UI Issues with Two Monitor Setup
When I open Illustrator, sometimes it opens across both of my monitors with ridiculous scaling that causes it to be massive. It takes several full screen corner pulls to get it to a manageable size. Secondly, if I try to do a full screen preview on my second monitor, the whole thing just crashes, without fail, every time, so I am stuck designing on my laptop monitor instead of the secondary monitor.

RGB colors appear differently in identical file setup
I have created color codes in one document and brought them into another (with the exact same RGB setup) and the color breakdowns change to look the same. This is a problem because if I am sharing the RGB breakdowns with others, some of the colors appear much duller. I have noticed that something changes when an image is brought in from an external source sometimes. This is becoming a big issue across our team.

My brush and pencil settings wont stay selected
Whenever I select the options for my pencil or brush tool, e.g. uniform + basic, the menu changes to a default unwanted option, or gets stuck on one previously used. My paintbrush or blob brush tool does the same thing but goes further. It does not show the path or shape I'm drawing until after I've released the left click key or pen pressure.

Stop rasterizing the gradient on an object when expanding its appearance
When you expand the appearance of an object with a gradient, the gradient is rasterized, which I believe, defeats the purpose of using it considering the results. The resulting image has a lot of erroneous White specs. If there is a stroke aligned to the center, it creates two layers with the same gradient, which means you have to unite them with pathfinder. A layer that's shaped the same as the rasterized object with the gradient is the color gray.
The workaround is to apply a solid color, then expand, then reapply the gradient, but it took me some time…

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.

Illustrator keeps shutting when I try to save my work and all of my work is lost.

a document that shuts Illustrator and I've lost hours of work due to it so that needs to get fixed.3 votes -
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.

Textframe bugs out, and won't change color. Had to make new text boxes
Found a bug where a specific text box will NOT ovewrite the color of the text. I tried deleting paragraph styles, making new paragraph styles with different color, character styles and eyedropper tool. I can change weight, italics etc but the color would NOT change, despite the changes appearing in the appearance panels and other areas. Fixed by making new text boxes and moving the copy to those, but an annoying bug for sure.

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.
