Color set through Appearance section Properties conflicts with the one from dedicated Appearance panel.
Some features in Illustrator are quite strange. For example, if you set a color in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel and then add a color in the independent "Appearance" panel, the object will have color A+color B overlap, but the color set in the Appearance panel of the Properties panel cannot be reflected in the "Appearance" panel.
The Appearance panel in the Properties is different from the individual Appearance panel, which cannot be understood.1 vote -

Scaling proportionally not working with Use Preview Bounds enabled
Hello :)
Very weird issue happening at the moment. I was working on a file and realised some things which were supposed to be proportionate were not. I double checked and actually Illustrator was not scaling things proportionally!
Video to show what happens.So far I've uninstalled Illustrator and re-installed it. Seems like keeping Preview Bounds off is the only thing that works. If you got any ideas please let me know :)
Thank you <3

Entering a new value for width or height in Properties Panel sometimes add the value to the old one instead of replacing it
If I enter a new value for either W or H in Properties then it will take that new value and add it to the initial one.
I did not provide any input for a additive value. It does not happen every time but here and there an instance like that will occur.
Say the shape is 1024px by 1024px and I wanted to make it 2048px by 1024px.
Ai will then sometimes make it 3072px by 3072px.
Other times it will just scale the shape up to fill the entire workable space in Ai.1 vote -

Can't manually enter values within the Properties toolbar
When I go to edit a value in the properties bar (for example, angle or stroke size), nothing appears when I type. This problem doesn't exist after reloading Ai but starts occurring shortly after working with the program. The values are still editable using cursors, but make design work very difficult since I can't simply type the angle, width, stroke size, etc.. that I want.

Cmd/Ctrl + Enter does not work in Properties to constrain a value temporarily
I want to say first of all. Maybe most people don't know this. For example, the Transform Palette has a great feature while holding down the Ctrl key. At least for me.
With Ctrl+Enter in the Transform Palette, I can scale proportionally enlarge/reduce regardless of whether the Constrain Width and Height Proportions button is selected or not.
This feature (Ctrl+Enter) Properties Panel Does Not Work. When will you make this palette that you are so proud of more useful? For example, I want to add the Layer Palette custom. etc.The same feature that worked in the old versions of…

Previewing a Type object's Font Size or Tracking in the Properties panel causes the action to count towards undos
In a new document, create a new type object. When expanding the dropdown for the type's Size or Tracking in the Properties panel and hovering over the options, clicking out and not confirming any of the values, then attempting to undo will step through all the values hovered over, even though they were never applied. These seem to be the only fields that behave this way, so it seems like a mistake.
Interacting with the Character panel's controls will fix this issue until Illustrator is closed and re-opened.

Keyboard input in Properties Panel, Character section failure
Keyboard input in the Properties Panel will frequently stop working for me, and the only way to fix it is to restart the application. It's not a huge issue but it is quite irritating as I need to restart illustrator up to six times per hour to fix this.
In detail: keyboard input for character related dimensions will stop working. I am still able to delete input, but cannot add input using the keyboard (the delete key is the only key being registered by Illustrator in the Properties Panel). For example, if my text is set to 35pt font, I…2 votes -
Properties panel shows "no selection" when object is selected
I'm using Illustrator version 27.1.1 on windows 10 64 bit.
When selecting and object, the Properties panel shows "no selection" and some crucial features (like the reflecting buttons) are missing.I'm attaching a screenshot, where you can see that there is an object selected, but it doesn't appear as such in the Properties panel.

The Properties panel is slow to respond
If nothing is selected and artboard info is showing, when I make a selection it takes forever for it to change from the artboard info to showing the selection info/options for transform, appearance, align, etc.
Sometimes I have to click on a different panel tab (to make the property panel go behind) and click back on properties for all of that to appear again.
It's such a waste of time doing all the extra clicking or waiting ... or both.Also, when I have an object or group sitting ON the artboard (the only artboard in the document), why does…

Properties panel interface spacing bug
The Properties panel is displayed with extra spaces between all the fields,
it's to the point where you have to scroll down to view the quick actions.I tried resetting preferences and reinstalling yet it's still showing in the same way.
I'm trying zooming in and out on the panel with Ctrl + mouse wheel but it doesn't seem to work.
Here are some screenshots of the Properties panel
Any proposition to find a solution to this annoying interface bug is welcome.
Thank you
