Recent file history missing on app launch
Since updating to the latest version, on starting Illustrator I just get the "start a new file fast" section but no recent file history icons.
Once I've opened and then closed a file the app returns to the home screen and then my recent history is showing but the Start A New File Fast bit has gone.
Once I close illustrator down and re-open it the history disappears again :(
Using Illustrator v24 via a Creative Cloud Suite account on Windows 10. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and re-installing. No change.

Mouse right-click Select next Object Below does not work
When I right-click with the mouse on an object and try to select next object below it does not work/does nothing.

CC 2020 AI and InDesign Crashing and Freezing
Having major issues with both Illustrator and InDesign 2020.
For Illustrator, if I double click an AI file in a finder window it crashes 100% of the time on launch, which in turn deletes all recent docs from AI's start up menu. Things are a bit more stable when launching the app and then opening a file, but still seems to easily crash when doing a simple task such as electing the font dropdown menu (not even selecting a font).
InDesign is more troublesome. The program will frequently freeze even after opening a document that has a link that has…

Preview pane no longer displays preview of .ai files v24
Since the update to v24, I've not been able to see a preview in my preview pane for .ai files when opening a document. This is extremely helpful and hope that it returns.

Extra Drop down Item
Win10 Pro 64-bit | AI 2020cc
Just pointing out the extra "Object" item on the Select drop-down (see attached). It does nothing and does not seem to be causing an issue.
Also, I've noticed that when saving a file, it takes much longer than the previous version.
Thanks

Installed Adobe Illustrator 2020 recently and all was working OK for about a week. Now, suddenly, am no longer able to save files as pdfs. When I try, it gives me an error; the file shows no thumbnail and says it's "missing all pdf content".

Watercolor Brush
3 Second+ Lag when using Basic Watercolor brush.
This is making some projects nearly unusable on the newest version. I don't know if the performance problems are similar for other brush types. But it brings Illustrator to a crawl on my workstation which should be overkill for running Illustrator.

BUG: Can't open one EPS file, but can another in Illustrator
I have downloaded an EPS file from my email to do some edits on from another design team and it comes up with the error message,
"The file 'Worldmark.eps' is an unknown format and cannot be opened."
However, I can open other EPS files from my email as well as from my external drive and hard drive.

SVGs: Objects with dashed lines are split up
Hello,
I create an object (rectangle) in the AI with a dashed line (8px / 8px). Contour 2px and grey filling.
If I save this object as *.svg and then open the saved SVG again, the path of the rectangle is fragmented.
This denomination always occurs just before the corners. In other words, a rectangle is divided into 4 paths and becomes a group...Version: AI 23.1
Windows 10 Enterprise
Intel Core i7-6820IQ 2.70 Ghz
16 GB RAM1 voteSorry for a late answer. Basically it happens because of 'Align dashes to corners' option that is turned on for the object in Stroke panel. When it's on, Illustrator internally treats this stoke exactly like you have in the SVG — a group of normal dashed lines with recalculated gaps and dashes, and custom inserts where it's required.
SVG just can't handles this, so to preserve the look it applies this treatment, converting it from the 'live' to 'expanded'.
Try to disable the option and comment back if it helps.

Unable to export asset
I am unable to collect and export an asset as I used to in the previous version of Illustrator. Please see the attached screen shot. I select the group in the layers panel, then I click on Object > Collect For Export > As Single Asset, then I choose 600dpi or 300dpi and I get the pop up error in the attached screenshot. Previously, I was able to do this successfully without issue.

Free transform tool is broken
When using the free transform tool to resize a text box, the transform isn't smooth, it jumps by huge amounts when dragging, and produces completely unpredictable results. After that, the outline of the text box disappears, but is still selected.

24 ver layer missing when opening in 23.1.1 version
Illustrator ver 24. error!!!
Saved a file in the new version with 2 layers, one layer went missing when I opened it in 23.1.1 version (the previous version). The same applies to PDF files.
Please advise as this is so important for our printing process.

Snap to Grid and Snap to Pixel interaction is unpredictable
If both Snap to Grid and Snap to Pixel are both enabled, drawing tools (like the Pen tool) will snap to a nearby pixel that the tool is hovering over.
I'd prefer if it defaulted to the Snap to Pixel function, so it'd snap to the center of the pixel, but that also might be confusing with Snap to Grid enabled.

Keyboard shortcuts missing in File New dialog
In the legacy File New dialog, there are keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate the settings, such as Alt+W for the Width input and Alt+L for Bleed. These are missing in the newer File New dialog.
Luckily, we can still use Illustrator's Preferences to revert back to the legacy dialog, but keyboard shortcuts still do need to be implemented on the new dialog.

A blank white popup window opens over a file when opening.
Closing the window gets it out of the way & I can continue. It only happens the first time I launch AI and then open a file.
I'm on a 2016 MacBook Pro running Catalina & Illustrator 24.0.
Screenshot attached.5 votesSpin dump created from Activity Monitor will help in our investigation. Please create a spin dump for Illustrator when this blank dialog is shown and send it to sharewithai@adobe.com with Illustrator version used.

Unticking "Use Artboards" when saving PDF does not work as expected
Illustrator 24.0
Expected result: A PDF file containing a single page of all the artwork in the document. Artboards should be completely ignored. Page size, cropbox, artbox, trimbox and bleedbox should all be equivalent to the total size of all the artwork in the document.
Actual result: PDF contains one page for each artboard, seemingly identical to what happens when "Use Artboards" is ticked.
