Stop automatically changing RGB files to grayscale when working with colors
Illustrator takes an RGB file and converts it to grayscale when changing the color of paths. For example- in an RGB file I change a path to red. Illustrator turns the path gray and converts the file to grayscale. I then have to convert the file back to RGB in order for the path to show as red.

Linked image file cannot be deselected
I have an infuriating problem with selected linked files that's been going on for years now.
If a linked file becomes selected (often by dragging within it's area to select other items) it is then impossible to deselect it again. I generally work with the Path Selection Only option on but a link often gets selected anyway and then this problem occurs. It's usually necessary to close the document to get out of it.
Occasionally, deselecting the file in the links panel used to work, but this problem has generally got worse. It sometimes results in editing an item unintentionally.

Font style descriptor repeated in the Font's name
I just created and exported a new font using Glyphs app.
While I was testing it, I realize how the style descriptor "Regular" appeared in the name as well.
Tried to fix this with Glyphs support as long as I discovered it's this way only on Illustrator.
No repetition on Photoshop or other non-Adobe apps.
Problem goes away if I have 2 or more styles, but other single-styled fonts (like Impact) don't have this repetition.

Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Hi together,
recently I came accross a mapping bug with a stroke ( width 0.2 Pt ) applied to a waving flag shape used in a symbol that was mapped to a 3D model.
All details can be found at Adobe Illustrator User Forum here:
Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Laubender Mar 21, 2019
https://forums.adobe.com/message/10989571#10989571Workarounds like expanding the stroke and working with an extra path element stacked behind the flag shape did not help.
The only workaround that will help is rendering the elements to an image and implement the placed and not linked image…

Undo in illustrator behaving funny. Please address it.
Undo function in Illustrator 23.0.2 (64-bit) is behaving funny. It is doing one simple undo of a transformation after 2-3 steps. Sometimes the undo totally gets disabled resulting frustration! Please address. This message is sent from the corporate license of Abobe CC of Danfoss (drives section) Global Team.

Swatches off screen
Since the latest update, if I click the swatches icon in the top left menu, the panel appears but cuts off 2-3 colors on the left side offscreen. Please fix!

Horizontal Lines
I always get these horizontal lines that show up when I'm scrolling down an illustrator file. They completely cover the screen and then go away if I zoom even a little bit. Figured this was a bug that would get fixed with an update but it has continued ever since I first downloaded the app. It only happens when I click tab to hide the menus and toolbars. Tab will also make them disappear. Assuming this is not normal, anyone else getting this??

Asks me to login to Creative Cloud when I try to "Find Fonts"
When I try to search for non-native fonts that I've downloaded after opening a file from a non-Adobe cloud program, it says I need to go to "Help" and log in to Creative CLoud. When I go to "Help", it says I'm already signed in. Restarting the program and trying again does not fix the problem.

If a pdf is opened in illustrator, edited and saved; it asks to update the file as there are modifications. Now it goes in loop.

Eyedropper, bounding box, shortcuts don't work, Text tool messed up...
Illustrator CC 23.0.2 - Mac Mojave
1) The eyedropper tool is pretty much useless, because it doesn't work on groups. I need to ungroup everything or make a compound path. This is very annoying.
2) the bounding box sometimes disappears and I cannot bring it back with the usual shortcut, i have to do it manually, sometimes even that doesn't work and I have to restart Illustrator. Also, the bounding box cannot be reset on objects like a perfect square when it's rotated 45 degrees. That means I cannot scale it properly. And also the bounding box always gets stuck…

Unwanted spacing when hitting certain keys
Mac OS 10.14.1 running Illustrator 23.0.2
When entering text, certain keys will make the cursor skip around, not allowing the proper formatting of the text.I was trying to type G. Echinulata, and when I got to 'n', the cursor skipped backwards, separating the first and second part of the text. Using an upercase 'N' seems to work as expected.
I've experienced this with lowecase 'n', and 'f'.

copy and paste only works sporadically with Wacom tablet. All AI versions up to CC 23.0.2
From at least version CS6 to CC 23.0.2 copy/paste when using a Wacom tablet only functions some of the time and I can't figure out a pattern to the behaviour. Using a mouse on the same system had no such problems. This is either using shortcut keys or the Edit menu commands. Problem on Win 7 Pro, although I've heard reports of it occurring on other O/S. This may be a partner to the "sticky rotate centre" issue reported elsewhere and which also occurs on my system.

app lock up
23.0.2 updated automaticly. No problem. I run on a Win10 HP Spectre laptop with a USB dock to a second screen. When connected to the dock, all is well. However as soon as I undoc to go to a client, the app locks EVERYTHING. Even CRTL-ATL-DEL won't reboot it. Must hard shutdown to get any other programs back up but again as soon as I open Ill... LOCKUP! Embarassing and frustrating. As soon as I dock again... smooth as glass. Thoughts?
