Hi,
Based on the information provided by Margaret in the last comment, the issue is not specific to Illustrator but related to Astute's Dynamic Sketch tool. Thus closing the issue for now.

ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping broken in 2020
ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping (set to false)
In 2019 (23.1), PNGs exported by javascript are trimmed to the visible bounds of the object as expected when false. When true, they're the size of the artboard.
In 2020 (24.3), the same script always produces PNGs the size of the artboard whatever artBoardClipping is set to.
Illustrator 24.3 vs Illustrator 23.1

Script run via Illustrator (File/Scripts) as well as testing in ETSK 4.0.0.1It's a dealbreaker for version 24. We can't upgrade as a team unless this is fixed.

SVG Tiny 1.2 :: x/y attributes in svg element
It looks like Illustrator believes that x/y are valid attributes for the 'svg' element when exporting as Tiny 1.2. Based on reading the spec, I'm not entirely sure this is true.

A bug compounded with rotated line gradients, arrows, and appearances
There are some conditions for reproduction.
・ Line with arrow
・ Set gradation to line color
Two or more lines created by the appearanceIt is good to change the line width or move by "deformation" to check the change of the overlapped line.
Rotate the object.
Then click on the eye icon in the appearance panel to show or hide each line. The direction of the gradation of the line not touching should change one after another.I have confirmed this phenomenon in all versions from CS6 to 2020.
A similar phenomenon was obtained with the vertical axis reflect.…13 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2.3 which is available worldwide now.

Selection Tool Bounding Box transform is broken with circles and rectangles
The most often used transform option - the bounding box of the selection tool - is broken with these shapes.
If the shape has stroke, the bounding box will include the stroke.
And when I move the transform corner (no matter how tiny amount) the real vector outline jumps to bounding box around it to the stroke's visible edge - thus creating a completely unintentional transform. For example an upscale while I'm actually scaling down.
( The free transform tool works perfectly with these shapes too.)13 votes -
Stuck on Rotate or Reflect Tool - Wacom Input Device
I have run into this issue many times over the years (multiple AI versions) and figured I'd add to the posts about it.
When using either the Rotate or Reflect tool, Illustrator often gets stuck. What I mean by stuck is that after trying to rotate or reflect some artwork, the Rotate or Reflect tool remains active as if you never released right click. This makes it so that every subsequent movement just rotates around the artwork as though you were still holding down right click. If you try to click elsewhere in the program, nothing happens. Clicking with a…

On applying tracking via Properties panel, Illustrator issues like Tracking of complete paragraph changes, Bounding Box gets invisible
MacOS, multiple versions, multiple hardware configs
Illustrator CC2018 & 2019This has been reported on a number of other posts, but seems to keep being reposted as new entries, rather than upvoted.
Since CC2018 the ability to adjust tracking in Illustrator has been broken. This appeared to begin with the introduction of the Properties Panel in CC2018, but the issues extend to the 'normal/traditional' Character Panel as well.
When adjusting tracking on a single letter or group of letters, the program will glitch and the adjustment value shown in the panel will not reflect the value being incremented. Moreover, deselecting…

accept both full stop and comma as decimal separator
Illustrator is very picky when it comes to entering decimal fractions in input fields. E.g. when using Dutch as keyboard language, the . is not allowed, and ignored, so we have to use the comma, which does not reside on the num keypad.
Please make Ai accepting both the . and the ' as a decimal separator.13 votes -

Selection tool not working with Text
Intermittently, the selection tool isn't working with my text. For area type, the bounding box will disappear (and "show bounding box" is enabled). When it re-appears, often there is a lag between when I move the text and when the bounding box follows it. If there is no lag, it is not uncommon for the bounding box not to move at all.
OR my selection tool will (on area type) act only like a direct selection tool. And the transformation controls on each side of a rectangle of the type box will disappear. All I can do is use the…

Media size setting of print dialog returns to default settings on changing color via swatches (or apply arrowhead via strokes)
Any operating system (happens on both Windows and Mac)
Illustrator Version 22.x or 21.xChange "media size" in print setting from "Defined by Driver" to any paper.
Finish the print dialog ("Done" click).
Select from the color book with Swatches panel, or set the arrow with the Stroke panel.
When returning to the print setting again, the media size returns to "Defined by Driver".Does not occur before Version 20 (CC 2015.5).
Possibility to occur when using settings that refer to another Illustrator file.
Problems reported in the Japan Forum.

Actions based on Scripts not saving after restart?
From: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2191151
I located another thread from December where the consensus seems to be that this is a long standing and known bug with Illustrator.
Permanently saving scripts in Action Set doesn't work / Scripts werden nicht dauerhaft in den Aktionseinstellungen gespeichert.I have spent a good deal of time working with people here on the Adobe forums to develop a script to automate a very large function of my job, and now that it is completed it should be ready to pass on to members of my team so they can utilize it as well.

Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.
