automatic quitting when clicking the red close button
When clicking on the RED "Close" button, Illustrator prompts me to either (Save what's on the clipboard" or "Discard". Then automatically quits. EVERY SINGLE TIME. This is NOT right no matter what your tech support peons were told to say.

The hinting not applied when export to JPG with anti-aliasing set to Hint in "Export for screen"
When exporting a JPG using "Export for screen", the hint information applied in the anti-aliasing setting is not applied and the expected output cannot be obtained.
environment / OSX10.13.6/Illustrator ver.24.0.0
Step to reproduce.
1. Files -> Export -> Export for screen
2. Set the Format as "JPG 100" and click the Preferences icon.
3. Choose "JPG100" and set the Antialias as "Hint".
4. Click apply and export.Result : The Hint no applied.
We need to get correct images like Illustrator ver.23.
Workaround
Use another functionality such as "Save for Web" or use Illustrator ver.23.6 votesDisabling 'Export in Background' in Preferences > File Handling helps to workaround the problem (until the actual fix). Make sure you enable 'Art Optimized (Supersampling)' as an anti-aliasing option in Export for Screens settings as well.

Metadata title isn't saving (24.0)
When I save an illustrator file, it's stripping out the specified metadata title and replacing it with the filename upon re-opening the file. Even if I re-enter the info in Bridge, when I modify & save the file in Illustrator, it reverts to the file name.
When I export the image though, it attaches whatever title is showing in the file info panel in Illustrator, regardless of whether it will "stick" after closing or not.Also to note, if I enter info into other fields it seems to work fine. It's only the Title that is being overridden.

Problem Illustrator 24 does not support the old PANTONE libraries
I tried to follow your guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html, that I always used to insert the old PANTONE libraries and have a conversion to CMYK instead of LAB and in this version it doesn't work.
I contact the online chat and they replied that this thing with ILLUSTRATOR 24 is no longer supported, and it is absurd.
I also tried to install the prereleas 24.0.1 but it doesn't work.
I can't work without this.

Character/paragraph style incompleteness
Creation of Character/paragraph style is not undoable.
You can undo any operation before and after but creation of Character/paragraph style does not get into "undo" list. You have to delete it manually from styles list.Select text\paragraph, make Character/paragraph style. Selected text/paragraph is not set instantly to this newly created style but it should.

Image embed option in SVG options does not work
Environment:
OS: Windows 10 Home
Illustrator Version 23.0.3 (64 bit)Recreating the bug:
1. Create some Illustrator artwork with a linked image (.jpg, .png, etc).
2. Export an SVG through File > Export > Export As...
3. Select the Image > Embed option.The resulting SVG does not contain the image. This was an issue introduced with Illustrator 2019, the 2018 version worked fine. Right now I'm embedding the image into the AI file itself as a workaround and then exporting it using the same method since that embeds the image into the SVG, but it would be nice if…

Scale or rotate when using preview does not work
When scaling any object in Illustrator 2019 when using the preview checkbox the scale percentage is immediately applied to the object. So, for instance, if I enter 110% and decide that is not enough, I enter 115%. The object is actually transformed 100% AND 115%! If I press cancel, the two transformations are applied to the object, and I need to click undo twice to get back to the original.
This happens for the rotate, reflect, and shear tools too.

Rotate tool dialogue box won't appear
After selecting the rotate tool, rotate dialogue box won't appear.
a dialogue box will appear only if I double click on the rotate tool but then I am not able to move the anchor point to the center of the object.
6 votesAs per the comment, the way to call the dialog and to define the arbitrary rotation pivot is to Opt/Alt+Click the desired position when the tool is picked.
However, this does not work well sometimes, especially with a pen and a tablet, and you can upvote the problem here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/32613901

Bringing object forward with (Ctrl + ] ) nudges left/right instead of bringing forward.
There is an Illustrator bug I have previously and am currently experiencing that makes an object nudge to the right/left when trying to bring an object forward. I've had this happen on Windows 7 and Windows 10. There is obviously a workaround for this, i.e. View Outlines > Select > Bring object to front / Cut Paste in Front / Paste in Back, Save and Restart Illustrator etc. but it is counterproductive to efficiency.
Background: I'm a 10 year+ agency professional who specializes in UI design, illustration and branding.

Convert to profile
It should be possible to convert a documents colors via the same method as in Photoshop or InDesign via "Convert to profile" rather than "Document color mode". The current way makes it hard to correctly convert correctly and nearly impossible to convert an rgb color space to another rgb color space without using cmyk as intermediary step (huge color shifts and color quality loss).

After unlink vector art from symbol, handles and points never appear again - CC 23.0.2
I see that this bug was supposedly fixed but it's back.
I made a vector shape and dragged it to the symbols palette.
Then I placed the symbol in my artboard, and unlinked the placed art from the symbol.
Now when the shape is selected, no handles or points are ever visible again - I can not select all or any handles or points with the direct selection tool, because they are gone. The shape can not be manipulated.
It does not matter if I cut and paste it, expand it, ungroup it, double click it, or paste it into…

All toolbars gone - Illustrator CC 2019
As soon as I open the Illustrator today, every toolbar was lost. Even if I click the workspace presets, it doesn't do anything. I already returned all the lost tool bars manually but when I opened Ai, they're gone again. Please fix this. Thank you.
