Japanese version: Sidebar properties get clipped
The values get clipped out and it's difficult to insert values....
I think this is possibly because of poor localisation for Japanese UI as the Japanese text is larger and thus causes the clipping....
This has happened on many occasions but as a sample I included an image of the settings of corner roundness of an object.
I'm not sure if this happens on any other language UI's as I've only been using the Japanese version.

Blob tool won't change size
When I use the blob tool it won't change size from 1 pt. No matter if I change the size. It is very frustrating to use so I can do college homework.
This issue is on both my Acer laptop with my Huion tablet and on my Surface Pro 3. I reinstalled the app on my laptop and didn't fix the issue.

Hi,
Please press the enter key while using BLOB brush (when Blob Brush Tool is selected) and set the size to 1 pt. in the Blob Brush Tool Options dialog.
Hope this helps.
With Best Regards,

When dragging in a new shape, it does so at an angle

linear gradients switching to radial gradients unexpectedly
Illustrator CC 2019 (both Mac and Win platforms) I teach at the college level. Numerous students have reported that they will create a linear gradient on a shape. When they continue editing other areas and return to that shape, the gradient has changed to radial. The linear gradient shape was not selected and they were not editing a gradient swatch. I cannot replicate this error. Any thoughts?

Using scale tool on justified text results in changing line breaks
Illustrator CC 22.0.0 on Windows 10 x64 Pro
Have a column of Area Text, justified, with carefully defined line breaks so that words are hyphenated at particular places, or not hypenated at all.
When using either the scale tool (shift+click to scale proportionally) or the transform tool, all of the content should scale proportionally and the line breaks should not be changed.
The resulting rescaled text column has very slight changes to the line breaks. While shift+dragging, the text looks correct (just scaled proportionally, without any reflow or stretching), but when releasing the mouse, there is suddenly some text reflow…

saving ai/pdf file is too slow
Saving ai or pdf file takes a lot longer than what it supposed to be. This is newly purcahse mackbook pro that I am using and its performance is great with photoshop and other adobe apps. I even untick 'pdf compatible' setting but it won't change a thing.

Automatically Overprint ON in Gradient
We have disabled Overprint in Gradient stroke for the particular eps. But once we save the eps file and again open the same eps in illustrator, automatically overprint enabled.
Due to this we have received quality issue in Printer. So please let me know how to disable overprint for Gradient Stroke.

Color blend control panel
Trying to change a fill in a preexisting color blend. Control panel only allows shifting the current blend, not adding or changing color. Any time the color pallet is selected, the blend control box disappears. Adobe is adding more features is cool, but taking away the basic features we've had for years is uncool.

Mad Color (Colour)
Colours are altered opening older files. The colour (color) settings are completely wrong—the idropper doesn't select properly. I tried to do a screen grab to get a sample from it but all the colours fade. The screen grab brought into illustrator then screen grabbed again fades all the colours again!!!! This doesn't happen if I screen grab anywhere else.

Print Area doesn't adjust according to Print Driver
Once you print and click on setup, then proceed to set your printer up for custom sizes the print area in the print dialog box doesn't change. In order to get it to match the artboard and what you have inputted into the printers driver, you have to click on setup again and print. This adjusts the print area but this extra step is a bug.

The stroke has a brush applied to it, which can also define cap.
Check it in the Appearance or Brushes panels. You can remove it from both of these panels, or Control, or Properties.

CC library window blanks out after trying to edit files.
Adobe Illustrator CC 23.0.2, WIndows 10 Enterprise version 17032.
Tried right clicking onto a file in a CC library file to 'edit', CC library window closes immediately. Tried to open again from the Windows tab, CC library window is void of any files and folders. It appears blank.
This only happens if I tried to 'edit'. If I place any files directly from CC library it's fine.1 votePlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Entered hue color value changes
Setting a hue to 90 degrees while in sRGB will convert the hue to 88 degrees after you click OK. This same behavior does not occur in Photoshop.
