Layer's not working - Bring Forward Not working
I have tried various ways to get this graphic to show OVERTOP of the blue box. At first I tried just the "object arrange bring to front" and after that didn't work for some reason, I just used the layer panel. As you can see... even having the head on the top later OVER the bottom layer... it still will not show upfront.

alt + mouse
When holding down alt and moving the mouse, the cursor lags almost like it is being processed at 10 fps. I'm using all high-end components, so it's not an issue with processing power.

Add Clipboard Clear Data Tab
Hi, it is great that when closing the illustrator file I am able to clear my data, however, other than some tech hacks, I've found this is the only simple way to do so.
I've unfortunately been working on a crashing document for the majority of the day and can't clear my clipboard because ethe program crashes when I close it down. This is a 4 word phrase with a blended path, nothing else. When running AI, it takes up 97% of my memory.
It would be awesome if there was a simpler and manual way to clear my clipboard data while working.

Illustrator not opening Fusion 360 DXFs after 25.0.1
The primary reason I use Illustrator (on my Intel Mac running Big Sur) is to further process the DXFs generated by Fusion 360 and prepare them for laser cutting. Recently, illustrator started opening these files as blank, even though online viewers display them just fine. According to internet research, this should have been fixed in version 25.0.1. However, after updating and reinstalling illustrator the issue persists. This is incredibly frustrating as my laser has been unused for a number of weeks as I can’t prepare files. Please fix!

Contents of CC Libraries panel shrinks when Cmd +/- used
The panel with all the swatches and assets I have saved will suddenly shrink as if I hit Cmd +/-. This mainly happens in illustrator but has happened in InDesign and Photoshop as well. Then I wont be able to click into or out of the libraries tab or accurately select what I want in the library as well.

No text selection on New Document window
I have been experiencing a problem since Illustrator 2020.
When in the New Document window, I can't select any text on the inputs such as File name, Height, Width, Bleed etc.
I usually select by clicking and dragging, but it isn't working. The only way to select the entire text for me now is by clicking 3 times at the end.
I reinstalled my windows 10 system for other reasons, but the problem persists.
Everything seems fine on other Adobe applications, though.

Enregistrement de mon travail
Lorsque je travail sur un dessin, je ne trouve aucun lien pou l’enregistrer. apparement cela devrait se faire autan magiquement au moment où je ferme le fichier. Mais ce n’est pas le cas. A chaque fois que je ferme, je revient à mon dessin initiale. Aucune modification n’a été enregistrée. Comment puis je sauvegarder mes modification???

Illustrator 2021
I have a 2015 macbook pro Catalina OS ver 10.15.7, 8 Gb 1867 MHz DDR3 with over 100 Gb free and an intel iris Graphics 6100 1536 graphics card
This computer was powerful enough to run the previous version of illustrator. However, with the new version (2021) there has been a significant slowdown to the point where even copy pasting a simple design takes a minute to do. It is slow and the lag is insufferable. Is there anyway down grading can become available or an option? Or is there something I can do to improve the performance of illustrator 2021 ?I have a 2015 macbook pro Catalina OS ver 10.15.7, 8 Gb 1867 MHz DDR3 with over 100 Gb free and an intel iris Graphics 6100 1536 graphics card

MacOX Big Sur Laggy
I've noticed two issues with Illustrator 2021 running on macOS Big Sur.
The performance is laggy when I try to move an image around. I hold the image and drag it. The image stops moving, then skips.
Second, when I option hold an image to duplicate it, it sometimes doesn't work and drags the original image instead. I've noticed that I cannot drag the duplicate a certain distance from the original image.

Have to Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V in Illustrator, before I can Ctrl+V anywhere else.
I've had this problem for the past months (half a year-ish?). Figured it'd get patched out, but it hasn't.
SO in order to copy something from Illustrator to any other program, I have got to paste it in Illustrator again first. So let's say I'd make a circle in Illutrator and I'd want to copy that to Photoshop, I'd have to Ctrl+C the circle in Illustrator, then Ctrl+V it in Illustrator again and only then I can paste it in Photoshop. If I were to Ctrl+C it and directly paste it in Photoshop without pasting it in Illustrator first, it'd just ignore my past actions and paste whatever I had on my clipboard before I copied the circle. If I would then go to Illustrator and Ctrl+V there, it still pastes the Illustrator shape. So it has two items on the clipboard?
Now in the example I am explaining above that might not sound like a huge issue (and to be honest, it isn't a gigantic issue). It just gets really annoying when I try to copy big files. I have to convert package templates from Illutrator to Photoshop on a regular basis to make them look realistic. It's rather annoying to have to wait for the program to copy everything (which already takes a bit for bigger files, even on my workstation which was built for 3D). If I have to paste it again before I can work with it, it makes the copy paste process twice as long.
I can work around it, as I have been doing so far. I just figured I'd had to make it known, considering I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem (the problem isn't very easy to Google either, due to the common search terms used to describe the problem).

Blob tool freezes Adobe Illustartor
I'm trying to use the blob tool to outline a drawing in order to complete part of my final for my college class. My expectation when using it is that it simply outlines the drawing, but every time I use it, all of adobe illustrator freezes (the times it does happens varies, it's never at the exact same time. Sometimes I can do it for 5 minuets others it's for 30 seconds). Things are still happening, but I can't see it happen on screen. If an answer can be provided as to why this is happening it would be much appreciated. I have till this Friday November 30 2020 to turn it in.

Variable Data Not Working - Illustrator
Hi - Is anyone else having issues with the Variable data tool? This week it doesn't seem to be working for me after a recent update.
I'm trying to import a list of names to swap out for a batch of images.
I've created my image, dropped in the line of text that will change based on the data and put that on a new layer. I then clicked "Make Text Dynamic" in the Variable window and loaded my .CSV file of list of names.
The data set comes in, but it comes in blank. None of the names in the excel coverted CSV file come through.
I've attached my CSV file. Anyone else having issues or what am I doing wrong that is causing this not to work?
