As I type this, I'm reinstalling AI for the second time this month. This time without saved prefs. Please, Adobe, make this storied and remarkable piece of software STABLE before you talk about giving us new features. I don't want a new icon, I want not to have to explain to my boss that I didn't get anything done this morning because my industry-standard software didn't work.

1. Crashes CONSTANTLY. Connect or disconnect a display: crash. Wake computer from sleep: crash. Check email in a different app: crash. Literally, walk away from my desk or use another app for a while: crash. This has been happening since March. I've sent so many reports, complete with what I was doing "to trigger the problem."
2. Intermittently doesn't update files hosted in the library/cloud.
3. When a filename in that library is selected, you start typing a new name and it starts selecting tools with keyboard shortcuts.
4. When making a change to width or height, proportions are locked even if the lock proportions button is unselected.
5. Align buttons randomly throw the non-key object hundreds of pixels out of place when you're trying to align to center. This one has been going on for years.
6. New real-time drawing intermittently doesn't work, even on a new document, with only a single vector rectangle and one short sentence of text.
7. Can't resize certain panel group widths (this started today).
8. Regularly resets Snap to Pixel, after I've turned it off.
9. Export for Screens constantly forgets where you last saved a file. Intermittently does this immediately after setting the output location, effectively ignoring my input.
10. Export for Screens adds a suffix to file names, even if you removed said suffix.

Since we can't isolate components of compound path and shapes it is strange that Ai won't isolate a whole compound path/shape when you select only a part of it.
Try this:
1. Create compounds path/shape — like a torus
2. Use Direct/Group Selection tool to select only the inner circle if your torus
3. The 'Isolate Selected Object' button won't appear on the Control panel and the assigned hotkey won't do anything.

This should be fixed. Ai should allow to isolate a compound path/shape when you select a part of it.
Also, I think that Ai should be able to isolate these components in the first place: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40684777-make-isolate-work-for-components-of-a-compound-pat

Please study the GIF attached.

1. I want to select an edge of the yellow-beige path
2. I grab Direct selection tool and drag a frame over the edge — OK
3. I make it faster — still OK
4. I make it with my usual speed and get the marquee that has 0 height. It happens with me all the time! I don't fake it, I just automatically try to drag the less tall frame as possible, because sometimes I need to select quite a tiny segment. And when it happens — Illustrator selects nothing.

Well, this is wrong.
If you draw a rectangle with zero height — you would get it, right? Just compressed to a line.
Surely it HAS some intersection, Ai just fails to trace it for me.
I'd love to get it fixed.

I am using Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.1.2 that I downloaded from Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop.

I am operating on a Microsoft Windows 10 Home version 10.0.18363.

I opened the app and clicked on the in-app tutorials available in the Learn section. The tutorials that opens in browsers open just fine, it is only the in-app tutorials that do not respond in any way when clicked on.

I expected the in-app tutorial to open and show a step-by-step tutorial by opening a new project, similar to the in-app tutorials in other Adobe apps (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc.).

The actual result was that nothing happened. When the clicker was moved to the tutorial, it was highlighted and the clicker turned into a hand icon. When I clicked onto it nothing opened.

Everything else other than these tutorials are working fine. My device and Adobe Cloud apps are fully updated, so I am confused why nothing opened when it should have.

This issue is intermittent, but when shift-dragging an object in order to maintain vertical or horizontal position during movement, a green plus will appear next to the cursor and upon release, the object will snap back to its original position and refuse to be moved until you use the Cmd+Shft+B shortcut, which seems to clear it temporarily. However, if after that green plus appears you drag your cursor off-window to the desktop, a macOS picture clipping file is created. I have been unable to locate any settings for adjusting the behavior of mac's legacy clipping feature, so I'm hoping this can be solved on the Adobe side because it is infuriating.

1. Create a circle.
2. Apply a large Outside stroke to it
3. Make sure you have bounding box turned on in View menu
4. Open Preferences using menu (not a Ctrl+K hotkey, this is important)
5. Toggle Use Preview Bounds option, commit changes

The bounding box does not get updated. To force to to become larger/smaller (it depends on you initial state of it), you have to click/move the shape, to force it to redraw.

However, if you call Preferences via a hotkey, Ctrl+K, the brief moment you hold Ctrl is enough to toggle the selection tool to Direct Selection, which makes Ai hide the bounding box before Preferences dialog appears. And after you close the window, Ai renders it again, but now of the proper size and the bug does not manifest.

This is a small thing, but there are many of these, broken here and there. One grain of sand in a dish is not a big deal, but a spoon of them is significant. Maybe you should start fixing these.

The option to export Illustrator files to Keynote files: File > Export > Export as... doesn't show the Keynote file Option any more. I am using the plugin created by Christian Holz – @cholz – for over 5 years but it doesn't show up since the last updated of Illustrator a couple of weeks ago and it last update v.25.1 from yesterday didn't fix it. Will it be possible to fix that? As a work around I also installed in my computer the previous version of Illustrator v24.3 that, so far, recognizes the plug in and works perfectly.

No attached info.

Thanks
