1. Stop rasterizing the gradient on an object when expanding its appearance

   When you expand the appearance of an object with a gradient, the gradient is rasterized, which I believe, defeats the purpose of using it considering the results. The resulting image has a lot of erroneous White specs. If there is a stroke aligned to the center, it creates two layers with the same gradient, which means you have to unite them with pathfinder. A layer that's shaped the same as the rasterized object with the gradient is the color gray.

   The workaround is to apply a solid color, then expand, then reapply the gradient, but it took me some time to realize that would solve the problem. It would be better for Illustrator to be more direct and simply not rasterize the gradient when expanding appearance.

2. gpu animated zoom ramdomly disables after 25.0.1 update (25.2.1)

   Last tried with illustrator version 25.2.1

   Using animated zoom – gpu enabled – illustrator randomly switches to cpu while working on illustrator PDFs
   Does not occur while working in a .ai file, only PDF.

   Interim Solution: downgrade to 25.0 – animated zoom works fine using 25.0, but now randomly crashes from time to time …

4. Eyedropper creates buggy hidden/invisible/non-existent appearances on text objects

   This bug only seems to work on Windows.
   Illustrator version: 25.2.1

   As discussed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/buggy-hidden-invisible-non-existent-appearances/m-p/11964528/thread-id/271978#M272107

   Creating a default text object, selecting it, then clicking on it with the eyedropper tool creates an invisible/pseudo-existing appearance on the text. This is evident in that going to the top menu shows that Object > Expand... is greyed out while Object > Expand Appearance is not. You can also see in the Layers panel that the text object has its selection circle filled with grey, indicating that it has an appearance. Yet checking the Appearance panel shows that there is no appearance at all (except whatever is the default).

   This apparent bug may or may not be limited to text objects. Although creating a path object and clicking on a default text object with the eyedropper tool shows that the bug occurs since a pseudo-existing appearance will appear on the path object. So something seems to be going on with text objects specifically at least.

   This bug only seems to work on Windows.

5. Colors Being Displayed Differently than in Color Picker

   I just decided to update to AI 2021, bad idea... I was working on a file and I realized that the color had changed from the original dark blue to a purple color. I do not know what happened, but I know it must have to do with the update because it happened right after this.

7. Colors not displaying correctly in Illustrator 25.2.1

   Colors are displaying brighter and incorrectly in CMYK color mode. I've color calibrated my monitor; restarted my computer; uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator and still all files pulled into Illustrator are displaying this way.

   Mac Big Sur 11.2.3 Illustrator 25.2.1

   I have had trouble with a corrupted preference file in the past, but I also tried deleting the file and reinstalling with no change. I've uploaded a screen shot of how the colors are displaying.

8. Illustrator keeps shutting when I try to save my work and all of my work is lost.

   It should have an autosave option or a restore work option when it quits unexpectedly. But also there is a but when trying to save
   a document that shuts Illustrator and I've lost hours of work due to it so that needs to get fixed.

9. Illustrator CC 2020 Saving Unknown Error

   Illustrator won't let me save my files. I've tried to open another new file to save my files and the same error has occurred unless I have the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned off. I have never encountered this before and this is my first time encountering this problem.

10. Strange fake rough approximated outlines around the shapes.

    Hi guys. I'm found this weird bug which completely ruined the possibility to display the projects to client. Look at the color Screenshot - do you see these strange rough aproximation lines, darker then main background? When i'm switched to the Outline view - i see the clean outline.
    This bug is visible when i'm using the transparency for this object.
    I've also added an Ai File with this bug.

14. Allow templates to save a color profile

    Allow templates to save a color profile instead of opening EVERY TIME as untagged RGB or CMYK. Or at the very least, since Color Management Policy is set to Convert to Working Space... DO THAT!

15. Pencil tool in Illustrator 2021 less smooth (when editing existing line) than in Illustrator 2020, even with same settings

    When using the pencil tool to edit existing lines, instead of a smooth transition at the start and end of the edit, it's always a little jagged no matter how carefully I draw it. Toggling and using the smooth tool afterwards helps, but that adds an extra step every time I use this tool to edit lines. The 2020 version didn't have this problem, and I compared my pencil tool settings between the two versions and they were the same. Even tweaking the settings on the 2021 pencil tool doesn't resolve the issue.

    Pic attached showing a line after I edited it once with the pencil tool, being careful to make smooth movements while drawing, and the beginning and end of the edit (circled in red) have a little wiggle (it's tiny but very crucial in the scale I work in!). This wiggle would have been automatically smoothed out in previous Illustrator versions.

16. Bug: In-app "Learn" window is just a peach colored rectangle

    Computer:

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB

    OS:

    Mac Big Sur 11.2.3

    AI version:

    v.25.2.1

    Steps:

    I have never accessed the in-app "Learn" tutorial feature, but after updating to AI v.25.2.1 today, I decided to try it by clicking the lightbulb icon in the upper toolbar.

    Expected result:

    The Learn window would open up displaying various clickable tutorials.

    Actual result:

    The Learn window opened up, but instead of displaying clickable tutorials, the entire window is filled with a peach colored rectangle. Hovering over the peach colored rectangle in some spots changes the arrow cursor to the text input cursor, and in other spots, changes the arrow cursor to the pointing finger cursor, suggesting a clickable item.

17. Scrubby Zoom Suddenly Stops Working

    2019 MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7. Adobe Illustrator 25.2.

    Scrubby zoom suddenly stops working, even though GPU and Animated Zoom are still enabled within Preferences. This happens once or twice a week; the only way I have found to resolve is restarting the MacBook.

    It happens while working in relatively small/simple documents, all of a sudden, without making any changes to Preferences.

    Animated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.

18. Falla al guardar los documentos de ilustrator

    Al momento de guardar los documentos, por muy sencillo que sea, solo trazos básico, no importa lo que contenga, siempre se demora muchísimo al guardar, y al hacerlo, la pantalla se vuelve negra y solo se visualizan algunas ventanas de herramientas, y queda todo en negro hasta que regresa a la normalidad cuando finalmente guardó los cambios. Estoy trabajando con la última actualización (25.2.1), hoy la desinstale y la volví a instalar para ver si tenía alguna mejoría, pero sigue igual.
