Hide edges not working
When choosing to hide edges of selected objects, 1 or more objects still have edges visible. I have resorted to back saving my documents as this feature is crucial for layouts.
4 votesAs far as I know, the auto-keying an object in a selection was a bug introduced in one of versions, not caught in time and slipped into the release, later fixed.
Since no object is forced as a key right now, I assume there is no need in having its bold outline to be hidden when Hide Edges is active, since these two factors rarely meet... However, if you have a workflow that requires to have both — I encourage you to file it as a feature request with some examples.

Rotate tool
in Illustrator 24.2 the rotate tool often seems to default back to random numbers now instead of to the last used or something that might make sense (eg 90). eg 93.24

Snap to point not working and please allow files to reopen after crash/restart/reopen
Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, Illustrator 24.2
Selection points no longer seem to appear on hover and snap to point isn't working even if I quit the app and restart.
This is getting kind of ridiculous - trying to work is frustrating if you need to be precise with something.
Also... please please Adobe - why is it almost every other company has managed to give us the option to reopen after quit with the same files open but you still haven't?? Today Creative Cloud told me I had 7 updates available and I thought, ok great, maybe just maybe…

Current bugs that are making it nearly impossible to get work done
As I type this, I'm reinstalling AI for the second time this month. This time without saved prefs. Please, Adobe, make this storied and remarkable piece of software STABLE before you talk about giving us new features. I don't want a new icon, I want not to have to explain to my boss that I didn't get anything done this morning because my industry-standard software didn't work.

Odd black appearance when selecting two paths in succession
Mac OS 10.14.6; Illustrator 24.2
When I select two paths/strokes with the direct selection tool in succession, using the shift key to add the next path, the first path displays as a solid black path and obscures the anchor points. I often need to see those anchor points.2 votes -
Objects deselect on copy or paste (Illustrator 2019)
This is a bug, not an idea.
Sometimes when copying an object or pasting, the copied or pasted object does not remain selected.
This is far less than ideal, especially when using Paste in Front.
Happens in Illustrator 2019 / OSX Catalina

Pasting goes to the back of the layer - and not on top!!!!!
When copying an object and then pasting the new object goes to the back of the stack of objects and not to the front! Please fix and make it go to the top.

Keyboard increment setting bug
Illustrator 24.2.1
Mac OS 14.6 iMac Late 2015 27"Same problem exists as of 24.2.1: the default for Keyboard Increment does not stick properly when units are set to Picas. My existing default of 0p1 (1 point) has changed to 0p0.9996 (0.9996 point), and any attempt to change it to 0p1 while in Picas does not stick. However, if units are Points, it stays correctly at 1pt, but change the units to Picas, the value changes to 0p0.9996.
UPDATE: this happens in other places than the Prefernce for Keyboard Increment, and also happens whether the units are Picas or Points.…

Reveal in Bridge not working
At first, I was trying to 'Reveal in Bridge'. Bridge would open but wouldn't navigate to my link.
So I updated to the latest version of Illustrator CC (I was one version behind) and now the 'Reveal in Bridge' option is greyed out.
How about a nice 'Reveal in Finder/Explorer' option that we'd all prefer?

Zero-height marquee
Please study the GIF attached.
- I want to select an edge of the yellow-beige path
- I grab Direct selection tool and drag a frame over the edge — OK
- I make it faster — still OK
- I make it with my usual speed and get the marquee that has 0 height. It happens with me all the time! I don't fake it, I just automatically try to drag the less tall frame as possible, because sometimes I need to select quite a tiny segment. And when it happens — Illustrator selects nothing.
Well, this is wrong.

Latest version takes a long time to open and save files often 5 minutes or more for a simple file this is not acceptable.

Ghost element sneaks in my groups
Hi!!
I encounter a bug in Illustrator. You will find the description below but also a video that explains a lot better what I am trying to say.
1) OS: Windows
Version: 10.0
System Architecture: x64
Illustrator version: 24.1.22) When I just try to select a group from the active window.
3) I expect to only select element from this group
4) Somehow there is a ghost element that I can see alone when I unselect my group. This ghost stays there and mess up my resizing then..5 votes -

Can't Select behind objects
The following instructions do not work. I need this function...
Select behind objects
In Illustrator, you can select objects that lie underneath other objects using Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac OS). The pointer changes to Select Behind on the first Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac OS). On subsequent usage of Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Mac OS), the selection iterates through the objects directly underneath the pointer position.

"Don't show again" check box
"Don't show again" apparently means show every d*mn time.
Checking the box never works. Why?
And why does the pop-up that wants to give you the Adobe Illustrator tour show up every time I restart the program? I've used this program 20 years. I don't want to take the freakin' tour. Ever.
Fix your sh*tty program and make it as good as it was before CC.
