Placing images file then locking layers 21.1.0 64bit
Bug Report
I can always replicate this. Here's how.
create a new document
go to file-place and select multiple image files
before clicking to place images, create new layer and lock all other layers
Click anywhere and it will place your image on a locked layer in the corner of the art board instead of on your new layer in the location of your click.

Type and Text Sizing Illustrator CC 2017
I was adding a Type/Text box into my design when Adobe Illustrator stopped working and not responding. Then when I was able to get it back up I could place a Type/Text box in my design but the box was filled with lines and lines of unwanted text. I got that fixed but now the text comes up at barely 1/16th of an inch and I am unable to change the font size. I have done everything that everyone has suggested and I have also uninstalled the program and re-installed it and the problem is still occurring.…

Inconsistencies changing sizes using keyboard arrows In illustrator if you change sizes using shift + arrows in the top bar, it rounds up to the nearest 10 and then goes up in 10s. In photoshop it doesn't round up just increases by 10.
I think it would be better to be able to choose which mode to use as sometimes I prefer either depending on what I am doing.

Illustrator CC 2017 (macOS 10.13) crashes unexpectedly in High Sierra. I was creating a second artboard and about to save my file when the program just crashed. This is the third time this has happened since I upgraded and before I realized there was a compatibility issue. Also, when opening Illustrator first thing in the morning after turning the computer on, it is back to taking a long time to open, usually getting hung up on the Perspective.aip.

High Sierra: "Package" function doesn't work Hi everyone. On High Sierra the "Package" function doesn't work properly (Illustrator 21.1.0). The fonts are packed completely, the links sometimes too, but often there are a lot missing links. The document itself is not saved into the packed folder. A message appears, that the packaging couldn't be done.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 23.0.6 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

reflection tool AI 21.1
create a hollow compound path with two rectanglesround one of the corners
make an off-centre reflection with either tool palette or from transform menu
the inner path gets reflected but the outer path only gets moved to where it is expected
the 'preview' is correct but when I release the mouse any path having at least one rounded corner gets rotated 90º clockwise2 votes -
High Sierra MacOS 10.13 Illustrator and navigation When I use Command+Tab to navigate between programs, I have to hide all open programs to see Illustrator's interface. The open palettes will display, but not the the document window, toolbar, application bar. When I try to hide Illustrator, only the palettes respond. Illustrator is generally sluggish with High Sierra.

IllustratorSaveOptions in C# .NET is not working anymore as expected For more than a decade the following Illustrator script has been applied via C# .NET in combination with all existing Illustrator versions (sourcecode):
typelib.IllustratorSaveOptions saveOptions = new typelib.IllustratorSaveOptions();
saveOptions.Compatibility = typelib.AiCompatibility.aiIllustrator8;
saveOptions.FlattenOutput = typelib.AiOutputFlattening.aiPreserveAppearance;
DestDoc.SaveAs(sPath, saveOptions);All over the internet we see a lot of people using the same code above (applying the exact same idea) also in other programming languages.
Following test has been done with Illustrator versions CS, CS2, CS3, CS5, CS6, etc. on the latest Windows 10 operating system and VS2012: draw 2 intersecting rectangles: above yellow, the other red. A transparency Difference has been set on…

Artboard list drops off when saving With multiple artboards setup. "Save a copy" to EPS and select "Use Artboards" Select "all".
EPS's export fine, artboards still in there, but artboard listing drops all but top artboard. If you click around a bit, they re-appear.

pen tool game https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/illustrator/how-to/pen-tool-game.html
This game has been a valuable resource for teaching Illustrator. However, the game has been broken now, and Adobe do not seem to care or register the problem.
The resources you provide to teach and support products are an important part of the package. It does not look good to see such neglect of what was an excellent idea.
I would even like to see more of these interactive learning experiences, as it is more engaging and useful than most other types such as videos.
Obviously there is some maintenance of a web game, but it should be easy…
