I can't delete or merge swatches.
I have 4 separate issues, all stemming from the swatches panel:
1. I can't select a range of swatches and delete them. I have to select them individually and then delete them. Huge waste of time.
2. Sometimes when I delete a swatch, the thumbnail remains in the panel but changes to the red slash for "no color." I now have multiples of these in my swatches panel (see attachment).
3. Merge swatches simply doesn't work, even if they are both global swatches that I've generated.
4. Using the command "select all unused," and then trying to delete the batch,…1 vote -
Illustrator sometimes reports the font is not installed but then finds it on its own
Boa tarde, há uns dias abri um documento que dizia que o tipo de letra estava ausente e hoje ao abrir dizia que já tinha o tipo de letra utilizado naquele texto. Sendo que não instalei a fonte nem passei nenhuma ficheiro da mesma de um pc para o outro, podem dizer-me se isto é normal ou se há algum bug no vosso programa?

Wrong appearance of Drop Shadow effect with text object (non-English characters).
Wrong appearance of Drop Shadow effect with text object. It looks like effect use incorrect regional standards settings separate from the text itself causing the shadow looks like complete other characters .
Also, if you turn off BLUR in DROP SHADOW, the shadow becomes normal. And this does not happen with all fonts.

Pen’s rubber band lies when I try to continue a path with with an unnecessary handle
Please take a look at this file and the GIF attached.
Try these steps:
1. Grab Direct Selection and select the inner arc segment only
2. Cut it
3. Delete the rest
4. Paste the segment back (I used Paste in Front)
5. Now select the point at the top. When zoomed in, you can clearly see it has an unnecessary handle — the remnant of the deleted path, not contributing into the curvature of the path in question (BTW, if you save it right now, Ai would strip away both 'appndix' handles from both ends of the path —…1 vote -

Adobe illustrator hangs up/not responding whenever the application is closed
Whenever my adobe illustrator application is closed the hangs up for 5-10 seconds and enters "not responding" in windows before closing. This happens whether or not a file is open and has been replicated across user profiles in windows. Previous tickets with support for this issue are : ADB-39790766-X5M6, ADB-40236629-R6J6, and ADB-40751699-T0T2. I have uploaded logs from the adobe log collection tool under the following name: AdobeLogs20250711062022_057-win-GS.zxp and have a local copy as well if it is needed (unable to attach here).

Einfrieren nach einigen Minuten
Illustrator 29.6.1, Windows 11:
Illustrator friert jedes Mal einige Minuten nach dem Starten für ca. 5 Minuten ein. Der Fehler tritt unabhängig davon auf, was man gerade tut, der Fehler tritt auch auf, wenn kein Dokument geöffnet ist und nur das Startfenster angezeigt wird. Nach den 5 Minuten läuft er dann ganz normal weiter.1 vote
