    The team expresses a cautious hope that the issue maybe has been fixed with the latest 29.7.0.14 Beta — but they need a confirmation from us, since the nature of the bug is elusive. Please try it and comment back it it ever happens again.

    There are also some WIP changes about how artboards work (driven by UV requests), so be warned.

    I have the steps to get this to show up on my computer(Mac). I notice with a different file and was able to get it to happen again with fresh file. My issue was artboard number 8 would be skipped and number 9 would be duplicated.

    Starting with a fresh file with three artboards.

    -Go into artboard tool
    -Delete two of the artboards
    -Duplicate the remaining artboard over the the right holding shift and option
    -Do this step with the second artboard
    -Select the three artboards and duplicate them down holding shift and option
    -Repeat the last step and find that what should be artboard 8 is now artboard 9 twice

    Something I noticed that if I restarted ai(quit the application) the bug would disappear. I couldn't recreate it then and the file I was working in was fixed. My thought is it might be a combination with having multiple tabs open and have your application open for days on end. When I found this bug I had five tabs open and with two of them needing to be saved(having an * by the file name). I believe ai was opened five days prior without being closed out. I am not a coder so I don't know if this has anything to do with it but this was my experience.
