Outline mode does not work
I have Illustrator CC, I have tried the work around of Ctrl+E then Ctrl+Y.
Outline mode displays the lines but freeze and won’t allow the color to leave the image or the lines to be manipulated. I’m so fed up how could I possibly use this program professionally, i have looked up the work around and tried Ctrl+E followed by Ctrl+Y and have tried to access through view mode, still no joy. I have shut down and reopened files 8 times and started again three times on new art board. This problem has gone on for two days. I had the same problem last year an I found by leaving the screen for 10 minutes it occasionally appears to switch on. Please fix this it is totally unusable at presentI have Illustrator CC, I have tried the work around of Ctrl+E then Ctrl+Y.

Exporting Issue
Whenever I go to export a file, the exported image shows a non existent image/layer that is not in or showing on the document when open.
The first image below shows what I export from illustrator, the second is what I screenshot inside the file, aka what I'm trying to have as the exported image.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, it would be greatly appreciated if you can help out a guy with no ideas on how to fix it.
Thank you

Radial gradient generates broken CSS
Illustrator CC 22.1. To reproduce, create a rectangle with fill set to any radial gradient. Name the rectangle, open CSS Properties window. Observe the generated CSS:
.GradientBox
{
background : -moz-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
background : -webkit-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
background : -webkit-gradient(radial,50% 50% ,0 , 50% 50%, 272.12 ,color-stop(0,rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) ),color-stop(1,rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) ));
background : -o-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
background : -ms-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Stlye=2);"
background : radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
border-style : Solid;
border-color : #000000;
border-color : rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
border-width : 1px;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Stlye=2);
}There are 3 problems here:
- On line 8 of the CSS (the legacy IE -ms-filter rule), the semicolon is inside the double quotes instead of outside, making it invalid.
- In the legacy IE "-ms-filter" and "filter" rules, lines 8 and 14, Style is misspelled as "Stlye".
- How would an alpha filter be equivalent to a radial gradient in legacy IE versions in the first place?
Thanks!

Font Suggestion/Preview Font NOT Working on MAC's
I select a text box on my art board and go to the character palette to change the font. I was able to use the arrow keys up and down and see the font change on the art board. This feature no longer works with CC2018 Mac.
Or I was able to start typing a font name into the Character Palette and suggestions would pop up. This feature no longer works with CC2018 Mac.
I find this very irritating and a difficult way to work. This only happens on my MAC, my PC still works.
Can anyone help me with this?

Linked assets in CC Libraries render "file not readable"
Having assets linked in CC Libraries renders the master AI file unreadable on another machine, despite being signed in on the same account. If I open the file on the original computer and collect it to a local folder, the file opens. This defeats the purpose of the Library.

Wrapping text causes font changes and misalignment of text lines
When I wrap text around a picture, the font completely changes and the text lines become offset from the actual text, making it impossible to edit text.

Outlined strokes blend differently than live strokes
When blending 2 strokes it draws the shape correctly, however, if I outline those strokes, there is an error.
Same thing occurs when outlining the strokes first or when just drawing the objects before blending.
This problem however goes away is I move the top right point of the top object down just a bit. As soon as I move it back up, at a certain point, AI draws weird shapes that is not actual "steps" in the blend.
I have tried resetting all anchor points and redrawing the objects also.
My guess is that there is an error in the blend "formula" somewhere. @adobe: Please see the attached file. Something is wrong!
Cheers.

Unable to Crop to Artboard when Exporting SVG's through "Export for Screens"
When exporting my artboards using Export for Screens, I'm unable to crop the artwork to the bounds of the artboard. The thumbnails that show up in the export flow look great, but the output files contain all art elements that are touching the artboard. See screenshots. Output svg attached.
