Pen tool located in type tools
Took me a while to find but found the pen tool hanging out with the type tools. Please stop fixing things that are not broken. I remember before CC things works pretty well. Now every time there's an update, some other bugs pop up that weren't there before. Is this just a way for engineer job security? Well whatever it is, its becoming a major pain.

There was an issue in 23.0 causing tools to shift between groups. This has been fixed in latest update (23.0.2). After update, please reset the Basic and Advanced toolbars by opening the tool drawer (3 dots at bottom of the tool bar), then using ‘Reset’ from the fly-out menu (on top right).
Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this issue.
With Best Regards,

Illustrator loses focus after editing in group
When a group is double clicked to edit inside (isolation mode), on leaving isolation mode the Illustrator application loses focus and clicking on any tool has no effect. To regain focus the icon in the Windows Taskbar has to be clicked.

Brush Cursor - Art Pen Rotation
I'll have someone describe the issue from 2010. 9 years later this issue still persists. I am having the exact same issue but instead of it not working in Photoshop (which is works perfectly fine in) I am having this issue in Illustrator.
"Hi !
Today I downloaded the trial of PS CS5.
I think its a really great step for digital painting and I love
the new bristle and mixer brushes-But one thing really disappointed me. I´m using a Wacom Art Pen to control
the angle of the brushes by the rotation of the pen.

path guides centre edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler
Path guides centre edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler in CC, in previous versions you could quickly line up a guide to the centre of a box now you have to zoom out to see the centre. Another feature that worked great in previous versions now lost.

Tools not snapping or showing blue line path or anchor points
The Pen and Direct Tool are not snapping or showing the blue line path when drawing with the tools (Pen tool, Curvature tool, Direct Selection Tool) I have googled forums to see what the issue and it seems to be something that happens when the software is updated every so often or something like that, and shortly before I encountered this issue about 10 minutes ago my software got an update... please fix this :(

Smart Guides - Center point not usable
When Smart Guides are enabled, the Center point of an object is shown, when hovered over the edges of the object, but it dissappears (and doesn't snap) when trying to hover over the Center point itself.

Freeform gradient line stops disappearing
The freeform gradient tool is very cool in its flexibility but I have encountered some major bugs with the line option. I can create the line stops but if I change the opacity of a stop from 100% then stops along the line most of the time one or more stops disappear.
Sometimes just clicking or clicking and moving a stop makes stops disappear as well.
It makes the tool unusable. Hopefully, it will become more reliable in a future release.

Dragging multiple groups by text anchor deselects other groups.
See attached video. With multiple groups selected, clicking and dragging by one of the group's text anchor deselects all other groups. Only the group with the selected text gets moved.
