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.
latest version of illustrator is taking forever to save or open files often more than 5 minutes for a simple file, this is not a network issue as it does the same even to desktop. this is not acceptable and needs fixing very quickly

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.

Random bug of unselected object frame, from locked layer, visible even though not selected
Only way to remove the frame is to shut the file down and then reopen. Unable to take a screen shot as the frame disappears when taking it.

Pressing Ctrl + Win sends the active object backward
If you have at least 2 objects on the artboard and the top one is selected, pressing Control + the Windows key on Windows 10 sends the active object backward one step. It's a keyboard shortcut that doesn't appear to be editable in Keyboard Shortcuts in case it interferes with that shortcut being used for something else.

Can't see things I just did.
When I move an object or make a change to my file it doesn't show up until I click in the document. Then, the object shows up in the new location. I have to restart the program and it works for a few minutes, then happens again. Really frustrating. I am on a new computer with the current version of Illustrator. It happened in older versions on my older computer as well.

Copy Paste Causes Illustrator to Crash Repeatedly
Illustrator crashes before I can Paste a Copy for SPOT UV in Artboard in two ways.
1. CTRL C causes immediate crash.
2. Select Copy from drop down menu also causes crash.
Performed Windows 10 update few hours before crashing started to occur but unsure if Illustrator was included. Creative Cloud shows I'm up to date but doesn't specify the actual date. So, I cant say for sure if the update is causing the problem.HP Spectre x360 Convertable

CSS Properties: Generated CSS selectors are wrong sometimes
Hi.
OS: Windows 10 x64
Illustrator: 24.1.2 and older versionsSteps:
I have drawn two paths (shapes) on the same layer.
I have given these names:
abc1 and abc11 to each pathWhen I select one of them, the generated css in CSS properties panel is ok, the selector's name is right. The issue happens just when I select both paths at the same time and try to generate the CSS.
The selector name for abc11, is changed wrongly to abc111 (an extra 1 at the end).
Expected result:
.abc1

position : absolute ;
left : 120px;
