Grey Work Area (unresponsive)
I'm on a 2020 Dell XPS 15
Tried Versions 27, 27.4, 28 and most recent of Illustrator.
Only started having this issue within the past month.
All other Adobe products are working perfectly fine.When attempting to open any existing document, the work area briefly flashes with the document before turning into a blank grey screen. I can't click on anything in the work area, but the tools can all be selected. The mouse icon doesn't change from the windows white mouse icon to the larger black Adobe mouse icon, so it seems like the work area isn't functioning at…

Can't Switch Between Documents / Windows
Having multiple documents open - sometimes I can switch between them with a quick Alt-Tab, but mostly I get the error sound (Windows).
Using Alt-Tab or using the mouse has the same results.
On occasion I can switch documents, but that's usually one out of ten attempts.
This only happens with Illustrator documents/windows - so if I tab over to another program there isn't an issue.

Dragging Pallets from monitors with different magnifications causes problems
I have two monitors on my desktop. Both are 4K but one is set to magnification 100% and the other set to 175% for easy reading. When I run Illustrator on the 100% monitor and the pallets slip over to the 175% monitor, the pallets enlarge to 175%. Dragging them back to the 100% monitor leaves them at 175% magnification (which is much bigger than everything else).
The magnified pallet still takes up the size of the regular un-magnified pallet, but the contents are too big to work and there are no scrollbars. So the Pallet boundaries are resized, but…

Tool window won't update content when clicking on a different tab
This bugs seems to come on after a while of everything working normally.
I have multiple windows (e.g. 3 - Character/Paragraph/Open type) grouped together on one panel. When I click on an unfocussed tab to bring that to the front, nothing changes. The content below remains the same.
For example if 'Character' was in focus, and I wanted to access 'Paragraph' options. If I click on the 'Paragraph' tab, I still see the 'Character' options.
See video.
This is also happening with the document tabs too. I click between my open documents and nothing changes on the artboard below.
I…

Erratic Page numbering in 'Show Print Tiling'
When printing a large artwork covering several A4s, the page numbering after selecting 'Show Print Tiling' is erratic. As you can see in the attached file, there's two times 25 and 27, but 21 and 26 are missing. This is an issue if you want to avoid printing blank pages. I have to manually count to get the correct page number.

Shift does not select multiple items any longer - Ai 28.0 / Mac OS 14.0/Mac Studio 2022
Adobe AI upgraded on my system today to Illustrator 28 - 2024. Shift no longer works to select multiple objects or points. I use illustrator about 4-8 hours a day so I am very aware of the intended capability of the shift key while working. I have rebooted to hope for a resolve .... I can't seem to regain the functionality. My previous version of Ai did not perform this way. Bummed to consider having to downgrade back to previous version of Ai. Hope this helps bring attention.

Fill/stroke color changes won't work despite restart/Illustrator being up to date (windows 11)
On my PC with Windows 11 that's up-to-date (as is Illustrator), I've lost the ability to change fill and stroke color even when a shape is selected, and even after rebooting my laptop. Note the orange-circled areas in the screen capture for reference.

Smart Guides not working most of the time
The Smart guides are not working correctly anymore. When trying to move or add an anchor point there are no smart guides to help align it. If I want use the object tool there are no guides while hovering unless a random object in my canvas is selected, then all of a suddeny smart guides work again. Once an object is created then it always has smart guides available when moving but not when trying to create it aka hovering with the object tool.

artwork moving when i select on my macbook pro 2023
When I click to select artwork/objects on my 2023 macbook pro the artwork jumps position, I'm not dragging the artwork and didn't have the issue on earlier macbook (2017) or my 2019 imac. Makes working in illustator really awkward and is frustrating!

Crashes when a path segment is moved
Whenever I am attempting to move an object and inadvertently grab a path segment instead of a point, there is a 50% chance Illustrator will crash. This has been a problem for over two years.
