OS X 10.5.3 Illustrator loads up every time, with half my palettes off the screen. I can't access them or bring them back
OS X 10.5.3 Illustrator constantly loads up with half my palettes off the screen. I can't access them or bring them back. This makes Illustrator pretty unsuable

Split into Grid bug
I've stumbled across a glitch in the Split into Grid code which prevents rectangles with dimensions smaller than 5mm from being split. See the video for a demonstration.

Anchor pointer options becomes active while having a drawing tool (rectangle, line etc) active
Draw some shapes. Now try to draw another shape/line starting from one of the anchor point of the previous shape. You can't because the anchor selection tool becomes active and it will take over the action. Thsi wasn't like that.
The alternative is to draw shapes somewhere else and move afterwards the anchors to snap together. But is very annoying !!!!
Please fix it.
Why the old applications work the best and the newer ones are totally messed up? Why break a thing that works?1 vote -
Round corners worked better before
The round corner options when selecting a shape worked a lot better before the latest update (24.1.1). Before when you had hard edges in a shape you pretty much could make round edges on every corner. Now it only appears a few places.

Height and Width indicator at cursor switched when resizing a box.
When I go to resize a box, the height and width indicators at the cursor are switched.
1 voteThe rectangle you are scaling is probably rotated 90 degrees, and how has the width oriented along the Y-axis.
See, rectangles are drawn as live shapes when created in versions after 2014, and they remember their widths and heights independently from the size of their bounding boxes (which can differ a lot if a shape is rotated to an arbitrary angle).
This is somewhat confusing... but your own height does not get smaller if you lay down, isn’t it?
To solve this, you can convert your live rectangle into a path and then immediately convert it back t a rectangle again (Object > Shape > Expand Shape / Convert to Shape) — this will effectively reset the rotation to a 'normal' way.

ruler 45° angle are not a straight line when zoom in, artefacts while moving cursor over it
If you place a ruler(line), rotate it 45° and zoom in, the line is not a straight line. You can see a stair effect.
Moving over it with the cursor, makes artefacts on repaint.
A 45° line from top-left to bottom-right should be always drawn as 1px right and 1px down.
I think the math-lib in the background of illustrator is written with a very very poor quality, so that this in trues is a rounding problem from float to integer.

grouped objects don't snap to corners most of the time
If you have shapes in a group, it's very very hard, to place it with the group corner in the page corner.
You except that it will snap with the top-left corner of the group to the top-left corner of the page (position 0,0), but very often you can't. And when you think AI did it, it's not exactly at 0,0.

Reflect Tool options order is incorrect
When using the Reflect Tool's panel (pressing enter), pressing the "Up" and "Down" keys on the keyboard recognizes the order to be
1. Vertical
2. Angle
3. Horizontalwhich doesn't match the UI.

Don’t ‘smooth’ a straight path when removing points
When removing a point on a straight line, don’t try to make a curve but keep the line straight.

Pen Tool Malfunction
Pen tool will not allow me place an anchor point on certain points. It will let me anchor on the pixel above or below, but will not let me click to start a path anywhere inbetween. It's causing me to cut chunks out of images I'm trying to apply a clipping mask to or leave background slivers in.

selection problems
The problem here is with image objects. It matters how you select them. If you select them the wrong way, you get no selection handles, or scaling handles.
Using just the regular selection tool, if you Shift + drag over one image object to select it, then shift drag over another image object, you get no selection handles for scaling. If you shift drag over both image objects you also get no selection handles.
If you shift and click on one image object, then shift click the other, it works fine.
If you drag a single selection over both image…1 vote -
24.0.3 pencil tool is laggy and glitchy
I updated to 24.0.3 a few days ago and my pencil tool has been really fiddly ever since, with a lot of skipping of the first fraction of a second of a new stroke, and a certain amount of picking up my motions after I lift the stylus up, as well. If I undo and draw the same shape again at about half the speed, I get the shape I expect, but this really isn't sustainable in the long run for a workflow based around lots of fast Pencil tool shapes!
I've reverted to 24.0.1 and it's back to normal.…

Rotate axis freezes illustrator
When trying to rotate an object at a different axis point, the arrow button then freezes and won't allow you to drop the axis point to an another area, leaving illustrator to stop working. Not sure if this is a bug in the recent update.

Width Tool shows no highlighted contour
while using the width tool I notice the absence of an highlighted contour to see the modification of the line that could help to see better the size and proportion applied

Curvature tool has a mind of its own!
Curvature Tool makes curved lines before using the handles...it thinks for itself - never used to be this way. The old way is the best - older versions before 2018 I believe.
Please advise...1 vote -
New 2019 and 2020 illustrator versions include the line width in the object width. This screwsup my scaling. How do I turn this off ?
