"Save As" dialog box not focused
OSX Catalina 10.15; Illustrator 24.0.1 with Creative Cloud 5.0.0.354
Safari, Mail, and Notes open in backgroundSometimes after using CMD+SHIFT+S to open Save As dialog, the dialog box will not be focused; filename will not be highlighted; TAB will not cycle through input fields; ESC will not close dialog box. Clicking somewhere on the box is the only way I've found to make it responsive as normal. After doing so, I can close the dialog with ESC; re-entering the keyboard shortcut afterwards tends to result in expected behavior, but sometimes the problem repeats. The keyboard shortcut should immediately open the…

Spot color names are incorrect in other applications
I'm using Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) on macOS Mojave (10.14.6) in Japanese.
Opened an Illustrator 2020 file containing spot colors with Japanese names in Acrobat or place it to InDesign, the names are not as expected.
I can use English names for the new ones, but changing InDesign ink settings in all existing files can be difficult.

Issues while in 3D Revolve. In the Ai 24.0.1 - MAC OS 10.13.6
While in 3D Revolve, I am trying to apply a created Symbol onto a half circle with a gradient. Within the dialog box, there is a message that says "the gradient will be rastorized", which changes my gradient from "red to black gradient" to a "balck and white gradient". That changes my whole effect.

Objects sliding when switching between outline and preview
Most of the times I'm working with quite simple graphics (preparing already existing logos and graphics for printing).
Sometimes when switching from preview to outline view, and back, I notice that some objects aren't where they are supposed to be. In outline view they are at their supposed position, but in preview they are somewhere else. It isn't a big problem when I notice it happening - the problem is when I don't and print it like that. When I notice it, moving the object, pressing unite, or several other actions will make the object pop back to their right…

Part of text disappears when printing upside-down
I am printing a piece of art with text. When rotating the document upside down in the print dialogue window, the printed version lacks letters. It looks like only the first letter gets printed. This is not a printer issue either, tested printing from PDF and it worked fine.
See attached for the example. The right half is how it should be, left half is what comes out - small "B" is missing.1 vote -
Crashing every 10 minutes or less
Hello,
I am currently doing a piece of art on illustrator and it keeps crashing every 10 minutes or sometimes less. Something that should take me an hour or less is now taking me currently 3 hours and I'm not even half way through because it keeps crashing and it's frustrating that I pay so much for something and I can't even do what I want because it doesn't want to work or allow me to do work. It's even more frustrating having to stop and save every minute or so when this all can be prevented.
I hope there…

Illustrator Not Holding Clipping Masks
Hello. I'm not sure if this is just an "operator error" or if this is a bug in the new Illustrator 2020, but every time I reopen my AI file the clipping masks have been removed. Is there a fix for this? It started happening when I updated to 2020.
Thanks in advance!
