Tile printing cuts image off.
I have attempted to tile print an image from Illustrator at least 6 times. No matter what settings, it cuts off about 1/8-1/4" of the image. I have been tile printing for decades and now the feature doesn't work correctly. Please inquire. I'm extremely frustrated.

Inconsistent undo behavior when making a compound shape with a clipping mask
I understand this may not be as common a use-case, but while trying to figure something out, I was puzzled when undo did not return to the state I was expecting. Below are the steps to reproduce this issue:
Create a shape, such as a rectangle. Give it a color.
Create a different shape and place it somewhere overlapping the first shape. Give it a different color.
Select both shapes and create a Clipping Mask by right-clicking and selecting "Make Clipping Mask"
You should now see only the overlapping parts of both shapes, as expected.
Open the Pathfinder panel and click on the menu icon and choose "Make Compound Shape".
The outlines of both shapes should be visible.
Undo, and the overlapped clipped shape step is skipped and instead, only the first shape is colored and the selection is a group, which was never made.
Undo again and the second shape is colored.I'm not sure what the expected result should be. Maybe as if they were never clipped at all? To be honest, I was looking for something like the Merge function, without creating empty fill shapes. This doesn't do anything like that though.
It looks like instead of making a Clipping Mask on redo, it's just grouping? I've provided a video.My system is Windows 10, 20H2, 19042.1165.

SLOW PERFORMANCE - MACBOOK M1
I have a brand new MacBook M1 running Big Sur. 11.2.3
The performance with vector objects is terrible!
Even with turning off layers, moving basic objects (2x text boxes, 2x lines and a 2x rectangles) its almost crashing Illustrator.I try to arrow and there's a 6 second delay.
I try to undo, there's a 10 second delay.This is terrible. Seriously what have you guys done to the Adobe suite?
I've just replace a 2017 MacBook Pro with this system, because you claimed my old laptop isn't up to ""modern programs" - clearly this is a adobe problem.Illustrator: 25.2.3

Action batch saving with data sets does not put out multiple files
I updated to version 25.4 and had a file with multiple data sets. I have an action that saves as a PDF and I wanted to "batch" this action as I have done multiple times in the past to create multiple PDFs.
However, now only one file gets saved and it gets overwritten constantly when the action repeats. The saved file name is whatever the file was saved as when recording the action, so it is not even the data set name.I have now reverted to the oldest version I could find which was 24.3 and it is working in this version.
Someone else has experienced this issue as well. Their solution was to update but I am using the newest version available to me and I am still experiencing it. https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/data-set-not-saving-out-multiple-pdf-files/m-p/12212808

Duplicated symbols reverts to originals / or not!!
Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4
Let's say I have 3 symbols, A, B and C.
A is the original symbol in my external Symbol Library file (blue in the attached video)
B is that symbol, imported into my current file and modified (I changed it to green in the video)
C is a duplicate of B, in my current file, also modified (red in the video)When I copy C, I expect C to be pasted. But it's actually B.
(in the video, red is copied but green is pasted)Moreover, when I try to "reimport" the original A (blue) by clicking on it in my Symbol Library panel, it thinks it's already in the file, when in fact it's B. Or when I drag and drop it, it imports B onto the Artboard.
Which means that when I modify symbols (which I do all the time), I can't access the original anymore.
Is it a conflict because they have the same name? And no I don't want to rename my Bs and Cs everytime I modify a Symbol.
It used to work just fine as you expect it to in Illustrator 22. It's pretty annoying. ;-)Sorry for the bad quality, Adobe wouldn't let me upload a larger file.

Optical kerning changes when opening AI file in Illustrator 2021
Opened an AI file created April 2021 (using Optical kerning) to make changes. Kerning looks ok when I first open the file, but when I click on the text, the kerning changes significantly.
The font used is Georgia. Mac OS 10.15.7. Illustrator 2021 25.3.1. I had to open the file in Illustrator 2020 and copy the kerning values between the letters. I then opened the file in Illustrator 2021, changed from Optical to Metric and entered the kerning values from the Illustrator 2020 file.4 votes -

Artwork disappears when zoomed in
Whenever I am zooming in (2400% +), my artwork disappears and the who canvas turns gray. If I mouse over my artwork, i'll see a very pixelated outline of my artwork. I've attached a screenshot of my issue. I've tried restarting my MBP, uninstalling and reinstalling AI. I've tried closing out AI and reopening– but nothing I am doing is fixing this issue. Please help, I need to continue working on client projects.

・環境設定の GPU パフォーマンスが無効
・複数ドキュメントを開いている
・開いている2番目以降のドキュメントで 1200% 以上にズームする上記のすべての条件が揃うと再現されますが、ズームアウトすると表示が戻ります。
また、GPU パフォーマンスを有効にするほか、単一ドキュメントを開いてでの作業で現象を回避できます。

Illustrator utterly slow after 25.3.1 update
Running on late 2013 mac Pro with 64GB RAM
As per title, even menus take a while before opening. Tried to uninstall and reinstall, no effect. If I go back one version it works as before, at usual speed.

Wake from sleep issues
Illustrator, since the update, when waking from sleep, or even just display sleep - has started to resize the main app window to about 2/3 height of the screen and then when transforming objects (any movement or rotation etc) the pasteboard flickers. The pasteboard also changes shade when shifting bewteen tools - again only after waking from sleep.
It is a brand new Mac Mini, and only affects Illustrator WITHIN the window - i.e. only the pasteboard - no menus or tools etc flicker.
Edit: I have just noticed I get same behaviour with the window resize and some flickering of the actual image in photoshop too.
Edit:
• In Illustrator, the preview and pasteboard change shade when hitting space for hand tool - interestingly ONLY when the mouse cursor is within the pasteboard area. If it is over control or palettes etc then no change in preview.• Closing document and reopening seems to sort the issue (no need to relaunch Illustrator)
Something to do with how CC is communicating with M1 GPU?
