Tool buttons appear as copies in other toolbars
Ai display a copy of the currently selected tool in each custom tool panel a user have. This is distracting, eats up space, and serves no practical purposes.
Yes, I kind of understand the logic behind this... 'what if a user does not have the currently picked tool in any panel now displayed? how can they know what tool is no active?' — but why EVERY panel? Choose one. Or let the user to choose one.
You are allowing to create toolboxes with no fill/selector stroke, without Draw modes even (Normal/Behind/Inside) — something a user can’t get anywhere else if…

You can't import actions by dragging .aia file into Illustrator
We can run a script by drag-n-dropping it into Illustrator.
We can open files like this.
We can’t load an actions set by dropping an .aia file into Ai, even if we snpe the Action panel specifically. We are forced to use the panel’s menu, Load Actions command and the system dialog. Too clunky for the modern times.12 votes -
Free Distort effect doesn’t work properly with Freeform gradients
When Free Distort effect is applied to a path with a freeform gradient fill (we all now know it’s not a real fill), the stops just vanish if they happen to 'fall out' beyond the resulting path — the same way they get dropped when you edit a path with a Direct Selection tool (which can also be treated as a bug, because you are just ditching user data — these color stops should be able to be placed outside of the path!)
Images 6 and 7 show what happens if you try to make the shape larger than the…

Font Height Options Tab order is broken
In Character panel, when you choose an option to display Font Height Options, hitting Tab to focus works wrong.
Click Font Family field to focus it and press Tab to focus the next one, Font Style. It works fine, nut the next press moves the focus to the Font Size field, skipping Font Height Reference field!
So it means we can’t access this field at all using a keyboard.11 votes -
Spellcheck turns off when you apply Drop Shadow or other effects to a text
Spellcheck must work for all text objects once enabled, no matter what appearance it has.
Here, the same line of text with a typo in it has a drop shadow and a custom fill applied. No zigzag lines, and all those who count on Ai to mark they typos are in trouble.

ファイル保存時のオプションダイアログの位置が保持されない Save dialog gets shifted left each time
macOS10.15,7
IlklustratorCC ver 26.5.1ファイル保存時にファイル名を指定した後オプション設定画面が開きますが、このダイアログの位置が保存を繰り返すたびに左に移動します。最終的には半分見切れる状態となり、設定を行う為にダイアログウインドウ自体をマウスで移動させる必要があります。
再現方法
1.ファイルを作成する。
2.「ファイル→保存」でファイル名を任意に指定し、保存ボタンをクリック。
3.従来のオプションダイアログは表示領域の中央に表示されましたが表示位置が左にずれています。
4.1〜3を繰り返すと、最終的には半分見切れる状態まで移動してしまいます。期待する動作
従来のバージョンの様にダイアログの位置が意図に反して動かない。現状の結果
ダイアログが保存するたびに移動し、見切れてしまう。対応策
ダイアログをマウスでドラッグして位置を戻す。80 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.1.1 which is available worldwide now.

Free Distort effect ignores Drop Shadow effect within
If a Drop Shadow effect is above a Free Distort effect in the Appearance panel (which means the shadow gets applied after the distortion) — it works fine.
However, if we first have a shadow and then try to distort the object which casts it (the Free Distort is below the Drop Shadow in Appearance) — the vector geometry gets distorted, but the shadow stays orthogonal and immune to the distortion.
Not a very popular workflow, I know, but still.

Bulleted text became outlined without performing "Create Outlines" action
I found my text with added new bullet function became outlined text and cannot be edited anymore through type after closing and reopening the AI file.
I have to retype the text, thus I am guessing that the bullet function may have triggered this because the rest of my text without bullet in that same file is still editable. Please help rectify. Attached two images of the outcome.

Hello,

I work with these rather heavier files up to a point
the whole PC stalls and freezes, (inclusively desktop and any app), mouse can't be moved, no input can be taken.

Divis/Minus-Zeichen und Leerzeichen am Zeilenanfang ergibt falschen Wortabstand
macOS Monterey 12.5.1 / Adobe Illustrator v26.5
Beginnt eine Textzeile mit einem Divis/Minus/Bindestrich und einem folgenden Leerzeichen/Wortabstand, so beträgt der Abstand zum nächsten darauf folgenden Zeichen nicht wie üblich ein Viertelgeviert, sondern ein Geviert. Die darauf folgenden Wortabstände in der gleichen Textzeile verhalten sich normal. Beginnt man jedoch mit der Eingabe-/Return-Taste eine neue Zeile, so erscheint automatisch auch an diesem Zeilenanfang ein Divis mit anschließendem Geviert-Wortabstand. Dieses „Geister-Divis“ lässt sich nicht separat anwählen.

PNG import broken
Illustrator 25.4.8. (on macOS 10.14.6) can't import PNG files any more. For PNG files that have already been placed in previous versions, Illustrator reports a broken link and doesn't allow to relink. (PNG import worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.)
11 votesIf this issue still happens for you, please share a PNG image that Ai fail to place. You can do this directly in the comment or send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com if you are not allowed to share it publicly.
There is a separate report on failing specifically with 1-bit PNGs you can upvote also, if it’s your case.

Menu windows eventually are inoperable
Usually once per day my file menu windows become inoperable, they are completely white. This has only started happening since the most recent update. The only way out of it is to shut down. It doesn't even let me save. I'm running Windows 11 and the version is 26.4.1.

Copy-Paste from CAD
In Windows (or earlier versions, I don't know where could be the difference) I could simply Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V from a AutoCAD drawing to Illustrator and it would paste the lines perfectly (as a group though).
Now in Mac, it pastes a temp file direction.
How can this be fixed? Thanks!OS: Mac Monterrey 12.5

Measurement labels cannot be deactivated
In "preferences" the option to disable "Measurement labels" does not work: they always remain active. It needs to be fixed because it is very annoying when drawing. Thank you.
