GPU continues to randomly turn only white to black (not inverting!)
an ongoing issue with CC is the random and unprovoked flipping of Black to white on screen. Only the color white does this. This is not a case of color being inverted. It is only white in a file that suddenly turns black and then needs to be closed and reopened to fix.

Illustrator stops, not responding
Operating system is Windows 7 Enterprise, Illustrator is CC 2018 or 2019. I begin to work for only 15 sec and then the program pauses with the blue spinning wheel. If I click again the screen shows a (not responding) title at the top and goes grey. This process takes another 15 sec and then snaps back into place and works again, but only for another 15 sec and repeats. I've opened and closed the program several times and also restarted the computer but no change. This only happens in Illustrator and no other CC programs I use. Any ideas…

Editing Character Styles Does Not Trigger Content Change
Renaming a character style does not trigger content change.
Thus, the asterisk does not appear above the file name (indicating content change), File/Save or CMD/CTRL-S are ineffective, and if one closes and re-opens the file the old names are still there.
Have not checked Paragraph styles, or styles in other Adobe apps, but assume this bug would present there as well.

Illustrator and Adobe apps are slow on retina display
Hi All!
I have an issue with Illustrator (23.0.2) on my brand new 15" retina Macbook Pro 2018 (latest edition 2,6GHz i7, 16GB ram, RadeonPro 560X).
I've seen lot of similar issues here, but I would like to say about an interesting thing.
If I moving around in a document or zoom in/out (simple or complex), it works really slow. If I switch to GPU preview, it's much better, but in CPU preview it's horrible and unusable.
Bigger problem is that on my previous 13" MacbookPro (2012 mid, 2,9Ghz i7) without dedicated graphics card everything works fine (in CPU and…

workspace options not available
I can't figure this out. Clearly someone else has had this issue, but there is no published solution. From your archive:
"Workspaces not working, all panels hidden on start up.
Just update to CC23.0.1 and when I start up Illustrator all the panels are turned off and my workspace won't change or reset.I can turn on the panels manually, but it resets when I close Illustrator. The reset, new workspace and manage workspaces options are greyed out. If I try to change the workspace nothing happens.

eps import slow (e.g. for eps created in Matlab)
The import of eps-files created in other programs (e.g. Matlab) is slow: opening a file of 10 kb can take 10-30 seconds. Why?
I am using AI CC 22.1.

Cannot update links from links panel
Cannot update links by clicking "update" icon in links panel or by going to panel menu > Update Links. They do nothing. I have to wait until AI shows the "Some links need updating..." alert and then confirm to update or I have to close/open the file.
What the heck happened in the latest update(s)? Feels like all of the panels are super busted.

Illustrator Not Responding
My illustrator program says that it is not responding every time I save. It eventually works but takes 10 or so minutes to save each time. Which is a huge draw back because if I like to save a lot to ensure the safety of my files it impacts my performance by slowing me down.
I am working off of a server but I don't think that would effect my save proformance.
I've checked the Nvidia pannel and set my GTX graphics card as default just in case as well.
I have a cpu and memory meter that aren't showing…

Colored text randomly changing to black
Mac OS 10.12.6 with Illustrator CC 2019
Since December text has been randomly changing to black. It happens with bullets more frequently, but sometimes two words in a paragraph will turn black. This happens frequently when I reopen files but also while I'm working.
Sometimes (but not always) when I change the color back with the eyedropper, it still shows up black in the Appearance panel (see photo).
My 2 coworkers are also having this issue.
I don't know if it's related, but I'm also having a problem with cutting (CTRL-X) objects. Simple shapes and text will temporarily not allow…

Illustrator CC 23.0.2 does not open files and cannot start new file. Toolbars and Menus are inaccessable.
All I can see after opening or trying to open files is a window that is hiding parts of illustrator file - I can see part of this on the right side and on bottom. No menus or tools are available to use, and the progress wheel just keeps spinning. Very frustrating. I am using my Illustrator CC 23.0.2 on IMac OS 10.14.3. I have updated Illus CC, restarted the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted computer, etc. I have had to resort to using Illus CS6 in order to work. The attached image is what I get when trying to…

Can't open .dwg files all of a sudden
Ai CC 2019 - Can no longer open dwg files - the error is "unknown file format" the old work around used to be to save the .dwg & all xref's to a 2010 version and it would open. Super frustrating as this has occurred in the middle of a project. How to get the dwg's compatible again?
3 votesPlease email a dwg that was opening in CC 2018 but not on CC 2019.

Type tool
Idk about anyone else. But since I updated Illustrator, my Type Tool has been slowing down my computer to the point where it almost crashes whenever I am using the tool. Clicking ANYTHING or highlighting type causes the "spinning ball" to pop up instantly, and sometimes not even highlighting the selection I want!
Thoughts?

Cursor location offset from mouse. Cannot select or use illustrator effectively.
I am on Creative Cloud version Version 23.0.1. I am having a problem from the moment I open Illustrator that the mouse and cursor do not synchronise. The cursor actually selects something completely offset from what I am trying to select. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as just restarting. Nothing is resetting it to work correctly.

GPU preview glitch
I encounter this glitch since introduction of GPU preview.
Only now I managed to narrow down the conditions to replicate it.When the Control pane is switched off (Window > Control), and Screen Mode is in Fullscreen Mode with Menu Bar, then when the working area is scrolled down, black horisontal lines appear. As if they are somehow traced by the top edge of the working area. Once I zoom out/in, they disappear. Also switching to CPU preview removes the glitch all together. This appears on both retina and non-retina displays.
This does not happen when the Control pane is…

Fonts you use disappearing
First, I have done everything the Adobe support team told me and it didn't fix the problem. I have also reset Illustrator multiple times and re-install it and it didn't fix the problem. I also have no control an any Issues that I'm having so I can't tell you what I do that causes the problem it happens randomly like all Issues that I have shared and haven't shared yet.
I have attached a screenshot of the Issue that makes it clear whats happen with random fonts (typekit included).
