Template files (.ait) use/show the Adobe Swach Exchange (.ase) icon in Windows Explorer
It's pretty much what the title says, .ait files show up in Explorer with the .ase icon. Everything works as expected though, double clicking it will open a new file in Illustrator, so this is purely a cosmetic issue.

An installed font doesn’t get found when its name is typed in a search field
I'm missing fonts that used to show up in my list. What happened to my favorites? I started typing the missing font name in search and it showed up briefly and then disappeared. From then on every time I tried to search for it again the cursor jumped around and started typing nonsense.

Image Trace over a white square on color mode with 2 colors crashes Illustrator
This is a bug that happens on all versions of Illustrator, even CC 2019, and regardless of OS.
It's very specific, but here are the steps:
Create a new document. Color Mode doesn't matter.
Draw a square with only a white fill.
Rasterize it. Resolution and color mode doesn't matter.
Run Image Trace on it
In the Image Trace settings, set the Mode to Color and the number of colors set to 2.
Illustrator will crash.
Try it out! The expected result is probably just the same as if the number of colors was set to 3 or anything else…2 votes -
Random selections and wandering selection tool
When selecting and deselecting layers, the software will select and deselect other layers on its own. The selection tool and text tool will wander on its own all over the screen when trying to select or add text.

Split to grid on multiple artboards
Tdlr: horisontal guides made with "split to grid" go onto the first artboard, when they shouldn't.
I use split to grid to make myself a grid to work on and it works fine on a single artboard. But if i try to make split to grid on any other artboard than the first one, it sends the horisontal guides to the first artboard and keeps the vertical ones on the correct one. The lines stay grouped and can be moved, but it takes extra time and effort.
This happended on different machines.Writing this on a phone, but I can…
2 votesCan’t reproduce in the latest version.
The description is no exactly clear, so it’d be nice to get a video of the behavior, along with the exact steps: what configuration of artboards do you have, what and how do you split exactly, what do you do next to make guides.

Select objects behind with ctrl/cmd click only works on filled objects
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/selecting-objects.html#select_behind_objects
The option to select objects behind by holding ctrl/cmd and clicking sequentially works when clicking an object's fill, but not its path. As such, it doesn't work if 'Object Selection by Path Only' is enabled in preferences.
I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work when clicking on a path, so I'm reporting as a bug.

Selector tool glitch — element selected and deselected at once
Sometimes, elements will incorrectly be deselected, getting them into a strange state where they are seen as unselected in the layers panel, but being displayed as selected on the canevas. Most operations will not affect it (move and scale), but some, including align, will produce strange, incoherent results. It either stops at random or does not, needing a restart of Illustrator to be able to resume editing.
It has happened multiple times already over the last weeks, and I cannot see a pattern to it's occurence. Just now it happened while navigating the history where elements were being grouped/ungrouped and…

Visible Text unable to be edited.
While trying to edit a line of text in illustrator, i couldn't select it. While i could see the text in preview mode, in outline mode it does not show. After saving and reopening the file, the text is editable again and visible in outline mode. This has happened to me for years, it just happened a lot today and got on my nerves. pics below of the issue. same section of the file, just different view modes.

Clipping masks release
When I reopen a document with clipping masks the masks are released. It is very frustrating remaking all photos each time I open to make edits.
