Not responsonding
Every time I am working in Illustrator & switch to a different app, Illustrator will hang when I return causing me to wait prior to returning to my work. So, for example if I am working on an illustration then go to google chrome to look at something online then return to my work in Illustrator it will hang & become unresponsive for a little bit of time (1 - 2 minutes) after waiting I can continue to work . I have already followed the steps outline by Adobe (found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-illustrator-performance-windows.html) to increase performance within the app &…

ungroup
'Ungroup' keystroke (CTRL+SHIFT+G) does not work. I even went into the keyboard shortcuts and tried to reassign that keystroke to the command, and it won't let me. 'Group' (CTRL+G) works great. Clicking ungroup in the properties panel is the only thing that works.

paste remembers layers doesn't work if original layer is hidden
Steps:
create object on layer.
Copy object.
Hide layer
create new layer
paste object with new layer selected.It will warn you that the layer you're attempting to paste onto is hidden. But....no it's not. I have the "paste remembers layers" checkbox turned off.
This is either a bug, or someone should stick close to someone who actually understands user expectations.

Autosave disables itself
Windows 10, AI CC (latest release)
Autosave disables itself. When AI crashes - as it does - I get nothing.
I set auto-save for every 2 minutes in preferences. Then, after Illustrator crashes, I go back in to preferences to find it has unchecked that option. Nothing. I lose a load of work.
There are no expletives for how I feel about this. PLEASE sort it out?

iMac pro
I use a new iMac pro 8 core 32gb. The of Illustrator performance is terrible. I design simple logos (some rectangles and a couple of words) black and white, no pictures, no imported stuff. 4 different Font weights.
After about 15 min of working everything starts to get a really long lag and becomes almost unusable.
I can't believe that this is possible. This is going on for several days. I did several restarts. All the other software I use runs amazing. UI is crazy slow. Commands take forever to execute.
You call this professional?I made several

SVG files can not be opened in Adobe CC / Illustrator 22.1.0 (Mac OS, High Sierra)
I have been successfully exported / imported SVG files in the past. Just recently I had to re-install MacOS and Adobe CC suite with Illustrator, Photoshop etc. I just noticed I can not open SVG files in Illustrator anymore. They can be opened in Photoshop but not in Illustrator. If i try to open them in illustrator, I'm seeing prompt where I can choose if I want to import the file in text, PNG (!) or some other formats.

import png from Photoshop or Capto results in an invisible link
Illustrator CC 22.1, OSX 10.13.6
When importing a .png or .jpeg from photoshop or as a screen capture from Capto, the link appears in the links panel, but is invisible on the art board or the paste board. If you click go to link in the links panel, it takes you an extremity on the pasteboard, but the link is not visible and cannot be selected.
Expected result, to see the .png on the art board. When searching for link on pasteboard, that it would be visible.
Actual result, link is not visible anywhere, but appears in link palette.

Artboard
When copying one art board and saving PDF. The PDF will sometimes save a extra page automatically. Can easily be fixed in adobe acrobat by deleting the extra copied pages but wish I didn't have to do that in first place.

Blend Tool doesn't create/show a spine when blending between two open paths
Normally when creating a blend between two objects with the Blend tool (or Object > Blend > Make), Illustrator creates and shows a spine that can be manipulated with the Pen, Direct Selection and other tools. This spine makes it easy to edit the path of the blend with the Pen and Direct Selection tools.
When creating a blend between two open paths, however, Illustrator does not create or show this spine.

Transparency in indexed images is not supported by Illustrator
If you place an indexed image (linked or embedded, it doesn't matter) that has transparency, the transparency is always drawn as white.
Workaround:
If you convert the image to RGB and re-place; transparency is rendered properly. The main problem is that many users will not be aware of the difference between indexed colour images and the alternatives.3 votes -
