Releasing Layer Mask issues, Window placement
Sorry—forgot to give you my system last time: Mac OS 10.12.6, AI 23.0.1
1) When I create a layer mask that includes clipping masks within, there are problems releasing the layer mask.
a) using the Layers panel Make/Release Button releases some of the clipping masks within. (see attached movie)
b) Using the Properties panel button and/or the Object> Mask> release will appear to do nothing, but is a redraw issue requiring View> Outline/View>Preview toggle.2) when I startup Illustrator without the application frame it often misplaces my document so it's tucked behind the tools panel —sometime it is where it…

SVG Export issue
When exporting an svg, the file is "empty". There're only some bytes, but it shows in the browser, when you do some drag and drop. So, now comes the problem, if I sending the file to a workmate he get only a "Not working img". I must export the file a few times, with the same options to get a working svg.
And sometimes the export delete the main file (.ai), I don't know why.

Type on Path Issue
After I apply type on a path (circle) the circle isn't a circle anymore.
Circle without type on a path: Same height, Same width.
Circle with type on a path: Different height, Different width.I never had that issue before, after i apply text on a path (circle) the circle has still the same height & width values, why not now?
Please update adobe illustrator in January 2019

Text edits have no undo, do not trigger file as updated
When editing a block of text. Back delete key does not work and forward delete key deletes from start of block instead of cursor/insertion point. Text has to be highlighted to be deleted. Undo for deleted text is unavailable. Document does not indicate any changes and can be closed without a save dialog and thus losing edits.

SVG Exports Incorrectly - messes up art work
I have drawn a simple oval that exports correctly.
I then made 20 copies, and it exports as SVG correctly.
I then made 20 more copies (so I have 40 of these oval shapes) in two columns side-by-side. The first column exports correctly, the second column some of the ovals are longer, some are shorter and the horizonal position shifts back and forth.Used the Export Selection command. Have tried all different SVG parameters, have tried switching the columns, nothing has worked.

Adobe Color Themes pop up is unnecessary and obstructive.
When using the Adobe Color Themes panel, there's a pop up that says "Click to set active color" when you hover over color swatches. You can't click on the color beneath the pop up without first moving the mouse off of the pop up. It makes using the color themes panel slow and obnoxious. Please either move the location of the pop up off of the swatches one is trying to access, or remove it altogether (or give us an option to disable it)
Turning off "Show Tool Tips" in preferences doesn't fix the issue.
It is also an issue…

Command-s save reverts back a few steps
Sometimes saving the document (command-s) causes it to revert a few steps back. WHAT? What is going on with all this weirdness!

"Create Outlines" is causing text to move from its original position !
When outlining text in artwork to send to the printer, the text moves from its original position by a fraction.
This is catastrophic for finished art purposes.
Dealing with misaligned print can be hard enough without the file being off from the beginning.MacOS Sierra

Scrolling mouse wheel over Stroke Weight Bug
To re create the bug:
1) Draw a path with the default path tool.
2) Highlight the path by clicking and dragging across it.
3) Open the Stroke Panel
4) Using a mouse that has a scroll wheel (in my case a $20 Logitech mouse), scroll up or down while the mouse pointer is hovering over the number for the stroke weight.
5) The weight does not change until you go 2 full weights passed the original weight.Sometimes the weight will change but what often happens is that the weight must go at least 2 weights before 1 weight…

Artwork won't display on artboard, but in the layers panel, navigator etc.
AI 23.0.1 / MacOS 10.14.2
When an additional file is opened it sometimes shows the content of a previously opened file on the artboard.
In the layers panel or the navigator the correct content is displayed.
Also upon undocking the tab the correct content is displayed.
Only workaround I found so far is restarting AI.2 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Allow a custom swatch palette to be the AI default without using "Legacy File>New"
Unless I've missed something, it is not possible to use a custom swatch palette as the AI default for all new documents without using the "Use Legacy File>New" feature. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get my custom palette to be the default. Using the standard (non-Legacy) new document feature, I always have to navigate down through the menu to choose my custom swatches, and then it only applies to that one new document. About 99% of what I do is spot color artwork for silkscreen printing, so the AI default CMYK swatch palette is useless to me.

Cannot change the blending mode when the gradient tool is selected (windows 10, ai 23.0.1)
Is this a bug or a feature? If this is a feature then it is very uncomfortable.
In version 22 it was possible to change the blending mode with the gradient tool selected.2 votes -
slow choppy zoom on PC
whether I use the zoom tool or key combo/scroll, zoom in or out takes between about a full second to multiple seconds. makes it very hard to control. this seems to happen regardless of the document complexity. Photoshop and XD zoom well.
this PC got a fresh Windows 10 install a month ago, then Illustrator was installed for the first time. this has been an issue since then.
I've tried GPU Performance preference on and off.
I've uninstalled, cleaned, re-installed Illustrator a few times since then.
I've reset preferences.Illustrator 23.0.1
