Artboard edge shows behind an object of the same size as the artboard
- CC 22.0.1 (32-bit)
- I'm creating a favicon, I started out at 164 px by 164 px and used Shift + Alt to resize it to 50 px by 50 px. Then I changed the size of the Artboard to 50 px by 50 px.
- I expected everything to line up and look right.
- A small white edge of the Artboard is visible on the right side of the drawing

Illustrator CC 18 freezing on macOS High Sierra
Ever since upgrading to 2018 Illustrator, it frequently freezes my entire screen after performing simple actions such as moving or rotating objects. Have had to hard-reboot my MacBook Pro 2016 (Touch Bar version) several times which is obviously not good for the system. This is not an issue with any of the other Adobe CC apps I have installed, Photoshop/InDesign/Premiere Pro etc. all work perfectly fine. Please resolve this ASAP - I rely on Illustrator for my work.

PDF does not preserve Illustrator editing capabilities!!
I upgraded two days ago to the new version of Illustrator. I've been saving PDFs with 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' for years. Now when I do it, it's flattening the PDFs and not allowing editing as normal. It has totally ruined two of my complex files and I've lost hours of work.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
So frustrating!

Saving PDF Security override by gmail
Dear sir or madam,
I've noticed as i saved PDF in CS6 to send to a Client and i used password protection with no permissions (printing, copying....)
And the thing is, if you open the email att. in this case My protected PDF in gmail preview - you can print it with no problems. And if you print to a PDF file, you get the same PD minus the Password protection.
I think this could be a big issue.
So i see google's gmail now as an easy fool proof password hack tool.
hope i helped somehow with this.

Brush edge dissapears. Can't see the shape of my brush. Randomly.
Cannot see the outline of my brush. Randomly it dissapears. It would be great if I was into random looks to what I do. But I'm not.
In fact, I'll hazard a guess that not many people paying close to £50/month are very into randomly varying results.

The latest updates
I've missed advert deadlines, because even though I'm on the newest Macbook pro, Photoshop and Illustrator have been dysfuntional, with artboards glitching, font sizes not being adjustable and glitching to the maximum size before telling me the font's too big.
On top of this, the work often dissapears when zooming in and fonts do not sync with your type app.
So I pay money for a subscription because you are industry standard, yet I've now missed deadlines, been hung up on three times by your support staff and failed to receive confirmation that you are at least attempting to solve…

Since updating Illustrator to CC 2018 it runs worse than before
Illustrator lags, it crashes. Creative Cloud sucks. Looking to switch over to CorelDraw. That's all I have to say. I'm annoyed and frustrated with Adobe since switching to CC.

Can’t set Pixel Preview mode for the second window for a document
- Illustrator CC 2018 (22.0.1)
- Create a circle in the artboard (any size), then open a new window. choose one of these two windows to set view model with Pixel Preview. Nothing happens and nothing changes in this window. If I zoom in or out, I still can see the scale value on the file title bar.

Dynamic symbols automatically expands
When placing a dynamic symbol on an artboard, then re-opening the document it becomes "expanded" — the link to symbol gets broken. This only occurs with dynamic symbols.

Optimize Illustrator
I've already optimized Illustrator for my graphics card. I keep getting the notification for it, even though I've done it.
I could turn off the notification, but I'd rather get important Adobe update news.
Can the message be automatically deactivated if we've already optimized?
1 voteIdeally, you should get this message only once and not always. Which version of Illustrator are you using?

Macbook completely crashes with Illustrator 2018
Hi, I'm using Illustrator 2018 and quite frequently my MacBook Pro 2017 crashes completely when I'm moving objects around or copying objects. It happened with the 2017 version as well. I can only hard reset my computer, which NEVER happens with other apps.

Many Many issues with Illustrator 2018
Ever since I've updated to Illustrator 2018, the program is always lagging and becomes non-responsive. Something simple like selecting "T" for a new text line will stall my program. I've attached my computer specs.
The alt shortcut for brush tool no longer selects color with the eye drop tool. I have to manually select the eyedropper, then switch back to the brush tool which is very frustrating when I need to do this hundreds of times a day!
The startup time has increased dramatically. Showing a blank screen for a couple minutes until the illustrator home screen finally appears. Also…
