Recovery opens Print.ai document profile instead of restoring a document after crash
This has happened twice in the past few days, the first time Illustrator unexpectedly crashed and just now it froze and I had to force quit the program. Both times, when I reopen Illustrator it tells me it's recovered my file(s), shows the correct document name (like Untitled-3, etc) and I press OK. It then pulls up a document called Print.ai which is just a blank artboard, maybe something I made in the past and didn't use? I go to the folder on my computer where the recovered files are supposed to go, it will say the folder has been…
2 votesElizabeth, the team suspects that can be triggered by moving the original file to another folder while it’s still opened.
Then, if Ai crashes, if can’t properly locate it and it leads to this exact problem.
Does it sound like something that could have been the case?

Rearrange artboard does not work with large artboards...
Having an issue with the Rearrange All Artboards feature when using very large art boards. See attached screenshot. Two artboards, one 6x16ft and one 3x9ft. Rearrange All Artboards using columns only seem to give an error of: "Rearrangement would take some artboards out of canvas bounds." even though the artboard could be arranged manually with the same settings.
Unrelated: Can you PLEASE allow uploading of videos again (specifically webm). It really helps when trying to communicate bugs and feature requests).

Illustrator doesnt let me "Save as" or open a new file on Macbook M1
I have a Macbook air M1 with MacOs Monterey 12.2.1, Illustrator up to date 26.2.1 and for months I had been having an issue that happens anytime, when I want to Save as a file nothing happens or when I want to open a file directly from Illustrator nothing happens as well. And when it's a new file without a name it only let me saves it to Cloud when I close the doc. And whenever this inconvenient happen I have to close illustrator a re-open again the program and it's annoying because I'm waisting time and also I had…

Can't open AI files until I delete settings
Every time I try to open a file, I get the beach ball of death...spinning forever.
I've discovered the only way to get illustrator (beta or release versions) to open a file again is to delete the settings in the Library and restart AI/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator version-number Settings

Trim View gets disabled when switching artboards with Pixel Preview on
In a document with multiple artboards and bled artwork.
In Pixel Preview Mode, Turn on Trim View. Select a Different Artboard. Trim View Turns Off.With no shortcut for Trim View this means you have to go back to the menu for every artboard you click. If you're working with 15+ artboards this process becomes tedious.

Artboard name problem when exporting
When exporting files in image format the name of the first artboard aways differs from that of its subsequents, being outputed as "Untitled_Artboard 1" instead of "Untitled-01".
Given that every modification must be done "by hand", it turns out to be very exhausting.

Zoom difetto
Con l'aggiornamento del sistema operativo Mac OS 12 non si riesce ad avvicinare con lo zoom, il valore dipende dal file da 400%, si files più leggeri si arriva a 600%
Questo tenendo la risoluzione dello schermo alla massima risoluzione mentre se si scende come risoluzione a 2k il problema non si presenta. Sia con Illustrator 2021 che con il 20222 votes -
Artboard Options - Constrain Proportions Bug (Illustrator v25.4.1)
When I make an additional artboard using Shift + O, I click then drag the new artboard and when you hold Shift it constrains the new board to the same as the board made previously, like a rectangle. Holding Shift should make a square.
This issue occurs regardless of the Constrain Proportions box being checked or not.

Convert to Artboards doesn't work if there are Sublayers on the same Layer

"To create Artboards, select non-rotated rectangles that are not clipping masks."

Extremely slow to drag items, zoom in and out shows glitches
Mac OS Catalina, ver. 10.15.7
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MBIllustrator: 25.2.3
Illustrator is very slow at times and shows the rainbow wheel when I'm trying to move objects (even simple ones) around the artboard.
Also when zooming in and out the artwork becomes glitched (shows some fragments duplicated or parts of the artwork disappear). Restarting the program temporarily fixes the issue.2 votes -
Illustrator paste in front not pasting on current art board
Paste in front keeps pasting objects back on the original art board, not on the one I have in focus, or a selected object on. Seems to error randomly, but when it does not work, it blows my productivity.

Illustrator 25.2.1 Keeps losing links to images
I have a document that contains many imported images, every time I close it and reopen it I have to relink all of the images again. The links panel shows me the file name and the path but all that is on the artboard is a black square.
It has also been crashing more lately so of course I have to relink the images when I get it back up again.
Embedded images seem to stay but as we all know the file size is going to get crazy.

Actual Size View not to depend on Artboard
Actual Size View command (cmd+1) brings you to 100% Artboard view instead of 100% current view. If you are drawing way off any artboard, that command takes you to a completely different place from where you are.
Instead, I expect this command to have the same result as typing 100% in Navigator window or double-clicking Zoom tool.
I would also appreciate it if it respected the settings in Prefs>Selection>Zoom to Selection checkbox (currently the zoom box at the bottom of the window respects that, but the same box in Navigator panel doesn’t — which also looks like a bug).

Graphics do not show when document is opened, only in preview
When I open a document with several artboards that was created in the 2019 edition of Illustrator I can see all images in the preview - but when I open the document there are only empty artboards. How can I avoid recreating all my artwork?
My Illustrator is updated to the latest edition and the technicians have deleted all previous versions. My computer has 16 GB RAM, x-64 and runs the Windows 10 pro.2 votes -
Items cannot be centered in artboard
I am selecting an artboard. Then selecting my item. When I try to center them using Horizontal/Vertical Align Center, my item completely ignores my artboard (and any other artboard for that matter) and positions itself randomly.
Version 25.0
This feature is essential for us since we need to center dozens of icons for export.
