Illustrator will not start. Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly during the previous launch....Run Diagnostics or Launch Ilustrator
Illustrator was working fine for the last year on this computer and yesterday decided it did not want to start anymore. All other adobe products open just fine, except illustrator. I've been searching for the last hour for answers and nothing. What gives adobe.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, adobe cc cleaner, deleted prefs, and still keeps crashing.
Here's what happens:

Snap to Point causes jumping with long Guides
I'm using very long guides to create a custom angled grid, and use Snap to Point to snap paths to intersections of those guides. However, sometimes the Snap to Point causes "jumping", i.e. it tries to snap to the intersection, but when it does, it scrolls the document a tad upwards, and hence goes immediately out of snap. Sometimes it even causes jumps of hundreds of millimeters. It doesn't always happens, but only with some guides intersecting in some points. I cannot really say what actually makes it happen.
I created a test file to where I isolated only three…
3 votesI wonder if you can still replicate the issue.
You never shared the test file you said you had, so it’s somewhat hard to replicate this. Also a video would be helpful as well.
Can you please try again?

Illustrator shows spinning circle - tried everything
I can use the mouse, but the cursor has a spinning wheel even outside Illustrator, and the menus don't work. I've been through checklists about install/reinstall, remove user preference folder, in Illustrator as in other products, I've tried moving all the fonts I could from the fonts folder. I've rebooted multiple times. I've tried reinstalling Illustrator. After doing all this, I get error messages such as "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (SExi)", "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (CANT)". I'm currently also using After Effects - I removed the user preferences using the…

The "HDV 1080" preset needs fixing
The "HDV 1080" preset resolution is 1920x1080. Small point, but the resolution of HDV is 1440x1080, so the naming of it is kinda wrong. I think in Photoshop, AE & Premiere, it's referred to as the "HDTV 1080" preset, so I think it's probably a mistake/typo by someone at Adobe.
Also, the preset gives you an extra artboard which is 14400 x 14400 px for some reason (I imagine it's also a bug), so when you try to export your file, it always defaults to exporting this artboard unless you delete it. Again, small thing but clearly a mistake and…

Link location mistaken for other document's link location
When opening a specific document, links are found missing.
When I open the document nevertheless, click on a link and check the location, the path it shows is one that was used in a previously opened, unrelated document.
When my colleague opens the document on her computer, everything is fine.

Illustrator won't open more than one file at a time.
I have version 21.1.0 (64 bit) running on Windows 10 (more system details in attached png). I am not able to open more than one file at a time. What happens:
- I open a file.
- I double click to open another AI file (other file opening methods have same results).
- Nothing happens. One file remains open. I might see the spinner mouse for a sec but the second file never opens.
- If I try to close the first file, leaving Illustrator open, and open a new file, Illustrator becomes unresponsive and I have to close it via the Task Manager.

Hitting Enter/Return to confirm after modifying values (Stroke, Opacity, Etc) in the Top Toolbar Opens a Move Dialog Box Instead
When modify values such as opacity in the toolbar, i have always hit enter/return to confirm changes. As of recently however, this now opens a Move dialog box instead of submitting my changes. (See the attached gif for an example)
If there is something wrong about my workflow please let me know, but I don't currently see any other way of confirming these types of minor edits.
After several rounds of cancelling the move dialog, the changes will miraculously go through, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why. As you can imagine, this is…

Fonts Slow EVERYTHING Down
Fonts are the slowest feature in programs from MS Office to Adobe. This problem just caused me to lose work because AI shut down while trying to figure out how to manage a standard font with which I was working. Thanks for nothing AI and your simpleton font generators. You're fired.

Illustrator 30.3+ silently substitutes installed fonts without reporting them missing (prepress risk on macOS)
This is reproducible with a single existing AI file by opening it in 30.2.1 and then opening the identical file in 30.3+ on the same Mac without changing any fonts.
Starting with Illustrator 30.3 on macOS, Illustrator silently renders some installed fonts as Myriad while continuing to report "Missing Fonts: 0." This creates a serious prepress issue because converting text to outlines permanently outlines the wrong font with no warning.
I am using Monotype Connect Fonts to manage fonts.
Versions tested on the same Mac with the same AI file and same font environment:

Problème de saisie des dimensions dans Illustrator sous mac et Photosphop sous mac / Illustrator 30.8 / Photoshop 27.9.1 / macOS 26.6.2
Lors de la création d'un nouveau document sur Illustrator ou Photoshop, lorsque que je saisis une nouvelle largeur/hauteur : la valeur revient toute seule à l’ancienne ; parfois cela se produit plusieurs fois avant d'obtenir la saisie souhaitée. Cela se produit quelle que soit la valeur utilisée : pixels, mm, centimètres.... D'ailleurs il est très compliqué aussi de revenir à des mm si on est pixels, le logiciel revient systématiquement à la dernière valeur enregistrée.... C'est fatiguant. Perte de temps énorme. Ce bug persiste depuis plusieurs mois déjà. il faut absolument résoudre ce problème.

Some CC Library linked assets cannot be found -- all files with renamed linked assets are damaged and this disruptive messages interferes
I've renamed CC library assets. Now, all Illustrator files that use these assets are broken.
When such a file is opened, I get constant messages that say "Some CC Library linked assets cannot be found. Click Replace to relink assets using the Links panel." As I try to relink, I the message again and again, preventing me from working the file. Also, when I choose replace, my CC libraries flatten and I can't search or navigate to the assets. I can select broken assets and choose embed as well as "edit original" So, the assets are still linked, but the…2 votes
