Character Information in Properties Panel not appearing
When I click on any text the Character information in the properties panel immediately disappears. The character information is only visible before I click with the Text tool. This is making it REALLY difficult to work with text.

Illustrator 24.0.1 ignoring me when I enter a new dimension for my closed path with stroke
Hi all, I'm cross-posting here from the Adobe Community forums as suggested by someone who was able to reproduce this issue. I'm running Illustrator 24.0.1 on my 2015 Macbook Pro with MacOS Catalina 10.15.1. I actually just updated to Illustrator 24.0.1 to see if this problem would go away, but it still persists.
I'm currently trying to increase the height dimension of my closed path in the Transform panel by +0.0001 inch, or .03 points (trying to transform the height from 23.157 pt to 23.16 pt, to match two other closed paths). However, whenever I click the object, input the…

Cannot press TAB to select character weight
On the Properties panel, pressing the TAB key when you are in the fonts dropdown jumps directly to the font size, NOT the font weight as it should.
In the Character panel the behaviour is correct.

Properties panel auto select field contents
Illustrator v24.0
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6Since the Properties panel was introduced in Illustrator, it won't allow selecting an item, then click once on a field name, such as W for the width field, and automatically select the contents of the field so you can then just enter a new value or use the arrow keys to change the value.
It works fine in the Control bar and other panels, just not in Properties.
It works in the Properties panels of InDesign and Photoshop, as well.
Was hoping it would be fixed in Illustrator 2020, but still not.4 votesSeems to be fixed in recent version of Illustrator.
Clicking a caption of a filed in Properties (if the caption exists for a value) does select the whole value, like it does in other panels.
Please verify and reply back.

Properties Panel won't stay open
When I have the navigator and the properties panel on the right side on top of each other, the properties panel will close if I expand the navigator and vice versa. This has not been a problem in other versions.

Rotation resets to 0
If you rotate groups the properties panel always resets the rotation value back to 0 meaning I have to remember the value I used if I want to put it back or if I want other shapes to match the rotation at a later time.

X and Y in values in the transform don’t reflect the position of 2x identical boxes, -they are in obviously different position on alert boar
X and Y in values in the transform don’t reflect the position of 2x identical boxes, -they are in obviously different position on the art board...the reading is incorrect. It’s up to me to manually manage the alignment. I tried using ALIGN, The align option is useless. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR AGES. I always trusted the the NUMBERS, BUT NOT LATELY. The X and Y readings in transform are NOT TO BE TRUSTED. Hence great stress. Please FIX the BUG. LOST MY FAITH ..., I wish I could go Back to OLD BUT STABE CS6...CS6, CS6*. …

Only way to get it to work is from Object > imagetrace

Renaming Character Styles Does Not Trigger Content Change
Renaming a character style does not trigger content change.
Thus, the asterisk does not appear above the file name (indicating content change), File/Save or CMD/CTRL-S are ineffective, and if one closes and re-opens the file the old names are still there.
Have not checked Paragraph styles, or styles in other Adobe apps, but assume this bug would present there as well.

Extended properties panel inconsistent with InDesign
Not so much a bug, perhaps a feature request but yet more evidence of the various dev teams going off in their own directions - like the Photoshop's inexplicable rationale for switch the default behaviour of proportional scaling ... ahem, I digress.
Please would you consider implementing the properties panel behaviour from InDesign? By this I am specifically referring to the extension of the properties panel behaviour when selecting the 'more options/fewer options' ellipses.
The InDesign implementation expands the existing sub-panel to include the additional options which are not normally visible.
The Illustrator implementation is less elegant by simply repeating…

Opacity Issues when Selecting Whole Layer
In the Layers panel, when you click the Select All circle to the side of the layer, all of the objects on that layer become selected. If you then go to the Properties panel and adjust the opacity of those objects, they appear to become more transparent yet you cannot see through them. ALSO, once you go back to selecting individual objects, or even manually selecting multiple objects, the opacity changes are not indicated in the Properties panel. Rather, they say 100%, even if you've adjusted the opacity by selecting all in the layers panel. I've attached a video for…

Object size change?
Now, the transformation panel reflects the size of a shape plus the thickness of the outline if there is one.
For example, a rectangle of 100x100 with an outline (in the middle) of 1 displays a size of 101x101, 102x102 if the outline is external and 100x100 if the outline is internal.
It's a very confusing change! The previous behavior was much more talkative.
I understand that this reflects the actual size, including the outline thickness, but this should be an option. I did not see myself 3 decimal digits when I want a rectangle of 100x100! :)6 votesIf this happens for you, please check the 'Use Preview Bounds' in Preferences > General. When it’s enabled, Ai will treat strokes and effects as a part of the object’s bounds.

Properties Panel and Transform Panel measurements should be exactly the same not rounded in the Properties Panel
Properties Panel and Transform Panel measurements should be exactly the same not rounded in the Properties Panel.
Properties Panel rounds measurements to .000 decimal places but the transform panel allows .0000 four decimal places. This is inconsistent and is confusing to my team trying to double check our files for accuracy.
