1. Selections are automatically deselected after a few seconds

   Lately, Illustrator will deselect anything I select with either the selection or direct selection tool (doesn't matter which one) and it makes for a very frustrating experience. Anyone have an idea to fix?

   I am running Dell (windows) latest AI version
   Core i9 2.9 ghz
   32GB RAM
   Windows 10 Enterprise ("1903)
   have a eGPU hooked up external 4k monitor with Radeon card.

2. Selecting a second image with a marquee doesn’t include it in the bounding box

   The problem here is with image objects. It matters how you select them. If you select them the wrong way, you get no selection handles, or scaling handles.

   Using just the regular selection tool, if you Shift + drag over one image object to select it, then shift drag over another image object, you get no selection handles for scaling. If you shift drag over both image objects you also get no selection handles.

   If you shift and click on one image object, then shift click the other, it works fine.
   If you drag a single selection over both image objects it works fine.

   If you are selecting a vector object and an image object, it only works properly if you first select the image object. As long as the image object is selected first, it doesn't matter how you do the selection, clicking or dragging. It always works. But, if you select the vector object first, it will only work if you click on the vector object first, then shift click on the image object. Or, drag a single selection over vector, then image object next.

3. Sometimes click outside artboard to deselect object not working

   Illustrator v24.0.2
   I don't know what triggers this, but sometimes there's error in selection that causing the object to be highlighted and can't deselect it by clicking outside artboard with selection tool.
   This is getting frustrating. I really hope Illustrator get a renewal just by rebuilding the program from scratch without changing the initial tool since the bug is just too much.

   workaround :
   If the object is a grouped object, then double click it to enter isolation mode, and double click again to get out.
   If not, then, save and close and re-open the document.

5. Select Objects Behind with Cmd/Ctrl click only works on filled objects

   https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/selecting-objects.html#select_behind_objects

   The option to select objects behind by holding Cmd/Ctrl and clicking sequentially works when clicking an object's fill, but not its path. As such, it doesn't work if 'Object Selection by Path Only' is enabled in preferences.

   I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work when clicking on a path, so I'm reporting as a bug.

6. Selection of all objects inside a group instead selects group

   In previous versions of Illustrator if I was inside a group, and I selected all the objects, it would treat it like typical multi-selection. Now once I've selected all the objects, Illustrator behaves as though I have selected the group.

   For example, I have 3 objects at 40% opacity. I group them, so now there's a group (with 100% opacity) containing 3 objects (at 40% opacity). When I enter the isolated group, and I select the first object, the transparency shows 40%. Nothing changes when I select the second object (still shows 40%). However, when I select the third object, it now shows 100% (the containing group transparency).

   I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it feels more like the former to me. If I wanted to select the group as a whole, I would back out of the currently active isolation group and select the group.

7. Selection tolerance does not apply for selecting handles and is broken for points

   Selection tolerance does not work for handles selection. You need to be very precise to select them. When smart guides are on, it works, but not when they are off.. For my type of work it's better to work without smart guides.

8. Random selections and wandering selection tool

   When selecting and deselecting layers, the software will select and deselect other layers on its own. The selection tool and text tool will wander on its own all over the screen when trying to select or add text.

9. Object stays selected in a locked layer

   Objects remain selected when I move them into a non-visible group/layer and lock the group/layer. It is not possible to deselect the object until you unlock and make visible the group. So far I've been able to recreate the problem every time I've tried.
