Can't Edit Text in a Group/Clipping Mask
In 2018 AI CC, after using a group/clipping mask with text on the inside, you can not edit your text when you double click on the clipping group/mask directly. The Properties panel doesn't display the character settings. See my screenshot
So, to get around this, I have to cut the text out, paste on the main layer, edit it and then cut/paste it back inside my group/clipping mask.
Or, release the entire mask, make my edits then re-group/mask it afterwards. Or I have to open the separate character panel.As opposed to the way it should. The only way the…

In CC2017 when you were resizing an image you could check its ppi, in CC2018 this is not possible. I checked in info panel with the image selected but this information is not even there.

some graphics missing when exporting artboard using "export as"
Hello, I am experiencing strange results during artboard export - after export to bitmap file, there is often some part of graphics missing. Latest example is this - the 1pt stroke, visible in editor, is not present on exported image. Simillar result achieved in numerous different cases, ussually some shapes or contours with white color are missing in exported image. I am includign source files, you will have the background photo link missing, but this can be replaced with any colored box with same result. This is dangerous bug, because you have to control your exports carefully, and is easy…

crashing
So, I updated to the latest version of illustrator about two weeks ago. Then I realised it crashed every 30 minutes or so, every single time i used it. I'm not doing anything particularly heavy, it just crashes randomly. and I often lose the work i've done as the auto save doesnt seem to catch the last few things I've been doing. So, I decided to uninstall and go back to the 2017 version. Which then lead to my documents having their own issues. all saving as transparent, or with weird lines going through them. Here I am again with…

Panel Options not displaying on click and hold
In the panel selection for all the tools (natively on the left) as a click and hold on a tool (ie. The rectangle tool) it does not show any options to select anything else such as the ellipse tool. This issue exists on all of the tool buttons as well as trying to selecting font sizes, in the character panel. Another example is the transparency dropdown. The dropdown just doesn't show up when I click it.

tools panels disappeared.
I've just updated the software and got a dialogue box that some preferences were missing, then the interface changed to the dark one (I opt for the lightest one) and then all my tools seem to have disappeared and I can't get them back. I've quit, reopened, and repeated after restarting but same problem so far exists.

Fit to window (apple-0) doesn't take into rulers into account
Using 'fit artboard to window' on mac Illustrator 2018 doesn't work properly if rulers are shown.
Expected: whole artwork to be shown, fit to window.
Result: top of artwork is 'cropped off' by rulers if they are shown. If rulers are hidden, 'fit to window' works as expected.1 vote -

update link to illustrator 2017 sdk on https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html
The move from https://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk.html
to https://console.adobe.io/downloads/ai left behind a broken link to the 2017 sdk.
Easiest thing to do would be to update the 2017 sdk link on the old devnet page.1 voteWe are moving away from devnet to the Adobe io site. Moving forward that will the place to get all of Adobe SDK.
We also have an early access program for our plugin partners. You may join our prerelease site you will get SDK builds way before we release it on public facing pages.

Applescript convert to paths deletes image used as transparency mask
Since Illustrator 21.1.0 (okay before) there is an problem with Applescript command "convert to paths (every text frame of current document)"
If the text has an image as a transparency mask the script will delete the image. This does not happen if I do this manually within Illustrator. The problem still exists with the latest version of Illustrator.

Macbook completely crashes with Illustrator 2018
Hi, I'm using Illustrator 2018 and quite frequently my MacBook Pro 2017 crashes completely when I'm moving objects around or copying objects. It happened with the 2017 version as well. I can only hard reset my computer, which NEVER happens with other apps.

Create New
I have Illustrator 2018. Whenever I click create new, I'm expecting to see the full range of canvas options, but instead it's cut off at web (instead of including Art & Illustration canvases etc.). Resizing the window still cuts it off, and sometimes it'll fit but there will be white space instead of filling the window.

Many Many issues with Illustrator 2018
Ever since I've updated to Illustrator 2018, the program is always lagging and becomes non-responsive. Something simple like selecting "T" for a new text line will stall my program. I've attached my computer specs.
The alt shortcut for brush tool no longer selects color with the eye drop tool. I have to manually select the eyedropper, then switch back to the brush tool which is very frustrating when I need to do this hundreds of times a day!
The startup time has increased dramatically. Showing a blank screen for a couple minutes until the illustrator home screen finally appears. Also…

Align not working when ALL items in a group are selected
Since updating to CC 2018, align to selection and align to artboard are not working when ALL items in a group are selected.
Align appears to work if ALL BUT ONE item in the group are selected ... but if the final item is selected, it stops working ... nothing happens.
This is not ideal as it means you then have to align the remaining item with the rest of the group manually ... with transform or by eye.
8 votesHi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side and behavior is similar to Illustrator CC 2017 version. If you think behavior is changed in Illustrator CC 2018 kindly share a small video of Illustrator CC 2017 behavior and Illustrator CC 2018 behavior at sharewithai@adobe.com so I can further investigate it.
Please do mention the link of this thread so we can identify you
