Join tool still drops selection.
It was reported already and reported as fixed, but in 2018 CC the bug is back, Join tool drops selection every time after it was used not allowing consequent connections without reselecting the whole curve every time.

Can't get rid 0.001
In the file, width of the clipping mask should be 550pt but it only stuck in 550.001pt. Want an explanation for this.
I could only create another rectangle in this case. But sometimes happened on some complicated shapes which was quite exhausted.

Filled areas sometimes when drawing lines?
Drawing with touch calligraphic brush, most obvious at 1 pt size, there will be funny filled in blobs along the path. Playing with the points and curves doesn't get rid of it. If the object is resized by 200% or so the "blobs" will go away, but this is not a good fix if the lines need to stay editable.
Has been reproduced using CC 2017 on an HP Spectre 360 with a stylus, AND a Mac (OS 10.12.6 Sierra & CS5) with a Wacom.

Can't expand toolbar icons
Working in 22.0.1 on Mac OS 10.12.6, I can no longer expand a tool to use a hidden alternate, unless I use a keyboard shortcut. When holding down on the mouse button to select, nothing happens.

Smooth Tool | Selection
A small bug, but it has been driving me crazy:
When you have, let's say the Sharper Tool selected, and you click on a path wanting to switch to the Smoothen Tool, when you do that, it unselects the object you chose, and you have to switch back to Selection, Select the object again and switch back one more to the smoothen tool.

Panel Options not displaying on click and hold
In the panel selection for all the tools (natively on the left) as a click and hold on a tool (ie. The rectangle tool) it does not show any options to select anything else such as the ellipse tool. This issue exists on all of the tool buttons as well as trying to selecting font sizes, in the character panel. Another example is the transparency dropdown. The dropdown just doesn't show up when I click it.

Can't reset the bounding box of a square that's been rotated 45 degrees
I can't reset the bounding box of a square that's been rotated 45 degrees. I feel like I should be able to.

Align not working when ALL items in a group are selected
Since updating to CC 2018, align to selection and align to artboard are not working when ALL items in a group are selected.
Align appears to work if ALL BUT ONE item in the group are selected ... but if the final item is selected, it stops working ... nothing happens.
This is not ideal as it means you then have to align the remaining item with the rest of the group manually ... with transform or by eye.
8 votesHi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side and behavior is similar to Illustrator CC 2017 version. If you think behavior is changed in Illustrator CC 2018 kindly share a small video of Illustrator CC 2017 behavior and Illustrator CC 2018 behavior at sharewithai@adobe.com so I can further investigate it.
Please do mention the link of this thread so we can identify you

Pen Tool - Arrowhead
No objects selected, Pen Tool equipped.
Stroke settings: 2 pt, arrowhead #5 selected for end conditionBug: Place first point and the arrowhead on the end condition reverts to blank (no arrowhead)
Workaround: Resellecting the arrowhead after placing the first point returns the line's behavior to what is expected: arrowhead trailing on the last point drawn.

Anchor Points Flat Instead of Sharp Points
When I draw a point with the pen tool, sometimes it gives me a nice sharp point, and other times it flattens it like a bad military haircut. If I wanted it flat I'd select the Bevel Join. Instead it takes me several minutes of fiddling with the anchor point angles to get the points, often giving me a curve that I didn't want, and wasting valuable time. It seems to be even worse than usual since the latest update (22.0.0).

Mac Illustrator CC. Shift click not moving gradient mesh point along path.
I'm making sure to hold shift before left clicking my mouse on the appropriate gradient mesh point as I've always done to move the point along a path. However it moves the whole path rather than just the point like I haven't hit shift at all.

Corners dialogue box deselects points when adjusting radius
When selecting multiple points in a shape and double clicking on a corner widget to bring up the Corners dialogue box, changing the corner type and rounding affects changes all the selected points. However, changing the radius effectively deselects the other points causing only the point associated with the widget that I double-clicked on to be affected.

Troubleshooting with anchor points
While trying to add a new anchor point to an intersection it adds it in another place, some pixels to the left. Basically, it happens whenever I try to use the pen tool. At the same time looks like whenever I move an object it doesn't go exactly where I want it to. Basically, no overlapping or adding anchor point to an existing vector.

Drawing Tablet not working properly after update
Since the 2018 update my drawing tablet that works properly with every other program on my system not requires me to press down abnormally hard to do anything at all in Illustrator. This is killing my work flow and I regret updating.

Dell Canvas Pen Dysfunction
I've had pretty consistent issues getting the Dell Canvas and Illustrator to play nice with each other, and it's gotten totally out of control with version 2018. Although some pen functionality has improved, there's one bizarre roadblock... there's a good 7 second delay when selecting objects with the selection tool (which can be cut short by moving the mouse). Using my finger directly on the touch screen works fine, but the pen is almost unusable for this reason.

Brush Pressure exceeds set size/variation
When drawing with the brush in CC 2018, the brush size of the stroke can exceed the set size and variation. For instance, If I have a brush size of 3 and variation 3, when drawing pressing very hard, the stroke size will go above 3 pts. in CC 2017 the brush stroke was limited to brush size.

Hi All,
As per the investigation done by the engineering team , the issue is not a bug , but an expected scenario.
Variation means that it should go both above and below the set size. So a 3pt stroke with 3pt variation will draw from 0 to 6 pt.
Kindly reach out to us incase you have any queries .
