Can't save or Save As on new file in Illustrator
Using latest Catalina and latest Illustrator. I have 2 files open. One is an existing file which has been changed. I hit Save, but the file name continues to show the asterisk indicating that it needs to be saved. The other file is new and has not yet been saved. I go to Save As, get the beachball for a few seconds, then nothing. I can't save the file. Save a Copy also fails.

I cannot save a file either. The only fix is to lose my work and restart.

Need the same fix for 2019 23.1.1 :(

I'm having the same issue, yet the file(s) on my server or hard drive list the correct time of save. I then force quit Illustrator, then open the file and it's in the correct state.
Running Catalina 10.15.1 and Illustrator 24.0.1 (updated 7 days ago with prompt from Creative Cloud)
