Dialog windows move / float to the left
Bug Report: Floating windows drift offscreen (see attached video).
Adobe Illustrator 26.4I tried reverting to older versions of Adobe Illustrator, but the issue exists for them as well; To me, that suggests the problem is related to the beta macOS. I am raising this bug now because the issue could present itself as users upgrade to macOS Ventura this fall.
System Info:
I am running MacOS, Ventura, Version 13.0 Beta (22A5311f) on iMac M1 (2021) with 8MB RAM.5 votesResolved (Comments Open) · AdminRama (Mgr, Software Quality Engineering, Adobe Illustrator) respondedThis issues is fixed in macOS 13 Beta 5

v27.2. Rulers are glitching out.
The rulers are only showing when i mouse over them, even though Show Rulers is ON. And when using Direct Select Tool, the anchor points only show on mouse hover, so impossible to edit shapes - as you need to move off the point to grab the handle. I reset my settings to essentials classic, restarted, but no improvement. What to do??
1 voteThe issue got resolved by pasting the artwork in a new document. However, the cause of the bug is unknown. Please vote and comment if something similar happens for you.

An action set can’t be dragged into the topmost position
For some peculiar reason an action set item can’t be dropped at the top of the list in Actions panel, like it’s shown in the GIF attached. To workaround this, you have to put it second, and then put the first one after it.
Minor, but still a bug.12 votes -
Scale Strokes & Effects checkmark in Transform panel is disabled when nothing is selected
Illustrator has many ways to reach certain values, options and functions: through menus, panels, preferences, etc. Accessibility options are fine most of the times, and we are all used to this approach (sometimes it becomes ridiculous, like with many ways to access Transform).
But there are some toggles which are hard to control.
'Scale Strokes and Effects' can be accessed in Preferences (as a global option), in the Scale dialog (as a local option), and in Transform panel (as some kind of contextual option)...No. I lied, but in a way I once was fooled by Ai. These are the…

Problem with mouse wheel when switching applications with ALT+TAB Windows
When switching from Illustrator to another application with the key combination ALT+TAB, using the mouse wheel (e.g.: zoom) no longer works correctly. The application must first be minimized and then maximized again for the Maurad to function normally again.
Beim Wechel von Illustrator in einer andere Anwendung mit der Tastenkombination ALT+TAB funktioniert das Verwenden des Mausrades (z.B.: Zoom) nicht mehr korrekt. Die Anwendung muss erst minimiert und dann wieder maximiert werden, damit das Maurad wieder normal funktioniert.

Bad polish translation. 3D and materials
In 3D and materials tools. Inflate properties has translated volume to "głośność" which means loudness in polish. It should be translated to "objętość" instead.
Clearly translator had no context.
In the same menu there is a lot of issues with translation too, but that one was most bizzare to me and made me come here to post this issue.
Someone really should take a closer look at it.

Eye icons are broken in AI in all panels
Unlike Photoshop, Alt+clicking an eye icon in Layers and Appearance does not hide everything else but the clicked item. The second Alt+click should revert the operation.
Same should apply for lock icons.
Then, clicking and dragging the cursor down through eyes to show/hide everything below the pointer works only in Layers — but no in the Appearance, where this is as much important.

Tool buttons appear as copies in other toolbars
Ai display a copy of the currently selected tool in each custom tool panel a user have. This is distracting, eats up space, and serves no practical purposes.
Yes, I kind of understand the logic behind this... 'what if a user does not have the currently picked tool in any panel now displayed? how can they know what tool is no active?' — but why EVERY panel? Choose one. Or let the user to choose one.
You are allowing to create toolboxes with no fill/selector stroke, without Draw modes even (Normal/Behind/Inside) — something a user can’t get anywhere else if…

Font Height Options Tab order is broken
In Character panel, when you choose an option to display Font Height Options, hitting Tab to focus works wrong.
Click Font Family field to focus it and press Tab to focus the next one, Font Style. It works fine, nut the next press moves the focus to the Font Size field, skipping Font Height Reference field!
So it means we can’t access this field at all using a keyboard.11 votes -

オブジェクトを再配色にて、RGBスライダーが短く表示される
Mac OS 12.6 Monterey
Illustrator27.2(27.1.*)再配色ウインドウを開いた時に、下部の調整部分がRGBだとバーが短く表示されます。CMYKや他の調整モードに切り替えた後RGBに戻すとバーの長さは戻りますが、何度も切り替えているとRGBのバーのみがまた短くなることがあります。
27.2にアップデートすることで解決するかと思いましたが解決していなかったので、前のバージョンの正確な数字を覚えていないのですが27.1.*でも同様でした。3 votes -
When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty
If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.
Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.
So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.
