Most recent changes not showing when opening up the PDF file in updated CC
I have the most updated Adobe Illustrator. When someone is using an older version of CC and I open up the saved PDF file in my updated version, it doesn't show the changes that were made to the PDF file by the someone that has the older version of CC.
I even had them try adjusting the settings in the PDF such as, "smallest file size", "optimize for web", "Illustrator Default", etc..but no luck.

can't open file properly
v23.03
I can't open some file It hangs on interface background, it shows all layer of my file on my layer tab but I can't see any of my illus, I try to switch on-off the eye in front of the layer and it can't help.
So, I downgrade to v23.02 and all the problem are gone and I think you should fix it before this bug goes with the future version.1 vote -
Print not responding

laggy after placing linked files
When I place a JPG in my file (linked, not embedded), my Illustrator file becomes laggy. It lags when I pan across the file or zoom in and out and takes longer than usual to save the file. I've noticed this as a problem since the latest update of Illustrator.
System specs:
Mojave 10.14.5
imac (retina 5k, 27-inch, 2017)
3.8 GHz Intel Core i5

Text becomes impossible to edit after several minutes of having the program open
Working on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and Illustrator 23.0.4.
After working in the program for a few minutes, transform controls no longer appear around text boxes when selected (show transform controls does not fix the issue). Text attributes are then buggy when applied (tracking will not apply to selected word, can't change font). Shortly after, I can no longer select text boxes at all.
I'm a graphic designer and this issue is hurting my productivity greatly. Please provide a solution!

TIFF images as assets in CC Libraries are always placed as PNG images on the artboard
Affected: Illustrator CC all versions that are working with CC Libraries.
Tested with Illustrator CC 2019 version 23.0.3 on Windows 10. Illustrator versions on Mac OS X are also reported.Steps to reproduce the issue:
Do a new CC Library.
Add TIFF images saved from PhotoShop CC 2019 to the new library.
Two options how you can do this that I know of:
A. Drag the files from your file system to the open and empty library.
B. Use Adobe Bridge CC 2019 to drag files to the open library.Expected result:

Graph tool doesn't work at all
I can't get the chart tool to work at all in this latest version. It's not grayed out in the toolbar, and yet clicking on ANY chart format does nothing.
In the Object > Graph menu, the only available option is Type, and even that just creates a loaded cursor that does nothing. What's going on?

"Recent files" shows the thumbnail of a password protected PDF file.
I expect to not see the thumbnail of a password protected file. Maybe just have a lock image like in the OS?

Buggy strokes, unwanted anti-aliasing and wrong sizes on export.
I have just completed a project where 1800 tool icons had to be redesigned for a CAD program. Exporting my icons to single and @2x PNGs butchers my icons.
If strokes are set to outside, export to PNG invariably produces unwanted anti-aliasing on vertically or horizontally stacked pixels. (see image 1.png). I have a hunch this only occurs with documents that have over 100 artboards. It cannot be easily reproduced with a document containing only a single artboard. (if someone from tech support wants the document, let me know. I cannot share it publicly.)

slow cursor on second monitor when using Adobe Illustrator - only while using Ai
When I used illustrator on my second monitor, the mouse cursor is astoundingly slow and a reduced range across the screen. This only happens when I use illustrator, not other applications. I am using a macOS Mohave 10.14.5 (18F132) and am connecting to my monitor with an HDMI using an HDMI/USB adapter for my laptop.
This costs me in time and efficiency at my job, as I'm sure it does for other people, who have posted similar complaints on adobe forums. Please fix it!

When a document using Japanese TrueType font is opened in different OS environment, font warning is given
When Japanese TrueType font is used in a document and opened in different OS environment,
Even though you have installed the same font, you will get a font warning when you open it.
Screenshots are created on Windows and open on macOS. But the opposite is also true.- Create a file in Windows environment and save it using related fonts
- When 1 is opened in macOS environment, the corresponding font is displayed as a font problem.
- Open Font Search after opening has not caused any problems
There are three types of fonts used, but problems occur with Japanese fonts or…

File open error message
This bug recently started happening when I first open Illustrator, then open first file. This message pops up twice. After that, the file will open without a problem, and Illustrator will work without a problem. Subsequent files will open without a problem. If I close and restart Illustrator, the bug happens again in the same way.

Zoomed out of properties panel
I think I was holding command + scrolling on the magic mouse while hovering over the properties panel. Now it's super small and I can't zoom out.
Your expected result : To scroll down to reveal more in the properties panel
Your actual result: UI of Properties panel scaled down in size.
macOS Mojave 10.14.15
Ai 23.0.5Restarting the application reset the scale of the panel.
Is there a way to turn this off so I can't accidentally resize the panel?

Guides are too thin since last update
Since the last update (23.0.4) guides are almost invisible, especially when using the document grid in combination.
This is only the case when GPU performance is on. When it's switched off, the guides appear as usual. In the previous Illustrator version this problem didn't exist...
The strange thing is: while dragging other guides, or making a rectangle selection with the Selection Tool, the guides become thicker again. But, when I release the mouse again, they become thin again.

Illustrator Recovery-Mode has Turned all my Images Black
I was in the process of saving my original Illustrator file and it froze then crashed, I re-opened the software and it recovered the document but all my images have turned black.
And it's not a links problem, most images are embedded and I have a separate links folder containing the remaining linked images, as you can see there are no missing links.

Moving artwork generates copies along its path
After spending hours on a logo design, I selected all of the art, resized it to fit the canvas, and then moved it over a few spaces to the right. When moving the artwork to the right, illustrator began to generate copies of the art every time I tapped the right arrow key. This mass copying then made the application crash. I am able to open the file but my layers now have hundreds of sublayers in each of them!
I have used illustrator for years and never seen this before.
I am running on Windows 10

Transparency / Swatches
Quando a janela de Transparency está sobre a janela de Swatches e eu clico, se estiver sobre uma cor, um único click é como se fossem dois. Acaba trocando a cor do objeto que estiver selecionado.
