Bounding Box resetting automatically — ruins workflow
Normally in Illustrator, the bounding box is locked to the orientation of an object until you manually reset the bounding box. I am experiencing a bug in Adobe CC 23.0.3 where the bounding box of an object, or group of objects in this case, resets immediately after a rotation. This prevents me from executing the standard task of rotating an object, then scaling it horizontally using the bounding box to create the correct perspective (see video).
The reason I'm confident in reporting this as a bug is because I have never experienced this before and have been using Illustrator since…

Center points are not visible
Guide objects have lost their center points. I have "Show Center" turned on in the Attributes panel and "Show Edges" turn on, and still, the Center-Points are not visible on object guides.
Object guides used to all have center-points showing all the time, as long as the guides were turned on. Now the center-points are missing.

Variable Font not working properly
Hello, I am a type designer and am working on a variable script font. The variable font file work fine everywhere else except in Adobe products.
It appears the sidebearings aren't adjusting with the changes in width. Very odd. You can see whats happening in the first file. The second is on the Axis Praxis website.
I've spoken with Glyphs App developers and they said it's a glitch with Illustrator, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Panels don't open with Application Frame turned off
On MacOS, when Application Frame is turned off, and Window panels (ex: Layers, Artboards, Swatches, etc.) are condensed, the Window panels will not appear when clicked on. They only work if Application Frame is on.

Workspaces not working, all panels hidden on start up.
Just update to CC23.0.1 and when I start up Illustrator all the panels are turned off and my workspace won't change or reset.
I can turn on the panels manually, but it resets when I close Illustrator. The reset, new workspace and manage workspaces options are greyed out. If I try to change the workspace nothing happens.

Mesh objects don't get selected when only edge is marqueed
All paths in AI get selected when you draw a marque over their edge (with no points inside selection). Segment got selected. It is fine.
But mesh objects are immune to edge marqueing, because there is no 'segment' thing for a mesh. WHY? Why don't you make the same thing as it's done for paths? Just select seam between mesh points and allow to move both points adjacent when seam is 'selected'.
I put this into Bugs, because I consider this a bug rather than request. Like 'Selecting segments in mesh is broken all these years since introduction and everybody…

Delete Color Group in Swatches ungroups group instead deleting
When I need to completely delete color group, I select it and press Delete palette's button (or try palette's menu). Any way. AI moves all colors from it to general colors, removing only the folder, but not colors, asking nothing (even with warnings reset).
I have to deselect my art, click first of moved colors, Shift+click the last one and delete swathes again.17 votes -

Pathfinder resets the transformation of a gradient
I have an ellipse with radial fill and I want it to be partially cropped by rectangle.
I select both rectangle with no fill, intersecting my circle, and apply Divide from Pathfinder.
I expect middle part to have gradient, positioned as uncut circle, but it becomes clear.
If i swap order of these objects, middle part has gradient, but AI resets it's position.

no resize handles
My Selection tool does not show the resize handles anymore- this is making it nearly impossible to design easily- I have to measure and assign all aspects if it isnt sized right the first go. I have tried everything to fix it and I need it for school

2. Add to CC library via drag and drop.

Creating and/or Entering Opacity Mask doesn’t work from Properties / Control panels
When clicking on the Opacity popu-up panel (in Control or Properties) and then clicking on the mask thumbnail to activate that mode, the thumbnail highlights but as soon as I attempt to edit the contents of the mask, it shows that the mode is not activated. Only if I select the 'Clip' checkbox in the Opacity panel will it allow me to edit the mask. But then clicking the 'Object' thumbnail in the Opacity panel, similarly does not exit mask-editing mode. I have to uncheck the 'Clip' checkbox to get back to normal mode. Previously, simply clicking on each thumbnail…

Rasterizing an object inside of a clipping group flattens the clipping group itself
If we need to rasterize one selected object inside of the clipping group, we have to isolate the object to avoid flattening the clipping group. Isolating only the clipping group won’t help, we have to 'drill into' the object specifically!
This doesn’t happen for simple groups — with these we don’t have to isolate anything at all, just selecting a child is enough.
Thanks to Junior Rocha for raising this up.

ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定したドキュメントをPDFで書き出したものがオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる
macOS13.6.7/iMac27inch(Intel)
Illustrator ver.28.6再現手順
1. いくつかの図形を重ねて合成モードを乗算に設定したうえでグループ化しグループの抜きのチェックボックスを外す。
2. ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定する。
3. PDF X4で保存する。
4. そのPDFをAcrobatで開く。
5. Illustrator上でのオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる。Actual result
PDFを書き出した状態とIllustrator上での表示が異なる。Expected Result
PDFの表示とIllustrator上での表示が同じになる。Illustrator上でのグループの構造の違いがIllustrator上のレンダリング結果とPDF書き出し結果で相違が生じています。1でのグループの抜きのチェックを外したグループではIllustrator上ではグループ内ので抜き処理を行わず合成モードの処理を行います。これがPDFを書き出した際にグループの抜きと解釈され、全てがノックアウトされた状態でPDFが作成されます。どちらが正しいかという事は難しいのですが、グループに設定されたノックアウトを拒否する設定をPDF書き出し時にも有効にするほうが表現の幅が拡がるように思います。
