Using the direct selection tool on a path, whilst holding ‘shift’ to drag causes crashes/can’t preview.
Mac Mojave 10.14.1 > Illustrator 23.0.1.
This issue does one of 3 things:
1/ the path repeatedly snaps back to the origin (Annoying).
2/ the path extends vertically top to bottom off the artboard causing ‘cannot preview’ issue. Although this is fixed with an undo and selecting view using GPU/CPU. (Really Annoying).
3/ Illustrator hangs and becomes unresponsive (basically hammers my system resources) and I have to force quit or it just crashes. (Ridiculously Annoying).

Draw Inside Object problems
I am working on an Apple Mac OS Sierra Version 10.12.6.
In Illustrator I can't use the draw inside objects, Draw Normal and Draw Behind are enabled, not Draw Inside?

ctrl key to change the size of an object
The ctrl key is supposed to make a square arround my selected object which lets me change the size of the object, but this function randomly stopped working.

Opacity Mask is acting funky. I paste in place an object. Exit Opacity Mask, and it's gone when I go back.
Having a bug where I paste in a graphic and neither clipping, nor invert work with my vector object. I then exit the mask to go back to the artboard, and when I go back my art is gone. I've updated all the apps for CC. Thanks.

resizing
In Illustrator 2019, when resizing an object using the W value and the H value it does not resize symmetrically keeping it centered on the xy axis like all previous versions. This is something I have relied on to keep everything centered within that shape or object. Why did this change or is it a preference that I need to select?

Box Tool not in Inches and making weird shapes
I'm trying to make specific size boxes in INCHES with my box tool. But it's only coming up in points and when I do make a box, it makes it a trapezoid shape. This new Illustrator 2019 is so buggy, it's not even funny!

Compound shape bounding box issues
MacOS Sierra (10.12.6)& illustrator 23.0.1
A compound shape of multiple objects should be acting as a single object so its bounding box should maintan the same (as group's does) but it keeps resetting after any rotation.

The rotate tool seems to have disappeared from the toolbox overnight.
The rotate tool seems to have disappeared from the toolbox. It's normally next to the scale tool & paired with the reflect tool but it's not there now. When i click on the 3 dots at the base of the toolbox it says its with the scale tool. When i click on the little triangle to open this tool to see the other tools it's paired with, it's unresponsive.
iMac. Mac OS Sierra.
I updated Illustrator to 23.0.1 yesterday. The rotate tool was there after the update.Opened file i was working on yesterday & went to click on the…

Can't draw inside?
Hi. I am trying to draw inside a capital letter. I have tried both converting type to outline by itself and then converting type to outline and then expanding the object, but the "draw inside" option remains grayed out.

Offset Path-Transform Again (Crtl D)
Using Offset Path to enlarge an object, works fine. When I use: Transform Again (Crtl D) to duplicate the same action and make another larger object it no longer works. It worked prior to Illustrator 2019 when I needed to make a concentric object. Please fix.

Legacy shape-drawing functionality is missing
I do not want "smart" shapes by default. My biggest gripe is that one cannot easily draw shapes in rapid succession. For example, if I draw a circle and immediately want to draw another, say, centered around the anchor point of the previous, I have to CMD+SHIFT+A to deselect the previous shape. Otherwise the shape tool is no longer a shape tool but a TRANSFORM tool.
1 voteYou can switch off the bounding box and smart widgets by pressing shortcut Cmd + Shift + B and can use the drawing tools as legacy tools.
You can also select View→Hide bounding box for the same.For reverting back to current state again press the same shortcut or select View → Show bounding box
Hope this would help achieving your workflow.

Offset Path Bug
OS: Windows 10
Illustrator CC 2018 Build 22.1 (64-bit)
When working with Outlined Letters 9 times out of 10 it works.
However 1:10 when I do Object > Path > Offset Path - one of the Anchor Points does not move. When this happens it always seems to occur within the plug of the letter and it appears to be an Anchor point that would have been straight down from its original position.In the Attached Image I show the original Path and Offset Path as outlines and the Anchor Points are illustrated by Cyan Circles.
Thank you!
1 voteBryan, as per the comment, please share the test file and provide the clear reproducible steps so the team can try to replicate this on their side.
