1. Toggling outline view should not modify file

   When toggling Preview/Outline mode, the current file behaves as though a modification was made, even though nothing appears in the Undo history.

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Open an existing AI file
   2. Go to "View" menu
   3. Select "Outline" (or "Preview", if the file was saved whilst in Outline view)
   4. Go to "Undo" menu
   5. Notice there's nothing to undo

   This is only a nitpick, but it's been gnawing at me for a while.

3. Grouped Objects Resizing Errors & Inconsistency

   macOS Mojave 10.14.5
   Illustrator 23.0.6 - ( issue has existed through many versions / upgrades )
   —

   I thought that I had successfully reported this particular issue in the recent past, but cannot find it in a search, so am re-reporting. My apologizes if I'm doubling up.

   The Process :

   Let's say I have multiple objects of various width and height sizes — e.g. to keep things simple, let's say one object is 4in w x 4in h, and another is 6in w x 4in h.

   I then position/possibly-resize the multiple objects precisely and group them together so that their resulting total group's width and height is either non-fractional, positive integers — e.g. 12in w x 4in h — or systematic, fractional numbers — e.g. 12.25in w x 4.25in h … at times using a separate, deleted-after-use "shim" vector shape at the exact size I want the total group to be, to align (not snap-to) the multiple objects to.

   After checking that the total group is the exact size that I want, I then (with any "shims" removed) upsize or downsize the group incrementally — e.g. say, by 1.5x, 2x, 3x etc.

   The Problem :

   In many instances, this upsizing or downsizing has unexpected/unintended results — e.g. upsizing a group sized 12in w x 4in h by 2x, should yield a result of 24in w x 8in h, but in my experience, may yield something like 24.0001in w x 7.9998in h. Many times the size discrepancies will remain but change slightly, if I attempt to start-over and re-do my steps.

   Despite these types of size discrepancies not being optically discernable, it can be very frustrating, especially in instances where another designer or vendor I am needing to share files with, is planning to be able to precisely scale things up and down.

4. Illustrator crashes when using Image Trace

   Illustrator has been continually crashing when I use the Image Trace tool. I have been using it on the "Sketched Art" setting with an image file that is 20in x 13in @ 300dpi. Also, I have noticed that when I start to manipulate the advanced options, this is when it crashes most often.

   I am using Illustrator CC on Mojave OS.

5. When exported for screens, pictures that are rotated are extremely pixelated. And 300x300 resolution for PNGs is not big enough.

   When exported for screens, pictures that are rotated are extremely pixelated. And 300x300 resolution for PNGs is not big enough. I am working with letter and A4 formats, it is not convenient to enlarge my artboards every-time I export.

6. Properties panel auto select field contents

   Illustrator v24.0
   Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6

   Since the Properties panel was introduced in Illustrator, it won't allow selecting an item, then click once on a field name, such as W for the width field, and automatically select the contents of the field so you can then just enter a new value or use the arrow keys to change the value.

   It works fine in the Control bar and other panels, just not in Properties.
   It works in the Properties panels of InDesign and Photoshop, as well.
   Was hoping it would be fixed in Illustrator 2020, but still not.

   Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Seems to be fixed in recent version of Illustrator.

   Clicking a caption of a filed in Properties (if the caption exists for a value) does select the whole value, like it does in other panels.

   Please verify and reply back.

7. multi-GPU setups cause Illustrator to glitch out and become unresponsive

   I've got a two-GPU computer. If I'm using GPU preview mode, after working for a while (around 20-30 mins or more), the entire Illustrator UI will glitch out and become very artifact-y and unresponsive, and I can no longer work on the files I've got open, necessitating a restart of the app.

   This started happening right after I upgraded from one GPU to two, about a year ago. It happens only in GPU preview mode, not CPU. I've tried updating GPU drivers, updating Illustrator itself--nothing fixes the problem. I've seen other people online with multi-GPU setups say the same thing happens to them, so I'm not alone.

9. Illustrator Brush/Blob brush Lag Issue

   After latest Illustrator update, all brush tools are lagging - blob brush & brush. (using either mouse and tablet) Before an update everything works fine.
   Restart and making more disk space didn't help.

10. My brush does not display stroke

    Im drawing in illustrator and when I got to the brush tool and draw it sometimes shows a dot or it doesn't show anything at all. When I release after drawing it shows the stroke but the finished product. You can see how annoying this is when sketching an idea. It just draws but doesn't show the brush outline before you release to make the line.

11. Misaligned patterns on SVG import

    When opening an SVG file, pattern fills are incorrectly offset on both x and y axis.

    An inconvenient workaround is to reapply the pattern (Select shape, select pattern swatch). This will then position the pattern correctly.

    It would be great if the pattern was correctly positioned on file load.

    Tested on Windows 10. Illustrator 23.0.6 64bit

    See attached PNG for example.

    pattern-test.svg used in the screenshot:

    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="50" height="50" viewBox="0 0 50 50">
    <defs>
    <pattern id="New_Pattern" data-name="New Pattern" width="10" height="10" viewBox="0 0 10 10" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
    <rect width="10" height="10" fill="blue"/>
    <circle cx="5" cy="5" r="5" fill="red" />
    
    </pattern>
    </defs>
    <rect x="0" y="0" width="50" height="50" fill="url(#New_Pattern)" />

12. Image Trace panel greys out on existing traced object

    CC2019 v23.0.6

    After tracing an object, the Image Trace panel is greyed out. The only way to 'activate' the options is to switch views in the Control Bar a couple of times. It's arbitrary and annoying.

14. Illustrator crashes with every use. First, the drop menus depopulate, next the save dialog box dissapears, and then the program freezes

    My issues with illustrator 2019 started with previous update, but I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1903 and it's still a problem. Seems I've been lucky though to have this only happen to me recently. People have been raising their hands on this being an issue for them since October 2018! Unbelievable. So what's the solution?

15. Raster images should always honor the layer order and transparency values when scaling/moving/rotating

    When moving/rotating/scaling Raster images should always honor the layer order and transparency values.

    With "show images in outline mode" selected, I often drop in low res raster images on the bottom layer and outline them with the pen tool in higher level layers.. problem is the way illustrator handles raster images. If i draw a line on top of a raster image, then attempt to scale that raster image, my line is temporarily hidden while scaling, moving or rotating the raster image, making it nearly impossible to re-align my raster image to match newly drawn vector lines. Also, raster images with transparency are temporarily opaque when moving/scaling/rotating. so any foreground lines i may want to use for a scale reference are invisible when using the move/rotate/scale operations.

16. Gradients Crashing Illustrator

    Every time I drag a color swatch, whether an existing swatch or eye-dropped, into my gradient panel, Illustrator crashes. I'm also having issues with my gradient sliders spazzing out when trying to drag them. It causes my program to freeze up. I have one file open and only five gradients in my file, so not enough to overload illustrator. It's making my job extremely hard to do. I have also restarted and tried re-installing illustrator.

19. AI doesn't warn about matching hotkeys for commands and actions

    Actions can only be bound to F-keys.
    Keyboard shortcuts can be match to almost anything, including F-keys.
    When user tries to register new keyboard shortcut that already exists, AI warns them about conflict.
    But when user creates new shortcut for F-combination, already taken by action, AI says nothing.
    For example, if one of my actions uses Ctrl+Shift+F2, and then I want to assign same Ctrl+Shift+F2 for 'Change case' command, AI won't notify me. Action will run, but not a command then. If I uses Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F2 for that (or any) command, it still won't run, but action will do.
