aligning rectangle control bar
Bug report_ Illustrator 2020. Only downloaded a few days ago.
If I create a rectangle using the control bar it won't let me align it using the alignment tools. If I create it by hand and then adjust the measurements to what I wanted then the alignment tools work.

Height and Width indicator at cursor switched when resizing a box.
When I go to resize a box, the height and width indicators at the cursor are switched.
1 voteThe rectangle you are scaling is probably rotated 90 degrees, and how has the width oriented along the Y-axis.
See, rectangles are drawn as live shapes when created in versions after 2014, and they remember their widths and heights independently from the size of their bounding boxes (which can differ a lot if a shape is rotated to an arbitrary angle).
This is somewhat confusing... but your own height does not get smaller if you lay down, isn’t it?
To solve this, you can convert your live rectangle into a path and then immediately convert it back t a rectangle again (Object > Shape > Expand Shape / Convert to Shape) — this will effectively reset the rotation to a 'normal' way.

Crashes constantly
Illustrator crashes constantly. Typically, when pasting anything (even a single character) into an existing AI file. We have updated all associated drivers, upgraded video card, re-imaged the OS. Nothing is making this better. After a few strokes, Illustrator will gray out and report "Not Responding."

Duplicate Graphic Styles
Multipage document. Many objects with a specific style, rectangle, 20% gray fill, no line. All assigned graphic style, eg, Box Style. I want to move these objects to a new artboard, so it's select, Copy, Paste In Place, Move specific distance (because I've laid out my art boards precisely). Problem is that I then get Box Style 1, or Box Style 2, and so on.
If I option drag this does not happen. This makes NO SENSE.
Styles are styles. Why would Illustrator be duplicating styles. Makes NO SENSE. Option drag is NOT an efficient way for my workflow. Maybe…

File > Save not saving in the newest version format
Since vr 24.1.1, "File > Save" automatically saves legacy versions of illustrator as the same legacy version. This means any files made pre this version all come up with this and I have to use "File > Save As" every time.
Previously any file I worked with, I could use "File > Save" and it would save as the newest version of AI (maybe with the exception of very older file types like CS ones). Not sure if there's an option I can change to switch it back? As this is slowing my work flow.

Illustrator 24.1 metric precision broken
So there was a new release Illustrator 24.1 the other day which I installed. Unfortunately, it looks like the engineers messed up and semi-broke the conversion routines from inches or whatever measurement is used internally to the metric units displayed to me as the user.
What used to be displayed as nice whole numbers or up to a maximum of three decimals, is now never an even number and always displayed with four decimals. Just to take an example, a dimension clearly intended to be precisely 10 mm is now displayed as say 9.9998 mm or 10.0003 mm.
This is…

Home page + document bug
[BUG] When I return to the "Home" window, the GUI shows in a smaller area on the screen. If I proceed to open any document or create a new one, the window is inoperable and no UI shows up. I then have to restart AI to restore functionality.

Editing text with warp doesn't update
Editing text that has a Warp effect applied does not update on screen or even in a saved PDF until the warp effect is turned off then on again in the Appearance panel. See the attachments where I have changed the bolded word 'egg' to a roman type weight. In the second warped screenshot it is still bold. This bug has only started since the very latest general release of Illustrator: v24.1. Occurs in MacOS 10.15.3 and in MacOS 10.14.6

Discard white overprint is disabled when background save is enabled
- version 24.x
- Windows and macOS
- background save enabled
At this time, the operation related to discarding the white overprint is not performed and the settings is invalidated.
The behavior itself is the same as another bug, but it is not completely fixed 24.1.x.

A4 Size Error
Since the latest update, the size of a new document is showing more digits after the comma, which results in the wrong size of the A4 format. Instead of 210 x 297 mm it shows 210.0016 x 297.0001 mm. Please fix this.

3D Extrude & Bevel Not Recognizing holes
Updated Ai CC today (6Mar'20) and getting some weird holes closing when trying to render. My frustration has led me to uncover that the holes (created using shape maker, but also tried pathfinder and used compound paths) only break once the outermost edges are altered. Find attached screen recording.

Point Transformation after Undo
In Illustrator version 2.1 (macOS Catalina 10.15.3) as well as whatever the most previous version of Illustrator was I have been experience an issue where after undoing a point movement of a shape with the direct selection point, further transformations to the point can nor be made. If I attempt to move the point (or any points on the shape in question) they snap back to their previous positions. The only solution I have found is to cut the object and baste it again, where after further point transformations will work. This is a tedious work around in work with…
