Legacy blur lost when pasting into a new document.
An object with a legacy blur loses it's setting when copying and pasting into a new document. The blur is still listed in appearance, but there is no value and effectively no blur.

Appearance panel - Stroke on rectangle shape
I have a rectangle shape in my appearance panel. When I try to add a stroke to it, I get a row saying "outline stroke" (underdotted as if it should be able to change) and popup tips saying "click to edit effect". But nothing happens when trying to click to open stroke settings. So I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature request or simply me doing it wrong. Anyway, it seams to be meant to work, if not it would be great if you could add things like strokes to these shape rectangles/circles.

Neon glow
Every time I try to change the color of the Neon Glow filter, it always goes back to black. I've tried a lot of different things, but nothing works. I looked on the internet if there's a way to fix it, but seems that everyone has the same problem with Neon Glow.

3D Extrude and Bevel - Rough color transitions
The 3D extrude and bevel doesn't seem to handle transitions between curved surfaces and straight surfaces well. There's a very rough color transition in the resulting 3D render where one would expect a smooth transition. See attached for an example.

transform effect negative numbers
This has been a problem for a long time -- not just the current version of Illustrator. When applying a transform effect to an object and using the "move" part of the effect, negative numbers get converted to positive numbers. Occasionally I can "fool" the effect by not previewing the results but that doesn't work often. This happens whether I type in the numbers by hand or use the slider.

blending application inconsistent in groups and appearance
To reproduce the problem, in RGB document, set up a rectangle with fill and outline, on top of some colored background shape.
Using Appearance panel modify blending and opacity of fill and stroke to use anything other than normal blending. Then change the whole object's opacity, so it has "isolate blending" checkbox checked.Now try selecting any option for blending mode, other than Normal.
All blending modes are ignored and cause no change in appearance.
Now, select one of the blending modes anyways.
Then expand the appearance of the object. Illustrator will create a group with path elements in the…4 votes -
Drop shadows unnecessarily re-render when placing new images, slowing workflow
As of 5/22/18 using Illustrator 22.1, all existing drop shadow effects within document re-render each time a new image is placed. Rendering can take up to 30 seconds to process (a Progress dialogue box appears), which slows down workflow considerably.
This is never an issue with InDesign or Photoshop, so I'd love to see this fixed in Illustrator. Thanks!

Stroke weight reverts to previous scale when embedding after rotating a graphic.
AI CC 22.1
I had an linked .pdf at 10% scale, which I rotated 90 degrees, then scaled up by 1000%, then I embedded the file. The strokes in the artwork reverted back to 10% size. If I repeat the procedure, but do not rotate the file first, then the stoke retains the enlarged size.
