Free transform tool is broken
When using the free transform tool to resize a text box, the transform isn't smooth, it jumps by huge amounts when dragging, and produces completely unpredictable results. After that, the outline of the text box disappears, but is still selected.

First click is lost when focusing the window
Windows, when Illustrator isn't focused, clicking inside the window, the click is lost, another click is needed to perform the intended action. Annoying, because the second click is treated as double click.
To reproduce:
Open Illustrator and move the window to the left. Open another program, for example a text editor. Clicking in the illustrator window over a text (with the intent of copying the text causes just focusing the window, the text itself isn't selected. Only the second click selects the text.2 votes -

We need to always keep the version of Adobe Illustrator CC up to date.
Recently, the CC version used by the company has been upgraded from 2019 to 2020.We use the attached .NET Illustrator library module.
As with other similar cases, I believe Adobe will solve it.
Older versions work fine.

Some files are gray in MacOS 10.15.1 open/place dialogs
When accessing the open/place dialog on MacOS 10.15.1, some file names are gray while others are the normal black. They are still selectable, but gray. It looks like you can't select them, though. Disconcerting.

Pen tool shortcuts not working. Pen tool always wants to start a new path (with asterisk next to it)
Mac OS 10.14.6
Illustrator 23.1.1
When selecting the pen tool it used to change to the add point tool when I hovered over the selected path, and if I hovered over an existing selected point, it would change to minus point tool. Holding down option would allow you to move the handles on a point. None of these shortcuts work any more. I can't continue an existing path either, the pen tool always wants to start a new path (with a little asterisk next to it).

Using brush tool either freezes AI or stops displaying on canvas but is updating in layers
Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.0
My system: Windows 10When using the brush tool after a few minutes it either freezes AI or it will stop working on the canvas.
So I can still use the mouse or tablet to move the cursor but nothing is transpiring on the canvas. However, in the layer section it is updating each stroke.It is doing it every time I start a new project.

Applescript "open without dialogs" no longer works
I have an Applescript that has the statement
open (thePDFName as alias) without dialogs
In Adobe Illustrator 2019, it works. In Adobe Illustrator 2020, it gives me an "unable to open file" error. When I comment out "without dialogs", it opens the file, but then naturally pops open a dialog (not helpful when you are opening dozens of files!)
MacOS 10.13.6, not sure what other information would be needed.
2 votesThis issue is reproducible with HFS paths.
Workaround: Use the POSIX path for opening files
Example:
set myFilePath to POSIX path of theAIFile
open file myFilePath without dialogs -
Character Panel Typing Font Names Manually Issue
When trying to type certain font names manually in the first field the placement of the letters jumps to the wrong spot.
When I type "Arial Bold", "Arial Regular", or "Cooper Black" the cursor or text placement seems to fail and not type the text in order from left to right. I saw one other post here with a similar issue but it could not be reproduced. This is the first time I have seen this so far on the new Illustrator CC 2020. After typing the "o" in "Arial Bold" the letters end up typing to the left of…

'Preview' instantly applies effect or operation
If I go to any dialogue box that has a 'preview' option, the effect is applied as soon as the box is checked. If I then click 'cancel' the effect is still applied. Altering the parameters applies the new value to the previously applied value.
For example, I draw and box and open the Scale options. With 'preview' selected, I change the value from 100% to 200% and then to 150%. The box is scaled to 350% in total.
Also, the Recolour Artwork box will only allow me to change a colour once. Again, applying the change instantly even if…

Object Selection by Path Only broken with symbols
In Preferences, under Selection and Anchor Display, check Object Selection by Path Only.
Create or open a document.
Drag a symbol out of the Symbol panel. Choose one with a large filled area.
Zoom in on the symbol.
With either of the 3 selection tools, drag over a filled part of the symbol. Do not drag over any paths.
It doesn't matter whether you're viewing in Outline or Preview.
The symbol becomes selected.
It should not become selected due to the prefs option noted above.
It worked correctly in v22 & CS6 etc. It's been close to a year with…2 votes -
