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.

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.

New proofread feature finds that dummy text is violating the community guidelines
This is more fun that a real problem, but some people may be irritated that the new proofread function finds words that violate the community guidelines when used on standard "Lorem ipsum ..." dummy text. ;-)
Maybe this should be whitelistet somehow.

Urgent: Persistent Keyboard Shortcut Bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9)
To the Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,
This is a follow-up regarding a previously acknowledged bug (Case: ADB-42685232-Q2L9). Despite being confirmed as a bug, it remains unfixed in version 26.5.
Issue:
My custom keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F9) assigned to a specific "Align" command is being forcefully overwritten by the default "Pathfinder" panel shortcut upon every application launch.Impact:
I have attempted to create and save new shortcut sets, but the application resets these to default every time it launches. This constant re-configuration disrupts my professional workflow and reduces productivity.Request:

Certain paths with certain Offset Path values create these.

Share for review comments are misaligned - about 5mm off.
Share for review comments are sometimes misaligned - about 5 mm below the actual comment.
In the case of text errors usually few lines below the actual error-comment.
Web interface shows the comments in the right place, but something bad happens when illustrator reads the comments back in. Its persistent in every illustrator version i have.
The same bug keeps following me in different illustrator versions. I'm not sure what is causing this. One time i suspected some file specific bug, but it keeps reappearing in newly created files. Might it be related to bleed settings? I don't know. But…

Error in startup script with InDesign path, line: 1 I/0 error since latest update 29.8.2
This error pops up on every Illustrator startup now:
Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts
CC\Adobe InDesign\indesign-v20.0.jsx
Line I:
I/0 errorTried reinstalling Creative Cloud and all apps using CC cleaner, no effect. Tried resetting preferences, no effect. Renaming the .jsx file helps but it's not recreated and presumably has some purpose (removing a similar one for Photoshop breaks Bridge Batch actions for instance).

Preview issues with Home recent files and Placed files not properly showing all artwork.
Home recent files not populating with updated artwork previews. For example: I use a personal file template, make changes, save as new, and the new file does not populate an updated preview on the home screen. Second, when placing an AI file in another AI file some of the assets are missing in the place file and/or moved and distorted - even though when I open the original file everything looks fine.

Every single time Adobe updates, all my settings and workspaces are completely wiped out
Every single time Adobe updates, all my settings and workspaces are completely wiped out. Do you have any idea how much time this wastes?
It’s beyond frustrating — it’s infuriating. And to make things worse, you keep raising prices while sneakily auto-renewing subscriptions without proper notice. This isn’t just bad service — it’s predatory. At this point, your behavior is no different from a scam.1 vote
