Save for pdf changes from Master .ai file
When I am developing a drawing, I need on occasions to send a pdf version off to my customer. Saving as pdf means that any further work I carry out whilst the program is still open is performed on a pdf file rather than on my master .ai file.
To overcome this problem, it would be handy to be able to 'Export to PDF' so that the original..ai file remains on screen and I can carry on working rather than having to re-save as .ai file first

Ai quits unexpectedly constantly
working on a new or existing file, Ai unexpectedly quits: on save, quits when i choose "edit link" and quits randomly- no idea why. does not save file at all, as if the file never existed and i need to start from scratch every time, even if i previously saved my work!

Constrain switch (chain link icon) appears as disabled when actually enabled
The constrain switch for w/h in the Transform panel is broken. When the panel is open, the option seems inactive (chain with line through), but is active. Has to be clicked twice to be really inactive.

Export for Screen Window not closing after export
Hello, I am currently running a windows 8 and Adobe Illustrator 23.0.6
I tried to export multiple files to Creative Cloud Storage through the export to screens menu.
I expected the export to screens menu to close automatically after exporting the images.
However this resulted in the export to screens menu remaining on the screen and preventing me from clicking off it. Currently the only way to get rid of this menu is to close down the whole program and restart it.

Embed images disappears/ becomes damaged after illustrator crash.
It started to happen after I changed to windows 10 and dobe updated the Illustrator version. Prevent this from happening, cause when images are embed I do not have any copies in my computer. They are just there in illustrator and lots of hard work might be lost.

Constant crashing, lagging, power drain,
Illustrator is constantly slow, lagging, crashing, unresponsive, and small files are acting like large files. I have been using Illustrator for 8 years, but now, it is affect my ability to do my job. I am so incredibly disappointed with the performance issues, slow response time, and I dread having to use this program now. The CS6 version was WAY better than this.
Please adobe, for all of your customers, fix what's broken before adding new features, and 16GB of ram is no where near enough to run this program anymore. 32... maybe.

Gradient Mesh effects on object broken
Hi!
I used the Mesh Tool on a very simply modified oval object(it looks like a symmetrical bicycle seat). And when I do so, the Mesh Tool ignores existing anchor points and arbitrarily creates new points along the object's path. Sometimes very near the object's original points, and sometimes directly on top of those points so there will be 2 overlapping points.
Also, regardless if the object is isolated or not, changing the newly Gradient Meshed anchor point color values produces no effect. And clicking off of these points resets the point's color profile to Grayscale. If I change Grayscale…

Text with small caps is not exported correctly to SVG
When setting the small caps variant to a piece of text, this information gets lost on SVG export.
How to reproduce (Winx64, 23.0.3):
- Create a new document
- Add some text, e.g. "Some Text"
- Activate the small caps property for the text
- Export the document to SVG via File -> Export -> Export As...In the resulting SVG document, the text does not appear as small caps but instead is capitalized, e.g. "SOME TEXT".
Expected behaviour: the text should appear with small caps with the help of the font-variant: small-caps; CSS attribute.

Ctrl+Tab does not work when Caps Lock is on
When Caps Lock is on, the Ctrl+Tab shortcut for switching document windows does not work.
When Caps Lock is off, the Ctrl+Tab shortcut works normally.
I believe that this is not intentional behavior.
All the computers in my studio are experiencing this problem, resetting preferences does not help.Windows 10 64bit (this problem was also present on Windows 8.1 64bit and older versions of Illustrator)

SVG properties settings reset with software update
We use custom settings in the SVG properties window when we save images as SVGs. When I install an illustrator update, it wipes out my custom settings and replaces them with the default settings.

Serious performance lag on 23.0.6
Serious performance lag on 23.0.6
Just updated to 23.0.6 I am on an imac 3.6ghz i9 with 64gb ram. I would click on a block of text and delete - there would be a long pause, beach ball, block deletes, pause, back to work. GPU vs CPU view didn't make a difference. I switched back to 23.0.5 and everything is fine.

UI freezes, then crashes. Can't save.
Last version is pretty unstable. Can't work with it, crashed several times since the update i made this morning. While working, UI freezes (but some tools are still availaible via keyboard shortcut), then crashes without message. Can't save when UI is freezed.
I'm going back to the previous version. Aren't you ashamed that EVERY TIME we update, softs become unusable for professionnal purpose?
Ho, and when will get ******' keyboard shortcut to rename layers? Is it in the current update at last?
