Cursor stays invisible after exiting Presentation mode
How to reproduce:
Create a multiple artboard document.
Enter presentation mode.
Do not move the mouse.
Use the left and right arrow keys to view all the art boards.
Note that windows will make the mouse cursor invisible since you are not using it.
Press ESC to return to normal viewing/editing mode.
Now the mouse cursor is invisible.Work around: If you go back to presentation mode and wiggle the mouse and press ESC while the mouse is visible then the mouse will be visible in normal screen mode.

Fitting an artboard to a path with a Freeform Gradient creates invisible border
Fitting an artboard to a path with a Freeform Gradient creates invisible border. It seems to create space around the path when fitting — only seems to be an issue with freeform gradients.

Non-global swatches in cloud libraries don't retain names when added in new documents
I have a large cloud library with like 800 swatches for customers that I need to use in multiple different documents. Most of the swatches were uploaded with the global tag so when I use them later on, they still have their name when I add it to the documents. However, some of my swatches are missing the global tag so when I add them later on, they just automatically convert the selected object to CMYK and doesn't add it to my swatch panel.
If it matters, my workflow is selecting the objects that need the new swatches, then clicking…

Split Into Grid adds printable lines instead of guides
In Split Into Grid window there's an option to "add guides". But instead of guides lines are added that have standard stroke — printable lines that are conveniently in neutral greenish color 0,1 pt stroke and look like guides so it's easy to miss that.

Touch Type's alternate glyphs panel should ignore view rotation.
Okay, just, look at this screenshot. Look at it. Contemplate it for a moment. Ask yourself if this feels like the right thing to do.
The type itself is at about 45º to the edges of the artboard; I've rotated the canvas to roughly align with the type so I can have a better view of it while I think about how to properly deploy Bookmania's glorious OpenType alternate forms.
I really wasn't expecting the Touch Type tool's popup to match the alignment of the canvas' edges but in retrospect I'm not surprised. NOTHING drawn in the preview window aligns…

Crash on new artboard
Every time I click on the "+" under my artboards window, it crashes. I have 24 artboards already, and if I duplicate one using Option click drag, it seems ok. But New Artboard crashes again and again.

Perspective grid vertical axis has incorrect foreshortening

Object size (width/height) swapped in control bar.
See attached screenshot. Control bar shows the width and height of the object/rectangle incorrectly. 'Transform' box shows correct info, but control bar swaps the 2 dimensions.
2 votesShape’s width and height differ from path's width and height, as explained in comments.
To deal with the second half of the problem, vote for this request to make Offset Path to respect the original position and the direction of a path.

Contextual Task Bar and Help Bar don’t have hotkeys and these can’t be assigned
When I check Keyboard Shortcuts, Menu Commands, Window, I can find Control, Properties... but not Contextual Task Bar or Help Bar. So we can’t assign hotkeys for these and call these from keyboard when needed.
Seems like someone forgot to include these slots for customization. Please expose these.2 votes -
Gray popup about Unpropping appears again and again
A grey popup appears constantly whenever I am ungrouping things to tell me about ungrouping.
Nothing in Preferences makes this go away and I see it repeatedly so closing it once doesn't work either. I really don't need training wheels and this should be one simple option to disable all large tooltips, blue popups and gray popups. There are already enough idiosyncrasies and distractions with Illustrator.2 votesThe fix is expected to land in the next Beta build. These messages should and hopefully will be displayed once only.

Double Click on Fill results in Black
Double clicking on the Fill (bottom of tools palette), when the current fill is a gradient results in the fill turning black, in stead of opening the Gradient Editor, which might be helpful and intuitively right.
Please make this happen:
Double click on the Fill at the bottom of the tools palette should open the color editor that is most likely:
-RGB color should open RGB editor, CMYK should open CMYK editor, Gradient should open Gradient Editor, etc.2 votes -
Can't constrain Curvature tool with Shift while moving points
When using Curvature tool while drawing a line you can use the Shift key to constrain the new point to certain dimensions like you would with pen tool, but if you go back and try to move a point later, the shift key seems to have no effect on movement.

Curvature tool does some funkiness when clicking on a point of a different object
Curvature behaves weird when you click on another object (related to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44830828--corner-anchor-points-become-smooth-when-joining).
But I'm not trying to join the objects, just click on it. It works fine if you click on the path of the second object, but if you click where an anchor point is it joins the two objects together at the point you click and the first anchor point of what you clicked off of. It also deletes all corner points of the object you clicked on.2 votes
