1. Maintain Width and Height proportions lock button in Properties panel behaves as if locked, while the button is not pressed

   The Ai I'm running has this strange bug where upon making a new document the Transform section under the Properties Panel will have the 'Maintain W & H' lock activated; however the icon does not indicate as such. It will show the function as in active.

   So every time I were to scale an item with no intention of keeping it's initial proportions, the function will scale it proportionately.

3. Can't click on properties dropdowns

   I just updated AI to the newest release and suddenly I'm unable to access extended properties not displayed on the main panel nor will it let me select and change colors via the properties panel. I also don't like that you've all decided what tools I work with constantly, I need to be able to customize what I need to keep open for my workflow optimization. Because if I could, I could work around this bug.

4. Replace Symbol widget missing from new Properties Panel - Needs Consistent Behavior

   Maybe I'm missing something, but if I have a symbol sitting on an artboard, the Properties Panel will have the "Replace Symbol" drop-down widget so that I can easily change it.

   However - if that same symbol is grouped, or displayed under a clipping mask - direct-selecting it (Control + Click) - this option will be missing from the Properties panel.

   CC 2017 did not behave this way - and the toolbar at the top of the window would always show this option when a symbol was selected. For users who utilize a lot of symbols within working files, or has to group things, makes replacing a symbol way more difficult than it was in CC 2017, and seems to be an enormous step backwards in terms of usability.

   Can this be fixed so that it shows up consistently?

5. Properties panel contents scaling and freezing

   The contents of the Properties panel is scaling down to tiny sizes. It doesn't reset until you quit and reopen Illustrator (CC 2018).

   The scaling happens with ⌘+scroll while hovering on the panel. The contents will scale up or down as long as you are holding the ⌘, but if you let it go while the contents are scaled down the panel with freeze at that scale and won't respond to ⌘+scroll anymore. The panel's functions still seem to work fine after this.

6. Can't Edit Text in a Group/Clipping Mask

   In 2018 AI CC, after using a group/clipping mask with text on the inside, you can not edit your text when you double click on the clipping group/mask directly. The Properties panel doesn't display the character settings. See my screenshot

   So, to get around this, I have to cut the text out, paste on the main layer, edit it and then cut/paste it back inside my group/clipping mask.
   Or, release the entire mask, make my edits then re-group/mask it afterwards. Or I have to open the separate character panel.

   As opposed to the way it should. The only way the Property panel display the character settings is if you create/edit your text ONLY on the main layer.

7. Properties panel bug

   When you edit word in properties panel and you want to change first few letters in word from normal to bold. It will show you change but when you deselect type tools it will change entire word to bold. But if you go trough type panel everything is fine.

   And if you change stroke size in properties panel to 0,5 pt it will apply 5 pt, for 0,25 pt 25 pt and for 0,75pt 75pt stroke.

8. Properties panel causing inconsistent tab group behaviour

   The new Properties panel has a fixed width. When it's in a tab group with panels that don't have a fixed width (eg. the Layers panel), the tab group exhibits different behaviours depending on whether the tab group is docked or free-floating.

   When the tab group is free floating, switching between the tabs causes the panel to change width according to each tab's setting, which is what you would expect. Eg. Go to the Layers tab and make the panel very wide. Switch to the Properties tab and the panel auto-shrinks. Switch back to the Layers panel and the width auto-expands back to where you set it.

   But when the tab group is docked to the side of the open document then no matter what width you set for a panel, the width auto-shrinks when the Properties panel is selected but doesn't auto-expand to it's previous width when you switch to a different tab. Eg. Start with the Layers panel and expand the width. Switch to the Properties tab and the panel auto-shrinks as expected. But switch back to the Layers tab and the panel does not auto-expand back to the previous width setting as it should, instead it stays at the Properties panel width (which is a useless width for most other panels)

   This makes it very difficult to include the Properties panel in a tab group with panels of varying width, such as the Layers panel.
