Several Illustrator 22.0.1 Issues with High Sierra Update
The issues keep surfacing after the OS High Sierra update making my job increasingly difficult and frustrating. Issues ranging from bounding boxes not working to the inability to modify/click on text. Also, I find that I sometimes after some design and then saving the project, the layout switches back on all the changes that I made, after saving is complete. I'll close the file, reopen, and the changes appear as they should have. Crashing is also an issue, seems "minor" compared to these other problems. Oh, and most times when I save, I get the message that this file has…

AIGPUSNIFFER doesn't quit
Version 21.1.0
When quitting illustrator the AIGPUSNIFFER process continues to run, even though it should terminate, unless the task is manually ended in task manager. This is a huge issue considering it puts CPU usage at a high level which consequently affects battery life.

Keyboard doesn't register a shortcut
In Adobe InDesign and Photoshop you can assign any key on an international keyboards to any function.
Illustrator do not recognize international keyboards. You may register but it won’t work.
What a shame since it's the oldest app in the family.2 votes -
Illustrator doesn't find color profile, which are shown in Indesign
Hi everybody,
I installed an eci color profile (pso-coated_v3) on my windows 10 computer (right-mouse-click, then install). In Photoshop CC and Indesign CC everything is fine, so it is installed correctly. But the new profile isn't shown in Illustrator CC.
I reopened Illustrator and also de- and reinstalled it...
Does anybody has got an idea, why the new profile doesn't show in in the color-settings of Illustrator?
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes
Rene2 votesAn installed color profile can be accessed and used like this:
Edit > Color Settings: Working Spaces, CMYK: choose the profile you need.
Then go to Edit > Assign Profile and set it.

Application crash when copy/pasting SVG paths
I have several logos that were created in Inkscape and saved in SVG format that I now need to edit in Illustrator. However even after re-saving them as AI files, any attempt to copy/paste any part of the SVG paths from the logo results in an immediate application crash.
Adobe Illustrator CC (latest) Windows 10 64bit
Steps:
1. Open the attached AI file (which was converted from SVG by opening then saving in Illustrator).
2. Select any part of the logo.
3. Copy using Edit -> Copy or CTRL+C
4. Paste using Edit -> Paste or CTRL+V
5. The application…2 votesPlease get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or any of the other support channels.

Concept to Vector fails mid-process with non-actionable error message
When using Concept to Vector, the process consistently fails approximately halfway through execution.
Instead of explaining why the operation failed, Illustrator displays the following message:
"Please slow down and try again later."
The operation is then aborted.
The message does not provide enough information to understand the cause of the failure or how to resolve it. It is unclear whether the issue is related to service availability, account limitations, usage limits, network connectivity, the source image, or another factor.
As a result, the only available option is to repeatedly retry the operation without knowing whether the problem is temporary or…

Edit in Firefly Boards button gives network error every time
Not sure if this is categorized correctly as an action so feel free to correct.
Illustrator 30.8, MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1.
I have tested every possible graphic/image/whatever. Right click when selected and hit "Edit in Firefly Boards" and it gives me a network error every time. WiFi is working, other generative features in Illustrator work fine.
The "Edit in Firefly Boards" button on the Properties panel also gives the same results.

Illustrator cannot recognize my Creative Cloud account without internet, hours of work lost!!!!
Illustrator has no internet connection and then closes all my files without giving me the option to save. I have a company Adobe Creative Cloud account, but when the internet connection goes down, Illustrator seems unable to recognize or verify that I have an active Creative Cloud account. Instead, it closes Illustrator and all my open files without giving me any option to save my work.
This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I had been working for several hours, and I lost all of that work because Illustrator could not verify my account while offline.
Even if an internet connection…

Illustrator 30.5.1 started freezing
Since most recent update, Illustrator keeps freezing for no explainable reason. There is no pattern to the freeze, but need to force quit to move forward. Auto save is not saving to the same point. Very frustrating.

Turntable access bug
Turntable previously worked for me, and has now stopped allowing me access with an upgrade message.
I have confirmed with support my subscription level should include turntable and I have full generative credits left for this month (although they did try to blame that and I had to wait for credits to renew before proving it wasn't the issue).
Yet clicking turntable from illustrator results in the error message:
"Upgrade to generate
You don't have enough standard feature credits or need premium feature access for this generative action.
