OS x 10.14.6
Illustrator 23.0.6
When using dialogue boxes for scale, rotate move etc, after inputting numbers i used to be able to hit option + enter (next to the keypad) and it would create a copy of whatever I element i was scaling, rotating, moving. This doesn't work anymore. nothing happens. I have to hit option + return for this to work. It used to work a few versions ago.

Missing embedded graphic upon export
I am creating a poster in Illustrator. I had a linked .png file that I had converted to black and white to use as a raster texture effect over my vector artwork. I accidentally had set my color mode to RGB when I created the file, so I converted to cmyk. When I had exported to RGB previous to this, everything exported fine. However, when I converted to cmyk, and I tried exporting, the raster image was missing upon export. I searched the web and tried saving the image as a TIFF & relinking, then as a PSD file and…

Linked multipage .ai documents within Illustrator will not be stored properly anymore if linked more than once
When you place another .ai file in Illustrator 23.0.6 more than once and with the linked ai. file containing multiple artboards, it will no longer refer to the chosen specific artboards of that linked .ai file for the different placements but replace them all with just one artboard after saving and reopening your file.
It will replace all the different linked artboards of the one file with the artboard placement which will be most top in layer manager!place ai. file in open Illustrator document with a specific artboard

inutilisable
Plante en permanence à l'ouverture.
Préférences supprimées, ça recommence de la même manière :
à l'ouverture de l'appli puis à l'ouverture/création d'un nouveau document, la roue puis tous les menus deviennent grisés. On peut changer d'outil mais pas les utiliser.
Les panneaux de fonction sont actifs mais rien n'est possible.
L'appli n'est pas signalée bloquée par le système.Je n'ai pas accès aux bibliothèques, je pense qu'elles sont en cause.
Ce soft est de pire en pire.

Multiple DXF conversions overwrite other artboards
On my iMac with OSX Mojave.
If I import 2 dxf files for conversion and leave their tabs available, the next to be imported overwrites the second tab placing the image on top of what is already there and then proceeds to open the 3rd tab with a blank Artboard.
In the attached screenshot, the overplayed image is with red lines, the original image on that tab is in black lines

Illustrator 22.0.1 Crash on Startup when Signed In on Windows with a Microsoft account
Adobe Illustrator version 22.0.1 (x32-bit) crashes on startup on any user profile logged in with a Microsoft account.
It works fine on the PC across local user accounts, but as soon as the local account is converted to a profile linked to a Microsoft account, that's it. No more Illustrator.

Weird Font punctuation behavior?
Version: 23.0.6
OS: 10.14.6I'm experiencing weird font behavior with the Merriweather typeface in Illustrator. It only happens for this typeface and only in Illustrator.
When I try to type ' ," ' (comma + end quote), the spacing inexplicably condenses. When I switch fonts, the spacing goes back to normal. I don't have any special character or glyph settings to my knowledge.
I tried the same type combo in other tools (Photoshop, XD, Sketch), and it works fine and looks normal. This only happens in Illustrator. Any ideas?

Illustrator CC Crashes In Tablet Mode
Illustrator regularly crashes every couple of hours when my Spectre x360 is in tablet mode, also when using the HP Pen. Is anyone else getting this?
Running Illustrator in power saving mode was suggested as a workaround, but it's still crashing.
System info attached.

colored paper no transparent PNG
If I simulate colored paper for my canvas background I cannot export transparent PNGs anymore. This worked before just fine and I always used this technique to be able to work with white surfaces on a "invisible" colored background. When I link the Ai into Photoshop it ignores the background as it certainly should.
The weirdest part about it is, that the PNG always has white background (custom background is off) in the export window despite my colored paper being white at all! As soon as I deactivate colored paper simulation, the PNG can be exported transparent again.
I'm a…

Embedding illustrator files creates bigger artwork than original
I use a lot old (or not that old) artwork into some new client jobs (eg: a logo or a background for a new project for consistency purposes) and sometimes embedding prior illustrator files in illustrator creates bigger artwork than original. (when I mean bigger is size i'm talking about. eg.: a square in original file was 10x10mm and when embedded gets 13x13mm)
It happens only when embedding and the only workaround is using flatten transparency.
I still don't know what exactly triggers this issue as it happens with seemingly random files.

Very glitchy Free Transform tool
This sure can't be right - I can't always get this to occur, but when it does happen, it's super annoying. When scaling using the Free Transform tool, there's this choppiness that doesn't allow me to control the scaling. Right now, my best work around is to enter dimension values in the Control Palette rather than use this tool at all. In the video the choppiness during the text object's decrease in size is where I'm undoing the scaling. I don't know if that helps, but maybe it will help to know that the choppy scaling is done in steps…

Type size shortcut doesn't work
Cmd + shift + > for enlarging the type doesn't work both on my Illustrator & Photoshop.
For reducing the size, it works well. (cmd+shift+<) I did reset both of them, and it fix the problem just a while before it's coming back.

v23.0.6 Freezing when opening file
Frequently Illustrator has been freezing when attempting to open recently created Illustrator files. These files can be created or modified from any recent version of Illustrator (versions for 2018 and 2019), but only seem to freeze when opened with Illustrator v23.0.6. The files seemingly will open just fine on v23.0.4 or below (I did not test every version, but I can verify that v23.0.4 works and checked on 2 versions of v22.xx.xx). The freezing occurs irregardless of the computer's operating system (Windows or Mac). It doesn't freeze on all files—but I don't know what variables are causing it. The files…
