    The Recent Files list on the Welcome page is not updated until Illustrator restart. E.g. you can create some new files and save them but they do not appear in the Recent Files welcome page. But they do appear if you restart the application.

  5. when I open Illustrator there are no tools showing

    I can't see my tools in Illustrator and I can't change or reset my Workspace :(

    I'm able to add some things like the Toolbar and Swatches/Layers/Etc windows, but I'm never able to see it complete, with that top bar that includes the Align + Transform + Etc

    Usually setting the Workspace to Essentials Classic does the job... please help!

  8. Fill/Stroke icons to match in the tools bar

    The smaller sub-icons for Fill and Stroke Boxes should match. (Fill is Full and Stroke is Hollow). Under stroke, the icons only change for the color, but the icons do not change for gradient and no/color/opacity.

  13. "In App" tutorials not actually In App

    When I click on these tutorials, nothing happens. When I called the help, they said there are only tutorials online.

    Why does this screen say "In App Tutorials" if there are only videos online? I'd assume that I could click on a tutorial option and it would walk me through the tutorial, similar to mail merge wizard. Or it would show pop up balloons with instructions on what to do, then I would do it.

  14. Horizontal Scroll Not Working

    Horizontal Scroll Not Working. Windows 10 HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-ch0xx. The horizontal scroll works on other apps and on Photoshop. The horizontal scroll only does not work on Illustrator. This is a new install because I am having my macbook pro repaired because I scratched my screen. On my mac the horizontal scroll works fine. The other problems I noticed on both my mac and the new PC install is the alignment distribute input unit of measurement does not show up sometimes. If I toggle the show/hide bounding box it fixes it. Also on both my mac and PC when…

  16. Extra "Object" title in Select menu

    Under the Select menu, there's a submenu called "Object", which allows you to quickly select certain kinds of things. But, directly below that one is another menu choice also called "Object" which seems to have no function. This appears to be an error and should be removed.

  17. Cannot Type in Search bar in the File Open dialog

    After saving a file in Illustrator, I go to File > Open > folder my files are in. Next, I use the upper right search bar to find the file I need. It will not allow me to type in that search bar. I have to close out of Illustrator, then reopen and start all over again to be able to type in the search bar.

  18. Keyboard shortcuts missing in File New dialog

    In the legacy File New dialog, there are keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate the settings, such as Alt+W for the Width input and Alt+L for Bleed. These are missing in the newer File New dialog.

    Luckily, we can still use Illustrator's Preferences to revert back to the legacy dialog, but keyboard shortcuts still do need to be implemented on the new dialog.

  19. A few menu oddities on 24.0

    Attached are screenshots for a few menu oddities I've found on Illustrator 24.0. None are workflow breaking, they're just odd stuff like duplicate entries or weird characters.
    Thanks!

  20. application frame glitch?

    • macOS Catalina 10.15, Illustrator 23.1.1

    this has happened twice since updating. each time has been random and in the middle of working as usual.

    suddenly, i will try to click on a panel, but nothing happens (none will open/expand unless moved from the bar to a separate panel). also when selecting a different document tab, the file name switches, but window stays the same. until you turn off the application frame. but if you do that, then when turning the frame back on, it's blank - no windows, tabs, panels, toolbars, etc. and wont let you turn anything else on…
