Illustrator 2021 and 2022 crash when trying to run an action from a script
Attempting to run any action from applescript or javascript is always resulting in Illustrator 2021 or 2022 immediately crashing for me.
I've tried on multiple computers, and running it on a fresh install of AI 2022 with no settings changed.
Tested on MacOS Mojave, Big Sur, and Monterrey
It doesn't matter which Action or Action Set is used, I've tried the included "Default Actions" and others.
The identical scripts work fine from AI CC2020 back to at least AI CS6.
For example, I can copy and paste this straight from Adobe's ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CC SCRIPTING REFERENCE: APPLESCRIPT:

some shortcut combinations don't work.
Hi. I found that some shortcut combinations don't work.
I use WIN10, Ai 2022, Korean."Ctrl+Shift+1", "Ctrl+Shift+5" don't work with the number keys on the right numberpad. (with upper numberpad, it does work well.)
(I assign them to adjust text size stuffs)
Is that a unique situation just on me?
Is there anyone who check these shortcut combination whether works or not?1 vote -
数字入力時のバグ
図形サイズや角度など、普段数字を入力するときはShiftキーなど同時に押す必要が無いが、逆にShiftキーを押しながら数字を打たないと、！や＄など約物を入力してしまう。キーボードの設定と逆になっていて大変使いづらい。

paragraph copy converts to individual letters, or small small groups of letters
I have noticed this issue with some increasing frequency: where paragraphs of copy suddenly appear as individual letters or small groupings. These letters all appear on their own layer. I am unable to grab all the text, or modify an entire word. Thankfully, I save rounds of files, or work by copy and pasting , so I'm generally able to grab copy from an older version, but this is maddening to say the least. I work as a packaging designer and it's crucial that copy remain editable. I have attached an image of the copy selected and highlighted little pink…

Artboard names change back to what it was after renaming
Working on a document with multiple artboards. After renaming several dartboards, their naming returns back to what it was before I renamed them.
I need the artboards to have specific names for exporting to SVG. So this is really frustrating.9 votes -

Dialogue Boxes not opening
I am running Illustrator 26.5 on macOS Montery 12.6 and no dialogue boxes are opening. I have to restart Illustrator in order to save, export, etc. Once I force quit, if a file has been recovered, when I got to save that file, Illustrator crashes, and I am unable to save (as the cycle just continues).

26.5 Can not change text box's language in the Character Panel
When I highlight text or select a textbox I can not change the language in the dropdown menu located in the character panel. When I am editing, all my textboxes and either English: USA or Ukrainian and I can not change them. My default is English: USA but for some reason half of my text is labeled Ukrainian and the Auto Spellchecker is saying every English word is misspelled.

v26.5 on Mac OSX is very slow, generally.
v26.x is generally way slower than v25.4.8, but some features, like freeform gradient, are unusably slow. It takes couple of seconds to recalculate even a simple gradient with just 3-4 points. Same goes with applying wariable width stroke profile to multiple objects or a nested group. In 25.4.8 those tasks are instantaneous, in 26.5 they can even cause "spinning beach ball of doom" and take minutes to resolve.

Text center alignment off
I'm on the most up-to-date version of Illustrator (26.5). Whenever I try to center text within a box, the x and y coordinates are slightly off for the text. For example, say my box is at 100.5 px on the x-axis and 100.5 px on the y-axis. When I center the text over the box (using Align Objects tool), the text box coordinates are 100.6904 px, 101.2729 px. Before I updated Illustrator, the text coordinates would always match the box coordinates. Even though the numbers are only off slightly, it is visibly noticeable that the text isn't perfectly aligned.

Copy and Paste Appearance into Photoshop Not working
Update: I just noticed that this problem only occurs when I've applied the appearance effect to the entire layer as opposed to each individual stroke.
When I edit a brush stroke appearance on illustrator, that appearance doesn't carry over when pasting into Photoshop like it used to. I've tried turning on ACIB preserve appearance, but that doesn't work. The only workaround is if I expand the brush stroke (which is getting tiresome because I do this quite often).
Another issue: When working on one layer with multiple brush strokes, I attempted to expand that one stroke, but every single stroke…

Illustrator changes Tiny SVG headers
(1.) Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.19042 and Illustrator 26.5
(2.) open file, then "save as" > SVG Tiny 1.2
(3.) SVG header contains: xmlns:x="&nsextend;" xmlns:i="&nsai;" xmlns:graph="&ns_graphs;"
(4.) previous SVG Tiny 1.2 headers never contained the xmlns information in (3.)
(5.) see uploaded filesPlease do not advise me on how to use (or not use) SVG files. It is just about the program (Illustrator) changing its settings for SVG headers.

Localization bug with variable font panel
As shown, this is a variable font with 3 axes, the second axis is named "Italic", but it is incorrectly displayed as a localized text. I'm sure there is no localized name for this axis in the font file.
The font file can be downloaded from here: https://symphosizer.wearecollins.com/fonts/ABCSymphonyDisplayVariable.ttf

Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty
If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.
Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.
So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

When a crash happens, the Recent Files lists get reset to the state they had on launch
File > Open Recent Files list and a Recent files at home screen don’t get recorded somewhere safe as soon as a document gets opened.
So each time Illustrator crashes (and sadly it’s a ordinary way and the only reason for Illustrator to get relaunched), both lists get lost — Illustrator shows them in the state they had when the program was closed successfully.
Illustrator should update and store these lists as soon as they change and don’t loose them on crash.

Delete Artboards command can’t be recoded in actions
You can’t force Illustrator to record a deletion of artboards in an action, whatever method you use — a button in the panel, a panel’s menu, with or without Insert Menu Item workaround.
How stupid is this.EVERYTHING is Illustrator should be recordable.
