Changing/removing "View using GPU/CPU" does not take effect.
I use the command + e shortcut for another function, but no matter how many times i remove or change this shortcut from "View using GPU/CPU" it immediately reverts back.
1 voteIt got resolved by assigning the new shortcut for 'View using GPU/CPU' / removing the old. Can be treated as a solution, but it’s still unclear how Illustrator allowed two identical hotkeys exist at the same time (usually a warning gets displayed, and the older command gets blanked). So if anyone has the same problem — please comment.

RGB black from Indesign translates to CMYK black in Illustrator upon Copy + Paste
This is a bug and not an idea:
What I copy RGB black (0,0,0) vector artwork from Indesign to paste into Illustrator, the artwork always pastes in with a value equivalent to CMYK black (0,0,0,100). The copy/pasting is happening from one RGB document to another ("Web" document in Indesign / "RGB" document setup in Illustrator).
Please fix!

Illustrator 2020 v24.1.1 - "Real-Time Drawing and Editing" can't save new symbol
I tested the new Real-Time Drawing and Editing feature today and found that once I finished my drawing, dragging it over to the Symbols pane to create a new symbol as I normally would resulted in the attached error.
This was the first bit of work I had done since enabling this new feature so I suspected it was the cause and I moved on to two other projects to confirm. One of those worked correctly - the simpler project - and the other did not. So two out of three drawings could not be turned into symbols, and the…

In Legacy "File New" Interface can't change Name from Untitled-1
On Illustrator CC 24.1.1 (64bit) on Windows 10 v1909 using the Legacy "File New" interface from the home screen on a fresh launch it is impossible to change the value of the file name. It shows as selected text, yet typing, reselecting, hitting delete and backspace all do nothing to change the text from "Untitled-1".

Save As and Save aren’t immediately possible
I open an existing file, make edits and either Save As or Save (ctrl+s). A dialog box says the file couldn't be saved because of various possible reasons which none of are true. I immediately try to Save As or Save (ctrl+s) after closing the dialog and the save is successful. This happens 99% of the time since 24.0.1 (possibly sooner).

Cannot select or move a stroke with the direct selection tool
I created a square. I tried to select one edge of the square to alter the shape. The direct selection tool would not select the stroke. It was a 1 point stroke. No matter which mode I used (outline or preview) it would not select the stroke.
I expect the direct selection tool to be able to select a stroke so that I can move it. This is not happening. Well, it does happen, eventually, but only after about 30 attempts. It should only take one attempt. And, no, changing the the selection tolerance does not help, and "object selection…

Illustrator and InDesign crashing multiple times a day
I have a weird crash — many but not all times I step away from my Mac (2020 MacBook Pro 16" running Catalina; 64GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB; Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB), Illustrator goes down (and often, InDesign as well). I'll come back and wake up the machine and am greeted with system crash messages. The crash message seems to be related to Dispatch queue. Is it possible this is tied to sleep functionality, or perhaps a GPU issue? Would love to resolve this.

Shape Builder deletes line sections that should stay.
I have a complex design with a bunch of overlapping parts and I'm trying to use shape builder to connect sections together. when I select all my lines, then start to build my shapes, it will start deleting lines that are not part of the shape I'm working on. Usually these lines are part of the line I'm working on, but outside of the shape I'm trying to build. The lines aren't highlighted while I'm selecting the pieces of the shape, but disappear anyway. I have tried breaking the line between the shape I'm building and the lines that I…

Scrolling or zooming causes round Corner Widgets to get deselected
Steps to reproduce:
1. draw a rectangle
2. Use the mouse to select ONE of the corners' radius handle (the bullseye handle inside the corner)
3. Move the mouse wheel to pan (or zoom) a small distance.
4. The bug happens here! The corner radius handle is no longer selected, and dragging the handle now affects all four corners. This is no good if you want to have only one corner radiused. I only noticed this recently so I think it's a newly introduced problem.Panning or zooming should NOT affect the selections that the user has made.

Survey Request
The annoying prompt to take the survey cannot be turned off. Even on completing it I am still prompted to take it - when you do its recognized you've already taken this. This survey prompt should be disabled at least when it's been taken once.

The input fields and dropdowns get visual artifacts and then illustrator crashes sometimes after that.
The text boxes and dropdowns get visual artifacts - resizing illustrator causes ui to disappear until you hover over it, and then illustrator becomes unresponsive or crashes after that.

Text element with multiple paragraph styles & colors turns white when adding used colors
I have a text element with two paragraphs and have assigned a style to each paragraph. One paragraph style is a different color, for emphasis.
When I go to Swatches (palette) > Add Used Colors, all of the text turns white (invisible against a white artboard) and a swatch named "K=0" is added to the swatches palette. This can be avoided by setting all Paragraph Styles to black or no color and using Character Styles to apply color, but that's not really how the styles are supposed to work.
If the paragraph and character styles ever are fully functional in…

"Double Click To Isolate" preference does not work
Using the direct selection tool to try and double-click your way to grabbing a grouped object within another group of grouped objects fails. It simply doesn't select any of the other elements. This is a paralysing bug that may well see me dumping my CC subscription and going back to Illustrator CS5 or 6. From what I read, this bug is old so why hasn't Adobe fixed it?
Attached is the file with the bug. Try double-clicking the green nodes on the chart with the direct selection tool. It should grab all the dots. Then expand out and grab the…1 vote
