UI Not Scaling Down
After updating to the 2018 version of Illustrator, I found that the UI wasn't scaling to the proper resolution. I expected it to be proper & have smaller buttons & such. In reality, all of the tools & toolbars are bloated like it's scaled to 200%.

Recent Files panel within workspace is empty
Since the last update on PC, opening the Recent Files panel (Ctrl+O), while a document is open, opens the panel but does not show any of my recent files. It doesn't even show the "Create new" or "Open" options. I went back to the previous version and it works there, so that leads me to believe it has to do with the latest update.

Inconsistencies changing sizes using keyboard arrows
In illustrator if you change sizes using shift + arrows in the top bar, it rounds up to the nearest 10 and then goes up in 10s. In photoshop it doesn't round up just increases by 10.
I think it would be better to be able to choose which mode to use as sometimes I prefer either depending on what I am doing.

Crash when clicking on options in … (More Options) popup in the Properties panel
This one exist for at least a year: when object is selected and Properties panel docked to the right, click on the … (More Options) button in the Transform section. Then it either crashes immediately or when some option is modified (like "Scale Strokes and Effects").
I remember I reported that while ago, but got no reply and obviously no attention from support team.

Paste in front places objects in a wrong position
Just updated to Illustrator 28.3 on macOS Ventura 13.4 on iMac 19,1.
Paste in front is fine on current artboard copied from. But paste in front does not land in corresponding location on another target artboard.
i.e. - copy text or art from artboard A. Paste in front artboard A lands in exact same spot. Paste in front artboard B (same size, but to the right of A) lands at -6.568" @ 139.125° from artboard A location (up and to the left). Artboard C (2nd document) lands up and to the left -19.6735" @ 169.064° of expected location.1 voteThe bug vanished after a reboot.
If you encounter this again — please leave a comment.

Scrollbar breaks using stylus (windows/wacom)
While I'm using a stylus, if I use the scrollbar, illustrator acts as if I haven't released from the scroll bar and continues to wildly scroll, and all other features including closing the program are inaccessible. This continues even if I tab out of the program and doesn't stop until I force quit illustrator.

'Creative Cloud Files' folder shortcut keeps appearing in Finder side bar
I delete this shortcut every time it reappears, how can I stop it from reappearing? I thought Adobe deprecated the file sync? I have been seeing notifications about it going away in February 2024.
Anyways, it's annoying, i've never used CC file storage, it would be great to be able to completely remove it from the UI.

The windows I last opened are forgotten every boot up. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open windows)
The windows I last opened are forgotten every bootup. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open the windows it normally opens either. The windows that were opened do not change when switching Workspaces.) I have to open each window manually every bootup.

Keybord shortcut doesn't work for Object > Expand
I added a custom keyboard shortcut for
Object > Expand (Alt+Shift+Ctrl+L)
It has no conflict with any other shortcutFor example, while I have a rectangle selected and it has a stroke applied, if I select the expand command from the menu, it works flawless.
But if I hit the "Alt+Shift+Ctrl+L" keys, the shortcut won't work until I expanded first from the menu commandOnly after I clicked on the menu command, the keyboard shortcut starts working again

Bounding Box outside path and wrong dimensions
After 22 years of using Illustrator, the bounding box does not works anymore as it was used to.
When I draw a square of 10mm x 10mm with a centered path of 0,5mm the bounding box was always visualized precisely over the path and the dimensions of the square are 10x10mm
Since yesterday (01.18.2024) the bounding box is visualized outside the path and the dimensions are 10,5 x 10,5mm
Hope that is only a bug and not a featureVersion 28.1 (64 bit) on Windows 10
1 voteThis is a feature, and you can disable it.
Go to Preferences > General and turn off Use Preview Bounds option in the bottom right corner.
With this enabled Illustrator includes strokes into the measured bounds.

Selection of Advanced Option When Creating New Artwork Seems Buggy
The drop down menu of the selections for Advanced Options when creating new artwork looks buggy. The selections text gets cut off, and the drop down menu bar seems condensed hence not able to see the text of the selection.
I'm on Windows platform, desktop.
