Restart every 1 min to fix a bug – Illustrator Font Panel Bug
Adobe Illustrator always show the default font Myriad Pro no matter which typeface/font you are using. Also Fonts and weights that you are using disappear from the dropdown of the font.
The only way of fixing it is to restart illustrator every 1 min.

AI from PDF keeps old thumbnail/preview
I often get someone's source documentation in PDF.
Yes, we should get source. No, it seems we can't get the soruce.
So - I open the PDF in Illustrator and save the useful chunks - graphics mostly - as separate files in .ai format, pdf-compatable.
For whatever reason, those docs usually will not preview correctly in Win Explorer or when browsing from ID to place as a graphic.
It seems there's some preview/thumbnail info from the original PDF that lingers in the AI file - even though it was a multi-page file, and I'm only using a piece of it…

Problem syncing with CC Files on startup (sometimes!!)
Well the title says it all, really!
It looks like I have NO files in the cloud. But not all the time. Restarting Illustrator sometimes solves the problem.
I reïnstalled the program, have the latest updates, etc...
Maybe I overlook something?
Thank you.2 votes -
Align to artboard not working for svgs added through File/Place
I added an svg to use (with File/Place) and wanted it to be centered. After clicking to align to artboard and clicking the Horizintal Align Center button it never actually centers. It moves a bit each click until it stops working all together (almost parabolic as seen in the attached gif).
Everything worked fine on objects created from within that file

Screen flashes with large slice in screen
I am using Adobe Illustrator CC version 22.1. I open a new document, and no matter what the content, the screen flashes in and out and then a large triangle shaped slice appears in the screen. I cannot use Illustrator at this point. This program costs way too much money for this. Please see attached.

Font increase/decrease arrows in character panel immediately closes character panel
Select text in an art board, when the character panel appears in the properties panel, and you then try and click/hold the text size arrows, they don't work and instantly close the character panel. Feels like a bug because I was able to use this workflow before to adjust the size of properly selected text.

Slow on iMac
I have just bought a new iMac Retina 5K 27-inch (2017) with i5 3,4 processor, 16 gb of Ram, Raedon Pro 570 with 4 GB.
Illustrator is very very slow... the files I have are simple vector only with no effects and simple paths. The files are local.
I have a low spec 5 year old pc laptop, the files run better on that...

A clip group containing a compound path that borders an artboard often gets stuck as selected
A clip group containing a compound path that borders an artboard often gets stuck as selected. Scaling the clip group (then undoing) causes the group to become unstuck as selected.

I have Illustrator CC, I have tried the work around of Ctrl+E then Ctrl+Y.
Outline mode displays the lines but freeze and won’t allow the color to leave the image or the lines to be manipulated.

I have shut down and reopened files 8 times and started again three times on new art board. This problem has gone on for two days. I had…2 votes -

Exporting Issue
Whenever I go to export a file, the exported image shows a non existent image/layer that is not in or showing on the document when open.
The first image below shows what I export from illustrator, the second is what I screenshot inside the file, aka what I'm trying to have as the exported image.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, it would be greatly appreciated if you can help out a guy with no ideas on how to fix it.
Thank you

- 22.1
- Just minutes ago I posted that shift-command-N did nothing instead of opening a new document from my templates. This time I manually went to the file menu to achieve this. Then after opening my template, I needed to place a graphic and used the prescribed shortcut shift-command-P…
- And instead of opening the Place dialog box…
- NOW my computer is trying to open a new document from my templates. I have restarted Illustrator and this still is happening. I double checked my shortcut editor and the shortcuts are still set to adobe defaults.
