Fonts are not refreshed when right sided metrics are changed
This issue happens in the context of editing the metrics of a font file multiple times (in order to view new metrics changes in realtime).
Fonts will not always be refreshed to the latest version when overwriting a font file in the Adobe Fonts folder with a new updated version:
When a right sidebearing of a glyph is changed and the font regenerated, the font is NOT updated in Illustrator.
Whereas editing a left side bearing and regenerating the font will show the updated font with all edited metrics (both the new left & right sidebearings).
Issue happens in all…

CRASH AND NO RECOVERY
ever since the most recent updates, my illustrator has been crashing regularly. And worse file recovery has not recovered a single file. this is very wack. I have lost money re-doing things I already made and lost because of random crashes. Very Very disappointing and not encouraging me to continue using illustrator.

Why can't you make snap work again?
I work with die cuts and i need precision. Don't remember from which version but illutrator sucks at snapping now. I mean all shapes i make get 20.001 or 19.999 and try using compound, it doesn't work! You can't draw with precision anymore.

Eyedropper tool not showing correct colors sampled outside of Illustrator
When I click and drag the eyedropper tool outside of Illustrator to sample a color from something else (a website, pdf document, etc.), the color isn't correctly picked up.
For example, if I move the eyedropper over something orange, it shows in Illustrator as blue or black; even if I sample a large white space, it shows in Illustrator as a different color. It seems to only be showing sampled colors as white, neutral, black/gray, and shades of blue.
The program is up-to-date.
I tried it in two browsers, Chrome and Safari, and the results were the same in both. …7 votesWe have seen this issue specific to macOS 10.15. Enabling “Screen Recording” access right to Illustrator resolved this issue.
You can change this setting by going to Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording and add Illustrator Application.
Please try this and reply in comment if the above suggestion worked for you.

AI 24 freezes on startup (Mac OS Catalina)
Illustrator 24 (2020) will not launch on my MacBook Pro Retina.
- I'm running Catalina 10.15.1 and Illustrator 2020.
- The applications is installed and launched
- I expect the app to open
- It freezes upon startup
I had the same issue with InDesign 2020 freezing up (causing me to have to Force Quit the stalled app), but Photoshop 2020 did not have any issues.
I was able to get InDesign 2020 to launch by restarting in Safe Mode, then disabling the "Show Home screen when no documents are open" Preference, then restarting normally.
The bug seem related to not being able to…

Ctrl+Tab does not work when Caps Lock is on
When Caps Lock is on, the Ctrl+Tab shortcut for switching document windows does not work.
When Caps Lock is off, the Ctrl+Tab shortcut works normally.
I believe that this is not intentional behavior.
All the computers in my studio are experiencing this problem, resetting preferences does not help.Windows 10 64bit (this problem was also present on Windows 8.1 64bit and older versions of Illustrator)

Pathfinder bugs and artifacts
Pathfinder distorts curves and these distortions create stray points and small vector artifacts when I "slice".
This has been an issue from IL5 (pre-CS and pre-CC), when Pathfinder was first introduced.
Until Adobe increased maximum magnification, it was hard to tell what was happening, but in CC I can clearly see that in Pathfinder, smooth curves distort. My guess is something analogous to mathematical rounding errors in defining the berzier curve.
Sometimes, the distortion is very "squiggly", appears to be introducing the 'QuickDraw error (reported separately), and produces unusable results.
While most of these errors and artifacts are essentially microscopic,…

BUG - Offset path preview remains in artwork even after cancel or tick off preview
Hi. Since Illustrator 23 I have a very strange bug in the preview of offset path. When I select a shape and select offset path I get the dialog. In the dialog I can set the variables. if I then click ok all is well. But if I check preview I can see what the values I entered will do. So far so good. But then something strange happens. If I change a value I see the result in a preview, but I also see the first preview. The result is even added to the last preview path. And i…

App unresponsive due to tour window
MacOS Mojave, Late 2013 iMac
This is probably a rare event, but it should never happen and if this "feature" behaved consistently with MacOS, it wouldn't ever happen:
The other day I launched Illustrator, and immediately pushed the window down and out of the way so I could access multiple files on the desktop. I didn't realize this was the first time I'd launched Illustrator since an update, so a tour window had popped up, but since I had shoved the entire workspace window down right away, I couldn't see the tour window.
What happened was that I attempted to…

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 in…
