Surface Pen Stylus Pressure paintbrush doesn't work
The stylus pressure for the paintbrush tool in the touch workspace on a Microsoft Surface seems to work occasionally but not always. The Surface Pen is connected (Bluetooth), I can get stylus pressure to work sometimes and not others. Sometimes in the same session! Or if I flip to the regular desktop workspace it'll work occasionally. I cannot figure out what the key ingredient is. It seems very random. I can also get it to recognize pressure if I enable "constrain drawing 45deg" but not if I disable it. How does that make sense? Must be a bug. Please address…

art brush direction
I created a new art brush. When applied to a stroke it rotates 90 degrees. The same bug was reported by another user in July 2020. How many months will it take to fix this?

clipboard copy bug
I have iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), the latest OS BigSur 11.2, memory 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, video card Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB. The latest regularly updated version of Illustrator (25.1) and since last year or some I noticed that once in a while there were problems with clipboard memory. Whenever you copy or just select some object on artboard, immediately you get a garbled text box pasted. Very nasty, and after the latest update it has gotten considerably worse. Now I literally cannot simultaneously select several objects without having this garbled block pasted. So I cannot align…

Knife leaving behind graphical artifacts on low opacity
I just updated Illustrator on my Mac OS and I am really unhappy. One of my most used tools, the knife, leaves behind little, uneven and ugly shapes on the edges of the cut objects. This only happens on objects that have a lowered opacity. That ruins my work as I like to cell shade with low opacity blacks. Please fix that.

Right Menu Bar Not appearing
Hello Adobe Crew! This is Eva.
I am here to report that the right menu bar is not appearing. I don't know what the bar is actually called so please excuse any misnaming. I wasn't drawing in fullscreen, and the fact that the right menu bar was in the way kinda annoyed me. So I clicked the 'X' button to put it away. I was done drawing, so I put my laptop away. Next day I want to draw, I open Illustrator, open a new canvas, and the right menu bar doesn't appear. I have tried to restart Illustrator many…

Importing Brushes is not working.
Trying to import a variety of brushes from all different sources that are CS4 and above and correct AI files.
When I look at preview links it provides the image below. And when I open the files are blank this is consistent with every single brush AI file I"ve tried to open. However, on the Open menu of illustrator they are available to preview. Is there a problem with opening AI brushes in the 2021 update? Ideally I need these brushes to finish work for a client, and need to build on Illustrator rather than Photoshop

Resizing a constrained proportion shape not accurate to input
In 'Transform', if I set it to constrain proportions, then change the size of a square to '50mm x 50mm', the dimensions automatically change to something like '49.4345mm x 49.156mm'.
It also does this with any shape I created. So annoying! I think it worked back in 2019's versions, but with any version since doesn't.

Scale tool slowing down and not responding correctly
I am not happy with the 2020 separate Scale tool. I am still getting used to the fact that I have to switch between tools but that is bearable. But the fact that this tool goes crazy makes me want to throw my laptop to the wall. It is way too sensitive to the move of my drawing pen and scales in an undesired direction. Usually, after I lift the pen but still hold the Shift for a second longer, the image/object totally distorts and going steps back lags and stops my work as I have to wait for Illustrator…

Resizing rotated rectangle using selection tool drags wrong side
If I use the rectangle tool to create a square/rectangle, rotate it (for example, 45 degrees), then try to resize using the selection tool, it resizes the wrong side. For example, if I drag the bottom left side, it moves the bottom right side.
I've included a screen record demonstrating the issue.
Operating system is Mac, Mojave, 10.14.6
Illustrator version is 25.0.1 (though this bug has been noticed in older versions)
