Illustrator crashes when switching views in the Asset Export panel
Has this been reported yet? There's a really easy-to-reproduce crash bug in Adobe Illustrator involving the Asset Export panel that affects even the latest version (24.2) .
If the Asset Export panel contains more than two items and an item other than the first is currently being renamed and the view is attempted to be switched from Grid View to List View, the mouse cursor will begin to move really slowly for a few seconds and after that, Illustrator will crash. See the video attached for a demonstration.Some system info:

Unknown Error [PARM]
I was starting work and clicked on Adobe Illustrator for the first time today, it immediately gave me this error and I hadn't even opened a document as yet.
This is the first time this error has appeared for me and I do not know why.
I closed the program and restarted it, the error didn't reoccur.
I have a pretty new powerful PC (within a year old).
I have attached my PC specs for reference and all programs are up to date.
Thanks

New display issue with v 24.2
Illustrator doesn't display the proper/selected file. For example, if I have file A open, and I open file B, it will either show as blank or will display file A. When I detach file B from the tab bar, file B displays correctly. When I reattach file B to the tab bar it is either blank or displays file A again, even though file B (0r C or D, etc.) is selected.
These files all displayed and functioned properly before upgrading.
Attached are my basic computer specs.

Select same fill color does not take into account tints
When I select "same fill color" or "same appearance" it selects all items using that particular pantone regardless of whether I am using that pantone at 100% or a tint (ex 40%, 50%, 60%).
1 voteAs per the comment, Illustrator can be made into respecting tints with the 'Select Same Tint %' in Preferences > General

File opens with one color value & the values change when placed in a new document
Hi There, I am working in the latest release of AI on a MacBook Pro OS 10.15.4 (Catalina) and I am reporting a bug I've encountered.
To preface, I don't know the age of the original logo file. The artwork is a PMS chip value, saved in an RGB document.
To get the RGB value of the logo I opened the file and inspect the color. Since it was a PMS, I go to the RGB view either in the color panel or the selector in the tool bar & I see a specific value. (0/53/98) when I paste the…

Objects deselect on copy or paste (Illustrator 2019)
This is a bug, not an idea.
Sometimes when copying an object or pasting, the copied or pasted object does not remain selected.
This is far less than ideal, especially when using Paste in Front.
Happens in Illustrator 2019 / OSX Catalina

Illustrator is not exporting with the current file name
- Create a document
- Draw a rectangle (just for it to have something inside)
- Save it anywhere as '1.ai'
- Export a, say, TIF, with default settings (these don't really matter) — Ai will offer '1.tif' name for the file exported
- Save this document as '2.ai'
- Export another TIF — Ail will use '1.tif' name, although the file is now '2.ai' This is wrong. Ai should adapt the name from the file actual name and not the original one.

Scaling freeform gradient objects with real-time drawing/editing on.
When I have real-time drawing turned on, I can't select multiple objects that contain freeform gradients and scale them without losing the appearance of the objects. A single object works, more than one at a time will not. If I turn off real-time in preferences, this resolves the issue.
Mac os 10.14, Illustrator c 24.2
Please see videos for demo:

Artboard Missing
When I open the saved file, I find my artboards missing. The weird part is it saves my work. So every time I open the file I have to create new artboards for the layout I had done.
Attached Adobe Files consists of 2 layouts:
Page 1: Original Layout
Page 2: When I re-open the file. I find all the artboards missing except for a default artboard.Very frustrating to recreate the artboards every time.
Thanks

Keyboard increment setting bug
Illustrator 24.2.1
Mac OS 14.6 iMac Late 2015 27"Same problem exists as of 24.2.1: the default for Keyboard Increment does not stick properly when units are set to Picas. My existing default of 0p1 (1 point) has changed to 0p0.9996 (0.9996 point), and any attempt to change it to 0p1 while in Picas does not stick. However, if units are Points, it stays correctly at 1pt, but change the units to Picas, the value changes to 0p0.9996.
UPDATE: this happens in other places than the Prefernce for Keyboard Increment, and also happens whether the units are Picas or Points.…

Dotted Guidelines on Retina Displays too small, and option to move Guidleines to back needed!
I have a 27" Late 2015 iMac with a Retina display. I used to work with guidelines that were dots, but I've found that they are too small to see on a Retina display, so practically unusable, making me resort to using lines. However, if I move the same artwork window onto my second monitor (non-Retina), the dotted guidelines return to a reasonable size. If there was an option to increase the size of guideline dots as part of the UI preferences, that would be a great addition. Also: the ability to move guidelines to the back of the artwork…

Saving a piece in PSD format
Every time i try to export my file into a photoshop format, the 'writing photoshop file' bar doesn't move and illustrator crashes for a couple of minutes then "Photoshop file could not be saved' pops up and the piece doesn't export. Ive tried exporting at lower ppis but that doesn't see to help the issue. The only way I was able to get past it was exporting it as a flat image. Which is quite inconvenient. I didn't have this issue yesterday, when i exported a similar piece. I also re-tried exporting a piece that i was able to do…
