pathfinder, file sizes, interface changes
case # 018 9255 921
Pathfinder does not function properly in Illustrator CC 2017 on my 4 ghz i7 (late 2015) imac. OSX 10.11.16; AMD Radeon R9 M395 2048 MB, forcing me to fall back and work in old Illustrator CS6.When I divide two shapes or paths (particularly curves, ellipes etc), the anchor points sometimes move, and paths (curves, angles etc) change. Very sloppy, "kind-of, sort-of" results, with an absolute lack or precision.
CS6 and earlier versions did not have this problem. It is intermittent and unpredictable, but troublesome enough as to render CC 2017 unusable and made me have to revert to using CS6 to finish project.
File size: I am noticing that relartively simple vector that would have been a few KB, maybe a couple hundred KB, are frequently saving at 1 or more MB.
Why are the files so large?
I called this in today, but the level 1 customer support person wasn't very helpful, and Indian accent didn't improve the situation.
I am also having numerous problems with changes in basic interface between CS6 and CC 2017.
The overall effect being that, functionally, CC 2017 is a substantial downgrade from CS6.
Are there any good intros or primers on transitioning and dealing with interface changes?

Expanded Objects have missing Corner Widgets
Problem occurs in all versions of Illustrator 21.x.x and 22.x.x
When an Object with a non-simple Appearance is Expanded the resulting shapes have Corner Widgets created for some of the corners but not for others.
All corners should have Corner Widgets.
When an Object with a non-simple Appearance is Expanded the resulting shapes have Corner Widgets created for some of the corners but not for others. I don't understand why when I expand a rectangle I get a new rectangle with 3 corners that have Corner Widgets but the 4th corner doesn't have a Corner Widget - how can it be that it works correctly for some corners but not others?! It seems incredible that such a simple and common operation doesn't work correctly.

GPU Performance stops working when enabled
Illustrator 21.1.0 (64-bit)
GPU Performance shuts off whenever I open a file. I have to close the file, turn off GPU Performance (yes, turn it OFF in preferences), then turn it ON again, then reopen my file to get it working again. I've been complaining about this for months, and Adobe has ignored my complaints. All updates including drivers have been installed and I've completely removed and reinstalled Illustrator.

User Guide Correction - Broken Links
The section of the user guide called Painting > Gradients is full of nothing but broken links. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/gradients.html
Your links all just forward to http://create.adobe.com/ and http://tv.adobe.com/vi+f1586v1019
which isn't helpful at all if you're trying to read the user guide in any meaningful way. Of course I can google ways to use the gradient tools but I came to you for the definitive "adobe prescribed" version of information as a way to prepare for your ACE exams. I know I'm not the only one who does this to bone up so if someone could help fix broken links it would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!The section of the user guide called Painting > Gradients is full of nothing but broken links. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/gradients.html

Could not read file because the plug in did not understand this file
Not sure what is happening. I was able to open files before but now I receive a message
15 votesCompleted (Comments Open) · AdminRama (Mgr, Software Quality Engineering, Adobe Illustrator) respondedDocument recovery is now built inside Illustrator to recover incomplete/corrupt documents. Illustrator first tries to fix and open the native Illustrator document, if that fails then the PDF part of the document is recovered if it is available. Illustrator shows message to the user if any of the above attempts fails to recover the document.

「移動」の不具合
1.Illustrator CC 2017(〜2014)
2. 「移動」で垂直方向(上)にオブジェクトを移動した後、マイナス方向(下)に移動させようとすると、マイナスが効かずそのまま上方へ移動してしまう。
3.4 .2を解除するには一旦別の数値を入力した後、再度マイナス方向の数値を入力すればリセットされて正常に動きますが、その入力がいちいち面倒臭い。1 vote -

Blob Brush changes size after undo operation
Illustrator CC 2017.1.0
I Select blob brush on 2pt.
Draw a bit with it
Hit undo and the blob brush suddenly changes to a much larger size even though it says 2pt in the menu
The only way to get it back is to go to Blob brush menu, select 1pt hit ok, then go back to blob brush menu and select 2pt again.
I expect that when I hit undo the blob brush will stay the correct size
It changes size every time I hit undo

Selection Stuck
Often when I select multiple object one will remain selected no matter where I click and what else I select. I have to "select all" then clink in blank space to get everything un selected. It's wasting a lot of time.

I have Windows 7, 64bit, running Illustrator CC and all of a sudden today I am not able to use the text tool and when I try to use the select tool on certain areas of the file the error message comes up that I attached to this.

Concentric Text
Your recent Free template "Old Jazz and Blues" obviously is a poor design because the text on line pieces are not concentric, which presumably is what the artist intended. This free template is consequently quite useless for a professional designer.

AI CC2017 has flatten my work file into an image automatically
Illustrator 21.1.0
I use a lot of paths and layers to create effects in AI, once done I saved it. When i reopen it to edit some features, I was shocked that it flatten all my paths into an image! Nothing I can do but re-do it, painful experience!!
I re-do (painfully), saved, reopen.....it works fine. I used that AI file to do adaptation, by copy the whole layers (file A) and paste to other AI file art board (file B).
But when I reopen file B to further edit, file B has turn into a flatten image....again. Luckily file A still working fine.
I tried copy file A to file C (new document file).....the result is even weird. Some group in layers has flatten, but some are not.
I use the same save/ export steps like CS5. I didn't touch any setting in save dialogue. I was not able to figure out why it flatten when I close the file.
I should be able to amend the AI CC, the software shouldn't flatten it automatically. It caused me into a big trouble.
AI CC flatten my paths, groups, layers....randomly.
