'Preview' instantly applies effect or operation
If I go to any dialogue box that has a 'preview' option, the effect is applied as soon as the box is checked. If I then click 'cancel' the effect is still applied. Altering the parameters applies the new value to the previously applied value.
For example, I draw and box and open the Scale options. With 'preview' selected, I change the value from 100% to 200% and then to 150%. The box is scaled to 350% in total.
Also, the Recolour Artwork box will only allow me to change a colour once. Again, applying the change instantly even if…

Moving an artboard using the Artboard Tool moves non-overlapping paths and shapes in adjacent artboards
Moving an artboard should only move paths and shapes within the artboard and paths and shapes overlapped from other artboards. If possible, overlapped paths and shapes should only move if a majority is in the selected artboard.

With GPU acceleration on, click on rule when an art-board is under this rule, the art-board becomes active.
No problem if GPU is Off.
- Create a document with 2 art-boards,
- Show rules and switch to art-board rules (Display/Rules/),
Click on a rule when an art-board is under this rule, the art-bord under the rule become the active art-board. This is not the expected behavior.
On the other hand, the behavior is correct when GPU acceleration is off.1 vote -

Multiple DXF conversions overwrite other artboards
On my iMac with OSX Mojave.
If I import 2 dxf files for conversion and leave their tabs available, the next to be imported overwrites the second tab placing the image on top of what is already there and then proceeds to open the 3rd tab with a blank Artboard.
In the attached screenshot, the overplayed image is with red lines, the original image on that tab is in black lines

Rearrange All Artboards ignores locked layers
When I use the command Rearrange All Artboards from the Artboards panel object on locked layers are not moved with the artboard.
To test make a document with two artboards and two layers. Draw anything on Layer 1 for each artboard them copy it exactly to Layer 2, or just duplicate Layer 1. Hide or lock a layer then use Rearrange All Artboards to rearrange the dartboards. The objects on the locked or hidden layers do not move with the artboard.
The two screenshots show before and after using Rearrange All Artboards with one layer locked.

Move objects always moves downwards in y direction, behaves fine in x
Selecting an object and hitting ENTER brings up the 'Move' dialog and, for a while now, negative values moved things up and positive values moved things down the y axis. Fair enough, we all got used to it. As of today, things behave differently and everything is always moved up, unless I adjust the angle in the two entry fields below. Please see attached GIF.

Duplicated artboards containing Export Assets link to the new artwork not the original
As the title says, Assets in the Export panel move from the original artboard and become linked to the new artwork on the duplicated artboards. Subsequently when you remove any artwork from the new artboard, you inadvertantly remove the asset from the Export panel.
Methodology:
Duplicate an artboard (which contains an asset in the export assets panel) via the Alt-drag method. Ensure the move/copy artwork option is enabled. Delete the new copy of the artwork/asset on the new artboard, and the asset is removed from the export panel.Expected behaviour:
Any link to/connection to export assets should be retained by…4 votes -
Most recent changes not showing when opening up the PDF file in updated CC
I have the most updated Adobe Illustrator. When someone is using an older version of CC and I open up the saved PDF file in my updated version, it doesn't show the changes that were made to the PDF file by the someone that has the older version of CC.
I even had them try adjusting the settings in the PDF such as, "smallest file size", "optimize for web", "Illustrator Default", etc..but no luck.

Illustrator Recovery-Mode has Turned all my Images Black
I was in the process of saving my original Illustrator file and it froze then crashed, I re-opened the software and it recovered the document but all my images have turned black.
And it's not a links problem, most images are embedded and I have a separate links folder containing the remaining linked images, as you can see there are no missing links.

PDFs made in CC versions are much larger than ones generated in CS6
In addition to the JPEG issue, there is the problem that vector files are often almost 10x the size as exactly the same file in CS6.
I reported this over a year ago.

Sudden jumps to maximum magnification level when zooming in
Not clear what category this falls into.
Problems new to CC:
When zooming-in incrementally (Command-Spacebar, click), Illustrator frequently "jumps" straight to maximum magnification, forcing me to have to "zoom" back out to the desired magnification or even just to get my bearings and figure out where in the document I am.
This is very disorienting, and frustrating and bad for productivity.

New Document > Bleeds behaving strangely
- In the New Document window, begin by unlinking the bleed settings.
- Set your top bleed to any non-zero value.
- Click the link to re-link the bleed settings. All 4 settings will appear to change automatically, to match the top bleed set in step 2.
- Click OK
Unexpected result: A new document appears with only a top bleed, instead of matching bleeds on all 4 sides.
Tested with the same results on Mac and Windows, both running Illlustrator 23.0.3
EDIT: Sorry, just realised I hadn't specified, this error is in the legacy New Document window, not the new one.

Cambria text & large text cursor
Looks like this was happening in 2017 as well... when using Cambria font, the cursor is 2 or 3 times as large as it should be when editing text. Makes highlighting & editing multiple rows almost impossible. I'd attach a file but others have shown the same thing already and it's simply a text box with Cambria text and a huge cursor. Text size is 11, height set at 13. In the same document but a text box using BonvenoCF, the cursor is the right height.

Cannot double click to open an AI document, or open a smart object from Photoshop
If Illustrator is closed, I can double-click on a file name, or a smart object in photoshop, and the file will open in Illustrator. If Illustrator is open this is not possible. My workaround has been to open the file from within Illustrator (tedious, but doable). However, there is no workaround to open a photoshop smart object. So I literally have to close Illustrator each and every time I want to open and edit a smart object. At first I thought this had to do with having objects on the clipboard, but even after clearing the clipboard this is still…

New Document Delay
When creating FILE > New… the 'New Document' pop-up appears immediately, but it's blank and the content/fields don't display for a good 7-8 seconds later.
I expect this to be visible immediately. I know there was a similar issue in Photoshop CC that you could avoid by using a legacy New Doc preferences.
