Color not applying correctly on selected objects rvsd
I guess one cannot revise/edit one's own report. So here goes. I select an object and try to change the color of the stroke and fill by typing in the hex (?) code, e.g., 050505, and the color does not take. I have to move the circle in the select color box for the color to take and even then it is 50/50 as to whether the color holds. I have never had this problem before and it sure is frustrating now!

AIGUSSNIFFER
aigusniffer appeared after I upgraded to Mohave. How to remove?
When I try to update Illustrator, I get a message that there is a conflict. It tells me to close Illustrator and press the "Continue" button. However, when I close Illustrator, the update dialog box closes too. Confused!

You took away the highlighted outlines from when I select and create objects
I cannot see the outlines highlighted on anything I select, this has ruined my ability to use this program.
I tried going into preferences and selecting the option for showing anchors when I select and it did not work either.I want the old version back, this is useless, PLEASE STOP CONSTANTLY UPDATING THIS PROGRAM
1 voteSorry to hear that you are facing this issue. Looks like you have ‘Show Edges’ option disabled. Goto View→ Show Edges and it will enable the outlines.

Illustrator CC 2019 v23.0 Divide tool not working
I'm running on a iMac Pro (2017) Mojave OS 10.14 and using Illustrator CC 2019 v23.0. I've tried using the divide tool via the Pathfinder panel as well as the new Properties Panel and neither will work. Typically it would divide the two patterns top and bottom and now it just leaves the patterns as is without dividing. I also have used the guides to divide a pattern and that is not working either.

Changed placed item outside of illustrator does not mark the AI Document as changed...
If I have an illustrator document open that has a linked placed item within it, and the document has just been save, and I modify and save the placed item outside of illustrator - AI prompts me that the item has changed and asks if I was to update the placed artwork. If I select YES, the artwork is updated but the AI document is not internally marked as changed - e.g. I can close the file and it will not prompt me to save.

No artboards!
I am using Mac OS Mojave (OS 10.14) with Illustrator 19. When I try to create a new file or open up an existing one, nothing happens! No new artboard appears for me - the page that loads on start up remains there. I've been using Illustrator since the early 90s and nothing like this has ever happened. This is a recent manifestation since the installation of version 19 - please advise what to do!

FIX ILLUSTRATOR 2019
Mac ios High Sierra on iMac 21.5, AI 2019, working on simple packaging mechanical files, sometimes when saving I get a message that it cannot process. I either lose all my work, or several files have been translated into black and white and look like architectural drawings. I have trouble creating new swatches. When I duplicated a swatch, when I changed color of copy, color of original changed. Why is there no step and repeat? Please stop releasing versions of this software before it is bug-free. Most versions don't even have noticeable upgrades, others have annoying upgrades. After using software…

Pattern Brush with raster image adds white pixels not in original image
If using a raster image as the base for a pattern brush, Ai will pad the image with opaque white pixels. This makes it really hard - if not impossible - to use it on anything besides solid white background.
Note: This is NOT the anti-aliasing/"thin white line between segments" issue.
See screenshot.

Window resizes in increments
After a doc is open and the window has been open to the largest size. clicking the bottom right corner to resize the doc window feels like it is snapping to the bottom or to increments of a set size. HOW do we turn this off to resize the document window to any free flowing size ?
7 votesHi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused,Please let me if the issue still persists. You can try changing the UI scaling in preference panel to small as suggested by frank.

Cursor highlights everything, even objects on locked layers. This is disruptive. Why is this update so slow? Take me back!
