Brush edge dissapears. Can't see the shape of my brush. Randomly.
Cannot see the outline of my brush. Randomly it dissapears. It would be great if I was into random looks to what I do. But I'm not.
In fact, I'll hazard a guess that not many people paying close to £50/month are very into randomly varying results.

The latest updates
I've missed advert deadlines, because even though I'm on the newest Macbook pro, Photoshop and Illustrator have been dysfuntional, with artboards glitching, font sizes not being adjustable and glitching to the maximum size before telling me the font's too big.
On top of this, the work often dissapears when zooming in and fonts do not sync with your type app.
So I pay money for a subscription because you are industry standard, yet I've now missed deadlines, been hung up on three times by your support staff and failed to receive confirmation that you are at least attempting to solve…

Smart Guides not working in Illustrator CC 2018 even after I turn on snap to pixel
Smart Guides had not worked for me in a long time now. I update illustrator regulary and have snap to pixel turned off.
I have been using illustrator for over 13 years so I know all the tricks and methods and this drives me nuts.
In Sketchapp for example I select the object, hold the alt key and it will show me all the margins and distances around the selected object. That is a time saver.

Incorrect file sizes
Importing work into After Effects adds 6 pixels to the file size — very generous. This software keeps on giving.

Using idropper to copy text settings cause the text and text box to disappear. Amazing! Great feature.

Just wanted to know that are you still facing this issue? In which version are you facing this? Is it happening with any specific font?
Thanks

Stroke/Fill Color Selections
I miss being able to just drag a fill color to the stroke box or vice versa. It is tedious to have the extra clicks to get the same results

most fonts not rendering
I have to continually uninstall and reinstall 75% of my fonts! They show up in the panel, but do not render when selected. This is way beyond aggravating and is taking up hours of my time daily.
These are fonts on my hard drive, not typekit or any other font service. using Windows 10 and Illustrator CC 2018 (happened intermittently with 2017, now it's everytime I open Illustrator or let it sit open for more than a few hours)2 votesClosing the ticket since didn’t hear back from customer.

EPS saving as AI or PDF bug
Hi When saving an EPS file to either AI or PDF downloaded from a stock site I have had issues with both the on screen preview and print from InDesign. When I save it as an EPS again it appears to regain the proper appearance both on screen and in print. Is there a transparency issue when converting an EPS to AI or PDF?

Illustrator menus won't scale down on external monitor for Lenovo Yoga
I am running Illustrator 2018 on my new Lenovo Yoga laptop. I am using external monitors and when using Illustrator on those external monitors, the menu's are bloated as if they were still retaining the "touch enabled" versions rather than the standard desktop versions. This is very annoying and I would greatly appreciate a fix. Thank you.

Illustrator freezes all the time
I am not able to use Illustrator at all. I have updated to the 2018 version. Every time I want to create new project or open existing one the program freezes. No matter if I have GPU Performance option on or off.

Join tool still drops selection.
It was reported already and reported as fixed, but in 2018 CC the bug is back, Join tool drops selection every time after it was used not allowing consequent connections without reselecting the whole curve every time.

Certain font styles are missing, like Montserrat Bold, Arial Bold, Myriad Condensed, etc.
I have ITC FrizQuadrata installed. This font family has 4 styles: normal, italic, bold and bold italic.
AI CC2017 does show all four.
CC2018 shows only one — 'ITC'.It doesn't show it when you type family name, it doesn't show other styles in drop-down style list.
If I copy/paste text with needed font family style from 2017 to 2018, AI will show me two identical font names but two different preview near them (and again no italics).-

Can't get rid 0.001
In the file, width of the clipping mask should be 550pt but it only stuck in 550.001pt. Want an explanation for this.
I could only create another rectangle in this case. But sometimes happened on some complicated shapes which was quite exhausted.

環境設定の変更が反映されなくなった
バージョン21.1.0
環境設定を変更した際に設定が反映されなくなりました。
・一般/キー入力の単位と角度の制限
・単位/一般と線
の設定を変えていたところ起きた事態です。線を描画する際に何度か角度を変える必要がありましたので、15分間くらいのうちに何回か設定の変更をしましたところ、途中から反映されなくなりました。
(角度の固定を30度や45度や0度に変更していたところ、0度にしても30度で固定されたままになりました)Illustratorを再起動したところ、解決しました。
