  1. Page selection when opening a PDF

    This is should be beyond trivial to correct, and there are users all over the place asking for this in a different issue report:

    Please fix the UI for page-selection when opening a PDF in Illustrator!
    Browsing through the thumbnails at the top of the dialog should automatically select that page to open below. It is bad UX to scroll through the pages to find the one that you want and then have to manually enter it below---I can't think of a single reason to have these UI elements disconnected (as they presently are), and there's no reason not to…

  2. can't highlight width and height cells or file name when creating a new document

    Why did you take away the ability to easily highlight the document name, width or height when creating a new file? Super irritating.

  3. New Layer button change now inserts new layer BELOW active layer

    With the addition of the button for adding a new Sub Layer, the current button for adding a New Layer now adopts the same behavior of adding a layer BELOW the current active layer, opposite to what was legacy behavior before.
    I checked, and dragging a layer to the New Layer button to make a copy still deposits the new layer copy ABOVE the current active layer, so something isn't right with the new change.

    That said, nice new option I didn't realize was there in the New Sub Level button, convenient, thank you.

  4. Everytime I open Illustrator the toolbars are missing

    Everytime I open Illustrator the toolbars are missing, even if I redefine the mode (classic, essentials, layout) they still don't appear. So everytime I have to go to window and add manually, which works, but if I close I have to do it all over again.

  5. Dragging Live Corners Rotates Object Instead of Rounding the Corner

    OS: Windows 10 Pro 1909
    Version: Illustrator 24.3

    Expected result:
    Hovering over a live corner and dragging it should let me round the corner.

    Actual result:
    Dragging a live corner more often than not rotates the object instead. Only by making sure my cursor is hovering as far away as it can be from the corner, but still showing the curve icon and dragging can I consistently get the right behaviour. Otherwise it rotates the object instead.

    This has been something I've experienced since at least March, and there's an Adobe Support Community post about this same issue from April…

  7. Ui disappeared after update

    After the most recent update, it looks like most of the ui has disappeared. Switching to EssentiaIs didn't fix it. I can still add windows (see attached)

  9. Illustrator crashes when switching views in the Asset Export panel

    Has this been reported yet? There's a really easy-to-reproduce crash bug in Adobe Illustrator involving the Asset Export panel that affects even the latest version (24.2) .
    If the Asset Export panel contains more than two items and an item other than the first is currently being renamed and the view is attempted to be switched from Grid View to List View, the mouse cursor will begin to move really slowly for a few seconds and after that, Illustrator will crash. See the video attached for a demonstration.

    Some system info:
    Adobe Illustrator 24.2
    OS: Windows
    Version: 10.0
    System Architecture:…

  11. Illustrator Recent Files list on the welcome page is not updated until the application restart

    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.

  13. 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!

  16. 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.

  20. "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.
