Crash illustrator on Macbook Pro M1 2020 Hi,
I am using Illustrator on a new MacbookPro with M1 apple silicon.
While using the software it often starts to randomly freeze and after a few minutes everything works again.
Sometimes the whole mac is frozen for several minutes and Illustrator crashes completely.
Not seeing anyone eelse reporting the problem und no issue desiriped my adobe on the M1 side I was wondering what could be the reason for this problem.
We ask the professional team of Illustrator to fix this bug immediately.
If it is possible for someone from Illustrator Team to send an appropriate response.
Thank you! …

Hide edges not working When choosing to hide edges of selected objects, 1 or more objects still have edges visible. I have resorted to back saving my documents as this feature is crucial for layouts.

Zero-height marquee Please study the GIF attached.
- I want to select an edge of the yellow-beige path
- I grab Direct selection tool and drag a frame over the edge — OK
- I make it faster — still OK
- 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.

Grouped Objects Resizing Errors & Inconsistency macOS Mojave 10.14.5
Illustrator 23.0.6 - ( issue has existed through many versions / upgrades )
—I thought that I had successfully reported this particular issue in the recent past, but cannot find it in a search, so am re-reporting. My apologizes if I'm doubling up.
The Process :
Let's say I have multiple objects of various width and height sizes — e.g. to keep things simple, let's say one object is 4in w x 4in h, and another is 6in w x 4in h.
I then position/possibly-resize the multiple objects precisely and group them together so that their…

Pathfinder precision needs to be addressed Why is the pathfinder tool imprecise in the latest version of illustrator? It leaves trash behind, creates extra nodes, distorts what were precise shapes, and just doesn't work like it once did? What gives Adobe?
Here is one example....of what happened when I used the unite function. Why can it not create a perfect circle? How did you break the tool. Stop adding **** to your programs and fix the problems, PLEASE.
Feel free to contact me directly. Please do. Do something...

Direct Selection Tool not showing bounding box Hi,
When I'm selecting an object using the Direct Selection Tool there is no bounding box to it or any other indication that the object is selected.
I checked the View menu, and it is set on to show the bounding box, so I assume there is a bug causing this.
It doesn't matter what kind of object I select, or whether it's in a group or not - the result is the same: no bounding box or even anchors are shown.I'm using the latest release - 23.0.1 on windows 10 (updated).
Thanks

Excel graph conversation doesn't work on a Mac anymore When pasting an Excel graph into Illustrator, text is converted to rubbish on a Mac running OS High Sierra and the newest version of Illustrator.
Also, when converting the Excel file to a PDF and opening it in Illustrator, the same thing happens. BUT, when opening the PDF in Acrobat, everything looks just fine.
To make sure it wasn't an Excel bug I saved the file in an older version of Excel – that didn't solve the problem.
I used the same Excel file on a PC and copied it into the Windows-version Illustrator, also converted the file to PDF…4 votes -

Illustrator randomly fails on select-paste 23.0.1 64-bit on Win 10 Xeon with GPU accel. Selection, copy paste text fails randomly. Copy seems to work but all paste options grayed out. Yet I can paste to NotePad and other apps. This has been going on for over a year. Have to double click or paste to another doc first. Please fix!

Rasterizing a clipped image/group of objects results in extra white space in the resulting image. If I rasterize a clipped image, the result is the same size as the clipped image but with extra whitespace surrounding the clipping boundaries. Expected result, IMO, should be that the resulting image is only as large as the clipping object.

tab Above the top ruler I should be able to see a tab, or multiple tabs when several files are open. However all that is shown is a cropped "Ai" ident. This means the only way I can flick between files is by through "Window" in the top panel.
