SVG Export issue
When exporting an svg, the file is "empty". There're only some bytes, but it shows in the browser, when you do some drag and drop. So, now comes the problem, if I sending the file to a workmate he get only a "Not working img". I must export the file a few times, with the same options to get a working svg.
And sometimes the export delete the main file (.ai), I don't know why.

Type on Circle Path Centers at 45º
When I type on a circular path, something I've done a million times, it now centers at 45º instead of 90... despite anchor points at the cardinal NESW.

Letter outlines distorting bug
In type, I noticed that some curve points looked like they had 'kinked'.
But checking the Glyphs font master and the generated font, all was fine.
Strange thing is that in Illustrator the actual vector line is correct (no kink, in highlighted blue on the attached image) but the black-filled area DOES have a kink (see the version where I added a magenta outline - the circle indicates a kink).It’s like Illustrator is rounding off the values of the point placements when rendering on-screen displays, but still preserving the actual paths (which are not seen when printed - just…

handles
- Version 23.0.1
- I was working as usual but suddenly kept closing and running slowly. I had lost what I was doing once. Then opened up again and couldn't extend lines anymore, there wasn't centre handles nor white anchors in any object I draw.

Have to zoom a lot to reveal middle handles with small objects
MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54) and Illustrator CC2019 23.0.1
MBP 2018, i9, 32 Gb, Radeon Pro Vega 20, 4080 MtIt seems like Illustrator CC2019 has an issue with handles vanishing (at least on my system)
If you have a long and narrow (either horizontally or vertically), or otherwise small object, you have to zoom very very close to reveal the middle handle. Makes changing lengths of said objects pretty hard when matching with other objects with, for example, snapping etc.3 votes -

Text always shows as black
Sometimes, when I apply color to a text box (using the swatches or the eyedropper) the color shown on screen is black even though in the Appearance panel the Fill is the one I applied.

Hi,
The attached screenshot displays the FILL color underneath the CHARACTERS in the APPEARANCE panel therefore any change applied to the FILL will not be displayed, to display it correctly please move the FILL color row on top of the CHARACTER row (Click & Drag) in the Appearance panel.
Hope this helps to resolve this issue.
With Best Regards,

Manually entering integer size values makes fractions
The Width/height (Screenshot B: / H: ) Values don't work sometimes.
If I manually type in the values like 20x20 it will create something like this 20,134x19,999.

Paste in Place does not work properly
So I'm having problems with the Paste in Place command, sometimes it works great when I Copy or Cut something and paste it on other artboards but most of the times it is not working properly, either what I copied o cut get outside the drawing area or it goes to a random place, and at first I thought I wasn't selecting the artboard but even with the artboard selected it falls anywhere. I'm running Illustrator CC 2019, on windows 10.

2018 Illustrator CC is crazy slow / extreme lag on fast touchbar mac
AI is extraordinarily slow to do anytlhing, even select tools, or draw or duplicate objects. I have a very fast computer:
2016 MBP 2.9ghz intel core i7
16gb ram
radeon pro 460
running OS 10.13.6
I have 60gbb free of space on my SSD.I haven't worked in AI for several years, but I'm deeply familiar with PS, and I'm following a tutorial on how to draw a geometric shape. So thats what I'm doing in the project. Very simple stuff.

Lock/unlock width and height while scaling
If I have a rectangle for example and I unlock the width and height so that I can change the values separately, If I change the width or height (size) the object transforms proportionally.
Example:
Object 500 H x 500 W px (locked):
If I change H -50px I get 450 H x 450 W px.Problem
Object 500 H x 500 W px (Unlocked):
If I change H -50px I expected to get 450 H x 500 W px.
But what I get is 450 H x 450 W px.4 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.
