Links panel shows wrong colour space
In a CMYK document the Links panel shows RGB images as CMYK. In the example image a PNG, which can never be CMYK, is incorrectly reported as being CMYK.
This is in a CMYK Illustrator file. In an RGB file the image is correctly reported as being RGB. Placed CMYK images are correctly reported as CMYK.

Selecting two objects adds millions of points to second path...
Adobe Illustrator 24.2.1 (and its predecessor) have a horrible feature which I assume is a bug. When selecting two separate paths (or even two separate text objects) using the Selection Tool or Direct Selection Tool, it seemingly adds millions of points to the second path. The points are not really added and don't actually exist, but they LOOK like they do, meaning it adds a thick blue line along it that looks ghastly and is completely off-putting. I can't use those versions at all and have had to stick to 24.1.3 which is the latest version to not do it. I'm running it on a 27-in 2019 iMac with the lastest version of Catalina OS. I have heaps of RAM and oddles of SSD space. As an aside, the text cursor is STILL too thin to see well, despite numerous bug reports and complaints! Baffled as to why you refuse to fix it or even address the complaints in a sensible fashion.

Shape builder not working consistently for the same shape after being moved
I have a perfect tangent (generated by code) that will work in the top part of the attached file. The bottom part will not work for the shape builder tool.
Reflecting the shape or moving it might fix one or both of the bits, and allow them to be "shape built". It might also break the possibility of "shape building".

Bug avec Catalina + cintiq 27HD + illustrator
I've been working for 3 years with Illustrator on a Cintiq 27HD and so far it worked perfectly.
I changed my old Imac (high Sierra) for a Macbook Pro on Catalina in june, and i work with the last version of Illustrator. I specify that my new Mac is clean and was installed by a professional, and that the MacbookPro is new. So there are no old files that could disturb the system.
I now encounter a bug on illustrator which is triggered after about fifteen minutes of handling illustrator (I work with the express key commands of the cintiq), the problem is the following : the computer behaves as if the "option" key was continuously pressed. As a consequence the keyboard changes language (cf pj), and the keyboard shortcuts don't respond correctly anymore.
To solve the problem, when I move an object on illustrator, it is automatically duplicated as many times as I move it.
I have to restart the cintiq driver, save my document, and after that everything will work again.
I have to do this operation every 15 minutes and then, i can't work correctly, all my creative process is disturbed.
I hope you can find the problem and solve it !In advance, thank you !

Objects don’t align properly to artboards with guides placed on canvas
While guides have been placed in artboard objects will no longer align to artboard rather they extend far beyond the current artboard.
At the moment the only solution I've found to work is clearing the guides.
Thanks!

Although the color is selected, when I quickly select the area I select on my page, the color is not applied to the selected area.
When I quickly select the area I select on my page from the swatches, although the color is selected, it does not apply the color to the selected area.
Sometimes he never chooses. But it is necessary to choose very slowly.
It slows down my working speed and drags it to error.

SVGz No longer displaying on live web pages
Hi, I have been using Svgz files for a while now but the last couple of updates for illustrator the svgz files do not work. I have never been able to view these files till they were on the server So I would make both SVG and svgz files use the SVG to visually code then add the z to the file name on the server this worked well.
The Files always generate this Error in a browser window but not once served via a correctly configured webserver
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.I have just upgraded to 24.2.1 But believe this issue started maybe with issue 23 or even 22
I have a lot of files created with previous versions of illustrator they all generate this code but display perfectly in their web pages.
All the new files just display as a missing file icon but the file generated from the same ai file but exported to SVG display perfectly So I assume the problem must be in the encoding.
Sorry, i cannot be more specific I can supply samples of the file which work and files which don't. If that will help.

Gradient tool Illustrator 24 high sierra
The Gradient tool does not work well in Illustrator 24.0.3 using high sierra 10.13.3.
When changing anything with the annotator (color stops, angle, etc) illustartor will hang for several seconds, and nothing can be selected, so I have to wait for it to resume. Often times the gradient panel will blink continuously during this time, it's weird. It's like it's having a spasm. Everything with the gradient works fine in 22.1, so I've been using the older program when i have to use a lot of gradients. This is annoying though, to constantly switch between programs. Why would you, yet again, "fix" something that was working just fine before?The Gradient tool does not work well in Illustrator 24.0.3 using high sierra 10.13.3.

Illustrator not saving 100% of the time
I'm finding Illustrator isn't saving every time I save documents, the last approx 3-4 weeks I've had to re-make approx 15 files that I had previously saved. Running Illustrator 24.2.1 + Windows 10 Pro (1903) but problem existed before this update. My co-worker is having the same issue. I've held off reporting it as I cant explain the mechanism for why it's only happening occasionally. would love a fix for this, was hoping the previous update would somehow fix it but hasn't unfortunately.

Control panel to set coordinates is missing
Before the last update I used to be able to draw a square or ellipse then type the location I wanted to place it, X or Y. Now that is gone. Now I have to open another box "TRANSFORM" in order to place the shape exactly where I wanted it. Very inconvenient. If I at least had the ability to dock that box at the top it would make life much easier. It has been at the top for as long as I can remember. I often use this like a CAD software when I draw. The last update made using Illustrator very inconvenient.

1 voteIllustrator team decided to swap the horizontal Control panel (the top bar you probably mean) with the vertical Properties panel in the default workspace.
We can choose to show it instead of Properties with Window > Control.

Illustrator not recognizing strokes from imported document using Blend Tool with specified steps
I've imported a document into build 24.3 that was previously created in the latest version of Illustrator, and strokes used in a blend of two lines using a width profile are not present. Instead, they are seen as fills, with no ability to edit the stroke.
Using mid-2012 Mac Book Pro and 10.14.6 Mojave OS

Illustrator 24.2 tab stops not working with blank text lines
Tab stops do not function correctly when the text line has no text. We commonly use this for creating underlines. Attached examples show a text field with tab stops. The text lines with characters use the tab stops correctly (spaces do not count). Any text lines without characters cause the tab stops to be one space wide.

In Illustrator 2020 the changes to Align tool window are a headache. Defaulting to align by key object .... Very frustrating defaults.

Illustrator's Artboard does not update live
I am on a 2017 MacBook Air running macOS Catalina (10.15.5). My Illustrator version is 24.2.1. I haven't seen anything else about this problem on here. After doing anything such as creating a pen stroke or trying to fit the artboard to the screen, the artboard will not update and will only do so once I have used the zoom tool in some fashion.
