Crashing when scaling objects and file disappears after saving
Program often crashes when I'm scaling large objects. Also, I saved a file that I had been working on for more than a week and closed the application like I usually do but when I reopened it? File gone. Erased. Can't even find an earlier version of it. Then I got a bunch of note and word docs titled "debug" full of HTML gibberish I couldn't understand. Couldn't recover or find file in deleted cloud files or recycling bin on desktop.

Illustrator 2020 doesn't allow me to CREATE A NEW FILE!
I need to open an existing and save as. It only is letting me download pre-saved templates. C'mon - that's not a bug - that's a fatality. And even if I'm reading the popup wrong, why make it so difficult? Switching over to Sketch...

Auto recovery settings keep changing on their own
My creative director and I are both having an issue where our auto recovery settings are resetting themselves. We don't notice (obviously) until a crash, and then reopen to find NO RECOVERED FILES, check our file handling settings, and the autosave option is unclicked. Again. As workers who use illustrator daily, we would never purposely unclick this. I just lost a file yet again.

svg repeated symbols are invisible
When attached svg is opened in Adobe Illustrator 2020 - second usages of glyphs (B, 2, 0) are not displayed properly like in attached screenshot.
Is this an issue with original svg (it looks fine in Chrome or Firefox) or Illustrator?1 vote -

I lost 5 hours worth of my illustrator work
I was trying to open a file that I used to work on 30 minutes each day until I had some other work and stopped working on Illustrator for a week. After a week when I tried to reopen the file, it shows me this error message (attached an image file) and opens a blank file instead. All my work is lost.

svg export fails to export image
for the current version of AI (24.3).
When exporting a svg via save-as with an artboard, images part of the canvas are not preserved, or exported, or linked. The resulting svg preserves the vector data, but anything related to the raster graphics is missing.
this behavior seems to be inconsistent, as sometimes masked images do export, while other times they do not.

Saving, Opening, & creating files Not Responsive with Unstable Internet Connection
Illustrator saving, creating files, and opening files seems to be tied to an internet connection, and it really fails if the connection isn't strong/stable. And this was only an issue with Illustrator (found with 24.2.3 & 24.2.0) with Photoshop and Indesign continued to function normally.
For two weeks I began experiencing very slow saving, it being "not responsive" for about 10 minutes to save any file. I eventually found it was tied to my internet connection. I recently switched my home network to data from a mobile hotspot which works find but isn't always stable. So the saving issue wasn't…

Saving Issues on Large Artboards
I am working in the Illustrator 2020 with Windows 10. The issue I have is that when I initially work on a project with an artboard say 300"x300" it works great and seems to save just fine. However after I close out and go to re-open the saved file it comes in at 10% scale. My new artboard is 30"x30". Am I missing something? I feel like the file should remain how you saved it.

Subsequent document saves
Whilst working on a document in the latest version of Illustrator, any subsequent saves after the initial first saves is not guaranteed to have saved. Instead I may find a temp file in the folder alongside the original version rather than the fresh updated document. This is the first time in any versions of Illustrator that I have experienced this and am extremely worried as to what other documents have supposedly been updated but haven't really?
Before you ask, yes, I did refresh my folders and also opened the illustrator file to only find that the changes made have not…

illustrator bug erasing files
I save all files locally. Yesterday i made a 'v2' of a project, saved in the same location as the 'v1', had both opened and worked on the v2, and exported PNGs from it to use in another app (saved frequently between edits). Today I discovered the PNGs and v1 are still in the folder, but not the v2.
It is not listed in my Mac's 'recent files', it doens not turn up in search, it is not in the cloud storage, i did not use an external, and I also did not accidentally erase the file-go into the trash-…

Saving documents
Please restore the save parameters. Or at least give a prompt if the save gets interrupted. My saves keep getting interrupted and I often loose the changes to the original file if I have to save as a different format, like a PDF. It's been very problematic and I have had to reproduce my original files once I lose the changes while trying to save a low-res PDF, for example. Thank you!

SVG files doesn't open correctly. - Illustrator
I have added as attachment the .svg files which aren't opened correctly, it is kinda only showing the filling.
This problem accures in Illustrator Windows, and iPad OS, didn't tested on mac right now, but i don't have big hope.
My guts tell me that there is a newer SVG standard, which isn't implemented yet?
