Adobe Color Themes panel becomes blank and unresponsive
The panel works as intended for a while, but after working for a while (20 min or so) -The Adobe Color Theme Panel becomes blank after trying to switch between "create" & "explore".
Closing and restarting Illustrator 2018 fixes this, but that become s big pain to have to keep closing and re-opening all your files just to use the color theme tools.
I'm not sure if it is caused by the webseach that happens with the "..." elipses dots, but sometimes it seems that it just doesn't find the color website and that is why it doesn't show anything.…

Files don’t get displayed when opened or displayed corrupted with Application Frame enabled
These are not 'ideas' they are bugs, errors, problems - stop with the Orwellian language, just makes you look insincere and untruthful.
The problem:
When Application Frame is selected, files either do not display when opened or have a corrupted display. Doesn't happen every time, but quite often.
Mac Pro macOS 10.12.6, Illustrator 22.14 votesHi,

Thanks

Custom Views, unlocking layers
"Custom Views unlocking layers"
Hi, I found something that I believe that wasn't supposed to work that way. I made a "Process" describing what's happening, but my point here is that I didn't expect the Views Feature to unlock layers, I thought it was only supposed to change the Zoom and view location.
Process:
1- Create a New view with everything unlocked
2- Lock some Layers.
3- Activate your view.Result: Everything gets unlocked

as if the shift key is stuck (all functions and operations)
After installing the new version, when in Illustrator, shift key has to be held down or things don't work. It's as if the shift key is pressed and I have to press it to release it, if you know what I mean. If I try to select a new tool and click it in the tool panel - nothing happens. If I hit the shift key and do the same again - works fine.

Vectors disappearing
When working on art-boards with a lot of vectors, not all of them show up. It's as if it can't handle working with that many.

Tools panel always in 2 colmun mode
Whenever I start Illustrator the Tools Panel is always in 2 columns mode, regardless of how it was when I last closed the application. I much prefer the 1 column mode so I have to change it every time.
Strangely this bug no longer happens if the "Show the Start Workspace when no documents are open" is enabled. Trouble is, I want it disabled that since makes Illustrator start faster.

Layers Window Twirl Down Icon Issue
I only know of this occurring on the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 for Windows 8.1. In the Layers Windows, there's a very slight graphical bug. A locked group within another locked group is expanded to show what it contains by pressing the sideways "V" shaped arrow to the group's left side. As expected, the arrow plays its animation of rotating into the downward "V" shape and expanding the group. However, when the locked group is compressed down again, the button to expand the group disappears and is unclickable until clicking off to another item in the Layers…

All Dialog Boxes Open Behind App
This is happening more and more, and usually when first opening the application. If some dialog box, typically a warning or something, pops up but for some reason then gets pushed behind or hidden by the main app window, there is no way to get back to it and no way for the app to function. Trying to click on ANY part of the app just gets the "no - beep", the sound that plays when you are trying to do something but something else has to happen first... like if a warning box pops up and you try to…

Bounding box is incorrectly displayed on multiple highdpi displays
When using multiple monitors with different Hi-DPI settings on Windows OS, the bounding box for the selected item is sometimes displayed incorrectly.
I work on a dual display setup: my primary monitor is a 15.6inch 4K display @ 200% DPI scaling settings, and my second monitor is 24inch 2560*1440 display @ 125% DPI scaling.
When working on a larger second monitor, the bounding box for a selected item is displayed at an incorrect position, which makes the work very difficult.4 votes -
Make pressing Escape close Color modal dropdowns for Fill and Stroke in all panels
If we open Character panel, unfold any dropdown in it and press Escape — this dropdown closes back.
If we click underlined Stroke or Opacity in Properties, pressing Escape does the same.
But if we click Fill or Stroke button in any panel (Control, Properties, Appearance), to get the Swatches/Mixer/Gradient/Generate dropdown... Escape does nothing.
It should close this dropdown, as it does for everything else in Ai.3 votes -
Home Screen shows incorrect data at start of month
At the beginning of a month, the Home Screen reports inaccurate "last modified" dates on recently opened documents. For example, on 1st March, a document last opened on 28th February is reported as having been opened "1 month ago" instead of "1 day ago".

Reduce History Panel Minimum Width
Please reduce the history panel minimum width.
Currently it's wider than (almost?) all of the history step names.Ideally this panel width could reduce to just show the icons of each history step.
Common actions like Move and Clear would benefit from icons better representing the changes made.
All the different type adjustments would also benefit from displaying their corresponding icons from their respective panels (font size, letter spacing, line height, paragraph alignment etc.)
Thanks for delivering the History Panel!

The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in
The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in Chinese, making it very difficult to distinguish.
The red part does not follow the operating system font, and the blue part correctly follows the operating system font. In Chinese Windows, the default font of the operating system is "Microsoft Yahei"

Please check it and reply back if it’s still broken.

Giant splash screen ads in paid for, professional subscription is a BUG
I am sick to death of the huge, intrusive, non-cancelable, and occasionally completely incapacitating ads popping up in a very expensive, professional, enterprise-level paid-for subscription. This is so unbelievably unprofessional and unconscionable in a paid subscription.
I have been working for 10+ hours today in Illustrator and Photoshop, and have had several pop ups. But this one was the last straw. It nearly covered the whole screen. I can't close it and tell it never ask me this again, oh no, I can only request that it defer the annoying shill until the middle of another, future, equally tense deadline…

Translation error for Turkish
Column for Turkish is Sütun; but it is misspelled and written as sütün.
All sütün words must be replaced with Sütun.
You can see it in new document window (sütünlar).3 votes -
Make Adobe products inclusive for people with vision problems.
It is impossible to change the menu color (make it dark like the rest of the interface) in Illustrator even after editing the registry in Windows 11. Only the Effect menu changes color according to the system settings, the rest (File, Edit, Type etc) remain blinding-white, which is critically bad for people with vision problems.

Horizontal Scroll **** + mouse wheel
On mac OS, Illustrator version 27.8
Scrolling horizontally using SHIFT key + mouse wheel, is broken, and appears to be an obvious mathematical error.
Expected behaviour is for the view to scroll left or right.
Actual behaviour is that is works at some zoom levels, say 300% or 400%, but at higher zoom levels it barely scrolls a few pixels, and at 100% or less, it scrolls the entire page or worse for the smallest increment of the mouse wheel.
It seems clear that the zoom amount has been factored into the scroll amount inversely by accident.
This is a…

オブジェクトを再配色にて、RGBスライダーが短く表示される
Mac OS 12.6 Monterey
Illustrator27.2(27.1.*)再配色ウインドウを開いた時に、下部の調整部分がRGBだとバーが短く表示されます。CMYKや他の調整モードに切り替えた後RGBに戻すとバーの長さは戻りますが、何度も切り替えているとRGBのバーのみがまた短くなることがあります。
27.2にアップデートすることで解決するかと思いましたが解決していなかったので、前のバージョンの正確な数字を覚えていないのですが27.1.*でも同様でした。3 votes
