1. Pop up window for gradient comes up and stops all work

   turn off the new pop up window for new features - popped up in the middle of work and I literally could not continue :( I had to quit

   turn off the new pop up window for new features - it appears seemingly out of the blue with no option to turn it off - no quiet fade to background

   in illustrator: - this help item popped up in the middle of work and I literally could not continue ... :( - the help item was on the gradient feature - which I obv. activated

   suggest that you have some user experince folks test new features like this before rollout - mabye demo it / poll (small pilot) to see what people think

   I had to save and quit my work - luckily I was able to do that

   thank you

2. Pathfinder options not working no matter what I do

   Hi I am using Adobe Illustrator on a Windows PC and I was trying to use the Pathfinder Tool to simply 'minus front' some text on a shape for a logo I am trying to create. But, whenever I go to use the Pathfinder tool and click on in in the Windows Drop Down Menu - because its not even an option on the side bars?- nothing happens. I've tried to group the text and the shape as well as creating outlines but nothing is working. Nothing is popping up. I am simply trying to make transparent text in a shape. Please help. I know what I am supposed to be doing but Adobe isn't giving me any options to do anything

3. Document window opens as narrow strip, will not expand to full width

   Every document. Every time.

   Multiple documents stack inside this narrow window.
   Documents set to open in tabs.
   Same regardless if Illustrator is opened first or opens with document.
   Documents on external drives and local machine.

   Illustrator 23.0.4
   2016 MacBook Pro 15-inch 16 GB RAM
   Mid-2015 MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch 16 GB RAM
   MacOS Mojave (current)
   Mac Illustrator CC 2019 (current)
   Application Frame turned off. (with frame turned on things work differently... fine)
   Both built in display and 32-inch 4k.

   Only started this when I upgraded to CC 2019.

   Clicking here expands the window too it's original, correct size.

   Reset preferences.
   Uninstalled Illustrator and files. Caches, etc.
   Reset workspaces. Changed Workspaces.
   Happens on both of my machines. I do not run any third-party plugins or extensions, so all is basically stock across machines.

4. Resize brush with shortcut keys for Twirl, Pucker, Bloat etc tools

   When using the set of twirl, pucker, bloat tools etc It would be great if you could change the brush size using the '[' and ']' keys like you can when using the blob brush tool. It's very slow and cumbersome to change the size of the brush in the dialogue box .

5. Adding more than one color point in a freeform gradient fill makes other points vanish

   I have had this problem with the freeform gradient tool since it was introduced and it has not been fixed. Adding more than one color point results in other color points disappearing.

6. Command-Option buttons not working. Can't duplicate or get to selection tool by hitting Command when I am using another tool

   When I am using a tool and want to get to the Selection tool without releasing the other tool I am working with (like if I am typing and want to move the text I can just hit Command and the cursor changes to Selection tool and I can move it and when released automatically becomes the text tool again, use this for many different tools).

   When I hold Command and Option down it would duplicate but it is not duplicating.

7. Cannot export large files to .png format at 300dpi

   I’m using the command: File > Export As > PNG
   Use artboards: Not selected
   Resolution: High (300dpi)
   Ahti-Aliasing: None
   Background Color: Transparent

   I have an immediate need to export Illustrator files of roughly 8000 px by 6500px to .png format at 300dpi. I tried doing this with a file containing a complicated drawing, but it fails and displays an error box saying:
   The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [!now]
   I created a simple file containing a few filled rectangles and experimented, with the following results: (all set to export to .png at 300dpi with no anti aliasing)

   3000px x 3000px – and smaller files exported to .png OK
   4000px x 4000px – flashed a not responding banner at the top of the window then did the export OK
   5000px x 5000px – flashed the not responding banner then (a while later) did the export OK.
   6000px x 6000px – No flashing banner, just the Cannot complete – unknown error message in a box.

   I’m running Illustrator 23.0.3, on Windows 7.1

   I tried the same exercise on my laptop and got much the same results using Illustrator 23.0.2 on Windows 10 Home v1809

   I can’t use the fix I’ve seen of copying the file to Photoshop and exporting from there as I don’t have Photoshop. I’d really appreciate some help to sort this out. I’ve spend the afternoon trying to fix it, and I need to be able to create these .png files.

8. Objects in a clipping mask do not respect "Object Selection By Path Only".

   Reproduction steps:

   1. Draw a filled shape.
   2. Use Draw Inside to draw another filled shape inside it.
   3. In the 'Selection And Anchor Display' pane of the prefs, ensure that 'Object Selection By Path Only' is checked.
   4. Click and drag with the Selection or Direct Selection tools in a part of the first object that does not contain the second object. Note that nothing gets selected unless you drag over the first object's path.
   5. Click and drag with one of those tools in a part of the first object that does contain the second object. Do not cross any of the paths while attempting to drag out this selection area. Note that Illustrator acts as if "Object Selection By Path Only" was off, and either selects the whole clip group (if you're using the Selection tool) or starts dragging the second object (if you're using the Direct Selection tool).

   The desired effect is that step 5 should only select any objects whose paths you cross with the selection box, rather than immediately dragging them. This drives me crazy every time it happens.

   Reproduction steps:

   1. Draw a filled shape.
   2. Use Draw Inside to draw another filled shape inside it.
   3. In the 'Selection And Anchor Display' pane of the prefs, ensure that 'Object Selection By Path Only' is checked.
   4. Click and drag with the Selection or Direct Selection tools in a part of the first object that does not contain the second object. Note that nothing gets selected unless you drag over the first object's path.

11. Freeform gradient fill disappears after outline stroke

    1. Windows 10 Pro version 1809 OS build 17763.475 running Illustrator 23.0.3
    2. Make a shape. Fill it with a freeform gradient. Add a stroke. Use Object > Path > Outline Stroke.
       
    3. The stroke should be converted to a path and the fill should be untouched.
    4. When the stroke was converted to a path, the freeform gradient fill disappeared.
    5. The attached file is an animated gif I created to help a user on the forum who encountered the bug. https://forums.adobe.com/message/11077177#11077177

12. Mutiple profiles & Artboards

    Illustrator Version: CC 2019 (23.0.3)
    Mac: Mojave (10.14.2) 5k 27" 32gb Ram

    Firstly there are 3 Film & Video profile dropdowns (1. Film & Video, 2. Film and Video, 3. Video and Film). Not sure why.

    No matter what general preset I use or artboard size preset I choose I get 2 artboards.

    1 artboard is the correct size and the other is basically the complete canvas area.

    I am constantly having to delete the 2nd artboard.

    Can I stop this from happening?

    Thanks in advance.

15. GPU performance

    GPU performance in iMac 27" 5k with AMD Radeon R9 M380 2 GB
    turns colors to a pale tone.

    Using CPU preview turns back the vivid colors but it slows down the performance.

    Any clue how to fix this?

    I'm using the latest update of Mojave and Illustrator v. 23.0.1

16. Text copied from Illustrator and pasted into Word, Keynote and other editors appears as image and not editable text

    Illustrator CC 22.1.
    Mack book pro MacOS high Sierra Version10.13.6.
    Microsoft Word Version16.23 (190309)

    Copy text from illustrator (Command C) and paste it into Word (Command V) using shortcuts on keyboard the text does not come in to word as editable text but as a picture that I cannot edit.

    I copy text from illustrator and past it into Word for editing and then past it back into Illustrator when I am done with the word editing. I do this for technical drawings, sketchbooks and any other 2D design and presentation work.
    Since 2011 until 2018 I was able to use my keyboard shortcuts to copy text from Illustrator and paste it into Word for editing and refining. This is a proses I do numerus times a day (sometimes hundreds) as this is part of my main workload. Like I said this used to work fine for many years. Since 2018 I have not been able to paste text into Word using the Command V shortcut. Since then the text gets pasted into Word as a picture that I cannot edit.
    I know it is possible to past the text into word by using the “paste” drop down menu and select Keep text only, but this is cumbersome and disrupts my workflow. I would like to use the keyboard shortcut (Command V) to past into word.
    Copying from word and pasting it back to Illustrator is no problem.

    Idea: make it possible to use shortcuts on keyboard to paste into word and it pastes as editable tex (Like I was Able to do before for many years)

    If you right click in word you should get a paste as text option.
    Can you please contact Microsoft support. Like most applications we do promise text in clipboard along with other formats like svg, metafile etc…
    It is for word to pick any of these clipboard formats and consume.

17. 23.0.3 keyboard shortcuts stop working

    after roughly 15 minutes of designing, my illustrator keyboard shortcuts no long work. When I select a shortcut (eg command z, or command s), I simply get a system error sound, but no action. This is true for ALL shortcuts

    i am then forced to use the menu items, or restart illustrator to keep working normally.
