Save as PDF in CC2020 cannot open with CC2014
I noticed if I was to save a PDF file in CC2020, a customer using CC2014 is unable to open it. I compared the PDF files to see how it is different.
If a PDF was saved using CC2014 it generates the colors like this:
[ /Separation /ATHLETIC#20GOLD /DeviceCMYK << /C0 [ 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 ]
But If a PDF was saved using CC2020 it generates the colors like this:
[/Separation/ATHLETIC#20GOLD/DeviceCMYK<</C0[0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0]Due to this settle difference, can this be the reason why the file is unable to open in CC2014?

Complicated Swatches not adding to palette
Working in Mojave 10.14.6 on a iMac 2017, 3.5Hz
I needed to alter a swatch I had made using vector artwork I have drawn, the swatch was created in Illustrator 2017, and though complex, had no issues being added to the swatch palette, or used. I had edited it a few times to get the elements into the right place and adding it back to the Swatch palette.
I tried editing in Illustrator 2020, which we have been running across our Macs fo the last few days, and it will not add back in. I can drag it out, but…1 vote -

Gradient panel causes bugs
The gradient panel really makes me nervous. On rare occasions when dropping a color onto a gradient handle to change it, Illustrator suddenly just closes without a warning. Just gone in a split second along with all my work. No auto save. Nothing. It even won't show my recently opened files when I open it back up. This issue also happened the last time Illustrator was updated but then it was fixed. Please fix it again as I'm always SUPER nervous when I have to change settings for a gradient. I have no idea on how to reproduce this, other…

Unable to Merge swatches, screen freezes
In latest version of Illustrator 2020, I am running the script that brings Swatch Conflict Dialog, which is ok but it does not allow me to merge swatches. I cannot select or change radio button selection. I have attached the screenshot of the dialog.
1 voteYou can disable alerts during script execution with below method
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
This assumes the default option selected in the dialog and proceed with further script execution.
Please let me know if the above suggestion works for you

Colors in vector art cannot be changed unless all old swatches are deleted first
If I want to change certain colors in a vector illustration, I cannot just go into edit colors > recolor artwork and change them. I must first delete the original swatches and then change the colors or else the colors will revert back to their original values. I think that old swatches should be unlinked from artwork if they are changed.

Applying 'line' freeform gradient crashes Illustrator
Trying to change any freeform gradient's 'Draw' setting from 'Points' to 'Lines' results in an immediate crash, no matter what shape it's being applied to.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator multiple times, and completely reset all user configuration settings, and this behavior remains unchanged.

Bug: Stroke color with 0pt width causes a switch to "outline" view.
When I have a path with a stroke of 0pt and I try to apply color, it will switch to "outline" view and won't allow me to go back to "GPU Preview", tell me something like "Can't render preview".
The only way to bypass the bug, is to save the file, close Illustrator, open it again and voila everything works.Unfortunatelly, I can't reproduce the bug right now.
1 voteApply a stroke color to a 0 pt stroke should increase the stroke to 1 pt.

Color panel problem.
Mac OS 10.14.3
Illustrator CC V23.0.2The panel display default is the spectrum, even when I specifically select CMYK (or RGB for that matter) unless "Show Options" is selected. Color values should be the default. Can this be fixed?

Color Gray printing as brown when saving from Illustrator CC v23.0.2 to CS4
MacOS Mojave v10.14.4 & Illustrator CC v23.0.2
When saving a file from Illustrator CC v23.0.2 to CS4 the gray colors print as brown but if I save the file as the current Illustrator CC v23.0.2 it prints as gray as it should. It is a CMYK document with only K values. Discovered this from printing an older document created 08/2019 then printing the new document. The old document was also saved from the version at that date to CS4 but the new document saving to CS4 printed as brown not gray.1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Stop automatically changing RGB files to grayscale when working with colors
Illustrator takes an RGB file and converts it to grayscale when changing the color of paths. For example- in an RGB file I change a path to red. Illustrator turns the path gray and converts the file to grayscale. I then have to convert the file back to RGB in order for the path to show as red.
