Unable to select text once it's been horizontally scaled (condensed)
Illustrator CC 23.0.2 (Mojave Mac Pro)
If I horizontally scale a text element on the artboard I'm then unable to select it with any of the arrow selection tools. Elements aren't locked or masked.

Rasterization with clipping mask removes half of the stroke
Create a dummy rectangle with a fill and a thick stroke. Select the rectangle. Go to Object/Rasterize. Tick "Create Clipping Mask". Click OK. Notice the outern half of the stroke is gone (clipped away). I would expect unchanged visual appearance....

Getting odd artifacting when using GPU preview on illustrator
Shapes look as if they arent inline with each other when using GPU preview, CPU preview fixes the issue but of course I shouldnt have to be running it on CPU preview. The jaggies seem to stem from where there are anchor points, but not every anchor point.
Using Intel i5 6500 CPU with an RX480 8gb GPU

Illustrator underperforming on Mojave
Since updating to Mojave, Illustrator is sluggish at best. Moving a page activates the spinning wheel every time before moving the page. Almost unusable for work.
I am using the latest version of CS suite, Illustrator and Mojave.

Twist effect does not act on a group as a whole...
When applying [Effects -> Distort and Transform -> Twist] to a group, the effect is applied on an individual object level and not on the group as a whole.

Colours Suddenly change and go lighter
Running latest Creative Cloud on El Capitan, 10.11.5.
When working on a file, all of my colors suddenly get lighter, almost like I'm working within a group. When I look at the swatch color values they have the same hex as a previous doc, but don't display the same.
As a quick test, I exported the corrupt version as a jpeg and rectified the colour in photoshop by altering the levels.
At the time of the switch I was working with the rotate and extrude tool.

Touch Workspace Inconsistent
I have a Dell XPS 15 9570; it's more laptop than tablet, but it does have some touchscreen functionality.
When I first launched Illustrator on this device, I had the option to use touch mode, which was awesome.
For some reason though, it is no longer accessible. I've checked the workspaces menu, window>wirkspaces, etc. Nothing. There's not external keyboard connected (the laptop has a built in keyboard), I've restarted illustrator, I've tried different document types, I've switched my OS between tablet mode and laptop mode... nothing.
I'd really like to be able to use this mode again. Any advice?

artboard
I am having issues with the alignment of the image on the artboard. It seems the rectangle I used to cover the artboard isn't lining up. I am not sure if this is a problem or I simply don't know how to fix it
2 votesThe artwork has a small black dot on the right side, far away from the artboard. Watch closely at the right side of your 11×17.jpg image to notice it.
And export options were probably without ‘Use artboards’ tick.P.S. Please always provide the file you have problems with!

Unable to save Illustrator file as SVG using artboards
We use Illustrator to draw lots of icons.
If we place each icon on an artboard and try to save each artboard to a file by selecting Save as > SVG > Use artboards > All, we expect multiple icons to be saved to multiple SVG files.We actually get multiple SVG files, but each SVG contains all layer names from the original file and one SVG icon.
It would be very helpful, if manual cleanup after saving / exporting wasn't necessary.
2 votesNils, please try export svg through File > Export > Export As > SVG and let us know the result

Illustrator cc2019(v23.0) テキストをアウトライン化すると元の位置からズレる
テキストを効果→パスの変形→変形で回転したものを、アウトライン化すると元の位置からズレます。フォントのサイズが大きいほどズレが大きいようです。
印刷会社へ入稿する際や、納品する場合も必ずアウトライン化したファイルを作成するので、このズレは致命的です。
早急に改善していただきたいです。2 votes -

Cannot Scale Images or Text
As I'm illustrating on Illustrator, I cannot scale images or text suddenly. I would uninstall and re-install the program to get rid of the bug, but it keep returning randomly. I do not hit or click on any key or button to make this happen. Every time is comes back on its own unprovoked.
It happens on both my work and home macbook.
A text box, for example would be too small for the copy inside it, but I cannot expand the box because the box seems to be frozen in its exact shape.
I can drag the box anywhere…2 votes -
Keyboard shortcut for Offset path changes automatically
I use offset path a lot in my work, so I have set a keyboard shortcut for it. cmd+shft+Å. This has worked always, until now.
Now I cant even see the Obejct - Path - Offset path in keyboard shortcut setting panel. Still I see that this function has a shortcut, but not the one I have set. See pictures.
Now I noticed, that system changes the keyboard setting that i've made to Effect - Path - Offset path.
Is thee a way around, or is this something that I'll need to wait to be fixed?

making postscript file
i working with illustrator from cs4 and cs5.
in cs5 version of illustrator when i print my artwork to a postscript file with the generic post script driver, the default path for saving file was the path of saved current document or latest saved location, and that was very good and time saver for me.
but in CS6 and later versions, the default location for save file is "this pc" or my computer ...
and this is very time vested process.
with the best regards.
