Scrolling or zooming causes round Corner Widgets to get deselectedSteps to reproduce: 
 1. draw a rectangle
 2. Use the mouse to select ONE of the corners' radius handle (the bullseye handle inside the corner)
 3. Move the mouse wheel to pan (or zoom) a small distance.
 4. The bug happens here! The corner radius handle is no longer selected, and dragging the handle now affects all four corners. This is no good if you want to have only one corner radiused. I only noticed this recently so I think it's a newly introduced problem.Panning or zooming should NOT affect the selections that the user has made. 4 votes

Fonts not being listed in Illustrator when used in a clipping group with transparency effectsAdobe Illustrator CC 24.3. Windows 10 Pro 1909. OS Build 18363.1082 Converting fonts to outlines did not catch the ones used in a clipping group with transparency effects. The effect was an embossed look. When the fonts weren't activated for the file, the embossed look changed as it substituted a font, but Illustrator gave no warning and no fonts were listed in the "Find Fonts" panel. The font used in the emboss effect was listed when viewed in Acrobat but not Illustrator. 1 vote

Font linking not working, basic functionality of Illustrator is impaired1) Image describes it all. Nobody asked for Adobe Fonts, but if you have to do it please pull it off correctly. If it can't synchronize with mainstream operating systems like Windows 10, then what is the point? Professionals that have to use your software have no spare time to write obvious feedback like this. 2) I am working in a team that is dependent on a shared Illustrator asset library. It is not updating consistently and it makes life hard for a lot of people that are trying to do their work. 3) Certainly I am not the first… 1 vote

"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. 4 votes

Selection Tool Bounding Box transform is broken with circles and rectanglesThe most often used transform option - the bounding box of the selection tool - is broken with these shapes. If the shape has stroke, the bounding box will include the stroke. 
 And when I move the transform corner (no matter how tiny amount) the real vector outline jumps to bounding box around it to the stroke's visible edge - thus creating a completely unintentional transform. For example an upscale while I'm actually scaling down.
 ( The free transform tool works perfectly with these shapes too.)13 votes

Illustrator compiling vectors into highly pixelated bitmaps after a saveIn a file with many objects and groups, we've found a problem that keeps destroying our work - after we save a file, and then re open it, for some strange reason random parts of the grouped vectors become flat/rasterized and highly pixelated or bitmapped. What is causing this issue please and is it fixable? It's destroying pieces of work that take a great deal of time. 1 vote

CC Library Character Styles Set Leading to .01ptCharacter Style works fine in Character styles panel, but using Character Styles saved in a CC Library, results in leading being set to .01pt. This is with a style saved from document to library, or created directly in CC library. 4 votes

Typography disappears when the text is added on a curved pathThis was said to have been fixed in 24.0, but I just updated to 24.3 and had this issue. Any time I use the type on path tool, it appears as though I'm typing (layer name changes) but the text is completely invisible no matter the font size or color and I am unable to highlight the text. 1 vote

No x- and y-values for rectangles in the top menu barThe last Update 24.2 installed. When drawing a rectangle there are no more x- and y-values shown in the top menu bar!!! So they can’t be edited. Only the width and height is shown. How miserable. 1 voteI happens when the width of the screen is not wide enough to fit all the elements the Control panel can display. Some blocks, especially from the Transform section, get omitted. To workaround this without purchasing a larger display, one can open the Control panel's flyout menu, untick some options, like Align, and check if the section needed returns. If yes — then please vote here for a feature that would allow us to change the order of blocks in Control: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40231882-allow-us-to-chose-order-of-controls-in-control-pan

Free Transform tool and bounding box don't work with guidesSometimes you want to scale a guide by dragging. 
 But bounding box doesn't show up when guide is selected and Free Transform tool stays in forever 'turn' mode.Don't you say me it is as intended. Just don't. 10 votes

Problem deleting Spot ColorWhen I attempt to delete Pantone swatch for the swatch that's being used in my design, it should give us the warning to replace color just like InDesign. Instead, it just converts the color to CMYK without you even knowing which is a problem when you're trying to make sure you're only working with limited spot colors in the document. I remember getting warnings before like InDesign does... is this something new in the application? Could you please fix this issue? 2 votes

Minor issue - Old date on splash screen (2019 instead of 2020)I launched version 24.2.3 and noticed that it says © 1987-2019 instead of © 1987-2020 on the splash screen. Other up-to-date Adobe apps says 2020. 2 votes
