Overall dissatisfaction with Illustrator
The frequency of issues is just staggering. Files freeze on open, freeze on save, struggle with server connections, never seem to remember any recent files, or you just seem to get a beach ball for minutes on end with no clue if you need to restart or if you should just wait it out. I use illustrator more than any program and it sometimes ends up being my biggest hindrance.

File Not Rendering From Cold Start
Opening an illustrator file while Illustrator is closed will load Illustrator as normal but won't render the file once its loaded. The file is open but refuses to show with only the Recent files/New file screen showing, but with all the UI for a working file.
Only way to gain access is to force quit Illustrator and load it without opening a file.

Text Styles from library not applying to new text in Document
When I try to apply text and paragraph styles from CC Library to new text it doesn't work. The text doesn't change.
I have tried selecting the text with subselect tool, the text tool, double clicking the style in the library, right clicking the style in the library to apply to new text. It doesn't work, it used to.
I have CC version 2019

Can't file save as (illustrator files, pdf, eps etc), also can't open ai files
I can't save my files as any file types, I can export to png and jpeg, but when I try to save a file it just shows the spinning ball forever and does not save! It is not my laptop, as everything thing else is working as normal (including other Adobe programs which save files quickly)
If I also try and open an existing file it does the same thing!
I have tried re installing Illustrator which hasn't helped.My laptop is a Macbook pro mid 2012 (Mojave 10.14.1) with a new ssd installed. Adobe Illustrator is the lateset version…

GPU bug?
Can't select and release objects in illustrator, seems like the mouse button is pressed throughout. issue ends once clicked on Finder and out of illustrator. Issue started a few weeks after upgrading to Mojave and the CUDA NVIDIA driver couldn't be updated anymore.
Using Illustrator 2015.3 (as this used to support my GPU animated preview)
Tried reinstalling a few times and problems still persist.
Working on XD now, can't use most older vector files made in illustrator, a simple act like copying a vector out to XD is IMPOSSIBLE.

Unable to collect multiple assets for export
I am unable to collect multiple assets for export in Illustrator. I select several different layers and when I click collect for export as multiple assets they get compiled into a single asset. This is EXTREMELY inconvenient as I need to export 400 icons and I don't want to have to click into each one, exit isolation mode, collect as single asset 400 times.
I am making a series of screenshots so you can see exactly what I'm doing

Path guides center edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler
Path guides center edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler in CC, in previous versions you could quickly line up a guide to the center of a box now you have to zoom out to see the center. Another feature that worked great in previous versions now lost.
1 voteGuides no longer disappear when dragged on canvas or from rulers. However they still do if you move guides together with non-guides objects. Happens in GPU Preview mode only.

Adobe illustrator does not display acute mark for cyrillic fonts
Illustrator does not display acute mark for cyrillic characters. I can copy and paste something like "коты́" from EditText or from web browser, but in illustrator document acute will not displayed no matter which font will be used.
This is very strange bug, because acute marks works in font selector preview (see screenshot)

Select Tool does NOT select! Color swatches don't change item colors!!
There's no idea. You guys are making every day more difficult every time you ***** up a new version. Us poor idiots that work every day with your programs are going crazy keeping up with the changes that don't work, the ideas that benefit some but not all and all the malfunctioning things you've managed to do with the old tools that worked just fine. You're making me hate this profession of graphic designer and you're making me loose money and time every day. Why don't you just fire your engineers and leave us alone?

Continuous drag over locks or visibility in layer palette regularly fails when using Wacom
I have experienced this problem on both macOS and Windows when using a Wacom tablet.
1. Toggle visibility of multiple layers by click-dragging over the eye icons.
2. Toggle the visibility of another layer by clicking on the eye icon.
3. Occasionally the last click will be interpreted as being part of the drag gesture and the visibilty of multiple layers will be affected.
4. Undo doesn't see step 1 and 2 as separate. So undoing gets you back to before step 1.You may have to test this for a while as it doesn't happen very often. A few…

Opening file with multiple envelopes crashes Illustrator CC2019 23.0.1
Opening the file I included will crash CC2019 every time.
Illustrator CC2018 opens the file without a problem.
Expanding the envelopes will stop the crashing in CC2019.
If you delete one of the two layers in the included file, there's only one envelope left and CC2019 opens it without a problem.
Operating System macOS Sierra 10.12.6
