Stop automatically changing RGB files to grayscale when working with colors
Illustrator takes an RGB file and converts it to grayscale when changing the color of paths. For example- in an RGB file I change a path to red. Illustrator turns the path gray and converts the file to grayscale. I then have to convert the file back to RGB in order for the path to show as red.

Linked image file cannot be deselected
I have an infuriating problem with selected linked files that's been going on for years now.
If a linked file becomes selected (often by dragging within it's area to select other items) it is then impossible to deselect it again. I generally work with the Path Selection Only option on but a link often gets selected anyway and then this problem occurs. It's usually necessary to close the document to get out of it.
Occasionally, deselecting the file in the links panel used to work, but this problem has generally got worse. It sometimes results in editing an item unintentionally.

Font style descriptor repeated in the Font's name
I just created and exported a new font using Glyphs app.
While I was testing it, I realize how the style descriptor "Regular" appeared in the name as well.
Tried to fix this with Glyphs support as long as I discovered it's this way only on Illustrator.
No repetition on Photoshop or other non-Adobe apps.
Problem goes away if I have 2 or more styles, but other single-styled fonts (like Impact) don't have this repetition.

CMYK Colors change by themselves randomly
Watch as I simply keep trying to specify a color in a CMYK document. Simply changing the hex code, then deselecting the element, then double click the fill box to open the color, and sometimes it stays, sometimes it changes. I change it, it changes again. I need this to work 100% I can't have colors randomly changing on me after I specify them. I can also trace similar color problems back since v6 or so - had many color inconsistencies between illustrator versions, this constant color shift battle has to be fixed

Extreme performance issues (AKA the dreaded color wheel) when trying to type in AI 23.0.2.
I get the color wheel with anything text-related. From basic typing to simply deleting a letter or space. Haven't found any way around the issue. I design a ton of infographics and this is seriously adding unnecessary time to my projects.

Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Hi together,
recently I came accross a mapping bug with a stroke ( width 0.2 Pt ) applied to a waving flag shape used in a symbol that was mapped to a 3D model.
All details can be found at Adobe Illustrator User Forum here:
Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke

https://forums.adobe.com/message/10989571#10989571Workarounds like expanding the stroke and working with an extra path element stacked behind the flag shape did not help.
The only workaround that will help is rendering the elements to an image and implement the placed and not linked image…

saving colors to adobe is disabled please contact your IT administrator
Illustrator 23.0.2 (64bit) and Windows 10 Versions 1809 OS Build 17763.379
This has happened numerous times over the past few months.
I try to create a new custom Adobe Color Theme in Illustrator. I am not able to do so and am given the error message:
"saving colors to adobe is disabled please contact your IT administrator"
I have tried restarting the program and signing out and signing back into my Adobe Creative Cloud but the problem remains.
Hope that helps - looking forward to a fix.

Extended properties panel inconsistent with InDesign
Not so much a bug, perhaps a feature request but yet more evidence of the various dev teams going off in their own directions - like the Photoshop's inexplicable rationale for switch the default behaviour of proportional scaling ... ahem, I digress.
Please would you consider implementing the properties panel behaviour from InDesign? By this I am specifically referring to the extension of the properties panel behaviour when selecting the 'more options/fewer options' ellipses.
The InDesign implementation expands the existing sub-panel to include the additional options which are not normally visible.
The Illustrator implementation is less elegant by simply repeating…

Undo in illustrator behaving funny. Please address it.
Undo function in Illustrator 23.0.2 (64-bit) is behaving funny. It is doing one simple undo of a transformation after 2-3 steps. Sometimes the undo totally gets disabled resulting frustration! Please address. This message is sent from the corporate license of Abobe CC of Danfoss (drives section) Global Team.

rtf
Currently cannot import advanced RTF documents with Adobe Illustrator. Common RTF file format options like Tables, Colored Backgrounds, and embedded Images fail to be pulled into Adobe Illustrator. Instead the application omits these things.
Cannot attach an example file.

Weird Transparency Issue
So, I have a very odd quirk happening. When I changed an element from 100% opaque to 70% then copied it and grouped it. Now when I ungroup it the same element that was 70% opaque now thinks it is 100% opaque.
Essentially I can no longer make that element completely opaque anymore. I have to place another instance. This is a bit of a pain when I have resized or altered the placed element.
I am running the latest version of Illustrator as of this post.
I did some searching here and my issue is very similar to this…
