An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Odd :( I suppose you try to open RGB docs, right? Just in case — what is the status of the 'Display Print Size at 100% Zoom' option in Preferences > General? Is it off?
Can you show some screenshots of before and after, with the document’s tab/title visible, please? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I know it’s way too late for this comment, but this happens when a document with a size larger than 16384 points (~ 227 in / 5766 mm), saved in a 24.2 or newer, get opened in a pre-24.2 version — older versions know nothing about the 'Large canvas' mode with the internal ×10 scaling coefficient, and just loose it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Reducing an artboard size inside of an already created document in a large canvas mode sadly won’t change the mode back to a normal document :(
There’s a request to allow conversions like this:
Ability to change the Canvas size after a new document is created (normal to large and vise versa)
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40733938An error occurred while saving the comment Brian, if only it was simple, this 'simply allow'.
Ai is a behemoth with dependencies as bones and existing workflows as veins. Changing anything that simple can cause everything to crumble, in the most unexpected place imaginable. Actually, the problems you are seeing the large canvas mode is causing (while it being a rather harmless band-aid, applied to the surface of the behemoth) would be a tiny fraction of problems a truly infinite canvas would cause to the model. And it’s like performing a surgery on a living brain, since Illustrator is always is in use by us.But I agree.
There is an existing request that is gaining popularity, about the truly infinite canvas: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38129344 — you can upvote it, if you wish.An error occurred while saving the comment Wojciech, it feels like a bug with the large canvas coefficient. Can you please package the original file and send it to sharewithai@adobe.com for further investigation?
Also, please try to create new file with the same dimensions (which should result in a non-large canvas doc) and paste your art there. Then try again the save process and see if the bug stays.
And thanks for the report!

A way to hide Gen A.I. features, specifically in the home page
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/51361159An error occurred while saving the comment I want to have a dedicated section in Preferences for all the Generative functions Ai adds, and a master option to shut them all down.
I don’t care if Adobe as a company thinks of these additions as indispensable tools that would form the future or not. I perceive these as alien and forced, and I want to have control over tools that are server-based and require payed credits. I want this interaction to be as transparent as it can be, without aggressive marketing, trying to feed with 'magic'. I want a tool, not a fairy godmother from Cinderella to pose a slot machine as a shortcut to a magic royal ball.
Control should come form US, users.AdminEgor Chistyakov

Add an option for Offset Path command and effect to respect the direction and starting point of the original path
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48230837An error occurred while saving the comment There is an actual request to make Offset Path respect the original position and the direction of a path:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48230837
Please upvote it if you want this as an option!An error occurred while saving the comment Renny, there is an actual explanation.
Let me show.1. Grab the Rectangle tool
2. Draw a narrow horizontal rectangle, starting from top left angle
3. Open Stroke panel and assign endpoint arrowhead
As you can see, the last (and the first point) of the rectangle is the point where you release the cursor4. Now make a copy of this rectangle and rotate it 90°
Check both, comparing their parameters in Transform panel — to see both the Width/Height AND Rectangle Width/Height — since these are two different things. The path’s width and height are just X and Y lengths. The shape’s width and height depend on the rotation of the path relative to its starting point. That’s why we can select both copies of you rectangle and change their 'rectangle widths' at the same time — that’s why we have live shapes in the first place! You can rotate a rectangle to an arbitrary angle, and Ai will still allow you to change the rectangle’s dimensions... while the path’s width and height would become recalculated according to the rotation value.5. Now select both and apply Object > Path > Offset Path.
Do you notice anything strange?
Even thought the starting points differed for both paths/shapes, the new ones Ai assigns are the leftmost-and-bottommost ones — despite the original position of starting points.
But since it makes an offset path of a rectangle into a rectangle (makes sense), it leads to 'swapping' you observe.In other words — if you lay down, you height won’t change, right? :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting!
My guess is that Ai understands that a result of the Offset Path applied to rectangle should be a rectangle and convert the resulting path into a live shape automatically. But it does that according to the first point (and the direction) of the path... and it is changed compared to the original by the Offset algorithm.
Easy to track if you apply an arrowhead before Offset Path.
See the image attached.The first and last point of rectangle created is always a point where you finish to draw a shape.
The direction of the path is based on the quadrant: top-left and bottom-right ones give clockwise direction, while top-right and bottom-left quadrants make them counter-clockwise.
But Offset Path make the direction always clockwise and finishes the paths at the bottommost point (and if two several points have the same Y-coordinate, the leftmost is picked)!
Same is true for any shape, not only rectangles, like the second image shows.So it’s not a bug, it’s just how Ai maintains consistency.
On the other hands, Ai could have been choosing the starting point and the direction to match the original, instead of forcing the direction an the bottommost point... I’d love to have it as an option. Would you mind converting this report into such a request?

Can you please share both the font files and the document with the team so they can review it?
You can either attach them here, if you are allowed to, or send them directly to sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case please mention the link to this bug report, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51392119) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Siam, please tell more about your tablet, the driver version, the Windows version, the Illustrator build.
Also, do you have the Enable Wacom option enabled in Ai’s Preferences > Devices? Do you have Windows Ink enabled? Does toggling these and relaunching Ai change anything? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Again, Illustrator allows to have it today also — some of it.
Please study the Placement Options (the Fill method specifically) in Links panel.
They won’t survive skewing (it throws the positioning completely off), but stay correctly filled after rotating and scaling.An error occurred while saving the comment Ai allows this today.
There is an Object > Clipping Mask > Edit Contents / Mask command. By default it doesn’t have a hotkey assigned, and you can make one (I have it at Opt/Alt+7, to match the 7 digit).
Also, Control panel (not Properties, it lacks many things) has two paired buttons: Edit Clipping Path & Edit Contents — they do the exact same thing as the menu command.Please check and comment back if it works for you.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep. In a mixed selection of both embedded and still linked images Ai disables the button (sadly)... And Links doesn’t offer a way to separate and quickly select one type or another.
As a workaround I can offer a free Select Menu plugin (https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#selectmenu) — it adds a pack of commands,, including Select > Object > Basic Art Types > Placed Art. This should speed up your workflow a bit (and you can assign a hotkey to it or wrap into an action, to speed it up).
As for the unlocking the showing the locked and hidden ones... I suppose it goes way to against what Lock and Hide are for, select All can’t select these.
But perhaps a dedicated command in Links panel (now a full clone of the button in Control) can be altered to work with none selected at all to offer some global choices, instead of being just grayed out.An error occurred while saving the comment Protecting locked images from embedding is actually a correct thing to have, but I agree that AI should provide a way to embed locked too right there, when you embed them, without you making steps 4–6.
Multi-core is still a better thing to have, sure.

An error occurred while saving the comment Text mode is one of several existing modes, and I can’t say AI does a perfect job to signal some commands would work or not or change the behavior in different modes enough. This command is one of them. Create Outline works in general mode, but not in the text mode, because it works with objects only, not with characters you selected. Ai doesn’t offer splitting text in characters, lines, or paragraphs (there’s a request for this, BTW: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40953034 — an there are many free and paid scripts and plugins that offer this, most powerful being the Astute Graphics’ VectorFirstAid’s Break Text at Selection — https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorfirstaid/vectorfirstaid-panel/vectorfirstaid-panel-flyout-menu). And since Ai doesn’t offer it from the box, it can’t allow to outline a portion of text, breaking the flow of text (imagine selecting one word in the very middle of an area type text...)
Anyway, sorry for ranting, the request makes total sense, but it solely depends on the missing functions requested above.
Crosslinkining, upvoting! Thanks
One more question — do you have an external monitor connected? If yes — does it behave as it should without it?
And if yes, what are the display sizes, in pixels?
