Toggle tool with CMD will not change back to current tool in 25.2
OS X 10.14 Illustrator 25.2
Using e.g. the pencil tool and switching temporarily to move tool will with pressed CMD key, often results in not changing back to current pencil tool after release of the CMD key.
Works fine with 25.1 but does not work properly with 25.2.
Especially while making hand drawings, where one changes often between pencil - move - eyedropper - this is quite annoying. Could you please fix this?

Opacity Scroll
I used to be able to hover over the opacity % and just scroll with my mouse to actively change the opacity. Since the latest 2021 update, it will change the values shown in the bar, but will not apply them to the object.

Pencil tool fidelity issue when smoothing lines added anchor points NEW AI VERSION
The pencil tool is not responding to the fidelity even if is 100% smooth it will add anchor points making the drawing really wobbly. I noticed this only happens on the new Illustrator2021 version running on Mojave 11.1. Seems to be a common issue currently See link below:

Surface Pen Stylus Pressure paintbrush doesn't work
The stylus pressure for the paintbrush tool in the touch workspace on a Microsoft Surface seems to work occasionally but not always. The Surface Pen is connected (Bluetooth), I can get stylus pressure to work sometimes and not others. Sometimes in the same session! Or if I flip to the regular desktop workspace it'll work occasionally. I cannot figure out what the key ingredient is. It seems very random. I can also get it to recognize pressure if I enable "constrain drawing 45deg" but not if I disable it. How does that make sense? Must be a bug. Please address…

clipboard copy bug
I have iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), the latest OS BigSur 11.2, memory 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, video card Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB. The latest regularly updated version of Illustrator (25.1) and since last year or some I noticed that once in a while there were problems with clipboard memory. Whenever you copy or just select some object on artboard, immediately you get a garbled text box pasted. Very nasty, and after the latest update it has gotten considerably worse. Now I literally cannot simultaneously select several objects without having this garbled block pasted. So I cannot align…

Knife leaving behind graphical artifacts on low opacity
I just updated Illustrator on my Mac OS and I am really unhappy. One of my most used tools, the knife, leaves behind little, uneven and ugly shapes on the edges of the cut objects. This only happens on objects that have a lowered opacity. That ruins my work as I like to cell shade with low opacity blacks. Please fix that.

Right Menu Bar Not appearing
Hello Adobe Crew! This is Eva.
I am here to report that the right menu bar is not appearing. I don't know what the bar is actually called so please excuse any misnaming. I wasn't drawing in fullscreen, and the fact that the right menu bar was in the way kinda annoyed me. So I clicked the 'X' button to put it away. I was done drawing, so I put my laptop away. Next day I want to draw, I open Illustrator, open a new canvas, and the right menu bar doesn't appear. I have tried to restart Illustrator many…

Free Transform Tool (E) breaks duplicate (alt)
Windows 10 64bit.... every version.
AI version... 22, 23, 24 ,25...Actual behaviour: having the Free Transform Tool (E) on the screen disables the function of the 'alt' key (duplicate) when holding and dragging artwork.
Expected behaviour: the alt key function should duplicate artwork art as usual.
It's one of those silent but infuriating bugs that has been around through all the versions for years now.

Importing Brushes is not working.
Trying to import a variety of brushes from all different sources that are CS4 and above and correct AI files.
When I look at preview links it provides the image below. And when I open the files are blank this is consistent with every single brush AI file I"ve tried to open. However, on the Open menu of illustrator they are available to preview. Is there a problem with opening AI brushes in the 2021 update? Ideally I need these brushes to finish work for a client, and need to build on Illustrator rather than Photoshop
