Panels float on top until I click them
Sometimes all panels get "always on top'' state. To change this, you need to mouse click each panel.

Buggy lines from tool windows
When I expand some tool windows to the work area the drop shadow from the window remains when the window is closed. This shadow is persistent when I close Illustrator and it is seen over all programs and desktop. It even persists when I restart explorer.
The only pattern I seem to find is that it only appears with the toolwindows popping up from the "More options" buttons.
Is it possible this is problem with Illustrator itself of should I search elsewhere for a solution? I have never had this problem before with any other software after year and years…

tools & palette windows keep blipping in and out
Every other click, all of my palettes that I have open will blip off, then I have to click somewhere on the document to get them to blip back up again. Every. Other. Click! How can anyone draw with this going on?
Coworkers and I all working on same IMacs with most recent OS Mojave and just updated to 23.0.4 this morning and its still happening. Please fix it.
Far and away, I have been using Illustrator since 2.0, seriously, and it just gets less and less reliable with every update. Very disappointing.

We can't read 2 settings completely, too many characters.
1 option is too short: Rayons d'arrondis, for this one, the tooltip is helpful. Previous version of Ai use: Mettre à l'échelle les ... and it was better for to understand.1 vote -
Info palette moves to monitor Measure Tool is used
The Info palette instantly jumps to the monitor that you use the Measure Tool on. If it's connected to all the other palettes on a secondary monitor, all of them instantly jump to the monitor where you are using the Measure Tool.
Like most people, I have my palettes on a secondary monitor and my main monitor has my document. So every single time I use the Measure Tool, my palettes jump over to the main monitor.
Please fix this so the Info palette stays where I put it when using the Measure Tool.

Missing panels - restarting Illustrator brings them back
On more than one Mac we have an issue in Illustrator 23.0.1 where some of the panels disappear and we can't get them back without quitting Illustrator and reloading it. Resetting the workspace doesn't work and neither does choosing one of the missing panels from the Windows menu.
I did also have this on InDesign CC2018 but that has since been fixed in 2019.

Illustrator opens with all settings lost and menu area unable to grab
OS: Windows 10 Home. Version 1809. Adobe Illustrator 2019 23.0.3 (and earlier versions)
I use Illustrator daily. Approximately every 2 months it launches with a corruption. All of my settings are lost and the menu bar has a strange gradient and is unusable. The only solution I have found is to reinstall and set up from scratch, which is time consuming.

Oversize UI Elements in Ai 2019
I noticed that with the 2019 version of Illustrator (23.0), the entire UI of the software seems to be "supersized." It is as if every pixel is now rendered oversized. Not just in the drawing area, but all the tools, controls, panels, everything.
I've attached a "full screen" screen shot of the 2019 (v. 23.0) welcome screen, and the (reinstalled) 2018 (v. 22.1) welcome screen. Both are maximized on the same physical screen, the display on my MacBook Pro. See how the buttons and other elements are larger in the 2019 version? Like it is somehow zoomed in.
I do…

Rotation too easily happens! Screws up resizing and selecting.
This claims to be answered in an earlier post but it isn't. The only solution is too zoom way in and select or undo the rotation when you notice it. If you have to hit the item in the toolbar each time you make a selection to nullify this it's ridiculous. Totally unprofessional and unproductive. Give us a solution please!! Your programmers have to have realized this by now.

"Left-click the tool to view a list of all the tools in the tool group." Does not work.
"Left-click the tool to view a list of all the tools in the tool group."
Very simple, right? We've all been able to do it forever.
Well, I don't want to be overly unpleasant about this, but, having finally upgraded from Adobe CS5 to Adobe CC, I find that this most basic of actions is unperformable on my computer. It worked in CS5.
It's the newest version of Mojave, 10.14.3, and the newest version of Illustrator, on account of me having just installed it.

Art work not consolidating to the center window
Since updating my illustrator for a week or so ago... when I open art work the arrt work does not open and I am unable to consolidate art windows into the main window. Seems like some sort of bug. The only way I can bring open files is by navigating to window > arrange > float all windows. When I drag the window back into the main panel it disapears. The open screen will not go away

Panels repositioning themselves
Mac OS 10.12.6, Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.2
The colour panel repositions itself from my secondary monitor to my main screen whenever I click on whichever icon (fill or stroke) is in the background to activate it - meaning if I want the fill icon at the front, I click it, then the panel jumps.
This happens every time when swapping from fill to stroke or vice versa.
Please fix this so the panel stays where I've put it!

Bug in entering number values in transform panel
Version: CC 22 (and has happened in previous versions)
OS: Windows 10There is a small bug that happens often when using the transform panel. I use it a lot to move and size objects with precision. Many times, I will want to move an object with the X and Y values. I will type a number, press enter and a completely different number value will automatically appear in the box and move it to that value. For example, I want to move an object to 4.25" in the Y axis and after I press enter, a value of 36.0833"…
75 votesIt is now obvious the issue was not fixed fully. The developers are aware of it now. Let’s hope it will be fixed soon enough.
If you have a solid order of steps which reproduce this behavior, share them in comments, because only some machines are affected. Please help the team to isolate it.

Screen Mode/Application positioning bug
On Windows 10. Toggling the screen mode does produces UI rendering bugs. But also I am entirely unable to get back to a windowed view, or move the window by any means (either dragging or the menu option behind the logo)

Zoomed in Home Screen? Why
The home screen in my Adobe Illustrator is 'zoomed-in' and it's not the same size as other Adobe apps. I've attached a screen shot of Illustrator vs photoshop.
