Problem merging dates from CSV into graph
When merging data into an Illustrator file to create a batch of bar graphs based on a group of CSV files, numerical dates merge into the graph data as numbers with decimals instead of dates. A 6/30/16 date merges into Illustrator as 6.00 and 12/31/16 becomes 12.00, so every date with the same month appears the same. This also messes up the graph, leaving the chart with two categories instead of one of the data columns being assigned to the x-axis.
This includes when dates are formatted (in Excel) as text, and when the dates include hyphens or periods instead…

Not responsonding
Every time I am working in Illustrator & switch to a different app, Illustrator will hang when I return causing me to wait prior to returning to my work. So, for example if I am working on an illustration then go to google chrome to look at something online then return to my work in Illustrator it will hang & become unresponsive for a little bit of time (1 - 2 minutes) after waiting I can continue to work . I have already followed the steps outline by Adobe (found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-illustrator-performance-windows.html) to increase performance within the app &…

import png from Photoshop or Capto results in an invisible link
Illustrator CC 22.1, OSX 10.13.6
When importing a .png or .jpeg from photoshop or as a screen capture from Capto, the link appears in the links panel, but is invisible on the art board or the paste board. If you click go to link in the links panel, it takes you an extremity on the pasteboard, but the link is not visible and cannot be selected.
Expected result, to see the .png on the art board. When searching for link on pasteboard, that it would be visible.
Actual result, link is not visible anywhere, but appears in link palette.

Artboard
When copying one art board and saving PDF. The PDF will sometimes save a extra page automatically. Can easily be fixed in adobe acrobat by deleting the extra copied pages but wish I didn't have to do that in first place.

PDF file with Opacity Mask using a 1-Bit tiff when Exporting PNG with Anti-Aliasing TURNED OFF does not render correctly.
BUG: When exporting a PDF file as a PNG containing an Opacity Mask made with a 1-Bit tif file AND Anti-Alias turned off in the PNG Export options does not render correctly. The opacity mask is not WYSIWYG in the exported PNG file. The PNG file contains part of the mask information (from left to right).
The same issue occurs when opening the same PDF file in Adobe Photoshop. If the Anti-aliasing is turned off the resulting PNG is incorrect (although the thumbnail in the PDF import screen IS correct.
If Anti-aliasing is turned ON in either scenario the resulting…

Picking a colour from the Library, randomly opens the colour picker
I've got a shared library with assets and colours to use in the work we're doing. When I have an object selected and I pick the colour from the library, it's 50/50 if the colour picker dialog box is going to open or not. I don't want it to open, I've clicked the colour I want to use, so why does it pop up and get in the way? Really annoying!!

"Apply value and keep text box active" using key command Shift + Return does not work on Mac OS
when you change something in the Character panel... for example the tracking... and you want to keep trying new values without selecting the field every time you used to be able to hit Shift + Return and it would automatically highlight the field while applying the current value... this made it easy to continue to try new amounts. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! Thanks

Just recently purchased CC 2018. Although I have been using Illustrator since 1998, this is the first time I have worked with CC.

Windows 10: Libraries panel - item naming bug
On Windows, Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow allows you to navigate text by jumping between words. If you use Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right Arrow, it will also select as you jump between words.
The bug: In Illustrator, when typing a name for an item in the Libraries panel, if you try to use either of these shortcuts, it will also move the selected graphic on the artboard.
Solution: stop sending any keyboard input to the main Illustrator window when typing a name in the Libraries panel.
1 voteSorry we could not understand the issue. We do not support shifting between words using shortcuts but it should not be placing art on your file if you are in rename mode on the library panel

Legacy "save as" from CC2018 does not work
"Save as" to legacy CS6 , CS5, etc. from CC2018 does not work - although it looks like it does. Trying to open the file in CS6 will get an error that the file was created in a newer version. To confirm the file has not been converted to CS6 (or other legacy version), check the file window. It will display no version number and right-clicking on the file and choosing "get info" will also show no version number.
To work around the bug, launch CS2017 and "save as" to the desired legacy version. You will now see a version…
