Saving a file should not highlight the extension When saving (copy, exporting, etc), the save box highlights the extension. This should not happen. Soon as you choose a different format, the extension is no longer highlighted (which is good and how it should be). The extension should not be highlighted. This Illustrator bug happened after the Mac Catalina update.

When a document using Japanese TrueType font is opened in different OS environment, font warning is given When Japanese TrueType font is used in a document and opened in different OS environment,
Even though you have installed the same font, you will get a font warning when you open it.
Screenshots are created on Windows and open on macOS. But the opposite is also true.- Create a file in Windows environment and save it using related fonts
- When 1 is opened in macOS environment, the corresponding font is displayed as a font problem.
- Open Font Search after opening has not caused any problems
There are three types of fonts used, but problems occur with Japanese fonts or…

Illustrator 23.0.1 crashing almost immediately after launch I am running Mojave 10.14.2 (system screenshot attached). Every time I start Illustrator, it runs for 5-10 seconds and then crashes. There are no error messages; it just dies. The same thing happens with InDesign. Photoshop appears to run without issue.
I have tried looking for updates in the CC app, but it says that the programs are all up to date.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software, but the issue remains.
I have seen responses for similar issues where Adobe techs say that the issue has been fixed on version 23.0.1, but that is not the case;…

Color panel switches from secondary display to the primary display I run 2 monitors in Windows 7, most typically with my artboard window on the left (display 'A'), and a layout of panels on the right (display 'B').
Not sure whether it started with this immediately after installing 2019, but today, any click on a Fill/Stroke proxy, either the one in the Color panel, or the one at the bottom of the Tools panel, the Color panel instantly jumps from display B to (the same position on) display A.
So here's the normal state:

AI 23.0 crashes when drag-copying simple objects when yo have HotDoor's CADtools installed Since I installed version 23.0 it frequently and repeatably crashes when drag-copying even the simplest objects. In the latest example it was a line segment -- two connected vertices. After recovering, I rebuilt the objects and tried again -- same result. This is such a basic operation that I do it without thinking -- having it cause an instant crash is very debilitating to my workflow.

Artboard tooltip cannot be dismissed When I double click on an Artboard to open its properties, I receive a blue tooltip "Shift-click to select multiple artboards. Alternatively, Shift-drag to draw a marquee...". However, I am unable to dismiss this tooltip because the Artboard Options dialog is open, and that is at the highest z-index, and I cannot interact with any other interface unless I dismiss this dialog.

Set Area Type width to larger than 13.888 inches via Type->Area Type Options... dialog Though the type tool can draw area type boxes of any size, the width property of the Area Type Options dialog box can only be set up to 13.888 inches. This means that for any wider area type, whenever you change a property within the Area Type Options it will be resized to 13.888 inches wide.
This is not a new problem as seen in this thread started in 2010: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/701249.
I often work on area type larger than this seemingly arbitrary limit. If I adjust the columns, gutters, inset or any other property found within the Area Type…

Bugs in the Properties panel In Illustrator CC 2018 (Windows), the Properties panel does not scale in width, so it can not be grouped with other panels (when switching, all panels become equal to the Properties panel in width).
In the transformation section of the object in the Properties panel, you can not change the size proportionally using the Ctrl + Enter shortcut. In the Transformation panel, you can do this.

This issue is fixed by Intel in their latest driver update (15.46.02.4729 – released on 11 JUL 2017 ) available at – https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26941/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-46-?product=88358
This update cannot show up driver search, as it might take some time for Microsoft to get it integrated in their Surface Pro driver updates. Microsoft prevents installing driver directly from Intel if you try the installer directly, however latest driver from Intel can be installed with steps listed in section “Update video adapter device drivers” > “Intel (Surface Pro devices)” in below link

SVG export for screens not working properly. Windows 11 22000.556 / Illustrator 26.1
Hi there,
The SVG file exported through "Export for screens" is corrupted when opened with any web browser, Illustrator or Photoshop.
I managed to export it properly by installing an older version of Illustrator (26.0.3). Previously I tried uninstalling and installing version 26.1, restarting the computer, etc and it didn't work.
Best,

Unwanted automatic grouping of compound paths with blob brush tool When I draw too close to an existing path/compound path with the blob brush, it automatically groups the two (SEPERATE!) path together.
It is "solved" if I check "merge only with selection" but that is not a real fix.https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/unwanted-grouping/m-p/12309007#M286929 see this thread for more on this issue.

Incorrect size for a group with an ellipse I have a number of 5mm ellipse selected - these should have a complete height of 65mm when selected. But illustrator has ignored the white space between, giving a height 10mm less than it should be!

MacOS Big Sur rendering bug. Hi!
I am an apple developer and I installed Big Sur beta (now on version 3) for work. I run into a problem with Illustrator that other people are not seeing. If I open one file everything is OK. When opening two or more files, I get a really nasty visual problem, with Illustror only. See file attached. Is anybody else having this problem, is there a way to fix it? I reinstalled Illustrator and it keeps happening.10 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminRama (Mgr, Software Quality Engineering, Adobe Illustrator) responded

Bug: Shift + clicking anchor point with Delete Anchor Point tool doesn't retain curve shape 24.1.1 on Windows 10 and Mac Mojave
In CC 2020, Shift + clicking an anchor point with the Delete Anchor Point tool is supposed to work like the Simplify Path tool -- the shape of the curve shouldn't change. But even on a path with redundant anchors, this new shortcut doesn't work. The curve changes shape as in previous versions.
