Magic Wand on fill color/stroke color/stroke weight setting ignores text objects
Magic Wand on fill color/stroke color/stroke weight setting ignores text objects. This is very limiting when attempting to change colors on all text of a certain color. Only if the text is changed to outlines can I get the Magic Wand to selects all instances of text in a certain fill/stroke color/weight This limits the usefulness of Magic Wand...

Reflect tool showing artifacts when flip mirroring a live paint group
A live paint tool when mirroring via Reflect (O) function, seems to always distort parts of the flipped and copied image, sample here. But I've had worse results.

Scale Options greyed out
The Scale Dialog gives a lot of checkboxes. Unfortunately, some are only accesible for Pattern filled objects.
I would like to be able to Scale Strokes only, without scaling the Objects.

The fill of the object is not following the guide lines.
the fill of the object is not following the guide lines. It's seems to be the preview in illustrator because when I paste it in photoshop it displays correctly.

Compound path outside stroke becomes a fill at certain shapes and sizes
I have some outlined text. When I give it a stroke aligned to outside, some of the counters are properly stroked, and some appear filled. If I distort the counters that are filled to be larger, they switch to a stroked appearance.

Radial grid inaccuracy
Not many may use the radial grid, but if you're into special shaping and structures you need them often. Very often. They are a super tool to divide elements, for instance. Sadly, in CC this tool is no longer precise. Not all radial dividers meet the circle around them. This means not all radial dividers are equally long, which is a pain. Attached are screenshots of a portion of the dividers in a same-size radial grid in Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC 2019, and of what happens when I try to construct something in CC, which I have given up…

Main selection tool not working right
The selection tool will select and move objects, but I cannot grab the corner and resize them. I have to use the direct selection tool and select any anchor points I want to move, even to do a simple re-size

Incorrect dimensions even though the entered values are correct
Reads input for width as height and vice versa
Also sometimes it reflects different dimensions than the entered value

Stroke displaying incorrectly and offset path broken
In the first screenshot i show where i have duplicated an outlined letter R and rotated and it is rendering the stroke differently on both.
I have also had issues with using offset instead where the stroke is broken on some letters even though the path is closed, see other screenshot (Q).1 vote -
Modifier tool is lost when scaling with "~" key held down
Fills can be modified without changing geometry if the "~" key is pressed during the operation.
Previous versions (at up to AI CC 2015) allowed the scaling process to be repeated indefinitely until another tool was chosen. In AI CC 2019 the "Scale" tool switches to the Pen tool every time the Mouse is released. This is a huge pain and should be fixed!! Keep the modifier tool active until another tool is selected please.

Blends with 3D objects do not retain rotation values when expanded
When creating blends with 3D objects, Illustrator does a decent job of calculating the rotation within 3D space. However, when the blend is expanded, rotation values are not retained. Trying to edit the effect resets the values to that of the base objects used to create the blend.
