zoom tool malfunction
HI there,
On my Acer laptop, currently running windows 10, Illustrator had turned off some performance settings last week after a bug fix. when I press certain commands on my keyboard for the selections and zoom tool, the screen zooms in at the maximum and I can no longer zoom back out.
I believe I am currently using Adobe Illustrator version 24.1.3

"Curvature Tool" anchor points randomly deleting themselves
When working with the curvature tool, the anchor points delete themselves. This seems to be happening when I alt+click on one to make a sharp corner, then go to place the next point, the previous point (sometime the two previous) will delete themselves and end the path, as if I'd finished and gone to another tool (for instance the direct select tool) when I have not and am still trying to draw the path with the curvature tool.
Latest Version of Ai CC(just updated yesterday), Windows 10 (also latest update)

CC 22.1 on MAC OS X El Capitan V10.11.6
When using the direct selection tool you cannot see what's been selected - the selection doesn't highlight.
Guides keep disappearing when clicked-on with the selection tool. When you select-all - all the guides disappear.

OS X 10.5.3 Illustrator loads up every time, with half my palettes off the screen. I can't access them or bring them back
OS X 10.5.3 Illustrator constantly loads up with half my palettes off the screen. I can't access them or bring them back. This makes Illustrator pretty unsuable

Anchor pointer options becomes active while having a drawing tool (rectangle, line etc) active
Draw some shapes. Now try to draw another shape/line starting from one of the anchor point of the previous shape. You can't because the anchor selection tool becomes active and it will take over the action. Thsi wasn't like that.
The alternative is to draw shapes somewhere else and move afterwards the anchors to snap together. But is very annoying !!!!
Please fix it.
Why the old applications work the best and the newer ones are totally messed up? Why break a thing that works?1 vote -
Round corners worked better before
The round corner options when selecting a shape worked a lot better before the latest update (24.1.1). Before when you had hard edges in a shape you pretty much could make round edges on every corner. Now it only appears a few places.

Height and Width indicator at cursor switched when resizing a box.
When I go to resize a box, the height and width indicators at the cursor are switched.
1 voteThe rectangle you are scaling is probably rotated 90 degrees, and how has the width oriented along the Y-axis.
See, rectangles are drawn as live shapes when created in versions after 2014, and they remember their widths and heights independently from the size of their bounding boxes (which can differ a lot if a shape is rotated to an arbitrary angle).
This is somewhat confusing... but your own height does not get smaller if you lay down, isn’t it?
To solve this, you can convert your live rectangle into a path and then immediately convert it back t a rectangle again (Object > Shape > Expand Shape / Convert to Shape) — this will effectively reset the rotation to a 'normal' way.

ruler 45° angle are not a straight line when zoom in, artefacts while moving cursor over it
If you place a ruler(line), rotate it 45° and zoom in, the line is not a straight line. You can see a stair effect.
Moving over it with the cursor, makes artefacts on repaint.
A 45° line from top-left to bottom-right should be always drawn as 1px right and 1px down.
I think the math-lib in the background of illustrator is written with a very very poor quality, so that this in trues is a rounding problem from float to integer.

grouped objects don't snap to corners most of the time
If you have shapes in a group, it's very very hard, to place it with the group corner in the page corner.
You except that it will snap with the top-left corner of the group to the top-left corner of the page (position 0,0), but very often you can't. And when you think AI did it, it's not exactly at 0,0.

When using the Reflect Tool's panel (pressing enter), pressing the "Up" and "Down" keys on the keyboard recognizes the order to be
1. Vertical
2. Angle
3. Horizontalwhich doesn't match the UI.

Don’t ‘smooth’ a straight path when removing points
When removing a point on a straight line, don’t try to make a curve but keep the line straight.

Pen Tool Malfunction
Pen tool will not allow me place an anchor point on certain points. It will let me anchor on the pixel above or below, but will not let me click to start a path anywhere inbetween. It's causing me to cut chunks out of images I'm trying to apply a clipping mask to or leave background slivers in.

Rotate axis freezes illustrator
When trying to rotate an object at a different axis point, the arrow button then freezes and won't allow you to drop the axis point to an another area, leaving illustrator to stop working. Not sure if this is a bug in the recent update.
