Illustrator window too small to open file
I have to close and open AI files all day. Every 5-6th time of opened various documents, my entire program window will shrink down as small as possible and i will get an error message saying AI is too small to open the file when I already had the program as full size.

I have been getting an issue with opening AI files and getting an error saying "Can't open file because window is too small", and it randomly shrinks Illustrator to where you just see the file/edit tool bar. I always maximize the window when working. It does this when I open from Windows Explorer, I don't think I've had that issue when opening from Illustrator. The files I'm opening are only 3.5" x 1" text banners, no graphics.

When in Windows 10 and I have a explorer window open from doing an import into another app Eg. InDesign and then while having the file list open then right clicking on a file to open with Illustrator I get a window too small error (if illustrator currently has been minimised in some way. It would be nice if this file open with illustrator could open the app window bigger so that it could display the file for editing.

Never mind, I found the issue for the saving problem. Some how the save dialog changed the Subsetting drop down to "all glyphs" instead of "use system fonts". That made the files huge.
I have not experienced the second issue today, but did not have any particular solution to it.
