Left Mouse Button Single Click Acts Like Double Click
This only seems to happen in Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 and Adobe Bridge. I'll single click on a file to select it and it will open as if it has been double clicked. This happens intermittently. I've checked all the mouse settings and nothing has changed.

color on screen looks different if cmyk or spot
this is a problem i found in illustrator, indesign and photoshop cc.
i create a gradient, say from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0). (the color is not important)
than i create another gradient, from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0), but spot color.
than i active 'overprint preview'.
on screen, the 2 color look different, and it's wrong.
we have the same color, the same gradient, so it MUST look the same.5 votes -

CMYK values changes
On opening existing file and embedded profile mismatch, selecting "Convert document's colors to the working space" will change K=100% to black defined in all CMYK values.
However opening the file keeping embedded profile and hereafter assign the profile keeps the values intact.5 votes -
"File --> New" or "Ctrl+N" fails to create new file in Illustrator 22.0.1 (64-bit)
After opening Illustrator, I'm only able to open existing files. Trying to create a new file by clicking "File --> New" in the menu, or clicking "Ctrl+N" results in a brief pause, but no new artboard or new file appears.

CC2018 Illustrator Multiply with CMYK colors and Windows 10 Fall Creators update (solid color)
The latest Windows 10 update (Fall Creators) bugs out the Illustrators Multiply option when in CMYK setting. The Multiply option becomes a solid color instead of transparant and reacting with bottom color. When converting to RGB it works as intended and photoshop for example shows correct multiply in CMYK.
current solution: revert back to older version of windows 10.

Saving issue - the error box pops up...
I was using CC 2017 and went to save my file and a box popped up that said
"This printer driver is not supported by Illustrator"
I clicked okay and it let me go back to working. When I went to save again the same thing popped up. I updated to CC 2018 and when the program opened this same message popped up.
It seems to still let me work in the program, but when I go to save the screen goes black and freezes the program for about 20-30 seconds

SVG Export ignores layer id <g> tag for some artboards and layers, but not all of them
When exporting to SVG, some tags are ignored and some are not for the same document and export event.
I tried reproducing the problem and were successful.
Also, I tried fixing the problem and were, in a sense, successful.Fixed it using the assets option on the export panel: it creates 2 layers <g> tags. One of them has the correct naming (stroke) and the other is just generic (Layer2). The compiler put stroke inside layer2. Not good for my automation process and where did layer_2 come from? I did not create it.
Another fix is to save…
5 votesWe have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 23.0.

Inconsistent dot/comma stroke pulldown menus
just noticed something strange in the pulldown menu of the new Properties panel. The values for thickness are marked with a dot for decimals, while all the other panels use a comma.
In the picture you can see the pull down showing values with ".xx pt" while the stroke has a thickness of ",xx pt" (obtained through the Strokes panel)
This causes the 0.5pt selection in the Properties menu to make strokes with a 5 pt thickness, and NOT 0.5 pt.
(When I select the thickness through the regular Strokes panel it says 0,5 pt and ends up with 0,5…5 votes -

Bad precision of the mouse/cursor
I am using Illustrator CC2018 on a MAC OX Sierra.
There is a huge issue with the precision of the cursor. It is super shaky, keeps on appearing/disappearing. It's worst when you hit Alt, cmd, or space. I can't see the tools I am using, for example, the cursor is always black, even if I am using the white cursor ( "A" tool).
This is really annoying, even more when I try to work with my Intuos pen and tablet... It is simply impossible.
Am I the only one experiencing that ?5 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Smart Guides not working in Illustrator CC 2018 even after I turn on snap to pixel
Smart Guides had not worked for me in a long time now. I update illustrator regulary and have snap to pixel turned off.
I have been using illustrator for over 13 years so I know all the tricks and methods and this drives me nuts.
In Sketchapp for example I select the object, hold the alt key and it will show me all the margins and distances around the selected object. That is a time saver.

Charts and Graphs: x-axis number values shift when revising data in a bar graph
When reconfiguring a bar chart with new data (as opposed to creating a new chart), the values at the bottom x-axis will shift on their y-axis, or in other words, their baseline will shift.
