Blends with 3D objects do not retain rotation values when expanded
When creating blends with 3D objects, Illustrator does a decent job of calculating the rotation within 3D space. However, when the blend is expanded, rotation values are not retained. Trying to edit the effect resets the values to that of the base objects used to create the blend.

Too small to use?
When scaling down a complex drawing especially one created by image trace it often says cannot complete the operation because it would make some objects too small to use. So how can i scale my group? Can you just disappear those objects? If they are too small to use they must be too small to see so make them go away. Or it could automatically select them so you have the option to delete them. It seems silly that i can't make something the size i need because a part of it is too small to use. I'm on mac…

snap
Snap to point is always pixels off, so "joining" doesn't work. Pen tool also won't connect to an anchor and will also be pixels off. Snap to point is turned on. Can't join points of lines and shapes to one another to make complete shape.

Anchor Points Malfunctioning
I regret to report that, after updating to Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and upgrading my OS Mojave, the anchor points have become rather fickle, especially with the Direct Selection tool. The shape will look the same once drawn with the Pen Tool, and the anchor points will still be there, but they are invisible. They can still be tampered with, but after releasing the mouse they will disappear. The same issue applies to the rectangular grid tool. Anchor points can be edited and seen with the curvature tool; that is about the only way to do so without the anchor…

Can't resize text, objects, or images anymore using the selection tool
When I click on any object, text, or image and try to resize it just by clicking and dragging the anchor points, it doesn't resize anymore like it used to. It just moves the object. This is on a Mac in Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.1

Tools not working.
Some tools not working. When I click on the text tool I get something that looks like a pencil with a circle with a slash through it underneath the pencil-brush-pen-line tools. I deleted preferences and nothing helps. This is very aggravating.

brush pressure lag
the new update makes the brush with a calligraphic pressure sensitivity lag on the beginning of the stroke. it makes it next to impossible to get a clean start to the line.

Cannot select objects with selection tool
If I have a layer set to preview mode and it is above another layer that is not in preview mode, I cannot select objects in the preview mode layer when the objects are above an object in the lower layer. I have tried zooming in as close as I can and the selection tool will still not select an item in the preview mode layer. I can get around this by hiding the non-preview mode layer or selecting the object in the layers panel.

Illustrator CC 2018 Crashes when using Specified Steps (Blend Tool)
I'm having a problem in the 2018 version of Illustrator when using Specified Steps under the Blend Tool. The problem occurs when I click preview in the Blend Options box after selecting Specified Steps. Upon clicking preview a progress box pops up that says "Reading Illustrator File" and basically sits there. When I loose patience and close out, the whole program shuts down. I've never experienced this before in any previous version of illustrator and was hoping someone could help shed some light on the issue. Thanks in advance.

Strokes are become sporadic and missing in some places
Strokes are become sporadic and missing in some places. I don't know what the issue is. My strokes were perfect yesterday and now I update my mac and the strokes are now sporadic, jagged and missing in places. See screenshot.
5 votesHi,
We apologize for having such an irritating issue with your workflow.

Please provide your system details and the objects with which you are working.
If issue is happening in any specific file and you can provide the file to us at ShareWithAI@adobe.com, also please do mention this User Voice thread link in the mail. -
Filled areas sometimes when drawing lines?
Drawing with touch calligraphic brush, most obvious at 1 pt size, there will be funny filled in blobs along the path. Playing with the points and curves doesn't get rid of it. If the object is resized by 200% or so the "blobs" will go away, but this is not a good fix if the lines need to stay editable.
Has been reproduced using CC 2017 on an HP Spectre 360 with a stylus, AND a Mac (OS 10.12.6 Sierra & CS5) with a Wacom.

Smooth Tool | Selection
A small bug, but it has been driving me crazy:
When you have, let's say the Sharper Tool selected, and you click on a path wanting to switch to the Smoothen Tool, when you do that, it unselects the object you chose, and you have to switch back to Selection, Select the object again and switch back one more to the smoothen tool.

Image Trace Preview doesn't work
Image Trace window lets you adjust advanced preferences (color county, angle threshold etc.) When I tick the "preview" box, then image traces according to my selected preferences. But after un-ticking the box it does not return to a normal rasterized image.
