least.

Lag on every move I make!!
Moving an object. Changing the tool. Changing a colour. Everything move I make in illustrator brings up the colour wheel of death. Just moved from CS6 to CC, worst move ever.

EPS links are slow
For some reason, as long as it is an EPS file that needs to be placed or relinked to the image, it will be very slow.

Rotate and Scale Tool sometimes affects all points on a path instead of just selected points
In previous versions of Illustrator (before 2021), if you had individual anchor points selected and you used the rotate tool, it would rotate all selected points and leave unselected points stationary. This was useful for quickly editing only part of a path.
Now, in 2021, sometimes the rotate or scale tool rotates all the points, regardless if they were unselected.
Note that in my recording, the skirt's anchor points work as expected. But the sandal's points transform the whole group of objects.

can't highlight width and height cells or file name when creating a new document
Why did you take away the ability to easily highlight the document name, width or height when creating a new file? Super irritating.
