Recently AI made focus in font list in Character palette jump to the top of the list, in 'Recent fonts' part, thus making impossible to browse fonts in alphabetical order — you have to scroll font list manually to position.

This is stupid.

In 22.1.0 this request has been realized:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32044567-option-to-disable-recent-fonts-feature

Now user can set '0' in Preferences to completely eliminate 'Recent' section in font list — and this magically 'fixes' selection of current font in context.

This is stupid.

I personally want to use BOTH 'Recent fonts' AND current font focusing.
I don't care about it won't be selected in Recent: just show me chosen number of recent font options above the line (without selection), make it fixed (or make it go away right after I start scrolling) and select current font in the main list.

Just like CorelDraw does (see image attached).
Don' t do as Microsoft Word does (it does it wrong too).

Ok, the Adobe menus have a LOT of menu items and features. You guys should create a search bar that searches all the menu items and features to make it easier to find things.

Microsoft has this feature in it's Office Suite and it is SUPER useful.

For example have a bar that asks the user "What are you looking for" They can type anything, for example "Alignment" and it would bring up the alignment menu. Or "pathfinder" will bring up a button for the pathfinder menu.

Think about it guys, would save EVERYONE who isn't a pro SO much time.

1. Right now only templates from Adobe Stock show up here. It's counterintuitive. I would like to have my custom templates saved here. Otherwise they are relatively hidden at the bottom of the 'Web' or 'Print' lists.
2. I would also like to be able to quickly save a template right from the new document window (not have to make a document, save as template, get permissions error, fix permissions, save template).
3. The new document window is VERY SLOW to open. Legacy is instant and the lag is really frustrating.
   
4. Please for the love of creative gods, fix the High Sierra/CC bugs. My programs crash my entire computer several times a day. Thank you.

Currently, when one uses the "Release to Layers" command, all naming on the groups is removed and the resulting layers are renamed rather unhelpfully as Layer 2, Layer 3, etc. In addition, these new "Layers" are kept as sub-layers of the orignal layer which, when working with complex artwork, can be quite confusing. The current functionality completely invalidates good organizational practices and actually punishes any attempt at naming conventions when needing to prepare artwork for other applications (such as After Effects).

Ideally, when "Release Layers to Sequence" is performed, the naming already in place on the selected groups or objects would be RETAINED, rather than being inexplicably discarded. In addition, since the entire purpose of releasing to layers is to create NEW layers, these would automartically become top-level layers, rather than sub-layers of the original layer. Or perhaps an option could be included to retain current layer structure.

This would be extremely valuable for working between Illustrator and After Effects, as After Effects only recognizes top-level Illustrator layers as individual After Effects layers. The reality is that artwork received for animation is often not optimized for importing into After Effects, which means wasted time in prepping artwork for use between two applications which should have much greater interoperability (as is clearly possible as evidenced by the functionality introduced by the 3rd part script Overlord). Many Illustrator artists will use tons of subgroups that may very well function better as individual layers in After Effects, but the prep work invbolved currently is less than optimal given the current functionality of "Release to Layers."

1 v 22.0.1

Most of the Features in Illustrator have inconsistent number of decimal points.
New document size - 3 decimal places - 0.001
Artboard size - 2 decimal places - 0.01
Artboard position x,y (in the same window) - 1 decimal place - 0.1
creating new rectangle - 4 decimal places 0.0001
Object transformation - 3 decimal places 0.001
Rectangle angle 2 decimal places - 0.01
Rounding corners - 3 decimal places 0.001
Split into grid - 2 decimal places 0.01

Offset path - 4 decimal places 0.0001
3d revolve angle 0 decimal places
3d Extrude & Bevel angles 2 decimal places, 0.01
3d Extrude & Bevel - extrude depth - 2 bevel height 0 decimal places
3d Rotation everything 2 decimal places 0.01
drop shadow dialogue - 2 decimal places
Move dialog - 4 decimal places
Pattern - 4 decimal places
Blend - 2 decimal places

Let's look at the example user journey:

In my workflow I am building an illustration of isometric sport games layouts.
As Illustrator has an working area size limitation i am forced to keep the illustration in certain scale. and for smaller objects I have to create bigger versions of 3D elements, then through symbols/CC library scale them down. Otherwise the limitation in number of decimal places of the 3D effects doesn't allow me to keep the proper object shapes.

The number of decimal places in Transform tool is 3 (minimum 0.001)

The extrude Depth field has a soft cap for 2 deciamal places and minimum value of 0.01 pt

the Bevel Height for some unclear reason is limited to zero decimal places - 1pt

Both have to be 3 decimal places a minimum value of at least 0.01pt ()

Asset Export - Ability to reorder asset list view:

Love the asset export, but it'd be really useful to click/drag change the order of my asset list in Asset Export panel.

It would also be great to have an option to group by art board. When I have a file of 20+ ad variants as their own individual artboard and want to export assets, it's a pain to keep track of things. It's also too bad that if I make a new asset later in the process, there's no way to group that asset next to the others in the same artboard, it's stuck at the bottom of the list.

Using the latest version of Adobe Illustrator. I've just bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 it has a 1050 NVIDIA Graphics card, Windows 10 and a 4K screen. The interface is extremely tiny. It's usable but the effects gallery is too tiny to use.
I'm not sure if this a "bug" per se, but none of the fixes available online work (this included creating a Prefer External Manifest file and code for the Illustrator executable file). What I've read says this is a problem Adobe needs to address.
I'm extremely disappointed in this. What can I do to fix the interface?

As you know, Illustrator keeps exported images in the File > Open Recent Files list.
So if I export 20 TIFs from a single document — they will all will be listed there.

This is dumb, and there are multiple requests to stop this:
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests?query=recent%20files

There are also requests to be able to clear that list (guess why there is a need for this).

But we should also be able to remove positions from the list one by one.
Use cases:
1. I renamed a file and now I can’t open it via this menu
2. I moved the file and now I can’t open it via this menu
3. I have files with long names that Ai truncates and I know I will need only the third, for example, and want to delete others so they do not eat up space and confuse me in the future

I don't understand why Adobe tries to fix things that aren't broken. The properties tab at the top is where it needed to stay. Having moving properties to a side tab was a huge mistake. My workload has increased just trying to find where things have gone and I find it much less useful this way. You also have gotten rid of the expand button when doing in image trace. I'm sure I'll find many more things that have gone missing or much harder to find now. I feel like CS5 was the most perfected version of all adobe products and now that we have creative cloud I'm always running into bugs and dislike all updates since CS5.
