2018 Illustrator CC is crazy slow / extreme lag on fast touchbar mac
AI is extraordinarily slow to do anytlhing, even select tools, or draw or duplicate objects. I have a very fast computer:
2016 MBP 2.9ghz intel core i7
16gb ram
radeon pro 460
running OS 10.13.6
I have 60gbb free of space on my SSD.I haven't worked in AI for several years, but I'm deeply familiar with PS, and I'm following a tutorial on how to draw a geometric shape. So thats what I'm doing in the project. Very simple stuff.

General Performance Issues and Font Issues
The Issue that I'm having see screenshots happens randomly in adobe applications like Illustrator.
I followed the instruction the adobe support gave me with the link, but there where no issue so I send you the last step, more details. Re-install fonts or Creative Cloud etc. don't solve the problem. I have this problems here and there since more than a year now.

The latest Issue I have sometimes is, If I save the Illustrator file and saving is done, Illustrator jumps back 3-4 steps (undo). So after I save…

Color blend control panel
Trying to change a fill in a preexisting color blend. Control panel only allows shifting the current blend, not adding or changing color. Any time the color pallet is selected, the blend control box disappears. Adobe is adding more features is cool, but taking away the basic features we've had for years is uncool.

Illustrator won't open any files
Since the new update I am completely unable to open any AI or PDF file in Illustrator. Nothing will open, just the rainbow ball of death forever until I have to Force Quit. I've uninstalled Illustrator and even installed earlier versions with no luck. I've 'repaired' Creative Cloud with also no luck.
I'm working on MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Illustrator v23
A couple times I've gotten an error message that says: "cannot open ___ file because this file does not exist."
Please help!

Illustrator v23.01 will not open subsequent vector files via Indesign, Bridge or directly from a folder.
When I try to "Edit with" in InDesign or open a vector file via Bridge or directly from the folder, it opens the file for the first time on launching the software, however if I try to open files again while Illustrator is up and running, it will not open. I then have to quit Illustrator to open the file. This is counter productive as I have to do this even when i have to make a small edit or move/delete an object. Especially when I'm working on multiple graphs, etc.
My fix for now is to revert back to…

Recent change to transform function is anti-intuitive.
I have used Illustrator since version 1.11 and the shift key has always been used to constrain angles and proportion in drawing and transforming. suddenly without notice in the latest upgrade the shift key has to be used to FREE transform and the default in the transform function is to maintain proportion or constrain movement to 45 or 90 degrees. This is against the habits of 30 years use. I have also noticed that in the Option>scale function the highlight which used to default to the angle value no longer does so requiring addition keystroking. Not helpful.
1 voteUhm, the Shift does not behave like this now, and even in Photoshop they decided to give a legal option to change it back.
As for the Scale and Rotate dialogs not focusing the filed with the value — also fixed.
Please comment back if you still have these problems.

Phantom Artboard keeps appearing
After I have created multiple artboards, and click to rearrange them, I keep getting this phantom artboard that shows up. It doesn't seem to be an actual artboard - I cannot select it with the artboard selection tool, and it doesn't show up on the artboard list, but it's there, being annoying visually, and since I can't select it, I can't figure out how to make it go away. I've tried to close and reopen the file, as well as the program. The only thing that has made it go away is to recreate the artboards in a new file…

🐛 Illustrator CC2018 doesn't show certain font styles while Adobe Xd does.... [BLOCKER!!!!]
The font style is visible in all tools but not in Illustrator and Photoshop. What is more than annoying... A hotfix would be nice because it's definitively a colossal blocker!

Merging paths changes shape appearance
So basically I have this shape that I am trying to subtract the white type out of so it is one shape (like a stamp) where the white type is open, not white fill.
When I go to delete the white type from the path, or minus front, or divide, or using the shaper tool (it doesnt matter-same thing happens across the board)- the appearance of the type changes, becoming thinner- but the vector doesn't actually change... it's a visual thing, but its noticeably different.
Not sure if that makes sense or if this has happened to anyone else....

edge lossy and distorted after exporting AI file as PSD
When I export file as a PSD, no matter, what size I export as, 150psi or 400psi, or CMYK or RGB….
There is allways loss on the edges, and if my design is stripes for instance, each stripe as loss, and also appears slightly distorted with colour variation down one edge. See screenshot1 vote -

All new & existing .PDF registering file type as only .AI
System: MacOS High Sierra
All documents regardless if they're saved as and appearing as .PDF have now all changed so under 'file type' it classes them as Adobe Illustrator Documents meaning you can only view these in AI rather than a basic PDF view.
This also affects the ability to view PDF after creation as it doesn't pop up like previously.
This wasn't the case previously it has just changed for me today.
Help?
