"Open" button not responding first time
After the recent update, with the new layout of the home screen, I have to click the "Open..." button two or three times before it opens the file explorer window. It acts like it is being clicked, but then nothing happens.

Allow Shift + arrows in an input field to always add 10 (like in Photoshop) instead of rounding up to a 10 first
In illustrator if you change sizes using shift + arrows in the top bar, it rounds up to the nearest 10 and then goes up in 10s. In photoshop it doesn't round up just increases by 10.
I think it would be better to be able to choose which mode to use as sometimes I prefer either depending on what I am doing.

Hitting Enter/Return to confirm after modifying values (Stroke, Opacity, Etc) in the Top Toolbar Opens a Move Dialog Box Instead
When modify values such as opacity in the toolbar, i have always hit enter/return to confirm changes. As of recently however, this now opens a Move dialog box instead of submitting my changes. (See the attached gif for an example)
If there is something wrong about my workflow please let me know, but I don't currently see any other way of confirming these types of minor edits.
After several rounds of cancelling the move dialog, the changes will miraculously go through, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why. As you can imagine, this is…

Pressing Tab in Color panel glitches
When adding a color to a object via the Color panel, normally you could use tab to move to the next field in the CMYK color options. Now and for the past few versions released it glitches any time you use Tab.
To get it to work you now have to type in the number for C, click enter then click in the M, Enter/click Enter and so on, which is time consuming. If you don't do it this way it glitches after hitting.
In the video i linked, the first try is using Tab, then the 2nd where it…

Rich tool tips are always randomly opening and staying open something even when I am on other side of screen. Hard to take a screen shot, as when I click to screen shot the tool tips disappear. It's been happening on 2 different machines running Sonoma for about 1 year. Never used to happen.

Gradient Panel gets cut off when selecting a gradient object.
There's an odd bug on Mac (M1 Pro with Latest version of Tahoe) where the Gradient Panel will expand in a way that it cuts off the position input when selecting an object with a gradient. Collapsing and opening the panel temporarily fixes it, but if you click off and click another gradient object again, it'll do it again.
This bug was also in 30.1, and I just updated to the latest version a few minutes ago, tested it again, and the issue is still there.
Gif was recorded using the latest version, 30.2.1.2 votes -

2026 Illustrator UI Bugs EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Seriously, do you guys even use your own products? These issues are not buried, they are very apparent. Take a look at the attached screenshots. Gradients have been broken for a while now.
Also, this new version is full of bugs. I have to restart Illustrator immediately after opening for the bounding box to work, half the time adobe fonts are broken and wont sync.
Windows 11, i9, 4080 super, 64gb ram, 2gb download speed... I have all the things you need for a fast and efficient workflow, but Adobe's legacy code mixed with all the new bugs from the…

Numeric fields don’t accept typed input (e.g. Stroke width) in 30.1
Reporting a UI regression in Illustrator 30.1 affecting numeric input fields.
Issue
In fields such as Stroke Width (Properties panel) and others, cannot type numeric values directly like we used to.- Arrow keys and scrubby dragging work
- Typed input is ignored (caret often never appears)
- This makes precise values (e.g., 240 pt) extremely impractical
Environment
* Illustrator version: 30.1
* OS: (macOS / Windows – occurs on both, per community reports)
* Panel affected most often: Properties (Stroke, Transform, etc.)Notes
* The former “Scrubby Sliders” preference appears removed or always-on
* The issue behaves like a focus/caret bug,…2 votes -
File New dialog is invisible with two monitors
When i click the "New" button in the homepage, the window that has all the settings to create a new document is invisible, it doesn't appear, but the arrow of my mouse shows me that it can interact with the window, but it doesn't show. I use another monitor and i have found online that illustrator tends to have bugs while having a second monitor.
