Move tool direction is inverted
Out of nowhere the Move dialog box started acting the opposite way to what it is supposed to do.
According to Adobe Help- To move the object up or down, enter either a negative value (moves up) or positive value (moves down) in the Vertical text box.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/moving-aligning-distributing-objects.html#move_objects
But now a positive value in Y moves the object up in my installation as can be seen in the attachment. This is Illustrator 23.1.1 and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
I asked a friend running 23.0.3 and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 and it works as expected on his system.

text expands inaccurately
Mac OS 10.13.6 AI 23.1.1
See att screenshot. I converted this type to outlines, then Expanded Appearance, then Expanded stroke and fill. Results are superimposed over the original red/orange type. You can that the converted outline does not match the type; in general the top is pushed rightward and the bottom leftward. I tried skewing the outline to correct it but while that may nudge some curves and vertices back to where they belong, it pushes others out. The only solution I know is to tweak and/or redraw the path, which is an extremely time-consuming task. It appears that this…1 vote -

Illustrator file not changing modification time and date after image link updating
When I modify a photoshop image and illustrator automatically updates the link you can close the file without saving so it recognized the image link modification but did not require a save when closed. at this point file date and time do not update to current image replacement. this poses a serious problem in the commercial print industry. Archiving files is based on modification dates and times. If you don't update time and date on file with new image placed it has not
been modified for archive. This is something that has changed in the recent cloud series updates. It…2 votes -
Symbol mangling when exporting into svg
I see an incorrect result when exporting into SVG through File -> Export -> Export As... -> save as SVG. I have two gradient filled rectangles presented as symbols (see .ai inside the attached .zip), one is blue gradient and the other is gray gradient. When export into svg, the resulting image shows both rectangles filled with gray gradient (see .svg inside the .zip).
It looks like AI thinks both symbols are visually the same an merges them into a single symbol. If i use solid colors, this doesn't happen.
As for SVG options see 'svg_options.png' inside the .zip.

Window snaps out of view when switching from external monitor
MBP, OSX Mojave, when using an external monitor with the laptop screen closed everything is cool, unplug the laptop and use built in screen everything is cool.
Once I plug the laptop back into the external monitor with the lid closed AI will snap off screen someplace.
If I use the mission control gesture (swipe up with 3 fingers) the window appears and I can drag it to another desktop, but then it assumes the same position off screen on the new desktop.
The only workaround I have found is to unplug the monitor, resize the window and then plug…

Applied gradient disappears and become black when applied to a compound path with a single anchor point included
I use the same gradient for several objects in a illustration. When closing and opening the document, one of the objects the gradient disappears and is filled black. The preview looks fine.

Menus stuck on one item
After I relink something, the other tabs in that section get stuck on 'Links'. If I select 'Layers' it shows 'Links', if I select 'Libraries' it shows 'Links' and so on...
Dragging the tab out and back in again doesn't fix it. I can't have all these items out in their own tabs as I don't have the room with all the other items I need on a day-to-day basis.
This is very irritating as I have to shut down Illustrator every time this happens... which is all the time.
I've attached screenshots so you can see the same menu…

Wrong encoding of separation names when exporting to PDF/X-4 (should be UTF-8)
When exporting to PDF/X-4 from Illustrator, the separation names are not encoded in UTF-8 (which is requested by the PDF/X-4 standard) but using the OS encoding (MacRoman on Mac - ISO-8859-1 on Windows).
This makes the PDF/X-4 preflight to fail.

Placing SVG object locks AI for >5 seconds
Hello,
On some AI installations, Placing an SVG file locks up AI for a 'long' time. Clicking makes the screen go black. After a relatively long wait, even for a trivial SVG file, the SVG object can be placed on the canvas. Placing a png does not show that slow down. On most machines this is not experienced
What could be the cause of this?
Tx
