How many files do you have opened at once?
How large is you screen? Can you share a screenshot?
Do you have any plugins installed?Do you know about this request?

An error occurred while saving the comment I won’t ask you do so (I do keep files in it myself), but — do files (with the same size and complexity) get saved faster when NOT in the Dropbox folder? Just to be sure that’s the problem?

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, it means then the optical kerning is relative to the objects’ text sizes then... I had this discovery made in similar conditions, and I decided never leave live text in logos after that (and all my files after that with logos have the original and the fully outlined-expanded versions next to each other).
I wonder why though... -

An error occurred while saving the comment Rahim, do you still have it happening today, with more recent version of Illustrator?
If yes — can you please share a test file and attach some screenshots?I have my guesses why you apply Outline Object effect in general (I do the same occasionally too) — but why exactly?

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, I had something like this, but mostly with live text, justified, using threads and Every-line composer... But I see the text is outlined here.
Mihaly, when was the last time you noticed this?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Dan, does it happen today?
Look like a GPU precision bug (similar to this one: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42831852) -

I could not understand much looking at the screenshots.
Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.An error occurred while saving the comment @mnorriswd, do you still have this problem today?
How large is the text? Are you aware of hinting?
Can you share a test file for the team to review it?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Stephanie, does this still happen for new on new releases?
If yes — can you share a packaged file that have issues like this? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Chris, open the 'opacity mask_CMYK' one...
Zoom into the corner in the center and hide the supplementary object. Do you see the gradient doesn’t end abruptly, but actually blends?So go into the mask, select the path with the gradient, select the black stop, open the Color panel, and change the rich black this has into pure CMYK 0-0-0-100. Instead of pushing all the four channels into super dense mask, use one only.
For me it makes it work as expected. Does it for you?You should not use rich black (converted from the RGB black) in CMYK docs that cautiously. Sure, when copying artwork from an RGB doc into a CMYK one, Ai won’t allow a simple way to convert one black into another and opacity masks are closed-off boxes (even Ai’s own commands have no control over these en masse). Recolor dialog won’t know about blacks inside, when stuff selected outside.. Global swatches for the rescue!
An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting. I use strokes across path in opacity mask in every third project (I mean it), but I never had a clipping like this.
Chris, can you please share this test file? I try to make it happen and it works OK.
Are you on 30.3? Same in Beta? Same in both RGB and CMYK docs? Same on CPU Preview? (what is your GPU?) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Confirm. Being a hotkey enthusiast, I definitely encountered this before, randomly. That’s what it was then... thanks!

An error occurred while saving the comment That’s Ai being more respectful to typography, treating text as text and not just rendered glyphs.
This area below text is the descender area. So if you add some letters that has descenders (like y, p, j, g, q, or in other languages: щ, д, ӷ, ԯ, ŋ...) — the bounding box won’t magically increase the height.
Illustrator comes from the era when knowing this would matter and help to work with text efficiently, respecting the habits forged with metal typesetting, by people who invented digital type, for users who are familiar with the nature of type.Times changed, rules changed, intentions are now more diverse... Modern apps (who can afford not respecting traditions) just ignore the descender (and ascender too) area and make it always hug the glyphs tightly. Rude but sometimes effective :)
I agree — being a professional tool, Ai should allow us (all of us, with various levels) to choose if we want the bounding box to hug text tightly (as if outlined), or according their actual M-boxes.In recent years some changes toward this were made in Illustrator as well (sure they did, they made Font Height Options)
So, Align panel now allows us to choose if we want to align to the bounding box or the glyph outlines, like the screenshot shows.
It’s only half of the solution, and it’s rather hidden, and in won’t change the bounding box visually, but it's there to solve the alignment.An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator is the only editor that still draws the bounding box not by the dimensions of the actual glyphs, but by their em boxes.
CorelDraw, Affinity Designer, Xara, Inkscape, Photoshop... all draw the bounding box tightly hugged (InDesign drops out a bit because it doesn't have out-of-frame text).
Illustrator tried 4 years ago to make modes for text alignment, as stated below, but it came out non-obvious and hardly convenient. A partial solution. There are hacks, but they are, well, stupid.
We need to get it addressed.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment You mean this?

Well, AI does it right then. See, letters have descenders:
https://www.designersinsights.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Anatomy-of-Typography.png
AI selects text based box around all elements of the text.
Still, it doesn't mean that it can't be made that it will select text only when you click in actual glyphs, but I expect it would take more power to calculate. This also means that you will have gaps in text where you can click and not select anything, if gap is larger than selection tolerance.
Well, you can ask for omitting ascenders and descenders for lower-case (and remember which glyph is uppercase too), but I afraid it will still confuse people.
I'll vote for this, but it will make a lot of tests and precautions to make it right. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Same problem. It started happening several versions ago — tabs no longer activate and open when I hover over them with the dragged artwork. Sometimes it helps to drop onto the tab, but I can’t tell when it would work.
In Photoshop there’s no problem.An error occurred while saving the comment Yes! Thanks for the report, it means it’s not just me seeing this!

An error occurred while saving the comment Will, does it happen in any file? can you reproduce this problem in a new document?
Does anything change if you toggle CPU Preview (not sure though if thumbnails in Layers depend on this...)?I recall there were similar problems, but bound to some specific conditions...
When I test this now, it works as it should (I do this on Windows 10 though). Maybe it’s a specific appearance only, or a type of an object? Please help to narrow it down. -

An error occurred while saving the comment So you’d like something to help you balancing the visual weights? Like for a press wall, when you get several dozen of logos and you need to make them look equal?
As I see i, this is a complex task that deeply involves our perception, the optical illusions we get, cognitive traps... the objects themselves can be perceived differently, if we add more details, or change color, or make the outline jagged... I can image an AI-tech that is trained to balance these, based on many lessons from real humans, but not sure if it can be a bulletproof algorithmic solution.Or did you mean something else?

An error occurred while saving the comment Lane, please share this simple test file here.
Does it look the same when you are switching into CPU Preview mode? What GPU are you using? Please tell more about your system specs.
