Crash when applying stroke
Illustrator often crashes when apply stroke to simple path or compound path. Crash seems random and inconsistent but happens 6-10 times a month.

Pattern Tile Seam lines are visible when imported in Photoshop or saved via Export for Screens
Can we please find a way to fix those tiny 0.5 px seam lines we ALL have had to deal with for years? The ones that you see when you zoom in or out at certain levels? The ones that don't apparently print? However, they for sure show up when importing patterns into Photoshop, so they aren't just imaginary. When building a Photoshop pattern that begins as a vector pattern, it becomes a nightmare having to meticulously clone them out. Please fix this if at all possible!

Artboard tooltip cannot be dismissed
When I double click on an Artboard to open its properties, I receive a blue tooltip "Shift-click to select multiple artboards. Alternatively, Shift-drag to draw a marquee...". However, I am unable to dismiss this tooltip because the Artboard Options dialog is open, and that is at the highest z-index, and I cannot interact with any other interface unless I dismiss this dialog.
11 votesWe have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 23.0.

Welcome page doesn't seem to work
Clicking on the 'see what you can create' or 'swap colours' panels does nothing on my windows 10 machine in Illustrator and InDesign. I like the idea of this though!

updated eps files no longer preview
Running Mac OS 10.13.5, Illustrator CC 22.1
When opening an existing eps file, I make a change to the file and then save. Then, when importing that file into ID, the image will not preview, and I just get a gray box. This also happens if I do a "save as" and overwrite the old file with the same name. However, if I choose "save a copy," the file previews fine. Help?

AI can't open file
Using Windows 7 professional. Have AI 2015. Problem recently started occuring. I would save a file then go back in and try to open it and a box shows up saying it can't be opened. Would try to open another file and the screen would turn white with a time wheel. It would say AI has to close. Windows would contact if a solution was available. No solution!

Shape tools lagging and leaving mark when resizing
I just started using Illustrator CC 2018 on Windows 7. I began using some of the shape tools and started to experience an issue. Each time I go to resize a shape or move it, the shape leaves an impression of its previous size or location. I tried to uninstall Illustrator and then reinstall, yet the problem persists. If I minimize or maximize the art board the lines go away. I have also found that the smart guides don't work when re positioning the shapes.

Actions don’t record renaming of groups, don’t remember the choice in Expand dialog
I'm recording Actions to in Illustrator CC 2018 ( 22.1) and I've found a few things lacking:
1) When I group objects, and name the group, while recording an action the name does not get recorded.
The group just bears the name "group".2) If you choose "Expand" while recording an action and choose from the available options (Fill, Stroke, etc.), you are asked to make that choice again when the action runs — not much of an Action!
Aside from the above I find the lack of Conditional Action, as per Photoshop, feature disappointing: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33770071
Are there any fixes…

Placed graphic glitch
Placing a 1-bit BMP image and rotating in Ill2018 results in a broken image. Toggling the GPU Preview on fixes the appearance on screen, but exporting to JPG, the issue transfers to the output image.
I have a video @ http://www.veoh.com/watch/v139306245XMJBdwySI am using a Mac Pro (late 2013) and Illustrator 2018 22.1

global color slider occasionally stuck
We work from a preset set of colors that I have set up as global colors so that we can easily use percentages of each color in the projects we work on. I have found that not infrequently the global color slider will get "stuck" on the initial percentage it is set to. Trying to change the percentage by typing in a new percentage will get set back to the percentage that it was originally set to (I was just working on a project where I set it to 30% initially. That looked too faint so I typed in "40"…

"Export as" not working as expected
When I use File > Export > Xxport as ...e.g. png, using the "Use artboards" function the "Save As" dialog isn't working properly...
Firstly, it doesn't save the name I typed exactly... "Version 1.2.png" it somehow uses parts of already existing file names like "Version 1.2_Text.png" which is really weird...
Secondly, if I use parts of the name of a file that already exists like "Text_Version 1.2.png" in the saving process and Text.png already exists it asks me if I want to overwrite that file...
2 votesIf you still have the problem, please share a test file and a strict chain of steps to reproduce the problem, ideally with a video attached the team can follow. Please mention the exact names for the files already existing in the target folder also, if it matters.

Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 for mac crashes when opening file
My idea is for Adobe to actually fix the problem; I've followed every linked fix to the letter and Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 for mac will open normally. But, when I try to open any file, I get the spinning pinwheel of death and have to Force Quit (Not Responding). Please provide an actual fix. Thanks

creating a simple box crashes the software
More often than not when I go to create a simple box Illustrator crashes forcing me to FORCE QUIT the software and try again.
Very time consuming and needless..

Bengali Dari Line Break Issue
The Indic 'dari' (U+0964, "।") reflows to the next line in Bengali, but it should behave like a period and not be allowed to start a line, especially if not preceded by a space. I am using v22.0.1 x64 on Windows 10. I have attached a file to show what I mean.

Adobe Fonts dont sync properly with Typekits fonts purchased.
My synced fonts don't show up in Illustrator. These are fonts that have been syncs for months. Restarting Illustrator does nothing. Unsyncing and resyncing fonts on Typekit does nothing

Opening CC 2015 files that have missing links causes the program to hang/crash
Old 2015 save files which have a missing linked file cause CC 2018 to hang when opening the file. Opening the file in 2015 bring up the dialogue box 'missing file, do you want to continue to open'. It seems 2018 cant show the dialogue box or some strange bug so it hangs.

Transform Each object in an isolated group transform the group instead
Select all objects in a Group and Transform Each will Transform each object WHILE ALSO TRANSFORMING THE WHOLE GROUP TOWARDS IT'S CENTRAL POINT. This directly contradicts the conventional meaning of "Transform Each".
The workaround is to deselect one of the objects in the Group, which is why this is a Bug- the workaround is a kludge fix.17 votes
