compound path
Hi. When i make compound path and give it a gradient and rotate it manually by 180 degrees everything is ok. When this object i rotate back by 180 degrees also everything is ok (gradient back to original 0 degrees). This how it should works. But when i save file and open it again this rotated object is "damaged" when i try to rotate it by 180 degrees this gradient dont rotate but it should. This happens only when i save file and open it again. All guys in my team have same problem with gradients in compound path.

Change color in scaled dynamic symbols looses strokes scale
When you place a symbol and scale it, of course, its strokes are scaled.
But if the symbol was dynamic, and you try to change the color, then all the other parts MIGHT get their own stroke "unscaled".
Look at the video below where all my shapes strokes reverted back to 24px instead of 50% scale (12px) If I had a more complex set of items, I can't imagine how to use dyn symbols at all, that's sad.
The linked image also shows that.

loop glitch
when i draw a loop (or any curved line) with my wacom pen or mouse there is a 50% chance a weird ( I really dont know how to describe it, photos attached) extra color area and if I outline the stroke it stays that way. I just want a regular old stroke to stay the width I chose for it. its very time consuming to go through every loop and tweak it just slightly so the extra stuff goes away.
i'm using illustrator cc 22.1 on an imac 10.13.3 but had the problem before on my old macbook pro…

compound path mask bug
When a compound path serves as a mask AND has it's own color, objects inside it can not be selected with the Direct Selection-tool. Instead, the mask itself is selected. This is different from single-path masks, where objects inside can be selected with the Direct Selection-tool (even when the mask has it's own color).
In attached file, both masks contain the same purple rectangle. In the 'g' (a compound path), the rectangle cannot be selected with the Direct Selection tool. In the 'K', it can. Both masks are colored.

Anchor Point Tool can create shape so huge, not enough memory to Undo
I was using the Anchor Point Tool to add handles to an anchor point (using mouse pointer to click and drag handles into existence), and suddenly, the shape stroke line shot off the artboard into virtual oblivion (apparently a gigantic loop causing a massively huge shape). When I tried to Undo (Ctrl-Z) a message box popped up saying "The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available."
I f'ing lost several hours of work because I had to close Illustrator and not save ('cuz I was afraid it would reload into the same condition, thus destroying many [MANY]…

The top layer has an additional BLACK stroke applied that’s why the WHITE stroke on the artwork is not displayed. Please select Layer 1 from Layers panel and then from Appearance panel remove the Stroke.
Hope it helps.

Bug star with a radius of 0.
Since updating to #illustrator CC 2018, why it is now impossible to create a star with a radius of 0. I am a French trainer and it is now impossible to create a star with a radius of 0. I tested on PC and MAC and there is always this problem.

CC 2018 line Mode
Not really sure (Im new to this program) How to describe this, But I'm sure it's not the norm.
Graph work on logo in line mode zoomed in.
I would also love to see a way to select multiple paths after creating them in the layers panel. One by one is tedious.

Scatter brush rotation orientation to line.
When using a scatter brush with rotation set to the line (not page) the vertical orientation will randomly flip. For instance, when I'm using the scatter brush to create a bush with stems and leaves pointing up (natural orientation), after creating the line and applying the scatter brush sometimes the brush will apply pointing down.

Brush edge dissapears. Can't see the shape of my brush. Randomly.
Cannot see the outline of my brush. Randomly it dissapears. It would be great if I was into random looks to what I do. But I'm not.
In fact, I'll hazard a guess that not many people paying close to £50/month are very into randomly varying results.

Panel Options not displaying on click and hold
In the panel selection for all the tools (natively on the left) as a click and hold on a tool (ie. The rectangle tool) it does not show any options to select anything else such as the ellipse tool. This issue exists on all of the tool buttons as well as trying to selecting font sizes, in the character panel. Another example is the transparency dropdown. The dropdown just doesn't show up when I click it.

Pen Tool - Arrowhead
No objects selected, Pen Tool equipped.
Stroke settings: 2 pt, arrowhead #5 selected for end conditionBug: Place first point and the arrowhead on the end condition reverts to blank (no arrowhead)
Workaround: Resellecting the arrowhead after placing the first point returns the line's behavior to what is expected: arrowhead trailing on the last point drawn.
