Eyedropper creates buggy hidden/invisible/non-existent appearances on text objects
This bug only seems to work on Windows.
Illustrator version: 25.2.1As discussed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/buggy-hidden-invisible-non-existent-appearances/m-p/11964528/thread-id/271978#M272107
Creating a default text object, selecting it, then clicking on it with the eyedropper tool creates an invisible/pseudo-existing appearance on the text. This is evident in that going to the top menu shows that Object > Expand... is greyed out while Object > Expand Appearance is not. You can also see in the Layers panel that the text object has its selection circle filled with grey, indicating that it has an appearance. Yet checking the Appearance panel shows that there is no appearance at all…

Colors Being Displayed Differently than in Color Picker
I just decided to update to AI 2021, bad idea... I was working on a file and I realized that the color had changed from the original dark blue to a purple color. I do not know what happened, but I know it must have to do with the update because it happened right after this.

Colors not displaying correctly in Illustrator 25.2.1
Colors are displaying brighter and incorrectly in CMYK color mode. I've color calibrated my monitor; restarted my computer; uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator and still all files pulled into Illustrator are displaying this way.

It should have an autosave option or a restore work option when it quits unexpectedly. But also there is a but when trying to save

Illustrator CC 2020 Saving Unknown Error
Illustrator won't let me save my files. I've tried to open another new file to save my files and the same error has occurred unless I have the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned off. I have never encountered this before and this is my first time encountering this problem.

Allow templates to save a color profile
Allow templates to save a color profile instead of opening EVERY TIME as untagged RGB or CMYK. Or at the very least, since Color Management Policy is set to Convert to Working Space... DO THAT!

My colors keep getting dull randomly without changing settings
This has happened repeatedly on different documents. When I select a color, I find that when I look back at the file (without closing the file) in 15-20 minutes, the colors become dull. My settings are in RGB.

Pencil tool in Illustrator 2021 less smooth (when editing existing line) than in Illustrator 2020, even with same settings
When using the pencil tool to edit existing lines, instead of a smooth transition at the start and end of the edit, it's always a little jagged no matter how carefully I draw it. Toggling and using the smooth tool afterwards helps, but that adds an extra step every time I use this tool to edit lines. The 2020 version didn't have this problem, and I compared my pencil tool settings between the two versions and they were the same. Even tweaking the settings on the 2021 pencil tool doesn't resolve the issue.

Add title in svg export
I would like a way to add a title to exported SVGs.
You should be able to set this at the artboard level, not just at the document level.
This would greatly improve the accessibility of exported SVGs and simplify workflows.

Bad image quality on Export Asset
If I use Export Asset, fine details in patterns get smeared and destroyed in the resulting bitmap (png). This happens regardless of whether I scale the object up, or export at super high resolution.
If I use normal Export, the detail is as expected. In fact, this happens even at very low resolutions where you naturally expect to lose detail. Regardless, Illustrator does attempt to preserve brightness and detail as best as possible given the resolution when choosing normal Export. But with Export Asset, the behavior is totally different and, honestly, unusable in most cases.

Copy (or Cut) \ Paste: the object appears on the same layer when another layer is selected.
Hello,
1.
Windows 10, Illustrator 25.2
2.
I have an object\s on layer 1. I copy\cut it. Select layer 2, press Paste - the object Appears on layer 1 and layer 2 is still selected.
3.
It should appear on layer 2 as it was before.
4.
I can not copy\paste objects on another layer, I can only move them in Layer Window.3 votesAs per the comment, this often happens if you enable Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers panel’s flyout menu. With it turned on, Ai respect the original layers of pasted objects.

Live corners are stretching
The corners are supposed to be live, but yet they stretch/distort when transforming. Objects with round corners should retain their radii, or I should have the option/keyboard modifier to change this behavior. The radio button in the transform palette is not working.
The options should be scale, distort, or retain current value.
