Uninstalling Duet Display fixes Premiere and Illustrator crash on file open and file create
I spent an hour trying to get Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere to simply open a file or create a new file. They would both crash immediately with the dialogue box that sends a crash report.
I uninstalled without saving settings and reinstalled both. I also ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool These made no difference.
Finally, on a hunch I uninstalled Duet Display, a program that allows you to use an iOS device as a second monitor. This fixed the issue.

Illustrator Crashing when opening files
When I'm working in Illustrator and I have another file I want to open, I'll double-click open a file and Illustrator will stop responding. I'll need to quit using the task manager and open the files again.
I had a work-around of opening a file from File > Open, but now that just crashed my illustrator file as well.
I'm working on Windows 10. Unfortunately I can't share my files, but it's been happening across several projects. Can't pin-point a specific issue.

Illustrator freezes - must close using Task Manager
Illustrator freezes, menus not accessible and/or if they open, it is blank. I can still select items on the artboard, but cannot use anything in menus and tools. Once Illustrator freezes, I cannot close unless I use the Task Manager.

Making a button - Changing stroke on text to shape adds extra point [BUG]
- Illustrator CC 2018
- I was trying to make a scalable button with the text tool:
Used text tool to write "Label", then in the appearance panel I added a stroke under Characters and then turned it into a rounded rectangle and adjusted the size to the desired shape. This did what I want, except it added an extra point it seems that causes an artifact in the shape. Is there any way you could fix this to close the shape properly/ also be able to adjust the stroke alignment for this.
- Expected a nice smooth pill shaped button

Font Drop Down List - HUGE
My font drop-down list in Illustrator huge. I can scroll through the list and select a font, but if I search for a font my list gets cut-off and I can't scroll or arrow down past where it gets cut off. I'm on the most recent and updated version of Illustrator, I've restarted my computer, and uninstalled and re-installed Illustrator. This is only happening in Illustrator. It's been a couple of days that I've noticed this bug. I'm working on a PC. I'm working on a company computer and a company licensed version of Adobe CC.

Illustrator crashing repeatedly
Since upgrading to the previous release of Illustrator (current version 22.0.1) Illustrator has been crashing repeatedly. Sometimes for no reason, but most frequently on Save (Cmd+S or menu item). This occurs roughly 30 times per day.
Since updating to 22.0.1 when Illustrator crashes it also deletes all preferences in eluding keyboard shortcuts, user interface settings, file handling, performance - all of it.
Every time the programs crashes it leaves [random string].tmp files in the original files location.
I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall on Illustrator, a seperate complete uninstall and reinstall of Creative Cloud and all apps -…

Phantom lines at 315° are drawn in Outline mode at large zoom levels
Illustrator CC 22.0.1 This has happened occasionally in the past few versions.
I'll create an object with the pen tool, and close the object. When I zoom to make modifications on the path I sometimes see a path shoot off to the right at ~315° from one of the anchor points and it looks like the path connecting two anchor points isn't there. As I move it around or zoom out it'll disappear, but if I move back it comes back. Editing the object isn't affected, but it is highly visually distracting. Attached video file illustrates.-

Preferences reset to default... EVERY time I open Illustrator
Every time I open Illustrator, all preferences are reset to the defaults. EVERY preference, EVERY time. I've saved custom workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, etc. and those are available to be activated, every time I open the application.

I do NOT have the option to install the latest patch; I don't even have access to menu item "Check for Updates."

Bug: Object Coordinates Not Aligning with Page
When trying to align two groups of objects, the coordinates in relation to the actual position on the page do not match the coordinates in the Y axis value box. (see attached images)
The top edge of the object is -108", the middle is 5.5" (actual is ~3.5") and the bottom edge is 119" on an 8.5x11" layout.
Details:
* It happens when the group of objects on the layer is selected
* Objects did not indicate any parts outside of it's rectangle selection area that would throw off the measurements (triple checked)

New version randomly and continually changing position of endpoints
I have a large map I'm working on that's doing a strange thing ever since AI CC's last update (21.1.0).
After the update, Illustrator seemed to change the "Arrowheads" (circles in the case of this file) position at the end of SOME, but not all, of my lines. As far as I could tell, the unwanted and automatic change was completely random. Worse yet, it seems to be continuing at random, as though AI has developed an AI intended to drive me insane.
Anyone else experiencing this? (In the sample screenshot, the circles at the ends of the lines representing…

Pattern Brush Problem with Expand Appearance
I want to paint a topographic card (map) with complex Strokes for the streets and rivers and so on.
After creating different Pattern Brushes i would create a solid line for export to an other program.
After choosing the Stroke with an used Pattern Brush i would "expand appearance" for getting a clean version without strokes.
The Result is a lot of segmented curves and destroyed formes.1 vote -
