Tabs captions are missing, Home screen is visible through the hole
Above the top ruler I should be able to see a tab, or multiple tabs when several files are open. However all that is shown is a cropped "Ai" ident. This means the only way I can flick between files is by through "Window" in the top panel.

Batch exporting ai>psd does not work in latest Illustrator update.
Batch exporting does not work in latest update. The images appear to process, and as each image is processed, there is a message that a photoshop file is being created. However, the end result files are the same ai files that I began with. Using Mac OS 10.14.

CC 2018 Multiply Blend Mode Incorrect
CC 2018 & Mac Sierra
If you apply multiply blend mode to a path, group that and apply multiply again at the group level, you now get 2x multiply. This is wrong whether you look at this from a process ink or spot color printing.
Omg the uploaded example, I am expecting both left and right sides to be identical to each other, as in versions prior to CC2018.
We often get files from designers who will try to make a color look good on screen, and printing off a color laser printer. You could for example draw 2 overlapping…

Illustrator looses workspace settings
Good day. My problem is that I worked for a very long time in Adobe Photoshop (cs3,4,5,6, cc). But Ai surprised me - to make a backup of the workspace I have to go to AppData / Roaming / Adobe / Illustrator etc. and make a copy of the folder, because when I open a new document, I get a completely different space. (Export/import settings do not help) Why can’t you transfer the settings to the program, and not to the open document? Every time I do as I feel comfortable and every time I reduce the Tool…

Hang/Freeze when trying to open an Illustrator file with a placed PDF/Image
- MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and Illustrator 23.x.x
- Opening an Illustrator file. (It doesn't matter if Illustrator is already open or not.)
- The expected result is that the file will open as normal.
- Actual result is Illustrator hangs/freezes for upwards of 15-20 minutes before it will open the file.
As i mentioned in the title, this only happens when I am trying to open an Illustrator file that has a placed PDF inside. Specifically they are Nutritional Facts panels or Supplement Facts panels that were built in InDesign and exported as PDFs. Then the PDFs are placed on product labels…

Scale, move and rotate dialog boxes don't hold most recent values when you press return to open dialog box
MACOS MOJAVE 10.14.6
ILLUSTRATOR 24.3When i open the scale dialog box it has always held the most recent scale value, so if i wanted to scale something up 5% i would Press "S" on the keyboard, then type 105, hit return. then if i wanted to go another 5% i would hit return (to open the dialog box) and it would remember 105 in the active field. then i would hit return again to apply.
When I hit return to open the dialog box now (in this example to increase by ANOTHER 105%) some random number comes up. it's…

Change corner radius to 1mm.

Window resize handle broken
Whenever I try to resize a document window now by clicking the lower right corner, it snaps to a larger size that fills the width of my screen and goes off the bottom beyond what my cursor can reach. I have to click the resize button at the top to undo. The only way I can now resize any window correctly is by dragging out from the sides and bottom individually. This is very time consumiing. Just fix it to how it used to work in every other previous version. It shouldn't take extra time with every new 'feature' you…

Adobe Illustrator 2020 (24.1.2)-The latest updated version KEEPS CRASHING on MacOS Mojave
Hi
I'm having crashing issues with the simplest movements like dragging, changing the type sizes, accidentally double-clicking etc.
First the screen freezes.
Later everything goes blank/my screen sometimes goes full black and forced shutdown follows.
I'm using Macbook Air - MacOs Mojave version 10.14.6. (1.6 GHz Intel Core i5/ 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3).
This is happening every time I open up AI without exception.
Note: When I started my computer in safe mode-AI is working normally.
What should we do?
Thanks in advance.6 votesPlease follow the steps listed in this link to share the crash log to Illustrator team, this will help us investigate and fix this issue. https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/kb/crash-next-steps.html

Home screen user interface not fully loading - looks like script - can't open templates either
when I open Ai, the home screen UI doesn't seem to be loading correctly or all the way. see image below. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, updated my graphics card (Radeon AMD Vega 64) and made sure windows 10 was up to date. I'm able to open a blank file by clicking on the templates, but if I try to create my own new project, I just get a blank pop-up box.

Screen goes white as soon as I draw something
As soon as I open an Illustrator document and draw or touch an object, the screen goes white. I switch between gpu and cpu rendering, nothing changes.
M1 MBP, newest os and illustrator version, not the beta or pre version, rosetta 2 mode.
2 votesThe team is aware of a similar looking issue, where this is due to Anchor Point Size preference set to Max value. Please check if changing it from Max to any other value resolves this and comment back.
The investigation continues to get the root cause of this preference corruption.

User Interface slide scale not on my Illustrator 2019
Having issues with 2019 version while using hotdoor CADtools. Viewed great with 2018, but in 2019, it's too tiny to read. Solution I am given is to go to Preferences>User Interface and up the scale. And I'm shown the screenshot (attached) for the adjustment scale. However, my AI has the screen (attached) w/o any scale. Why is this? Running Windows 10 Pro / 64-bit. Screens are in set in Portrait mode w 1080 x 1920 res. Again, the CADtools worked great in 2018 Illustrator but not in 2019.

Opening screen
Illustrator 24.1
macOS, Catalina, 10.15.3When opening Illustrator I'm presented with the home/opening screen which shows (in my case) latest files used. But regardless of how big I make that screen it never shows coreectly all the thumbs (some of them are cut-off) and there are no scrollbars to either scroll down or to theright to see everything. Would be nice if that is designed in a responsive way.
