Opening Files Problem
Not sure what this message means. It started last week.
I would try to open a file, this warning box would pop up, I would press ok and half of my job is missing. Then i would restart illustrator and try it again. Sometimes it takes me 5 times restarting illustrator to get the files to open correctly.1 vote -
Snap to Grid functionality reversed
Running AI 22.1 on OSX 10.12.6
When drawing or moving objects, they behave as if 'Snap to Grid' is checked. It isn't. If I check 'Snap to Grid', the snapping behaviour stops.

Illustrator documents open up as skewed black and gray triangles
When I open a file in illustrator, all that shows up are black and gray skewed lines and triangles. I have uninstalled and re-installed illustrator but has not fixed the problem. The image cannot be seen whatsoever. Attached file shows what SHOULD be the silhouette of the state of Illinois. This is what I get instead:

Illustrator CC 22.1 destroyed my file
22.1 (released today March 15, 2018) destroyed a complex drawing, exhibiting very odd drawing mistakes leading me to quit. Upon reopening the file was corrupted and a single object remained. I suggest NOT updating until this is solved.

Special characters and Data merge
New data merge feature does not import special characters like trademark or inch marks. Followed steps provided on https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/data-driven-graphics-templates-variables.html
Attached is an example package artwork and a csv for data merge. I need the inch marks and TM to pull in as part of the text.
I have used scripts in the past to generate artwork from data which has worked to pull in any character found here http://hypertransitory.com/blog/2015/04/26/illustrator-variable-data/

Placing/updating AI file links in INDD after update takes a very very very long time.
After updating AI and INDD, placing AI files into INDD is taking a very long time. I made an update to an AI file that was placed into an existing INDD files that contains 13 placed AI files. I only updated a few of the linked AI files. Prior to the AI and INDD update, updating these placed links took a few seconds each max. Now, just to update the two links takes about 2 minutes.
This MAY be an AI bug, but I don't know how make that determination as I updated bothat the same time.
1 voteThis seems to an InDesign issue or slowness of your file system or network. Illustrator has no role in the link update / place inside Indesign.

Issue moving Illustrator to a different virtual desktop space
iMac
MacOS 10.13.3
Illustrator CC 2018 v22.0.1I am using several virtual desktops (Apple calls them Spaces) and I am used to being able to move application windows to different desktops by dragging open windows to the top of the screen, which reveals the available desktops. However, when I try to drag Illustrator to a different desktop the action fails, leaving a transparent grey window over the whole screen. Logging out and back in again clears the grey window. I will try to make a video to show what happens.

Vector shapes show as black
When opening an .ai file on one particular PC in our workplace (a file that was created on a different PC) most of the vector shapes show as black-filled shapes.
We have multiple copies of Illustrator (all version 22.0.1 (64-bit) in our workplace and on every other PC the artwork displays properly (with no black shapes).
Turning on 'Overprint Preview' on the troublesome PC fixed the issue.
On every other PC turning this option on or off has no effect.
If we create a new file in Illustrator on this troublesome PC then we don't experience any problems?

crash
I am using CC 2018 and it is up to date. Illustrator randomly quits when saving file. When I hit command + s, Adobe will randomly quit. Has done it twice today. A few more times the last few days.

Send to back
I am busy working on a big logo project on illustrator, using only one layer. I started filling up the art-boards and space available. However, after only using about a third of the available space the send to back feature wouldn't work. It would register the object as infront of the other object but it wouldn't show the object I placed infront.
I am a 14 year old student at the International School Eindhoven.
