It turns out that Illustrator does not follow the spec which implicitly forces a new starting point to be placed at the position of the last point of the previous sub-path.
The team is now aware of the issue.
An error occurred while saving the comment As it turns out, the namespace is case sensitive and the OCR produced 'W3' instead of 'w3', resulting an incorrect XML code. Illustrator was just more strict with it than others.
Also I’ve got the reply from the SVG team about this bug:
The issue is the following path string: "M30,15 v15 h-30 z v-15 h30 z". The string uses a trick where at the end of a sub-path, the new starting point (moveTo) is implicitly defined by the last point of the previous sub-path. A new sub-path gets created after a closePath (z) or a moveTo (m) operation.
To make things short: Illustrator does not follow the spec and uses a different point (the last point actually defined by the path data w/o taking implicit points into account).
Add M30,15 after the first z and the import should be correct.
This bug is logged and will be fixed intentionally.
Thanks for the report and your time spent to investigate this!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment UV does not allow to attach SVGs directly, because they 'can be potentially harmful'.
I had to OCR the code you posted:<svg xmlns="http://www.W3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 60 30" width="1200" height="600">
<clipPath id="s">
<path d="M0,0 v30 h60 v-30 z"/>
</clipPath>
<clipPath id="t">
<path d="M30,15 v15 h-30 z v-15 h30 z"/>
</clipPath>
<g clip-path="url(#s)">
<path d="M0,0 v30 h60 v-30 z" fill="#012169"/>
<!--ScotsBlue-->
<path d="M60,0 L0, 30" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="6"/>
<!--IreWhite-->
<path d="M60,0 L0,30" clip-path="url(#t)" stroke="#C8102E"
stroke-width="4"/>
<!--IreRed-->

<!--EireGreen-->
<path d="M35,15 h25" stroke="#FF883E" stroke-width="6"/>
<!--EireOrange-->
</g>
</svg>While it passes the W3C validation, and OS (I use Windows) generates the thumb for the file I stored this code within, it can’t be read by Ai for Desktop or Inkscape were able to read it. Tryit is able to, as well as Affinity Designer. Corel Draws gets frozen in the process of reading.
Something is strangely wrong. Perhaps it can be figured out.
Thanks for the report. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are actually several different things that can happen.
1. You move locked/hidden art
2. You move TO locked/hidden layer
3. Both things happen simultaneously
Sometimes you need to have these messages, and sometimes you'd prefer them don't interrupt you. While the 'Don't show again' seems like a good solution, the only way to bring it back when you switch to the task that depends on this error message, is to reset ALL warnings.
Meanwhile, Ai can display messages as popups — like the 'All assets exported' (in green 'confirmtion' color) or 'Shape expanded' when live rectangle/ellipse is modified (in gray neutral color). I like these a lot. What if you change these alert messageboxes into yellow/orange popups? And somehow give us a way to manage all messages in a list? Like, I want these to be messageboxes, those to show popup and others to never show anything.
I'll also turning this comment into a separate request:

An error occurred while saving the comment I understand why we do want to have less control points for objects.
This is why variable width strokes, blends and symbols...
This 'eyelash' example is a great illustration why we do this.What I didn’t understand is why dynamic symbol was used this leaves-case? Blend doesn’t survive if you put it in a dynamic symbol. Why not static, with a live blend inside?

An error occurred while saving the comment The downloaded file has a bunch of copies of a symbol with the expanded blend inside. When I try replicate this and place a live blend inside, Ai warns me about dynamic symbol allergy for live blends. When I agree to place it anyway, it gets converted to 257 paths. It takes a while, about a minute and then throttles each time I want to change anything.
My guess is the variable width path optimization the team made (you are well aware of it, sadly) is not that optimized and surely add to the calculation time — especially with that many expanded steps. Why do the team decided not to apply the optimization only when a variable width gets expanded... we can only guess and ask aloud.
However, when I try to create a static symbol, with the live blend, it works decently fast. What is the reason here for choosing an expanded blend way? -

An error occurred while saving the comment If you paste SVG code directly in Illustrator, it gets pasted as an art, not as a code. You don’t have to import it as a file.
As for markup mode... SVG is not the native format for Illustrator, so the data is not stored in it all the time, unlike Inkscape, for example. Some object Ai can work with SVG can’t handle at all, so the conversion you want to have won’t work for everything.
Here’s a longer explanation by Monika Gausse: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/svg-files-doesn-t-open-correctly-illustrator/td-p/11367580 -

An error occurred while saving the comment Wow. This is bizarre indeed.
Looks like Ai believes it has nothing to display, so it won’t do that at all, when all objects are hidden.
I can reproduce it.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Murad, I try to replicate it and fail. Can you share this specific file for testing?

An error occurred while saving the comment Rajesh, this is odd, to say the least.
What units do you use? Check in Preferences, please.
What is the size of your artboard?
Does it happen in every document, old and new?
Can you record a short GIF or a video which displays both Stroke panel, the object, and the way it behaves when you try to reproduce the behaviour? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I get the reasoning behind removing this functionality, sadly.
Before CC 2018, there was no way to select several artboards with the marquee, the same way we are able to do with Selection tool — because Artboard tool both creates, moves, and select at the same time. So now holding Shift before clicking switches the tool to the marquee mode, and after... well, it should have force square, but applies proportions of the last selected artboard instead.
So we are just out of modifiers here.
Alt copies, Ctrl switches to Selection tool (as anywhere else)...
I myself sometimes need to create artboard inside of an existing one. This is why I switched completely to creating rectangles first and then convert them to artboards with the menus command, assigned to a hotkey.
If you have ideas about solving this clash — please comment.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, there is a limit for using spot and global swatches in a gradient.
Illustrator shows the warning if you try to assign a new swatch to a stop using the popup panel (when you double click the stop), but does not show it, if you Alt+click the new swatch (it just drop the entire gradient), or if you drag-n-drop the swatch into the gradient strip in the panel (it draw a black line there and nothing happens.
A workaround would be to use ordinary swatches, but this is not a real solution for sure.
Also, I do not know which way you use to build a gradient, but perhaps these several scripts may come handy:

I am able to add much more than 27 swatches in a single gradient — take a look at the file attached.
Can you please share a test file with the gradient you can’t add more swatches into?

Having this tool form the box would be a great addition for sure.
At least we have this with paid plugins by Cvalley to achieve this, Craft and Broom tools: https://www.cvalley.com/products/filterit5-2/tools/
