1. XD and PS defaults to open .ai files - AI files should open with Illustrator only

   Working in windows 10. After updating XD and Illustrator to 2019, all my existing .ai files have been defaulted to open in XD. I can use the "Open With" option to successfully open .ai files in Illustrator but the default always stays with XD no matter how many times I select Illustrator.

   Uninstalled XD. AI files cannot locate Illustrator as primary software for launch.

   NOTE:
   Edited by Adobe Staff to generalise the issue.

2. Legacy shape-drawing functionality is missing

   I do not want "smart" shapes by default. My biggest gripe is that one cannot easily draw shapes in rapid succession. For example, if I draw a circle and immediately want to draw another, say, centered around the anchor point of the previous, I have to CMD+SHIFT+A to deselect the previous shape. Otherwise the shape tool is no longer a shape tool but a TRANSFORM tool.

   You can switch off the bounding box and smart widgets by pressing shortcut Cmd + Shift + B and can use the drawing tools as legacy tools.
   You can also select View→Hide bounding box for the same.

   For reverting back to current state again press the same shortcut or select View → Show bounding box

   Hope this would help achieving your workflow.

3. Welcome screen Illustrator CC 2019

   Customize the Welcome Back screen: Right now the "Start a new file fast" screen shows various options including an A4. I'm not in the EU. Where's the US Letter size? That would make the most sense in the US. Where can I edit that group? How do I clear the list of most recent?

   You can do cmd/ctrl + N, select print section and go to A4. You will find the A4 size in the unit you want.

5. The position of the right-click menu doesn't match the 4K screen (200% scale)

   Illustrator version: 22.1 (64-bit)

   When right click in the document, the position where the menu appears is incorrect.
   If the mouse cursor is closer to the top-left corner of the screen, the menu position is closer to the cursor.
   If the mouse cursor is farther from the top-left corner of the screen, the offset between the cursor and the menu position and is greater.

   Please see my screen record for details: https://youtu.be/KY_9y_SuCCk

8. Surface pro (2017) pen pressure problem

   Hello everyone!

   I don't Know if this is a bug, a missing driver or miscalibration, but I have a problem with the surface pro (2017) and the Adobe Illustrator paintbrush tool not working well together. I have the newest model of the surface pen, but the lines I draw with the paintbrush tool are not able to taper to a sharp edge even if I start with really low pressure and lift the pen carefully at the end. It always leaves this rounded edge.

   This video demonstrates my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95JQRwbsGD8

   I have also attached two screenshots: first being a screenshot of the lines i drew on my surface pro (2017) and the pen; and the second being a screenshot of the lines I did on my desktop computer using a Wacom Intuos pro. these were drawn with the same exact brush and using the same hand movement, however you can clearly see that the Surface Pro is not able to produce as thin lines.

   I have tried to change the pen pressure curves to combat this but it doesn't help. What it feels like is that when you press very lightly with the pen, the line jumps straight to this medium thickness instead of being really thin at first. Also the line keeps the same thickness until I exceed a certain pressure threshold. The line starts drawing pretty much when I feel like it should, it just jumps straight to thicker line and stays that way for a bit even if i change the pressure slightly. This can be most clearly seen in the middle lines of the screenshots I attached: the first one (Surface Pro) has no variation in the line weights of the lines it produced from my very light, barely-touching-the-tablet type of line, but the second (Intuos Pro) was able to pick up on the line weight variation on those lines.

   I have installed the newest firmware and driver update already from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55484

   I should also mention that with Photoshop I am able to produce very thin lines, so the pressure sensitivity works well in there.

   I would be really grateful if a solution could be found to this problem! Inking with vector lines was something I was looking forward to when buying this device, but now I feel like I am handicapped when using Illustrator on my Surface Pro.

9. Use of Asset Export panel modifies existing SVG when closing without saving changes

   When using the Asset Export panel in Illustrator, if an SVG is exported with the same name as the currently open file, when that file is closed without saving changes, the existing file is modified.

   Specifically, a <metadata> element is added to the SVG, which results in unexpected behaviour when trying to use the SVG in an HTML document for example.

   This is part of my current workflow because Illustrator creates better SVG exports than XD. Therefore I am exporting an SVG from XD, then opening it in, and re-exporting it from, Illustrator. Every time I repeat that process, I encounter this bug - normally when closing Illustrator at the end of the task.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Create a new document (it can be any size). I have created a 50px by 50px Web document.
   2. Add an object to that document. I have added a black square 50px by 50px with no stroke. [Screenshot 'Step 2']
   3. Drag that object into the Asset Export panel. Leave the name as the default of Asset 1.
   4. Export the asset as an SVG.
   5. Open the exported SVG in a text editor to see it's code. [Screenshot 'Step 5']
   6. Close the document created in step 1.
   7. Open the new 'Asset 1.svg' in Illustrator.
   8. Drag the object (in this case the black square) to the Asset Export panel again. Leave the name as the default of Asset 1.
   9. Export the asset as an SVG. When asked if you want to replace the existing file choose to replace.
   10. Open the exported SVG (from step 9) in a text editor and observe that the code is different to the output from step 5. [Screenshot 'Step 10']
   11. Close the open document in Illustrator. When asked to save changes, choose 'Don't Save'.
   12. Open the exported SVG (from step 9) in a text editor and observe that the <metadata> element has been added, despite choosing to not save changes. [Screenshot 'Step 12']

   Technical Information

   Adobe Illustrator CC v22.1
   Running on macOS High Sierra v10.13.6

10. Illustrator & Mohave

    I performed the upgrade to Mojave 10.14 yesterday from High Sierra. Now I am dealing with some really strange & frustrating Finder & Adobe CC behavior. "An unexpected error occurred (error code -8011)" when I try to rename files in Finder.

    Illustrator, instead of saving over my open working files, is generating new file versions named in numerical order -without my doing- and I am unable to change these filenames after closing them all and renaming them in Finder. And it sometimes skips a save, too. For example, when I hit Save in Illustrator, new file appears named "Filename 1.ai, Filename 2.ai, Filename 5.ai" Instead of saving over "Filename.ai". No problem reopening these files however in Illustrator. But goes right back to the naming issue. Note:*This is not a duplicate filename issue, this is something entirely weird.

    My version of Illustrator is current with most recent update.
    Not good at all. Any ideas why this is happening? It's quite strange, have never seen this before.

12. 3D Extrude and Bevel - Rough color transitions

    The 3D extrude and bevel doesn't seem to handle transitions between curved surfaces and straight surfaces well. There's a very rough color transition in the resulting 3D render where one would expect a smooth transition. See attached for an example.

    I use split to grid to make myself a grid to work on and it works fine on a single artboard. But if i try to make split to grid on any other artboard than the first one, it sends the horisontal guides to the first artboard and keeps the vertical ones on the correct one. The lines stay grouped and can be moved, but it takes extra time and effort.
    This happended on different machines.

    Can’t reproduce in the latest version.

    The description is no exactly clear, so it’d be nice to get a video of the behavior, along with the exact steps: what configuration of artboards do you have, what and how do you split exactly, what do you do next to make guides.

16. Artboard 2 unnecessary

    Every new document created has 2 artboards (At least when creating from the 1920x1080 HD video template) Every time I go to export a jpg or png via save for web, it slows to a crawl because of a huge unnecessary artboard. I only want to export the size artboard I created, the HD size. But I have to wait for it to catch up and then cancel, delete the useless artboard, then go back to exporting. The whole process takes several minutes and is infuriating.

19. Microsoft Surface pro 5 pen + Adobe illustrator cc2018 pen tool issues

    Hello..

    I installed Adobe CC 2018 and some other softwares on Miscrosoft Surface Pro 5.

    But, I found an issues in the Adobe Illustrator cc2018 and cc2017 when I used a surface pro 5 pen + "pen tool", it is often unable to click. This issues sometime also occurs when using surface pro 5 pen + the "brush tool" and "hand tool".
    But somehow, when using a mouse, everything becomes normal.

    Then I tried to use the surface pro pen on Adobe Photoshop + pen tool, and it's all normal.
    Even I also tried in Adobe Illustrator CS6, the surface pen + "pent ool" are normal too.

    I was update windows, reinstal adobe illustrator, find solution on surface pen setting and adobe illustrator preference but still not found solution.

    I have idea: adobe give solution for this issues so surface user can still using adobe illustrator to working.

    Thanks,

    Regards

    I have my Character Tools on Top, then my Swatches below, then my Transparency tools.
    I click to change transparency setting and the color swatches are below, thus what ever I click in the menu clicks through into the swatches and thus my color changes. Same issue when I change fonts.
    I click the multiply option in my transparency tools and that menu pops up over the swatches, thus whatever I click, clicks through the little menu and into the swatches color. See attached or you won't understand.
    Am using the latest Illustrator on Win10. See attached.
