text edit
Editing text in Illustrator 2019 is so difficult -- there's a heavy lag, and it is incredibly frustrating. This is size 12 font, small file -- there is no reason why editing this text should be lagging, and I've noticed others having the same problem. Please fix this ASAP!

"Envelope distort > Make with top object" is warping/distorting text.
I've seen this issue in a lot of online forums, but found no answer. I'm using the CC trial version, fairly new to Illustrator.
Online tutorials show users creating a shape > typing text > converting text to outline > move shape to front > selecting shape and text > Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Top Object. It shapes the text perfectly to shape, without distorting the font or curving the letters.
But when I follow these steps, but my text always comes out wavy and distorted within the shape. I've tried Envelope Options and deselecting "Distort Appearance"…

Autosave disables itself
Windows 10, AI CC (latest release)
Autosave disables itself. When AI crashes - as it does - I get nothing.
I set auto-save for every 2 minutes in preferences. Then, after Illustrator crashes, I go back in to preferences to find it has unchecked that option. Nothing. I lose a load of work.
There are no expletives for how I feel about this. PLEASE sort it out?

Dégradé de forme libre / Freeform Lines / bug
Bonjour, j'utilise le nouvelle outil dégradé de forme libre avec plaisir. Cependant, je rencontre un problème récurrent : lorsque je sélectionne un objet contenant un dégradé de forme libre contenant 4 points et 2 couleurs, l'un des points disparait systématiquement. J'ai vérifié si l'un des points étaient en dehors de l'objet, ce n'est pas le cas. Je rencontre ce problème sur plusieurs objet, dans des documents différents. Est-ce un bug ? Avez-vous une solution à ce problème ? Merci

Colours Suddenly change and go lighter
Running latest Creative Cloud on El Capitan, 10.11.5.
When working on a file, all of my colors suddenly get lighter, almost like I'm working within a group. When I look at the swatch color values they have the same hex as a previous doc, but don't display the same.
As a quick test, I exported the corrupt version as a jpeg and rectified the colour in photoshop by altering the levels.
At the time of the switch I was working with the rotate and extrude tool.

Switching application windows causes window to resize off screen
I'm not sure if this is an Illustrator issue or a window resizer issue (I use Divvy), but I'm using CC 2019 on OS 10.14 and every time I switch between two applications (or another space for that matter), my Illustrator window resizes off the screen. Is anyone else having this issue?
