In the latest version cursor keys are now moving the selected objects/nodes 2 pixels instead of 1
Up until 24.2.1 if I selected an object or node and hit the cursor keys they would move 1 pixel in the direction of the key. Now all of a sudden they move 2. makes trying to align/tweak the position of objects/nodes really difficult and painful
1 voteThis often happens when we open Preferences and accidentally press Up or Down arrow key. The very first field focused in the dialog is Keyboard Increment value, and pressing an arrow makes it either zero (which turns into the smallest allowed value of 0.0001) or 2 (if you had 1).
Open Preferences and change the value back.

Simplify Path flags points incorrectly as smooth
When using Simplify... on a path with several corner points, the resulting simplified path will have several of its corner points flagged as "smooth". As soon as you try to move one of the tangents of the incorrectly flagged corner point, the opposite tangent will snap into a colinear position.

Selecting two objects adds millions of points to second path...
Adobe Illustrator 24.2.1 (and its predecessor) have a horrible feature which I assume is a bug. When selecting two separate paths (or even two separate text objects) using the Selection Tool or Direct Selection Tool, it seemingly adds millions of points to the second path. The points are not really added and don't actually exist, but they LOOK like they do, meaning it adds a thick blue line along it that looks ghastly and is completely off-putting. I can't use those versions at all and have had to stick to 24.1.3 which is the latest version to not do it.…
1 voteThe description matches with the fixed 'auto-keying' issue.

Shape builder not working consistently for the same shape after being moved
I have a perfect tangent (generated by code) that will work in the top part of the attached file. The bottom part will not work for the shape builder tool.
Reflecting the shape or moving it might fix one or both of the bits, and allow them to be "shape built". It might also break the possibility of "shape building".

Lost Feature
Before the last update I used to be able to draw a square or ellipse then type the location I wanted to place it, X or Y. Now that is gone. Now I have to open another box "TRANSFORM" in order to place the shape exactly where I wanted it. Very inconvenient. If I at least had the ability to dock that box at the top it would make life much easier. It has been at the top for as long as I can remember. I often use this like a CAD software when I draw. The last update made…

Pathfinder Merge option creates a Trim and NOT a Merge
I am trying to merge two shapes using the Pathfinder > Merge option. Instead of creating a single merged path, the result is the same as a Trim. See attached before and after images
Both paths have the same fill, outline, and transparency properties. Neither path is part of a Group or Compound shape.
I have also shut down and restarted Illustrator and also my computer and still get the same outcome.
I can work around this with manual work, but this tool should be working.
Thanks for your attention to this issue :)

0.1 degree tilt.
If you draw a square with the Rectangle tool, it is tilted by 0.1 degrees. The same thing happens with the Circle tool.

Stroke widths sizes are appearing thicker
on a previous file, the stroke was at 1pt. When using this file in the new version (24.2), the 1pt stroke now says .0139pt and if you change to a 1pt stroke, it now looks like a 10pt stroke.

Selection tool issue
The selection tool is not showing its feature to select and resize the object or rotate the object. It's just simply moving the selected object and not increasing or decreasing the size.

Different line thickness in two different panels
The line thickness in the line panel is displayed accurately, however in the overall properties panel it is rounded up to a round number. As seen in the attachment, on the left is the line panel, displaying a thickness of 2,5 points of the selected element, whereas on the right the thickness of the exact same element is shown as 3 points thick.

Tools not loading

Tool bar is missing since updating to 24.1.1.3. Can't seem to find a way to bring it back. Resetting preferences doesn't work too.

zoom tool malfunction
HI there,
On my Acer laptop, currently running windows 10, Illustrator had turned off some performance settings last week after a bug fix. when I press certain commands on my keyboard for the selections and zoom tool, the screen zooms in at the maximum and I can no longer zoom back out.
I believe I am currently using Adobe Illustrator version 24.1.3

"Curvature Tool" anchor points randomly deleting themselves
When working with the curvature tool, the anchor points delete themselves. This seems to be happening when I alt+click on one to make a sharp corner, then go to place the next point, the previous point (sometime the two previous) will delete themselves and end the path, as if I'd finished and gone to another tool (for instance the direct select tool) when I have not and am still trying to draw the path with the curvature tool.
Latest Version of Ai CC(just updated yesterday), Windows 10 (also latest update)

CC 22.1 on MAC OS X El Capitan V10.11.6
When using the direct selection tool you cannot see what's been selected - the selection doesn't highlight.
Guides keep disappearing when clicked-on with the selection tool. When you select-all - all the guides disappear.
