Adding extra points and distorting paths after using Eraser and Scissor Tools
When I use the eraser and scissor tools Illustrator decides to add points to my existing shape. In the image I have attached all lines should be straight or have a slight curve on the corners. I did not add those points and didn't even know they were there until I zoomed out. I just updated Illustrator to its current version. If someone else is having a similar issue or know how to fix it please let me know.

Secondary view moves when editing text
OSX 10.13.5, Illustrator 22.1.
When I have two windows open on the same document and start editing text, the inactive window will recenter its view on wherever my text cursor is.
Reproduction:
- Open a new document
- Draw something off on the side of it
- Zoom in on this thing
- view>new window
- arrange both windows so you can see them at once
- recenter the new window far away from the thing you drew in step 2
- in the window that's not showing the thing you drew in step 2 make a new text box, or create a new point type object

Fonts issue
Illustrator often hangs on large documents. The same document outlined opens fast with no issues. There is something going on with fonts in 23.0.1 - Photoshop also has problems with fonts. I'm on a Windows 10 Pro.

Glyph rendering bug with bitmap OT-SVG fonts
Glyphs that consist of a single-colored bitmap image are not rendered in text frames nor in the Glyphs panel.
When we start using them within a text frame, they also break the rendering of all subsequent characters (they disappear).
To reproduce, enter the character "m" in the attached AI file.

Batch exporting ai>psd does not work in latest Illustrator update.
Batch exporting does not work in latest update. The images appear to process, and as each image is processed, there is a message that a photoshop file is being created. However, the end result files are the same ai files that I began with. Using Mac OS 10.14.

When I export as png, application crashes
Adobe version: 22.1, OS: Windows 10 (the adobe application is on a virtual desktop for security reasons.)
From the last 2 weeks, I have not been able to export to png. This was never an issue until recently. I get a prompt for export for multiple screens. I've tried exporting it in multiple dpi (72, 192, and 300). This also crashes. I've tried choosing a single asset and exporting selection. This also results in a crash.
Please help me find a solution.
Thanks,

Pantone + color book will not consistently "sort by name"
I keep the Pantone+ Solid Coated book open always, but every time I reopen the program it reverts back to "sort by kind" instead of the "sort by name" I keep choosing and is my preference.

Cannot scale item directly after placing...
When I place either a file or library item by dragging onto the artboard, I cannot scale that item (via double-click on scale tool). It does not apply the transformation. I have to repeat the transformation in order to get it to apply. This does not happen however if I place an item through the file menu. See attached video.

Transform Panel in Properties – Nudge using arrow keys problem
In investigating my own question from in the user forum (https://forums.adobe.com/message/10238447#) I discovered that there is a disconnect between the Transform panel that is embedded in the properties panel and the Transform panel that you access via the Window dropdown.
The free floating TRANSFORM panel you access from the Window dropdown works just like it always did... when I put my cursor in the X, Y, W or H and click an up or down arrow key it first rounds to the nearest .125" then increases or decreases .125" at a time (assuming the units are set to…

Recolor artwork window stops working shortly after opening (Illustrator CC2018)
Im using Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 on macOS High Sierra (10.13.2).
I'm trying to recolor my artwork but the window accessed via Edit colors > recolor Artwork freezes shortly after using it.Everything remains responsive except that when I click any part of the window there is no response from Illustrator. I can still move the window around but cannot exit it. The OS doesn't recognize it as a crash (no "not responding" message).
I've been working on the same document in Illustrator CC 2017, recoloring worked fine in then.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for the help…
