Freezing when saving as SVG
Recently (last 2-3 days) I am almost unable to save AI files as SVG. Illustrator either crashes completely, or freezes for several minutes. This has never been an issue for me. I'm on a Dell with Intel i7-7700 and Windows 10. I have no issues using Photoshop, FrameMaker, or InDesign.
The SVG issue is most pressing, I'm trying to save 500+ AI files as SVG and it's eating up quite a lot of time waiting for it to unfreeze.
I'm using Illustrator CC 23.1.1 voteThe issue is resolved by user themselves, by changing the font subletting options. If you have a similar issue, but the solution doesn’t work for you, please log it anew.

Illustrator will not let me align my art manually
I am working a normal piece(s) of art. I did one exactly like this yesterday on the same artboards, different client. I am unable to manually align the art to the artboard or the bleed guides as shown first image. I decided to shutdown Illustrator and the PC and then start them again. When opened I tried to move the art again and it still will not let me align the art. I disposed of the art on the artboard. Opened the clients art, copied it and pasted it in my layers to the artboard. Again I tried to manually…
1 voteThe problem was in the the Align to Pixel option being enabled. If you want to have it disabled by default for RGB documents, please upvote the existing request here.

Kerning one pair effects the spacing of other random pairs.
I'm having an issue when I go to kern a letter pair, the kerning effects the spacing between other pairs.
I believe this similar bug was reported for CS5 but I am using CC 2018 22.0.1
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4321697#4321697
I have tried:
- Clearing all Illustrator settings at startup.
- Making sure text is not centered or justified
- Using default font Myriad Pro with default settings.
- Selecting all letters and zeroing out the kerning.
- Turning off standard ligatures in Open Type
Still this issue persists.
Attached is an animated gif of the issue.
1 voteIt's not a bug, it's about hinting.
When you change kerning it forces other letters to nudge a bit. And because AI (as any other tool) already nudges all letters on screen before drawing them to make outlines look clear on screen grid, this results visual nudge of those letters who happen to fall on other side of their previous position.
Try to apply Outline Effect to this text and then kern. This will negate hinting.

Weird Square I Can't Get Rid Of
I have this weird square on one of my files (top right panel). It's not connected to any of my layers, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
0 votesAs per the top comment, this is a second artboard, that was probably created by mistake, using Artboard Tool. To resolve it, you can use this tool to select and delete it, or do it directly from the Artboards panel.
