Simplify preview problem
When I choose Path > Simplify… and have the preview button checked, the simplification happens as many times as I adjust the percentage. ie it will simply to 99% and the 97% of 99%.
Whether I click OK or Cancel, all of the actions have been performed and I have to press undo until it is back to normal.
This problem arrived at the same time as the scale/rotate/reflect etc preview issue (which have now been fixed thank god).1 voteHi,

Show Character Alternates
"Show Character Alternates" checkbox under the Type preference pane is not clickable. While trying to disable the annoying Glyph popup window I discovered that I cannot change this preference setting. I was able to change the setting by manually directly editing Illustrators preference file manually which reflects the change when relaunching the program, however it can not be changed through the UI.

Some of AI file paths disappear when exporting to PNG or JPG
A simple AI file containing the logo and text (all outlined) is saved fine as AI or PDF, but if I try to export it to PNG or JPG, some of the paths contained within the image disappear and are not rendered in the resulting raster file. I am attaching the master AI file, and the rendered PNG file (created by going to File > Export As > PNG). As you will see, the rendered PNG file is missing the ALFRA name within the square white shape. FYI, I sent the file over to a friend of mine and he…

Why did you add a stroke to the Layer Thumbnail of empty layers?
In previous versions of Illustrator, if you deleted all the content of a layer or sublayer, you could immediately see that it was empty because its thumbnail in the Layers palette lost its stroke. Now all layer thumbnails have a border regardless. This was a very useful feature, and I can't imagine why it would deliberately be removed. Can you please add it back?

Guides with an angle won't move when zoomed in 300% or more (Illustrator CC 23.0.3)
I hope I chose the right category.
Illustrator will not allow me to move smart guides that have any angle to them when Im zoomed in to 300% or more. This is extremely "I about to break my keyboard" frustrating. This seems to be an on going issue that is "patched" but re-emerges with every other update!1 vote -
Double Tool Bars
My current build of Adobe Illustrator is displaying two toolbars, side by side, one minimized and one expanded. I'm assuming this is a bug. I reset the essentials tool bar and re-installed illustrator but the problem persists. See the left side of the attached screenshot
1 voteThere are multiple ways to resolve this
1. Reset workspace Essentials
2. Dragout the extra toolbar from dock and then close it
3. Reset preference (not recommended unless necessary)

Prefix in graphs
Using a prefix for the axis in a graph works fine, but only with positive numbers. Negative numbers soon get into trouble however. $-50 is not helpful at all.

Rearrange All Artboards ignores locked layers
When I use the command Rearrange All Artboards from the Artboards panel object on locked layers are not moved with the artboard.
To test make a document with two artboards and two layers. Draw anything on Layer 1 for each artboard them copy it exactly to Layer 2, or just duplicate Layer 1. Hide or lock a layer then use Rearrange All Artboards to rearrange the dartboards. The objects on the locked or hidden layers do not move with the artboard.
The two screenshots show before and after using Rearrange All Artboards with one layer locked.

Shear in Transform Panel doesn't add numbers
In the Transform Panel I use the mouse wheel to adjust the Shear of an object but it does not show the degrees that it is moving. The object does adjust but the panel only reports 0°. As I scroll with the mouse wheel I can see the number flickering. When I click on the selection arrow I can select a number but that only adds to the number of degrees instead of telling me how many degrees I have adjusted it. I have attached a short video where I am adjusting the shear using the mouse wheel

Saving switches a layer back on
When saving in Illustrator 2019 a layer that was switched off becomes visible again. Only a minor problem I guess, but is part of a growing list of things that don't work in the latest version.

Negative Offset not functioning using Pica
When units are set to Pica
Create a shape, choose Object Menu > Path > Offset Path. Input a negative number and move to Miter Limit. Number changes to a positive.
Select the input field again and use arrow keys to create a negative number. Number changes to a positive.
Use a negative number from with circumstance and click okay. Object obtains an offset path equal to the positive number (not negative).
This behavior is preventing me from doing my work!

No Response when saving/printing files
Every time I attempt to save a file in Illustrator or Photoshop the system (Windows 10) hangs and shows 'no response'. It clears itself after a couple of minutes and then works normally. It will hang like this while I am printing as well. Our Level 1 tech has not been able to find the problem and it is becoming frustrating when attempting to work on a project. I have uninstalled and re-installed the programs twice as well as reinstalling the operating system to no effect. I have also tried rolling back to an earlier version which also has no…

Default saving SVGs to profile 1.1 Tiny
We develop an image set of currently 42,000 SVG files for our software.
It is important that the file format is 1.1 Tiny, not 1.1.
When creating and editing files illustrator keeps resetting to 1.1 in the save dialogue. Also when I open a file, edit and click save, sometimes it is also saves as 1.1. This is causing lots of problems.
Is there or can you add a way to make the 1.1 tiny profile default? or even remove the other profiles completely?1 vote -
Missing image link when pasting
When I select artwork in one open document, select copy and then paste into another document, Illustrator cannot find the image links.
However, when I drag the artwork from one document to another there is no problem.
Congratulations to Adobe in breaking records for the most buggy version of Illustrator so far!1 vote -
