Illustrator keeps shutting when I try to save my work and all of my work is lost.
It should have an autosave option or a restore work option when it quits unexpectedly. But also there is a but when trying to save
a document that shuts Illustrator and I've lost hours of work due to it so that needs to get fixed.3 votes -
Scrubby Zoom Suddenly Stops Working
2019 MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7. Adobe Illustrator 25.2.
Scrubby zoom suddenly stops working, even though GPU and Animated Zoom are still enabled within Preferences. This happens once or twice a week; the only way I have found to resolve is restarting the MacBook.
It happens while working in relatively small/simple documents, all of a sudden, without making any changes to Preferences.
3 votesAnimated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.

Illustrator 2021 crashes when trying to import AutoCad DWG
Every time I try and open an AutoCAD dwgs in illustrator, the options to choose what scale I want comes up and when I click ok, the whole program crashes and the pop up box comes up asking if I want to send a report to illustrator. I cant open any of my dwg drawings at all!
I've uninstalled and re-installed illustrator many times and updated it to make sure its the latest update and I've turned my computer off and on many times but nothing works. It worked for me before I updated so I think its the latest…

GPU Problem after upgrade to 25.1
After upgrading to 25.1 GPU previewing is erratic. After a while working on a document GPU previewing is not available (after restart Illustrator it is). Then also problems with text selection occur, text is not marked as selected and text cursor is not visible. Seems like a problem with out of video memory? Using a maxed out MacMini with 64GB RAM and a Blackmagic eGPU. MacOS is 11.1
For now reverting Illustrator 25.0 removes all problems.3 votes -

Illustrator 2020 24.3 Extremely slow performance and lagging on Windows 10
Extremely slow performance and lagging making Illustrator unusable under win 10 pro. Massive lag (sometimes 10 sec) when moving, selecting, objects or zooming, sometimes when selecting tools.
I had v23.4 installed on the same machine with Win 7 a week ago and had no issues. New install of Windows 10 with the same version of illustrator is unusable even though my machine spec is above requirements and has no other issues.
I've installed the previous version of illustrator to test but had the same performance issues.
All drivers updated, and ran through performance troubleshooting in adobe support pages.
Win 10…

Very high latency/lag/delay with basic operations
I am using a wacom cintiq pro 24HD and a thinkpad P1 running the Win10 pro for workstations (2004 build). All my drivers are up to date. I am running the latest build of illustrator (v 24.3).
There's very high lag with basic move / resize operations (1-2 seconds) both with and without using the cintiq. + pen.
With the rotate and reflect tools, the lag is up to 4 minutes if i'm using the wacom, and it's still 1-2s without.
Please help, this has been an issue over the last few releases of illustrator and it doesn't seem to…

Crash on Quit
Illustrator crashes on quit 4 out of 5 times on my Mac and has for many months and builds. Crash on quit wouldn't be so bad if Illustrator didn't save so many interface and plugin settings on quit.

Switching project tabs fails to update to selected project
In recent updates, including the June 2020 Illustrator update, tabs fail to switch projects, displaying only the current project for up to 15 seconds before slowly refreshing and switching to the selected open project tab. This happens several times a day and drastically effects productivity. (macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Macbook Pro 16 2019)

Illustrator crashes when using certain tools, when macbook goes to sleep, when left on too long, when selecting items (CMD+A)
Going mad trying to fix this bizzare problem on my new 2019 Macbook pro.
- Latest version of illustrator (24.1.2)
-Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, MD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBSince maybe last month, illustrator has been crashing more and more frequently, and at the strangest of times. I have everything almost exactly the same on my 2018 Macbook Pro and Illustrator is totally fine on that one. I can't quite figure out what is going wrong with this laptop.
For instance:

Illustrator and InDesign crashing multiple times a day
I have a weird crash — many but not all times I step away from my Mac (2020 MacBook Pro 16" running Catalina; 64GB RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB; Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB), Illustrator goes down (and often, InDesign as well). I'll come back and wake up the machine and am greeted with system crash messages. The crash message seems to be related to Dispatch queue. Is it possible this is tied to sleep functionality, or perhaps a GPU issue? Would love to resolve this.

Panels are mixed up and showing wrong content when docked
All panels and document windows show some frozen content. This happens daily until I restart. If panels are dragged to be floating they refresh correct until they are docked together again.

Zoom in keyboard shortcut bug
Since the update to Illustrator v. 24.1 the zoom in keyboard shortcut (cmd +) no longer works. The zoom out function (cmd -) does continue to work. I have the same issue in Adobe Acrobat. Any fixes would be appreciated.
