Colors in vector art cannot be changed unless all old swatches are deleted first
If I want to change certain colors in a vector illustration, I cannot just go into edit colors > recolor artwork and change them. I must first delete the original swatches and then change the colors or else the colors will revert back to their original values. I think that old swatches should be unlinked from artwork if they are changed.

Print Dialog Error Happening Every Day
Everyday after about four to six hours of use I go to print a file and get this bug. It renders the software unusable and I have to force quit the program and restart to get my recovered files. I really have no idea what is causing this error.

Grouped Objects Resizing Errors & Inconsistency
macOS Mojave 10.14.5
Illustrator 23.0.6 - ( issue has existed through many versions / upgrades )
—I thought that I had successfully reported this particular issue in the recent past, but cannot find it in a search, so am re-reporting. My apologizes if I'm doubling up.
The Process :
Let's say I have multiple objects of various width and height sizes — e.g. to keep things simple, let's say one object is 4in w x 4in h, and another is 6in w x 4in h.
I then position/possibly-resize the multiple objects precisely and group them together so that their…

Illustrator crashes when using Image Trace
Illustrator has been continually crashing when I use the Image Trace tool. I have been using it on the "Sketched Art" setting with an image file that is 20in x 13in @ 300dpi. Also, I have noticed that when I start to manipulate the advanced options, this is when it crashes most often.
I am using Illustrator CC on Mojave OS.

Rotate tool is acting strange
When using the rotate tool, the angle is in the dialog box (whatever I last used) is automatically applied to my object. If I just try to change the angle it applies that rotation to the new position (based on what I used last), rather than applying the new rotation from the original starting point. I can't even begin to explain what turning preview on and off does, so I included a short screen grab for you. Using Illy version 23.1.1, with MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I also am using the entire sweet of Astute Graphics plugins.

The attributes of the original track remains the same but there is a change within the style, is looks totally different. It also doesnt work when we choose the track and draw new illustration - it looks different. We also tried to create new document ,…

"File, Edit, Object" etc freezes/doesn't work
After I worked for a few minutes in Illustrator CC, the bar with File, Edit, Object etc isn't responding and the only way to close Illustrator is by a Force Quit.

Beachballing for any added effect in Illustrator.
Any time I add a dropshadow or 3d effect, Illustrator beachballs until I have to restart. I have Mac Mojave 10.14.6. Illustrator 2019. If I use preview it's particularly frustrating.

GPU Preview hangs with simple file
System specs: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) • GPU Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB • OSX 10.14.6 • Illustrator 23.1.1
I have an Illustrator file (attached) which is originally imported from a dwg file but doesn't seem to contain that much artwork. Trying to open this file (or preview) with GPU either hangs Illustrator or takes minutes on end to render. The same thing happens if this file is placed in Indesign and GPU preview is on there, even recovering that document after force quitting hangs Indesign.
I can simply work around this problem by disabling GPU performance from…

CC Libraries import yields progress indicator for thumbnail
With the most recent release of Illustrator (23.1.1) on a Mac running Catalina 10.15 Beta, any time I drag an item into the Libraries panel, a thumbnail fails to appear (instead I get a persistent animated progress indicator). I'm able to see the correct thumbnail of the imported item in other Adobe apps (Photoshop and InDesign), as well as online (Libraries --> View on Website). Only after I restart Illustrator do they appear.
