Artboard border obstructs topmost and leftmost rows of pixels at 100% zoom
In AI CC 2018 and 2019, on Windows 10 Home 64 bit, the black border of artboards overlaps the top row and left column of pixels in the image when zoomed to 100%. (For 2019, Pixel Preview must be on to properly see this because of https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/35736118-100-view-is-not-100-for-pixels-in-cc2019)
The attached screenshot shows a 16x11px artboard zoomed way in on the left, and at 100% on the right, plus an 8x version I added so it can be seen better. Clearly part of the white outline is obstructed by the the black border of the artboard. Not good!
So, basically, it's…

Fonts not synching across licenses on two laptops
My fonts (not from typekit) aren't synching across the licenses of two laptops - so if I want to work on a file from Dropbox I can't as the fonts are missing on the laptop I didn't create the file on. Defeats the purpose of being able to have AI on two laptops.

No display of illustration when moving objects using greater than 300% scale
- Windows 7 OS, Adobe Illustrator CC
I created and transform a small object
2.1 I zoom to 600% or greater and move the object to the illustration
2.2 I lose the display of the illustration when I move the object to the illustration.My usual results with the previous version of Illustrator CC is I was able to move objects at greater than 600% zoom and still see the Illustration I was trying to move the object to.
My actual result was I loose the Illustration when I move the object to it at or greater than 600% zoom.

Trim View (2019) is rendering properly in GPU view when adding from libraries
Details of your operating system and version of Adobe Illustrator: Windows 10 Insider Build 18312. Illustrator 23.0.1
The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues: When working in Trim View in GPU view, when I add assets from the Libraries panel and move them onto the artboard, my background raster image gets black blocks/rendering issue.

Expanded pucker/bloat effect is a circle or ellipse in SVG
Windows 10, Illustrator 23.0.1
- Create a circle or an equilateral rectangle.
- Apply the Pucker & Bloat effect; either one will do.
- Expand appearance. Check that the effects are now regular paths.
- File > Save As > SVG Result: Either check the saved SVG or view the code. The shape that was a circle will be generated as a circle, the rectangle will be an ellipse.
Expected result: The SVG displays the paths as they appear in Illustrator.

Too many bugs. Laggy!
Too much bugs.. Can't open two files at the same time. Stuck at the Recent files screen. Regret getting this version installed.. Nobody check this in adobe before it goes live for download? We are not testers, we pay to use it in our companies for our clients. Do not release new versions full of bugs pls! I beg you ADOBE!

Crash Reporter has UX issues
Crash Repoert text field does not allow cursor movement by arrow keys or pos1, end,...
Email format validation is wrong, as it does not allow hyphens.
Check email format on exiting the field, not on submit.Just build a good way to report bugs with a good UX.

Gestures Broken
Gestures (e.g. pinch to zoom, two finger panning) don't work in Illustrator for me anymore. They used to work just fine on both my Wacom tablet and laptop's touchpad, but now don't work for either. They work in Photoshop, just not Illustrator, so I'm not sure if it's an option that's been deselected or an actual bug, but I can't find the option if so. I can usually scroll vertically, pinch to zoom sometimes scrolls horizontally instead, and I can't use gestures to actually zoom at all.

Thank you for all the feedback.

Freeform gradient line stops disappearing
The freeform gradient tool is very cool in its flexibility but I have encountered some major bugs with the line option. I can create the line stops but if I change the opacity of a stop from 100% then stops along the line most of the time one or more stops disappear.
Sometimes just clicking or clicking and moving a stop makes stops disappear as well.
It makes the tool unusable. Hopefully, it will become more reliable in a future release.

Image Trace over a white square on color mode with 2 colors crashes Illustrator
This is a bug that happens on all versions of Illustrator, even CC 2019, and regardless of OS.
It's very specific, but here are the steps:
Create a new document. Color Mode doesn't matter.
Draw a square with only a white fill.
Rasterize it. Resolution and color mode doesn't matter.
Run Image Trace on it
In the Image Trace settings, set the Mode to Color and the number of colors set to 2.
Illustrator will crash.
Try it out! The expected result is probably just the same as if the number of colors was set to 3 or anything else…2 votes -
Random selections and wandering selection tool
When selecting and deselecting layers, the software will select and deselect other layers on its own. The selection tool and text tool will wander on its own all over the screen when trying to select or add text.

Illustrator ignores ‘Use Preview Bounds’ setting unless multiple objects are selected
Not much more to say. Single object selected? Bounding box ignores the object's stroke. Multiple objects selected? Bounding box encompasses the stroke.

Workspace window falls off the page
The newest update does not fix the issue I am having with the workspace window falling off the page when I try to drag the bottom right corner to better fit my art/desktop as needed. Does not respond to the position of my mouse, I have to over exaggerate where I want it while I click and drag my mouse.
1 voteKimberly, the image you attached to the report is not related to it, and shows a screenshot of the UV page instead.
So if you are still having this problem, please provide a proper screenshot or maybe a video even, if necessary. Either way, please comment back on this.

What video formats can we upload to bug requests?
I used to be able to upload videos to the bug reports but now no matter what format I seem to choose, I get a note that the format cannot upload. Furthermore, the bug report gets posted anyway without notice so if I try to upload a different format the post is double posted.
Can you please tell us what types of formats are allowed?
Can you change the bug report form so that when an unsupported video format is selected there's a warning or indication before pressing the post idea button OR if an unsupported format is selected and…

Missing workspace when using external monitors
When I use my external Monitors (Dell, only 3 month old) in combination with my newest generation MacBook Pro Illustrator crashes all the time when the monitors are set into standby-mode. Strange to say this issue only appears when the monitors are in standby-mode for more than 10 Seconds!
After 10 seconds waking them up illustrator only shows one of my tool-options. No toolbar, oder canvas. At the moment it's really hard for me to work with this issue because i need to restart illustrator all the time to get rid of it.
in my overview illustrator shows up, but…

Move tool also pans the view
When ever I move an object the view also moves, it is very disconcerting. Never experienced this before using lower versions.
