Missing fonts issue
It's not reading Adobe fonts. It keeps saying to activate the font every time I open a document. The program hangs trying to activate a font, making the file not work properly "without" a font that was perviously activated.

Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor
Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor on Canvas.
Please remove this bug which is on illustrator since a long time (perhaps 2014/2015 version or before :/ ). It would be time to give a better UX on it because it's really boring.

Fills rendered not accurate compared to edges when using GPU mode
I noticed a small rendering issue with strokes in GPU mode. The boundaries seem to be somewhat inaccurate, to the point that in certain situations (regardless of whether or not they're joined and by any method), suck as a tee shape, a small bulge of one stroke can appear beyond the edge of another, even though they shouldn't.
See attached pictures, the problem area is circled. It is subtle, but visible. There is a slight bulge extending outwards towards the right, presumably from the horizontal path at that junction. This is incorrect, the paths are joined and have identical stroke…

One column toolbar is not remembered and becomes two columns each launch
Toolbar does not remember the one column setting if "Show the home screen when no documents are open" is uncheck.
Step to reproduce:
- Reset all settings
- Run Illustrator
- For example set "Essentials" workspace (now you have one column toolbar)
- Open preferences
- Uncheck "Show the home screen when no documents are open"
- Check "Use Legacy File New Interface"
- Restart Illustrator
- Now toolbar have two columns (and thats the problem)
You must reset the workspace every time you open Illustrator to keep one column toolbar
This error has already been confirmed by the your employee "Dipak Kumar"

Using Batch... and "Override save/export commands" does not work
Example: I have an action that prepares a logo file, then saves to ai and svg, and exports to png and jpg.
I have it recorded as an action, and it runs great.
If I try to use "Batch..." to run it on a folder of images I have options to "Override Action 'Save' commands" and "Override Action 'Export' commands" that will let you point the save/export commands to a new folder. This is great in theory, but does not work right.
After running the batch, I only have 2 files. Not 4. The Save as AI then SVG steps…

Buttons in Properties panel not recording in an action
When recording an action, there are things in the Properties panel that does not record properly.
Example: Flip horizontally/vertically. The buttons does not record, but choosing the same options from the Transform panel menu does record.
Is anyone maintaining Actions in Illustrator? It is awesome, but still needlessly limited due to many things not recording, forced hard-coded paths when recording save steps, etc.
Perhaps learn a little from Photoshop where actions work better (though still limited).2 votes -
Global colours don't seem to be preserved in freeform gradients
I have complex files that are made up of multiple gradients to create a 3D effect. Some of the gradients are linear and some are freeform. I am currently in the process of creating artwork files for both print and digital. To create the digital files I am converting all the files to RGB. There is a specific brand colour that has a different RGB make up than the standard conversion. I thought, no problem, I'll just update the global colour swatch and it should cascade through. But it doesn't! It does on the linear gradients, but not on the…

Saving as PDF with no editing capabilities should not allow you to edit
Currently, if you are working on an AI file, and then choose File / Save as / PDF (and select PDF output options that have NO editing capabilities), once the PDF is saved it then remains open.
The bug is, that although the PDF is set with no editing capabilities - the file will still allow you to make changes and add items outside the Artboard area.
The problem with this is that once you save and close. if you open the file again - there is no way to access the content outside the Artboard area.

Freeform gradients become uneditable
I actually don't know if this is a feature request or a bug report, but I can't edit freeform gradients after I deselect the object with the gradient and then come back to it. When I come back to an object with a freeform gradient, using the gradient tool, the mouse pointer gets a little "no" symbol next to it (Wikipedia says it's called a general prohibition sign) and I can't see, let alone select and edit, any of the stops of the gradient. Is this a bug, or am I supposed to not be able to edit these? If…

Pattern Editing Mode Swatch Width and Height max out at 4000px
Pattern Editing mode lets the user create swatch tiles over 4000px, but does not give you the size of the tile over 4000px. I noticed this first with rectangular pattern that was forcing my computer to crash on edit. I confirmed this behavior by opening a new file creating a 60 in by 60 in square. Pattern was created fine, but the width and height of the swatch still maxed out at 4000px. AI 2018 22.1

Mobile Adobe Draw open in Desktop App (AI) does not work
Opening in Adobe Desktop Apps does not work in iOS Adobe Draw. There is the option to save as a PSD in cloud files, but NOT to save as an AI. Highly disappointing for tablet integration.
Also, two finger gestures are slow and interpret commands poorly.

undo is broken
Undo is just wonky. I hit Undo, and rather than just stepping back one step, it jumps several actions backward, and the Redo steps can't even get back to where I was. I wish I could provide more info, but it's just jacked, so I can't trace the problem.

Expanding a Live Paint Object Changes Dimensions
Reporting a very frustrating Illustrator bug that has been there since version CS6 at least.
There is a bug concerning the Live Paint tool. Live Paint objects need to be expanded most of the time to develop them further in Illustrator. However, after expanding, the dimensions of the shapes get distorted and this renders the Live Paint tool completely useless for precise drawings or illustrations.
I hope something can be done to eradicate this bug as it extensively hinders workflow of many projects that need to be developed with Illustrator.
Thank you.
P.S. The same happens not only with imported…
