Save as .ai can be interrupted by another saveIf you are working on a new document, or opened an EPS or PDF, hit save as .ai and it does the background save, if you dont wait or dont realize it isnt finished, and try to save as PDF by way of example, the first save will not complete (ever) and this may result in a loss of data. Very reproducible 3 votes

Pixel Preview distorts text at 100 and 50% in CC 2020 (and 2020 beta)When Preferences > Display Print Size at 100% Zoom is checked Pixel Preview gives a distorted (and wrong size) preview.

 Zooming out to 100% or 50% shows very distorted text.

direct selection tool causes broken anchor points to snap to same angle???Since 24.3 the direct selection tool causes absolutely unwanted snapping of broken anchor points while moving one of the anchor points. That's absolutely wired and stops any workflow. Please fix this quickly again! -

Illustrator not deleting .tmp files after upgrades to CatalinaWe've recently started upgrading our users to Catalina, and since then multiple people have reported Illustrator is creating .tmp files that can't be deleted. We've turned off Save in Background, Export in Background, optimize saving for slow networks, and Saving Cloud documents. The issue seems to be intermittent, we haven't been able to find a pattern. When it makes these files, they can't be deleted in Finder. 3 votes

Very high latency/lag/delay with basic operationsI am using a wacom cintiq pro 24HD and a thinkpad P1 running the Win10 pro for workstations (2004 build). All my drivers are up to date. I am running the latest build of illustrator (v 24.3). There's very high lag with basic move / resize operations (1-2 seconds) both with and without using the cintiq. + pen. With the rotate and reflect tools, the lag is up to 4 minutes if i'm using the wacom, and it's still 1-2s without. Please help, this has been an issue over the last few releases of illustrator and it doesn't seem to… 3 votes

Asset export password bug 24.2.3Illustrator info: 24.2.3 (64bit) System info: 
 Windows 10Steps: 
 If I export artboards to pdf using the asset export window - each file will be password protected without me specifying it.This only happens if the last pdf I saved manualy (using save as) was password protected. Asset export will use the same password that I entered for this file. This would be a nice feature if it was an option you could select or de select, but not when it happens without informing me. The only workaround I know of, is to save a dummy pdf with the correct… 3 votes

Expanding simple paths autogenerates dozens of unnecessary Bezier pointsDrawing 2 overlapping shapes or paths (or shapes expanded from paths) could once be reliably split/trimmed/etc. cleanly using Pathfinder tools. Currently, doing so autogenerates dozens of unnecessary Bezier points. This can be cleaned up using the Smooth tool, but becomes a tedious process, especially given that the same cleaned shape will behave the same way if Pathfinder is used again. This is a critical part of my workflow that's become substantially disrupted by whatever change was made under the hood in the past 6 years. My hope is that with the change to other drawing tools, this is a preference… 3 votes

GPU Performance is deeply broken - UI overlay refresh issueWithin about 20-30 min of starting illustrator with GPU Performance enabled, everything goes haywire. It seems to be an issue with UI overlays such as art board bounding boxes and shape paths/points. As you pan about or adjust a shape, it seems that old overlays are not disposed and new overlays are just drawn on top resulting in layers and layers of overlays. The overlays are cleared if you zoom but when you start to pan or manipulate shapes again, the overlays continue to populate on screen. Images attached should illustrate the issue better then I can describe it. What… 3 votes

Crash on QuitIllustrator crashes on quit 4 out of 5 times on my Mac and has for many months and builds.

Individual anchor points fail to move with direct selection tool, and cannot add, delete or modify anchor points.Individual anchor points fail to move with direct selection tool, and cannot add, delete or modify anchor points. It happens only after a period of time working in a file. If I cut and paste the shape, the ability to manipulate the anchors returns for a time. If I close and reopen the file, the same is true. Working in the print industry, this is a big waste of time dealing with this bug. Happening on all systems in the department. Also just updated to 24.2.3, no change. 3 votes

Change Illustrator paste offset distance to closer to cursor inside of viewing areaIllustrator often pastes objects randomly outside of my viewing area, and I have to zoom out and scroll over to get it. I want to change the offset distance so it pastes inside my view area, not outside of it. OR, make it paste near where the cursor is, not way off somewhere. 3 votes
