Selecting text works poorly
According to the screenshot, when I press the left mouse button in the place represented by the red triangle, the above text is selected. This place is completely beyond the scope of the word "Nature".

Editing Adobe PDF Presets crashes Illustrator
When trying to edit a Adobe PDF Preset in Illustrator it crashes on hitting OK to save. I have tried deleting all preferences and uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator but no luck. For most things this would not be an issue since I can overwrite most setting by saving it in InDesign and overwriting with the same name (Why can't we do this in Illustrator?) This is happening on Illustrator version 26.0.3 on Mac OS 12.0.1 Intel iMac. I have added a quick screen grab. It doesn't matter what I try to edit.

Localization bug with variable font panel
As shown, this is a variable font with 3 axes, the second axis is named "Italic", but it is incorrectly displayed as a localized text. I'm sure there is no localized name for this axis in the font file.
The font file can be downloaded from here: https://symphosizer.wearecollins.com/fonts/ABCSymphonyDisplayVariable.ttf

If the vote is low, is the insect I found a bug a bird?
Let me tell you from the beginning, I'm not trying to get more votes here..
What does voting change? Does it produce a solution? What does it matter if I get 1,000,000,001 votes?
For example, there is a bug in illustrator and I prove it. But vote 3 etc. 5 Does this cease to be a bug? What a stupid app.
I have serious doubts that Uservoice is cumbersome.In the meantime, check my profile if you want to see my questions.

SVG - save as in illustrator version 27.0.1 - moving objects off artboard sporadically
The latest version seems to not be playing well with SVG formats. I have reverted back to 26.5.2 and the issue resolved itself.
When saving an SVG, everything looks fine. When it is opened again, all the of the objects are sporadically distributed on and off of the artboard. I have never seen this issue before and my save settings are the same.1 vote -
Expanding a path with a gradient doesn't expand, just creates a group with the same path
I want to expand a gradient applied to a path so that I have bands of colour as vectors in place of the gradient.
I have been using this tool in this way successfully but this week there seems to be a bug: it works until it doesn't and then doesn't work at all.
If I quit Illustrator and reopen everything it might work again, but with some paths it doesn't work at all. Please see my screenshots.

Selection and Direct selection tool behaviour errors
The issues have to do with what items are selected, and which properties are displayed in panels (appearance and attributes) when using the selection tool and the direct selection tool on various configurations of item.
Please see the attached AI file for a thorough QA breakdown of this issue (s).
The most impactful error can be seen when using the Direct Selection tool on an item(path or text) in a group which contains only that one single item.
The expected behaviour should be the same as for any other usage of the direct select tool: it selects the item within…

Illustrator is always disconnected from Creative Cloud
Illustrator refuses to load my fonts and color library. It doesn't sync with the creative cloud until much later if at all. I'm a design intern and it's extremely important I use our specific font and colors so not being able to access this really sets me back on my projects.

save dialog not appearing when trying to save newly created file windows 10 64bit regarding Illustrator 27.0
Like many others, when I create a new file, draw something and try to save, save as or export the newly created file, Illustrator does not display the save dialog box.
I have discovered that if I open up a file created previously, it will save without issues.
Since discovering this, to get it to save the new content, I needed to open up an old file, delete contents, draw new content and Save As a new name.Although this method works, the issues remain, I have now rolled back from the latest update to 26.5.1 and the issue is…

Please Fix: Function "create outline" unpredictably results in pixel error
Converting a path by the "create outline" function unpredictably results in pixel errors. See pictures:
Pic1.: Path object in pixel preview. Position is correct.
Pic2.: Result after applying "create outline" function.
Position of outline path is wrong in fourth place after comma leading to a grey fragment. The only solution is to repair every outline in a very time consuming process. In my view is a critical error when trying to work pixel perfect. Please solve this issue!2 votes -

When using the new Rotate View Tool (v25.4.1) to rotate the view to e.g. 90°, Alt-scroll zooming doesn't zoom to the mouse pointer and the scroll bars are hyper sensitive.

GPU renderer fails on complex appearance stacks involving Knockout Group
I have an appearance stack that uses a scatter brush at 0% opacity to knockout parts of the underlying fill, thanks to Knockout Group being checked on this object.
It does not seem to work on the GPU renderer.
Some experimentation suggests that it does work if I shift the overall object's transparency from Hard Light to Normal. I haven't tried other opacity modes.
I have included a file with an example path, as well as screengrabs of how it renders on the CPU and GPU previews, and the data given by the "system info" button in the Performance pane…

color picker - thin grey line between comparison swatches
Today I noticed a thin grey line between the comparison color swatches on my color picker window. It puts a border between the swatches, meaning I can't directly compare their color. It's driving me nuts!
I checked with coworkers, I'm the only one having this issue. It happens regardless of what document I'm working on. All my coworkers and myself are using the latest version of illustrator CC and are using up-to-date windows 10.

Illustrator Fails to request Disk access cannot access file system i.e. cant save the files!
I have a freshly set up m1 mac Illustrator 24.6.1 and I was stumped today when using Illustrator for the first time on it. When after working on a file I could not save it. Save, Save as, Save a Copy,"Save Before Your exit - save" all failed to do anything. I then tried opedning a file... I discovered that Illustrator had failed to get permission from Mac OS to work with files. So I was stuck with my work that needed to be saved!
I opened system preferences => security & privacy=>privacy, and then file settings, and saw that…1 vote -
