Alt+tap with Rotate or Reflect tool + Wacom tablet makes Illustrator unresponsive
Trying to open the dialog box for precise Rotate or Reflect settings by Alt+tapping with a stylus on a Wacom tablet makes Illustrator unresponsive for an undetermined period of time.
The dialog box may eventually open (after 30-90 seconds), but in the meantime, Illustrator cannot be closed, and none of the menus, tools and commands work. The bug only occurs with a stylus, Alt+clicking with a mouse never produces this issue.
The bug was reported on Adobe Support Community already in 2019 but has not been fixed even in the most recent Illustrator release. It seems to be a problem…

Eyedropper won't pick up arrowheads in 25.3.1
Using Illustrator 25.3.1 with Mac OS 11.4, the eyedropper won't pick up the arrowhead style from a stroke to replicate onto a new stroke. This has always worked before.

lines aren't smooth with pencil tool
Back in version 25.0 the paths drawn with the second setting were smooth. Since version 25.1 the paths aren't smooth. it creates unnecessary misplaced points.
5 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2.3 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Paintbrush tool stops working while drawing - 100% GPU usage
Using the paintbrush tool, when drawing a continous shape/line, it stops drawing after a little while, even if I keep the pen pressed, or mouse button (same result).
If I use the GPU rendering/viewing mode, the GPU usage keep climbing if I keep drawing, until it reaches 100% GPU usage and stops working. And that is on a RTX 3090. On CPU view mode, it stops way sooner/faster, after 3 seconds almost. As soon as I let go and stop drawing, it completes the shape, but only up until the point that it stopped drawing.
Video attached with the problem.

角丸長方形ツールの高さ変更
・Mac OS10.15.7 Catalina
・Illustrator25.2.3角丸長方形ツールで描画後、選択ツールで高さを変更できない。
幅の変更や回転は可能。
プロパティから高さ（H）の入力での変更もできるが、選択ツールでのダイレクトなサイズ変更（高さ）ができない。1 voteIllustrator 製品フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。
ご報告いただいた「選択ツールで高さを変更できない」という現象ですが、最新バージョン「Illustrator 2021 (ver.25.4.1)」の Mac & Win OS ともに正しく動作しています。
選択ツールでバウンディングボックスの上辺、または下辺のハンドルをドラッグしての高さ変更の操作でよろしいでしょうか？
アプリの再起動、またマシンの再起動をしても再現するようでしたら、お手数をおかけいたしますが、カスタマーサポートにお問い合わせください。
以上、よろしくお願いいたします。

Previous tool continues after selecting new tool
Over the past few weeks I've noticed that when I switch tools sometimes the characteristics of the previous tool continue rather than it switching to the new tool (but it shows the new tool selected in the Toolbar.
So, for example, if I'm using the Selection Tool and then click on the Direct Selection Tool it shows in the Toolbar that I have the Direct Selection Tool activated and the cursor is the Direct Selection Tool one but the tool behaves like the Selection Tool (i.e. I can't select individual points).
Saving the file seems to fix the issue and…

Illustrator 25.4.1 "handcuffs" scaling and rotation effects with Wacom
When using a Wacom Intuous Pro (PTH-660) with Illustrator: using the scale or rotate tool on a shape, I'm unable to commit the change to the object after I lift the pen off the tablet. Even pressing "v" or "esc" several times, or even switching programs and switching back to Illustrator, when the pen comes in range of the table surface again, it is still changing the scale or rotation of the object.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Precision 7530.

The Mesh Tool and Curvature is lagging after I updated the Adobe Illustrator to the latest version.
The handles for the mesh are difficult to adjust and move. The same thing also happened with the curvature tool when I updated my AI to the 2021 latest version.

Expand and Expand Appearance Greyed out since update
My 'Expand" And "Expand Appearance" has been greyed out ever since the recent updates. Its like this with every file of mine. They are NOT on locked artboards, they are all expandable files and I tried changing color settings and importing different file types, to see if that would fix it but nothing changed, everything is still greyed out.

Illustrator 25.3 Crop
Export File creates uncontrolled artboards and more then one - usually only one is selectable the other is not. Did this with jpg, pngs. Save as pdf works fine but export versions do not.
One artboard frame is correct but the second unselectable version is smaller but taller and localized around one object in the image.
They both carry over with the file to other programs.
Files opened in photoshop display properly but png has extra clear space.1 vote -
My brush and pencil settings wont stay selected
Whenever I select the options for my pencil or brush tool, e.g. uniform + basic, the menu changes to a default unwanted option, or gets stuck on one previously used. My paintbrush or blob brush tool does the same thing but goes further. It does not show the path or shape I'm drawing until after I've released the left click key or pen pressure.

Rotation is too sensitive. I cannot use transform options.
Rotation was too insensitive in the previous version.
Rotation is too sensitive in this version. It is prioritizing it over everything else too much.7 votes -
Objects rotating when trying to transform or move
When manipulating shapes, the cursor will try and rotate the object. I will try and grab a handle to transform the shape and the object rotates. I have to zoom into the object in order to stop it from rotating despite the cursor showing the correct tool. For example if I want to make a simple box longer, I'll put my cursor over the middle handle on the left side of the box. My cursor will change from an arrow to the one with arrows facing away from each other. The moment I press my mouse the object will immediately…

Visible brush stroke using touchscreen desktop (MS Surface Studio)
Whilst drawing directly by hand onto the screen of my Microsoft Surface Studio 2, occasionally Illustrator decides it isn't going to make the path I'm drawing visible. Use the mouse and the brush stroke is visible.
I'm unsure if this issue is exclusive to this type of desktop (rare, I know), or if tablet / Wacom pad users experience this too? Either way, not knowing where you've drawn doesn't make life easy!

PEN TOOL IS BROKEN
Option/alt+click on anchor doesn't work. It used to make anchor points to curve OR corner. It even says "Pen: Make Corner" at the bottom of the window in the "current tool" field, but actually it just creates NEW PATH.
And the Anchor point tool icon changes to "Pen tool - start path" icon on hover.So you've actually managed to broke the most essential feature of Illustrator - which is to draw and modify vectors. Awesome job!
It would be actually rather funny if it wasn't COSTING ME MONEY THE WHOLE TIME FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIX IT!

Shape tool bug
I have opened Illustrator today and a troubleshooting message appears where the shape tool is not working. Illustrator has since opened, and the shape tool is no longer there on the toolbar.
Please can you assist and fix ASAP?

Smooth Blend Tool Broken
On the Mac OS, when blending between two shapes using the smooth blend tool, 7/10 times the blend will not be smooth but have one step between the shapes. I can instead create lots of steps as a work-around, but the designated tool does not work. If the shapes are separated far enough, more (but few) steps will appear.
In the images below, you will see an attempted blend between a dark green gradient square, and a light green square. I am using the smooth blend tool.
