Add Anchor Tool: Make it easier to add multiple anchors
When doing a complex drawing, I often start with a simple shape and then use the "Add Anchor Point" tool to add points to a line, near where I plan to place them (by clicking and dragging). For instance I'm drawing a partially constructed "Death Star" for a T-shirt I'm designing. I started with a circle, and on one side of the circle, I'm creating the (cartoonish) effect of a "ragged edge". This requires a sh*t load of anchor points, which have to be created by clicking on the perimeter of the founding circle, then moving slightly along the line, and finally aiming and clicking again. Emphasis on "aiming", which is quite tedious, since I miss 20 to 30% of the time.
It would be splendid if I could aim once, then repeatedly click, and watch little anchor points march along the line, spacing themselves, from each other, for easy click-and-drag, when it comes time to place the little buggers.
I saw the "More advanced 'Add Anchor Points' function" request, but it seems over complicated, so I didn't vote on it.

Place files via drag-n-drop but still allow options to be selected before placement.
If we want to place a page of a multi-page PDF into an AI file, we have to do so using the File->Place menu with Options checked. It would be nice to be able to simply drag the PDF onto the AI document and have the option dialog open so we can choose which page to place.

Merge and tile collection of images
Collections of images should be able to be merged into one image and tiled. That would make it a lot easier to make patterns.

Adobe color themes bug
The "Open Color Themes Panel" button in Swatches opens a broken panel that cannot be resized to see it's web view. It can only be resized vertically. Seems like it went unchecked and shipped.

Remove extra boxes get generated when a scatter brush is expanded
When I outlined the stroke of a scatter brush it adds a box around the shape, not useful at all. Should be the way it was before, now I have to delete all the little boxes to change the colour
1 votePlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. 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.

Sometimes when I use the Shift (m) tool, I get duplicate layers. Is there a tool to only select the top layers and delete bottom layers?
Sometimes when using the shift (m) tool, I delete out centers of objects, and then it creates multiple layers as duplicates. I must put a stroke on the top layer so that It can be cut out by my plotter. Well if there are duplicate layers, then all the layers get the same stroke, and then my plotter cuts multiple cut lines. Is there a tool to only highlight the top showing layers, and delete any duplicate layers underneath?

Artboard Resizing
Would like to be able to resize the artboards in both directions with a preview.
I'm sometimes having an issue where I can't resize the artboard in both directions x & y. Also now there is no preview for this operation like in previous versions.CC18

Block no selected objects
Hi there,
I would like to ask adobe for:
Some kind of hotkey which block/freeze "no selected objects" so when you are working you don't worry about select/move/delete other objects by mistake.
Also very helpful when you are selecting those tiny anchor points.
For 2017 christmas please ;-)
Thanks,
Marco B.1 voteObject > Lock > Other Layers does that.

When it will be fixed question.
Dear Developers of Illustrator CC and Management team, i have seen the list of all of your pretty names in about illustrator section and can now play "How many Kumars worked on the latest version" game. It may be different in your culture and menthality, like you have more patience, tolerance, you think strategically and working on the long term goals or such. But why do you think that a half cooked curry should taste as good as propery cooked? Why for the heavens sake do we have to spend more time working as your Quality Assurance, and have a "when it will be fixed" experience instead of concentrationg on our daily creative tasks? How did you manage to bring a rock-solid design tool into the current state? Features are good, but it has to be a reliable and consistent software in the first place. Not a half baked curry stew with a pupped wrap on top. Make a stable version. Test it. Test it again. Then test it even more. Add don't dare releasing it before it works at least as good as Illustrators 7-CS6 to not bring shame on the people who have created the Illustrator. Thank you.

Slices
I have created a logo and it saves in slices, and at one point in it's own folder, which I didn't ask it to do, I don't want that. Also the Illustrator program is to big, it falls off the screen at times and Photoshop is to small, I need a magnifying glass can they both be fixed so they can fit properly on the screen. Also now and then all the colors in swatch window disappears.

Allow to see full name past artboard extent / Don't truncate artboards' captions
The artboard name is restricted to the size of the artboard, which truncates the name and makes it illegible. Better logic would be to only shorten the name if it collides with another artboard name.

If an active text area is way off-screen, end text entry and treat keyboard input as shortcuts.
If you have been typing in a text area and pan away somewhere else, continuing to type results in the view port being dragged part of the way back to the active text area with the first key stroke and the rest of the way on the second.
Typing into an off-screen text area is almost always a mistake for me and usually results in a text area that is now empty except for a Space, V, T or A character from my most common keyboard shortcuts. I'd prefer if it just registered that I probably didn't want to type into an off-screen text area and took my input as a keyboard shortcut.

There is a double layer enabled at the launching screen and New File screen
Upon opening the 2018 CC apps the welcome/launch and the New File screens have 2 layers attached and thus makes it hard to select the file or action that I want.

Use arrow keys to kern letterforms
I would like to use arrow keys to visually kern letterforms, instead of having to enter numerical values = what you can do now only if you outline type. Thanks, Barry

Adobe installers for Mac install corrupt files
Adobe installers for Mac install corrupt files, as shown by DiskWarrior "Files - Check All Files and Folders”. For instance:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/LWA/amtservices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/._Info.plist
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/LWA/asneu.framework/Versions/A/Resources/._Info.plist
It would be great if Adobe checked that to make sure all files are OK before releasing installers. Thanks.
