Proof Colors preview doesn't work on GPU (NVidia), only CPU
Illustrator CC 2017 version 21.1.0 (64 bit)
Dual Nvidia GTX 1060 cards, 6 GB VRAM (Not SLI)
Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00 GHzProof Colors preview doesn't work with GPU rendering, only on CPU.
Basically, when using GPU rendering, turning on Proof Colors and changing the proof setup to Simulate Paper Color, for example, does absolutely nothing. Document is in CMYK color mode, simulating SWOP 2, with simulate paper color activated.
When I change to CPU rendering, this works as expected. GPU rendering in InDesign and Photoshop also works as expected.
I've tried deleting Illustrator preferences, restarting, etc.

GPU Preview not available (grayed out) after editing artboard
With newest version of illustrator the GPU acceleration and GPU-Preview fails in some files. To test it i have created a blank document and the GPU preview works. But when I edit the artboard, the GPU preview is turned off at that moment and cannot be reactivated. Reset the Illustrator-Settings to default doesn't fix it.
Illustrator 25.2, MacPro2013, GPU AMD FirePro D700, Monitor 2560x1600Pixel, Wacom-Tablet, MacOs Catalina and Mojave testet.

"View using GPU" greyed out since Illustrator 2021
Since we have updated to Illustrator 2021, on one of our machines (Mac mini 2018) "View unsing GPU" (CMD+E) is greyed out and can’t be activated. GPU IS activated in the Illustrator Preferences! Using Illustrator 2020, this function works as usual.
An other glitch, that we noticed on both of our machines (the 2018 mini and a 2019 iMac): When opening a document in Illustrator 2021, the window turns black for a moment until the document is shown. This does not really cause any problems, it is just strange and does not occure with Illustrator 2020.

"Hairline," faint border around PNG exports
Whenever I export anything as a PNG in Illustrator with a transparent background, the PNG result shows up with a strange faint border around it. I've tried a multitude of "solutions" and nothing has worked, leading me to believe that this is a bug.
I'm working on a macOS Catalina 10.15.4, and on the most recent version of illustrator (24.1). My processor is 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, and graphics—Intel UHD Graphics 617 1536 MB.
(The image I have provided is the exported PNG image of that shape, and I've overlapped it ontop of the pre-export to show the…
6 votesThis is a GPU bug. If you toggle the rendering mode with View > View using CPU — no border will get rendered, the PNG actually does not have it. The problem is known though.

Illustrator Crashes when Opening File on Second Monitor
Illustrator is crashing when I open up the application on my second Monitor. But when I open it on my laptop it works. It will only work on my second monitor if I open it up on my laptop then drag to the second monitor. But if I want to open up another illustrator file it will crash again if I'm using the second monitor.

Uninstalling Duet Display fixes Premiere and Illustrator crash on file open and file create
I spent an hour trying to get Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere to simply open a file or create a new file. They would both crash immediately with the dialogue box that sends a crash report.
I uninstalled without saving settings and reinstalled both. I also ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool These made no difference.
Finally, on a hunch I uninstalled Duet Display, a program that allows you to use an iOS device as a second monitor. This fixed the issue.

Flickering cursor & preview bugs in bitmap
Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 (22.0.1)
Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6The cursor constantly flickers about a month ago when I was still using AI CC 2017 version. After I updated the CC to the latest version yesterday, the problem still occurred.
Besides, when I import a bitmap/ tiff file to AI, the whole image cannot be viewed. Some parts are hidden. It has the same issue when i export the AI file to jpg.

Illustrator suddenly switching to CPU preview, GPU preview greyed out
My little research has shown that the preview mode changes when zooming if the cmyk document contains cmyk images. In a cmyk document with rgb images or an rgb document with rgb/cmyk images, there is no gpu to cpu preview switching when zooming. To reproduce the bug, the document must include multiple images in order to impact performance during scaling. My system: i5 8400, 32 Gb, GTX1650 with latest Studio Driver installed, Asus PA329C, windows 11 Build 22621.1265, Illustrator 27.3.1 Here's what it looks like on my system.

Illustrator running really slow, no GPU preview
Hi Illustrator 25.3.1 is running horribly slow on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) / 2.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 / 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 / Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB - it is constantly running CPU Preview, I cannot get it to use GPU. Zoom in and out is awful to use. Illustrator is impeding my productivity. Please help.

Transparency mask not refreshing
I'm not sure if this is a GPU rendering issue or not. When selecting a group of objects and going into transparency mask mode to add a rectangle with black to white gradient, the effect is now not visible until I exit mask mode, which is very frustrating because I then have to keep switching over to see the effect.

Separations preview imac 5k very slow
There is some problem with Overprint preview turned on, everything becomes verry laggy. I'm on iMac 2019 27" with 40gb of RAM, SSD drive, no plugins. No matter which document is opened, the problem is same - very slow illustrator movement.
Only sollution is to run Illustrator in Low Resolution mode, then the problem does not exist.

Guides are too thin since last update
Since the last update (23.0.4) guides are almost invisible, especially when using the document grid in combination.
This is only the case when GPU performance is on. When it's switched off, the guides appear as usual. In the previous Illustrator version this problem didn't exist...
The strange thing is: while dragging other guides, or making a rectangle selection with the Selection Tool, the guides become thicker again. But, when I release the mouse again, they become thin again.

GPU Stroke Rendering Issue
OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Build 17G5019
2 x Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs (don't ask ;) )
64 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8191 MB
GPU Driver Version: 387.10.10.10.40.122
CUDA Driver Version: 418.105Hi, I noticed a small rendering issue with strokes in GPU mode. The boundaries seem to be somewhat inaccurate, to the point that in certain situations (regardless of whether or not they're joined and by any method), suck as a tee shape, a small bulge of one stroke can appear beyond the edge of another, even though they shouldn't.
See attached pictures, the problem area is…

Layers Panel Glitch
After upgrading to Mojave OS on a mac the layers panel glitches or flashes each time I click / draw on an art board or area outside an art board.
It also happens when I manipulate the layers panel in any way, toggling visibility, opening or closing layer groups or any other operation.
This flashing is irritating and takes my eye from the work.

Vectors rendered too thick on screen
Since the update to 22.1, all vector lines are being rendered too thickly on screen. Compare any lines drawn in AI with how they appear when printed out - they are inaccurately rendered on screen. Illustrator is a vector application, it cannot be displaying vectors with such poor quality on screen.
