'could not complete package' message in Illustrator CC 2019
Trying to package an illustrator file is met with 'could not complete package' message. No further explanation is provided. This is an inconsistent error, it seems more common when the file contains .eps links.

Viewing New Features from Learn kept playing—after quitting
With an Illustrator document open I clicked the Learn icon in Control panel, and chose New Features and clicked to watch the Properties panel movie. I quit AI and the movie began to play again… I hadn't quit it.
there was no way to stop it. I muted the computer and restarted AI where the movie resumed and I could stop it. I resumed it playing and quit again and it quit the movie this time. so I couldn't replicate it—but it was odd!3 votes -
handles
- Version 23.0.1
- I was working as usual but suddenly kept closing and running slowly. I had lost what I was doing once. Then opened up again and couldn't extend lines anymore, there wasn't centre handles nor white anchors in any object I draw.

Have to zoom a lot to reveal middle handles with small objects
MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54) and Illustrator CC2019 23.0.1
MBP 2018, i9, 32 Gb, Radeon Pro Vega 20, 4080 MtIt seems like Illustrator CC2019 has an issue with handles vanishing (at least on my system)
If you have a long and narrow (either horizontally or vertically), or otherwise small object, you have to zoom very very close to reveal the middle handle. Makes changing lengths of said objects pretty hard when matching with other objects with, for example, snapping etc.3 votes -

Key object selection mismatch
When I select two objects and choose the key object for allignment, the top allignment option shows the «Align to key object» and object gets highlighted, however if I go to the sidebar to introduce a spacing number it shows «Align to selection» instead and I need to change the option again. This is so frustrating.

Scale tool bug with Shift+Alt
window 10 / cc2019 (been seeing this issue in 2018 and 2017 too)
Scale tool selected
press shift+Alt
click anywhere on the workareaThis sends illustrator nuts: the scaling cursor doesn't stick to the place you click, nor it goes away. No other tool is selectable, no action can be taken. After minutes (actual minutes) the scaling tool popup window appears, then you can close it and go on woth the work.
I know this tool is not supposet to do anything with shift+alt+click but often i keep those keys by mistake. This would be easily solved with an exception…

Stop asking about switching to the Touch interface
I have a laptop with a touch screen (that I never use, and never intend to use). Every time I open Illustrator, it tells me that it has detected that I am using a touch enabled screen and asks if I want to switch. I would be VERY appreciative if you could make this pop up with a "don't ask me again on this computer" checkbox as it is really annoying as it not always obvious that it has popped up and it makes the screen unresponsive.
3 votesHi,
Sorry to hear that this dialog was annoying you so much. I am glad to share that this has been removed from the latest release of Illustrator. Please upgrade to latest version to get rid of this issue.
Thanks

Adobe Color Themes pop up is unnecessary and obstructive.
When using the Adobe Color Themes panel, there's a pop up that says "Click to set active color" when you hover over color swatches. You can't click on the color beneath the pop up without first moving the mouse off of the pop up. It makes using the color themes panel slow and obnoxious. Please either move the location of the pop up off of the swatches one is trying to access, or remove it altogether (or give us an option to disable it)
Turning off "Show Tool Tips" in preferences doesn't fix the issue.
It is also an issue…

AI CC2019 slow and jittery on iMac 27" 5k w/ 40gb ram and 4.2ghz i7 processor... why???
Why is this program so slow? I have a fairly robust iMac, working in vectors... trying to layout a simple menu board and the program is jittery and laggy. I have two programs open at the moment: AI and Photoshop

Can't put objects exactly in the middle of another object
At first I thouht it was an alignment problem, then i looked up to help videos but none of them solves my problem. I want to put a figure for example a square, then I want to put another square to have the exact triangle of that square but it won't let me make another figure exactly in the middle, it always goes left or right but not center. Help please!!

Unoperational
I'm trying to use Illustrator CC and nothing in the program is responding, everything is greyed out. There is no indication from the program that anything is wrong with it. I have downloaded the latest update and this is the first time I have had such an issue with the program.

text edit
Editing text in Illustrator 2019 is so difficult -- there's a heavy lag, and it is incredibly frustrating. This is size 12 font, small file -- there is no reason why editing this text should be lagging, and I've noticed others having the same problem. Please fix this ASAP!

No Adobe CC App is working properly since the update of Mac OS to Mojave and the update to 2019 Adobe CC has only made matter worst
What are we to do this is very frustrating that Adobe CC is not working properly. Have been trying to use it for 2 days. Even spent the entire evening online and on the phone with support. I gave 1 rep remote access to my Mac twice and he deleted several items and uninstalled the CC and reinstalled only to have it doing the same thing. Then had to call about Adobe Spark moments later because I was getting a 400 Bad Request. I am convinced something is wrong with Adobe and we are expected to deal with it.

Lags horribly...I cannot do anything because of this. This was before and after update. This happens with Adobe PDF too.
Lags horribly...I cannot do anything because of this. This was before and after update. This happens with Adobe DC and InDesign I too. I haven't tried other CC apps but Pages (not an Adobe app) works fine and so does the internet. I removed Windows Bootcamp from my Mac thinking that it was a space issue. At this rate I am unable to get any work done. Very frustrating

Libraries now converts all my saved Spot CMYK swatches to RGB.
I can no longer bring in my previously made Spot CMYK swatches as CMYK. All my spot color swatches are converted to RGB. I can create new spot CMYK swatches that come in properly in a newly created library but anything created in the past or in a previously made library is now all RGB.
