White flickering screen: Illustrator 2019 gltches out video card in Macs with AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB graphics card...
it's an Apple & Adobe conflict with each other regarding the AMD graphic card driver(s) + Mojave OS 10.14. Rolling back to Illustrator 2018 doesn't fix it. I first thought it was a physical hardware problem (dying graphics card) until we experienced the problem on multiple Macs in the same way.
This issue didn't exist prior to updating to Mojave, however, I think Mojave and Adobe were fine together until updating to Adobe CC's 2019 products which had the initial conflict and, in turn, created the same conflict for the prior Adobe CC versions + Mojave.
I 100% believe there…

Illustrator window is bordered with red
In some cases, Illustrator shows a red line around the window.
I run Illustrator 23.0.4 on MacOs Mojave 10.14.5
I don't want disable GPU performance to hide it, I will lose performance doing so.
I think it's a glitch, because if I press "F" two times, the red line it's gone.

Adobe Illustrator 2019
My adobe illustrator 2019 keeps crashing every 10/15 minutes. I tried closing out of my other windows and just running that program by itself and it still crashed every 10/15 minutes. It is very frustrating when I am working on something and have to re-open up the program. Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Illustrator CC v23.0.1 STILL not showing files that were opened by launching program
This has been an issue that I've experienced for well over a year now and was reported to have been fixed with version 23.0.1, but I updated to that version several months ago and am still to this day experiencing this issue. If you don't already have Illustrator open and launch the program by double-clicking an AI file (or choosing "Edit in Adobe Illustrator" when right-clicking on a link in InDesign), the document in question does not appear to be open and additional attempts to open said file result in either nothing or a dialog box telling you the file…

Properties Panel won't stay open
When I have the navigator and the properties panel on the right side on top of each other, the properties panel will close if I expand the navigator and vice versa. This has not been a problem in other versions.

Saving dialogue box is persistent above all other apps and windows (mac)
I think the Illustrator save dialogue box that persists above all other windows on my mac, should not stay above all apps and windows - should stay top of stack within the illustrator environment only

svg import - Support of class assignments at group level
AI 23.0.3 on Win 10
We tried to open a svg created with another tool in AI but there are always display problems. So we compared svg code created in both tools of a filled rectangle and a line.
AI ignores the settings of the svg because of NO support of class on group level (g class). CSS is also not always read well.Is there a possibility to fix this problem?

Recolor Artwork stops working if more than one document is open
If I have two documents open, I am unable to use Recolor Artwork under Color Guide. It just stops working. Nothing happens when I pull the sliders, click to randomly change the color order or click on color groups. It's broken.
Everything turns back to normal when I close the other document.

tear-off
Mac: 10.14.5
Illustrator version: 23.0.4In the past I was able to save my workspace with toolbar tear-offs (shapes, pen, etc.). When I re-open Illustrator and select my custom workspace, my tear-off tabs are not present. I'm hoping to get the tear-offs to save with my saved wowrkspace.

Type objects duplicated on top and converted to outlines
Sometimes when opening up a file, type objects are copied and placed exactly above the original type object, and converted to outlines. There are sometimes anywhere from 1 to 3 duplicated objects. It usually affects every type object in the document. The same issue has been affecting my colleagues' computers, and we often work off of the same documents and share them with each other.
We all have 15" MacBook Pros, using either Illustrator version 2018 or 2019, on Mojave.
2 votesDoes this problem happen with the latest Illustrator build?
If it does — please provide additional information:
1. What is the format of the document used, .ai or .pdf?
2. Does it happen with all the the type objects in a document, or only for some specific fonts, or point / area type only?
3. Do these have any effects or custom appearance applied?
If you have a chance to create a test file with this issue reproducible — please share it in the comments.

dots (.) on units
when typing units, in any case (like sizing a square, or the width of a line), we were able to use the dot (.) for decimals, now it only reads the commas (,). So if i create a square (or any other object) and type on size something as: 3.5mm, it reads it as 35mm, if i want a 3.5mm square, i need to type 3,5mm (with a comma).
it is more practical to accept the dot, since it is right there at the numpad on the keyboard.
can we go back to that?

A number of my panels will not open - e.g.: when I click to expand the character panel, all I get below is a black box.
Many of my panels still open as they should. However, I'm having this problem with the info, character, paragraph, properties, stroke and align panels. Any help on what could fix it would be greatly appreciated? I've searched on the adobe support community and google and no one else seems to be having this problem. Thanks!
