Artboard spacing value looses precision
I use classic New Document dialog (it’s fast and reliable, unlike the modern one).
Within it, I can set a value that later would be used to space new artboards when adding ones, or to rearrange them.
If I only have one artboard (and I usually create one only, even when a project later gets more), I can’t set this value immediately, and the value gets transferred from the previous one I set there......not really. Here, I have to make it 2 artboards to have the field active (why? — I made another request to have it active — …

Renaming an artboard in Artboards panel scrolls to have the item on top
The way it works in the newest update is infuriating.
In the newest update, when I change the name of an artboard in the Artboards panel, the panel automatically scrolls to have that item at the top. I keep losing my place in the Artboards panel and I can't keep track of what I'm doing. I don't see a benefit of the list jumping around all the time. It's horrific to work with.4 votesThe fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

Illustrator keeps stealing focus when opening documents in background...
When selecting a lot of files in windows and then opening them in AI, for every document that opens, AI takes the focus away from whatever I am doing in the background. This is very annoying. Please fix.

Cannot open cloud documents on another device
I have an iMac and Macbook Pro both running Catalina, I am using both AI 2020 and 2021 (on both devices) as I have a plugin that is not yet supported on 2021.
This problem occurs on both devices and both versions of AI, when I work on one device and save to cloud, I cannot then open the saved file on the other device. This works in both directions, no matter which device/version I create the file on. I have to close down illustrator completely and/or restart the device (which is crazy as it is so detrimental to workflow).…4 votes -
Offset Path value in Large canvas becomes smaller ten times when the effect is used again
When using a large canvas and doing an Offset path, if I offset a path by say 5mm, the next time I use the tool only 0.5mm shows in the dialog box. Not a big issue, but an error nonetheless.

shift does not create square artboard, but uses previous proportions
illustrator 2020 - 24.2.3
mac os catalina 10.15.6in the newest version of illustrator, creating a new artboard while pressing shift just creates an artboard at the same dimensions as the previous one, rather than as a square. having to take the extra steps to manually type in exact square dimensions is a real time suck when i have to create many different sizes on one document. there should be a way to get that old setting back!

Duplicated artboards containing Export Assets link to the new artwork not the original
As the title says, Assets in the Export panel move from the original artboard and become linked to the new artwork on the duplicated artboards. Subsequently when you remove any artwork from the new artboard, you inadvertantly remove the asset from the Export panel.
Methodology:
Duplicate an artboard (which contains an asset in the export assets panel) via the Alt-drag method. Ensure the move/copy artwork option is enabled. Delete the new copy of the artwork/asset on the new artboard, and the asset is removed from the export panel.Expected behaviour:
Any link to/connection to export assets should be retained by…4 votes -
Illustrator Recovery-Mode has Turned all my Images Black
I was in the process of saving my original Illustrator file and it froze then crashed, I re-opened the software and it recovered the document but all my images have turned black.
And it's not a links problem, most images are embedded and I have a separate links folder containing the remaining linked images, as you can see there are no missing links.

Mutiple profiles & Artboards
Illustrator Version: CC 2019 (23.0.3)
Mac: Mojave (10.14.2) 5k 27" 32gb RamFirstly there are 3 Film & Video profile dropdowns (1. Film & Video, 2. Film and Video, 3. Video and Film). Not sure why.
No matter what general preset I use or artboard size preset I choose I get 2 artboards.
1 artboard is the correct size and the other is basically the complete canvas area.
I am constantly having to delete the 2nd artboard.
Can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Pixel number inconsistency
Windows 10? (most recent and just updated yesterday)
Illustrator 22.1 (64bit)When I told Illustrator to create an artboard of 350x350 pixels, I thought it could actually do so. That was the template image size that our web designer propogated across our entire website.
Then I exported 11 images from Illustrator to .png format to re-build one of our webpages. They came out as 1459x1459. Now I will resize them in Microsoft Paint. They'll pixelate and probably look like trash. All because Illustrator can't understand "350 pixels x 350 pixels" on the Create New prompt window.
Flaming dumpster fire. I…
4 votesThe intended way to ensure your pixel-sized document stays the same size after export is to use the default screen resolution — 72 PPI.
If you set anything else, Illustrator will scale the image accordingly (as if the 'Resample' option in Photoshop is ticked when you resize an image).
There is no way to write a custom resolution AND maintain the desired size at the same time.
The reasoning behind this behaviour is that the resolution value is supposed irrelevant when an image’s intent is Screen or Web. An image can have no resolution value stored in it at all, it’s just an optional coefficient, and then different viewers and editors suppose a value on their own — usually 72 PPI (Mac-style) or 96 PPI (Windows-style).
Unlike other editors, Illustrator has a continuous range for all measurements units. One pixel is considered to be equal one point, and a point…

Film and Video presets have an unnecessary Artboard 2
Every new document created has 2 artboards (At least when creating from the 1920x1080 HD video template) Every time I go to export a jpg or png via save for web, it slows to a crawl because of a huge unnecessary artboard. I only want to export the size artboard I created, the HD size. But I have to wait for it to catch up and then cancel, delete the useless artboard, then go back to exporting. The whole process takes several minutes and is infuriating.
4 votesThis artboard has a purpose.
As mentioned here in comments and in several discussions (here or here), this artboard is needed when importing the file as a composition into After Effects.
Quoting Ton Frederiks (thanks):
With a single artboard, After Effects clips the content outside the artboard even when Retain Layer Sizes is selected.
With the second large artboard, AE will show the contents of layers when Retain Layer Sizes is selected.
Another way to solve it is to create a single large artboard that has the size of all the artwork.

The Operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [x!fd]
This issue happens with older templates. When I open older files, it gives this message: The Operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [x!fd]. I have a gotten this message in 2017 and Adobe step up to fix the issue, but the previous update and this one still has the issue. I can open these in previous versions of Illustrator. It's really a pain to fix the file as I have to save in Illustrator 8 and then reimport the text as this conversion converts the type to curves. Now to make matters worse if I save the file…

Using arrow keys for incrementing an artboard’s width doesn’t work
When resizing an artboard using the 'Artboard options' panel it is possible to increment the size using the arrow keys, one MM at a time for example.
This feature now only works intermittently for the Width field. It is still possible to change the number and the artboard will adjust.4 votesHi,
Thanks for writing to us.
We are working on this issue. We will notify you once this is fixed.Thanks & Regards

Bug when Setting Artboard Ruler Origins
Ai v 22.0.0
macOS 10.12.6After updating from CC 2017 to CC 2018, I can now no longer assign individual Artboard Ruler Origins to each Artboard in a document
I use several nested Artboards to control different areas of the same artwork and assign the Ruler Origin of each to the same object. After the update, I can now only assign the ruler origin of one of the nested Artboards to the selected object; the Origin does not change on the others.
I have tried deleting all existing Artboards and then creating them and setting the Ruler Origin one at…

Delete Artboard should not spam in History when only one artboard remains
While deleting artboards rapidly works now s it should, I can’t but notice that even when the only artboard is left, the Delete Artboard command and step still fires up and pollutes the History panel. With the only artboard left the command should just do nothing (until Ai team decided to invent the artboardless canvas and break all the things).
