Changing leading up and down in Character panel makes it 1 or 1295 pt
When the leading is set to (Auto), using the up/down arrow UI buttons in the character palette to change the leading results in weird leading sizes. Toggling up from Auto using the up arrow in the UI produces a leading of 1 pt. Toggling down from Auto produces a leading of 1295 pts!

Popup dialogs disappear
This issue has been happening to me for some time now, despite updating to the newest version. Any modal dialog window popup decides that it wants to disappear to some netherworld as they pop up for a fraction of a second before falling into oblivion. This issue has caused me to lose lots of time recreating work that would not save due to this bug. This happens almost daily and without any prompting. Please fix this bug!

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

Freeform gradient fill disappears after outline stroke
- Windows 10 Pro version 1809 OS build 17763.475 running Illustrator 23.0.3
- Make a shape. Fill it with a freeform gradient. Add a stroke. Use Object > Path > Outline Stroke.
- The stroke should be converted to a path and the fill should be untouched.
- When the stroke was converted to a path, the freeform gradient fill disappeared.
- The attached file is an animated gif I created to help a user on the forum who encountered the bug. https://forums.adobe.com/message/11077177#11077177

Illustrator 22.0.1 Crash on Startup when Signed In on Windows with a Microsoft account
Adobe Illustrator version 22.0.1 (x32-bit) crashes on startup on any user profile logged in with a Microsoft account.
It works fine on the PC across local user accounts, but as soon as the local account is converted to a profile linked to a Microsoft account, that's it. No more Illustrator.

persistent selection and precision issues...and Adobe doesn't seem to give a f*ck
I used to love Illustrator, now, I HATE it. Since the switch to CC, it's been problematic and buggy and nothing ever seems to get fixed. In fact, the entire program has gotten worse over time and it's obvious that Adobe doesn't give a **** about their customers.
The overall lack of precision and the issues with the selection tools are driving me insane. I have to repeat movements numerous times and/or have to zoom in hundreds or thousands of percent to do complete the simplest of tasks...like scaling or adjusting width/height. Illustrator rotates the shape instead, or randomly switches…

Mutiple profiles & Artboards
Illustrator Version: CC 2019 (23.0.3)
Mac: Mojave (10.14.2) 5k 27" 32gb RamFirstly there are 3 Film & Video profile dropdowns (1. Film & Video, 2. Film and Video, 3. Video and Film). Not sure why.
No matter what general preset I use or artboard size preset I choose I get 2 artboards.
1 artboard is the correct size and the other is basically the complete canvas area.
I am constantly having to delete the 2nd artboard.
Can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Can't open a second illustrator file by double clicking
If I double click on a .ai file to launch illustrator and work on that file immediately, everything works fine. but if, after that, I try to do the same with a second or third .ai file, they won't open. the only way to open multiple files is to first launch illustrator (without double clicking an existing file) and then open the .ai files I want to work on.
it is very annoying and it has been reported many times, but adobe claims to have fixed it with the latest version (23.0.3) which is not true.

Illustrator CC2019 23.0.3 crashes on save ONLY WHEN connected to Internet
Every time I attempt to save an Illustrator file, it freezes and I get the spinning wheel, to the point where I have to force quit. After I force quit and reopen, all my preferences are reset to default.
I've attempted saving on Dropbox, iCloud, my external hard drive, and my local hard drive - it all freezes. The only time it doesn't freeze is when I disconnect from the Internet, and at that point I can save literally anywhere I want.
This happens LITERALLY every single time. I've gotten to a point where whenever I work on Illustrator, I've…

Transform tools will not take negative numbers
This is still a major bug: the transform tools will not take a negative number. I have attached screenshots of entering the negative number and it being converted to a positive number. I really hope this gets fixed soon (but since it has been a bug for years I doubt it will be.)

File menu and dialogue boxes black/invisible
Since the most recent update, Illustrator will periodically loose the ability to display dialogue boxes and drop down menus. Drop down menus show black until I mouse over, and then the items show as I mouse over then. But the dialogue boxes remain invisible. I can "navigate" blindly sometimes and get my document to save without seeing what I'm clicking on (muscle memory, I suppose), but sometimes the whole program just crashes. This has been happening consistently over the past few weeks. 2-3 times a day.
I'm using a Lenovo Ideapad 330 withWindows 10, using the most current release of…

Weird Font punctuation behavior?
Version: 23.0.6
OS: 10.14.6I'm experiencing weird font behavior with the Merriweather typeface in Illustrator. It only happens for this typeface and only in Illustrator.
When I try to type ' ," ' (comma + end quote), the spacing inexplicably condenses. When I switch fonts, the spacing goes back to normal. I don't have any special character or glyph settings to my knowledge.
I tried the same type combo in other tools (Photoshop, XD, Sketch), and it works fine and looks normal. This only happens in Illustrator. Any ideas?

Illustrator CC Crashes In Tablet Mode
Illustrator regularly crashes every couple of hours when my Spectre x360 is in tablet mode, also when using the HP Pen. Is anyone else getting this?
Running Illustrator in power saving mode was suggested as a workaround, but it's still crashing.
System info attached.

colored paper no transparent PNG
If I simulate colored paper for my canvas background I cannot export transparent PNGs anymore. This worked before just fine and I always used this technique to be able to work with white surfaces on a "invisible" colored background. When I link the Ai into Photoshop it ignores the background as it certainly should.
The weirdest part about it is, that the PNG always has white background (custom background is off) in the export window despite my colored paper being white at all! As soon as I deactivate colored paper simulation, the PNG can be exported transparent again.
I'm a…

Trying to package an illustrator file is met with 'could not complete package' message. No further explanation is provided. This is an inconsistent error, it seems more common when the file contains .eps links.

AI displays an error dialog on opening a file having STROKE OFFSET effect applied to a STRAY object
Continue to get this error message even though I've uninstalled/reinstalled every CC product including the loader app. Then there's an additional message, "An error occurred while processing the appearance of an object." It happens when switching out from outline mode, also when copying multiple items and then trying to paste them.
