There are so many bugs my brain is too fried to write them in. I can't do anything. Every two minutes something goes wrong.
Description says all.
I have an image with a bounding box that's extremely large (no, there's nothing else in the layers panel).
I have tried to export an object and was given the option for two different ones, even though there is only one (nope, no hidden duplicates).
Handles were missing when using direct select tool. Came back randomly for no reason.
And on and on and on.
You need to beta these 'updated' products before you encourage those of us who have paying clients and no time for this **** to download a new version.
I'm always excited for…

"New Document" window doesn't scale on Windows 10
On Windows 10, the "New Document" window (reachable from the "Get Started" window by pressing "Create new...", for example) doesn't scale according to the scaling set in Windows display settings.
Set to 250% (Windows recommendation), the window looks fine.
Set to smaller values, the content doesn't fit in the frame. See attachment (200%).1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Illustrator 2018 not working
Illustrator 2018 is not working. How can I downgrade to 2017?
The whole artboard is flashing everytime I move the mouse. The rulers are flashing. Portions of the vectors are just disappearing. I have rebooted my computer twice. Illustrator 2018 is not working.2 votesRequest to Contact Support ·

Troubleshooting with anchor points
While trying to add a new anchor point to an intersection it adds it in another place, some pixels to the left. Basically, it happens whenever I try to use the pen tool. At the same time looks like whenever I move an object it doesn't go exactly where I want it to. Basically, no overlapping or adding anchor point to an existing vector.

Mouse click sticking
This problem only seems to happen in Illustrator. I have not seen this issue when I use Photoshop.
Clicking with the mouse, does not always work as expected. It is almost like there is a long delay before the release is detected, resulting in a drag operation. Sometimes I see the spinner appear after I click. I have tried a different mouse, same issue. In the video, I am only ever doing a quick click, without moving the mouse.

some objects wont print
I am running illustrator CC 2018 on windows 8.1
When I print certain files certain objects will not print. I have attached an example of the result. When I print black and white it works.

Issue when typing in the font name field to find a font
v. 22.0.0
iMac 2017 on High SierraI use English and Greek keyboards on my Mac.
Very often I start typing in the Fonts field to find a specific font.
If the keyboard is set to Greek when I start typing, I delete anything I have typed, use the keyboard shortcut and start again.The bug is that the shortcut to switch keyboard language doesn't work while I am doing this.
I have to grab the mouse and go on the Mac's menu bar and do it there, then go back in illustrator and start typing again.

Minor Bug (Smart Guides on/off)
When opening/creating a new document,
the View > Smart Guides will be checked on. But they are not actually on. You have to turn them on/off a couple times to actually get them working. At first I thought that they were altered or removed from the last update. Fortunately I figured it out!

Dell Canvas Pen Dysfunction
I've had pretty consistent issues getting the Dell Canvas and Illustrator to play nice with each other, and it's gotten totally out of control with version 2018. Although some pen functionality has improved, there's one bizarre roadblock... there's a good 7 second delay when selecting objects with the selection tool (which can be cut short by moving the mouse). Using my finger directly on the touch screen works fine, but the pen is almost unusable for this reason.

Vector Shapes Arent Sharp on Hp Envy, But are On iMac
Im working from a HP Envy x360 i7 laptop. My vector shapes are very blurred around its edges, but when I load the document on a iMac computer they are sharp. Any idea what the issue could be?
