Ofset path bug in 24.1 version - horrible metric precision...
Problem with dimensions after using offset path. Just look - if you have square 100 x 100 mm, and want to make -4 mm offset path - new square is not 92 x 92mm, but... 92.0001 x 92.0001. This is nightmare. See attached. Adobe, I hope this bug will be fixed?

Effects Preview Checkbox Has No Effect After First Check
Version 24.0 (64-bit)
When applying an effect to a path in Illustrator, checking the "Preview" checkbox will preview that effect, but unchecking the box does not return the path back to its original shape. To test:
Use the pen tool to draw a multi-segment shape.
Select the shape
Click Effect->Distort & Transform->Roughen
Click the Preview checkbox (the effect should be applied)
Click the Preview checkbox again (the effect will not be removed)I've tested this with most of the previewable effects in the Effects menu and they all behave the same.

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.

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.

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!

Convert to shape tool
When using the convert to shape tool / ellipse:
Select circle imported from PDF that has 100's of points around perimeter. Use convert to shape, ellipse option. If I set the tool to "relative", and the value to zero "0", then the converted shape should match the original. Instead, the shape is larger, because it is using the size of the box inscribed in the circle instead of the diameter (or width and height). Please fix this.

Bug - Element Transparency not adjustable after setting transparency once.
CC 2018
Placing elements on pasteboard works fine. I adjusted the transparency of the element on layer to 40% over a red box. Now the element shows that transparency. If you try to revise the transparency the properties window shows the element at 100%. There is no way to adjust the transparency back to it's original 100% or know the current transparency.3 votes -

Strokes on text area, fill disappear
Not sure if this work as intended, but it seems a bug to me and it does not allow using text areas elements. and strokes.
I need to apply a silhouette stroke to a whole group of elements.
I add a stroke, and I move it as the last effect in the aspect panel. This work for every group of elements, symbols and etc. Expect with groups containing text areas with filled background. In this case infact the stroke is removing the color fill from the text area.

Gaussian Blur amount for the object dragged differs
If you apply a Gaussian Blur effect to an object and drag it, Illustrator will change the value slightly and restore it back when the transformation is complete.
It seems that Real-Time Drawing and Editing option does not apply the same amount of blur while the drag is in progress.
Especially noticeable if you hide edges temporarily with Cmd/Ctrl + H.
Increasing the blur radius makes the dragged preview blurrier, but still less than the intended value.

3D Crashing
I have used 3D materials on my ASUS TUF Dash FTS for over a year with no prior issues. Last night, upon updating to version 28.1, every time I even click on the 3D materials menu within the window tab, it immediately stops responding and crashes. I have Uninstalled, reinstalled, reset preferences, cleaned up creative cloud, deleted almost everything on my computer and freed up an additional 100 GB of space (I have 600GB of space total), I have gotten rid of every plugin. I am just at a complete loss because I can now not complete assignments because even…

Random extra lines generated along with results in 3D & Materials tool in vector mode.
I am working on a logo for a client - generating metallic text elements for part of it. The tool works quite well, but I'm having an issue where I cannot get it to stop drawing seemingly random vector lines around the generated element.
It seems to be persistent across EVERY setting. Bevel or inflate, raytracing or not, any quality, any DPI, any color space, reduce noise or not, it is independent of material - IDK what else to try. They are not selectable, I cannot do anything with these extra lines!
It does go away when you turn vector…
