Properties panel broken since last update
Since the last update the Properties panel is broken. Even if there is enough room for all information in the panel, it shows up cropped, with a scrollbar on the side. I have to drag the panel out of it’s window and then back again to fix this, every time I start Illustrator.

Constraint not working properly in Properties
I'm using adobe illustrator cc 24.1.2 on Windows 10 v 1903, The constraint function in the properties tab is not working properly for me. When i press the constraint button, the height and width proportion should stay the same when i change one number, but it changes them to be slightly off. If i make a circle 500 x 500, constrain the dimensions, and change the height to 250, it changes the width to 249.499. It doesn't matter what numbers i use, it will always change the other dimension to be slightly off what it should be.

Horizontal and vertical paths have 0.0001pt height/width
Illustrator v24.1
macOS 10.15.4All strictly horizontal lines have 0.0001pt “H Value”, while all vertical lines have
0.0001 pt “W Value”. If I manually type 0 in these fields, it reverses back to 0.0001pt. Using up and down arrows does not set this value to zero either.
These same lines are 0pt height/width in the previous version of Illustrator.1 vote -
Bug: Properties Window - Transform Width & Height Increments Changed
When adjusting W: or H: values using arrow keys or middle mouse button scroll I expect to be able to increment by .125 inch values which has been the default for my time using AI. Now I increment by 1 inch by default, CTRL allows increments by .5 inches, and Shift increments by 8 inches! All of these are off by 8X from previous defaults.
I noticed this with the previous update.
Currently configuration:

Artboard Size in Properties Panel Arrow Key Enlarge/Reduce Increments Incorrect After 24.1.1 Update
As of the latest patch (24.1.1), when using the up and down arrow keys to change the size of an artboard in the Properties panel, the increments are now full inches instead of 0.1 inch increments as they were in the previous version (24.1). Is there a way to revert this behavior back? This glitch also occurred a few years ago and was fixed in a subsequent update, so I'm hopeful it can be fixed again.
On a related note, holding control (on Windows) and using the up and down arrow keys adjust the size by 0.6 inches which I…

Properties panel auto select field contents
Illustrator v24.0
Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6Since the Properties panel was introduced in Illustrator, it won't allow selecting an item, then click once on a field name, such as W for the width field, and automatically select the contents of the field so you can then just enter a new value or use the arrow keys to change the value.
It works fine in the Control bar and other panels, just not in Properties.
It works in the Properties panels of InDesign and Photoshop, as well.
Was hoping it would be fixed in Illustrator 2020, but still not.4 votesSeems to be fixed in recent version of Illustrator.
Clicking a caption of a filed in Properties (if the caption exists for a value) does select the whole value, like it does in other panels.
Please verify and reply back.

Rotation resets to 0
If you rotate groups the properties panel always resets the rotation value back to 0 meaning I have to remember the value I used if I want to put it back or if I want other shapes to match the rotation at a later time.

Adobe Illustrator point location does not move when changing Y coordinates value by a hundredth.
Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.1 on Windows 10 x64 Version 10.0.18362
After giving an object a stroke of 5 and attempting to move a point in the bottom left corner, I discovered that it was not being consistent when being changed in the hundredths. When changing it, it appears to be the same as whatever position it was before. I expected the Y value 483.61 to put the location of the point somewhere in between the coordinates 483.6 and 483.611, but this is not the case.

Character Information in Properties Panel not appearing
When I click on any text the Character information in the properties panel immediately disappears. The character information is only visible before I click with the Text tool. This is making it REALLY difficult to work with text.

Cannot press TAB to select font weight in Properties
On the Properties panel, pressing the TAB key when you are in the fonts dropdown jumps directly to the font size, NOT the font weight as it should.
In the Character panel the behaviour is correct.

Illustrator 24.0.1 ignoring me when I enter a new dimension for my closed path with stroke
Hi all, I'm cross-posting here from the Adobe Community forums as suggested by someone who was able to reproduce this issue. I'm running Illustrator 24.0.1 on my 2015 Macbook Pro with MacOS Catalina 10.15.1. I actually just updated to Illustrator 24.0.1 to see if this problem would go away, but it still persists.
I'm currently trying to increase the height dimension of my closed path in the Transform panel by +0.0001 inch, or .03 points (trying to transform the height from 23.157 pt to 23.16 pt, to match two other closed paths). However, whenever I click the object, input the…

Properties Panel won't stay open
When I have the navigator and the properties panel on the right side on top of each other, the properties panel will close if I expand the navigator and vice versa. This has not been a problem in other versions.

Object size change?
Now, the transformation panel reflects the size of a shape plus the thickness of the outline if there is one.
For example, a rectangle of 100x100 with an outline (in the middle) of 1 displays a size of 101x101, 102x102 if the outline is external and 100x100 if the outline is internal.
It's a very confusing change! The previous behavior was much more talkative.
I understand that this reflects the actual size, including the outline thickness, but this should be an option. I did not see myself 3 decimal digits when I want a rectangle of 100x100! :)6 votesIf this happens for you, please check the 'Use Preview Bounds' in Preferences > General. When it’s enabled, Ai will treat strokes and effects as a part of the object’s bounds.

Opacity Issues when Selecting Whole Layer
In the Layers panel, when you click the Select All circle to the side of the layer, all of the objects on that layer become selected. If you then go to the Properties panel and adjust the opacity of those objects, they appear to become more transparent yet you cannot see through them. ALSO, once you go back to selecting individual objects, or even manually selecting multiple objects, the opacity changes are not indicated in the Properties panel. Rather, they say 100%, even if you've adjusted the opacity by selecting all in the layers panel. I've attached a video for…
