Asks me to login to Creative Cloud when I try to "Find Fonts"
When I try to search for non-native fonts that I've downloaded after opening a file from a non-Adobe cloud program, it says I need to go to "Help" and log in to Creative CLoud. When I go to "Help", it says I'm already signed in. Restarting the program and trying again does not fix the problem.

Layer Hierarchy Glitch
I've stumbled onto a glitch which breaks my layer heirarchy when copying and pasting. I've outlined it in greater detail in the following thread. I've also attached the file where this occurs.
I've been able to reproduce these results when copying a layer which contains sub-layers with clipping masks. This problem persists even after the mask is removed, suggesting the layers remained glitched in some way after the fact. This is important because it means the glitch can potentially spread through your file as you work with no way of tracking it.

Illustrator uses UI scaling for menus from main display in dual display setup
Windows 10, version 1803
Illustrator CC (22.1)I have a dual display setup. Display 1 is 109ppi (27", 2560x1440) set to 100% UI scale in Windows settings. Display 2 is 282ppi (15.6", 3840x2160) set to 225% UI scale in Windows settings.
Illustrator is set to 'scale to higher supported scale factor'
If Illustrator is placed on display 2, with display 1 set as the 'main' or primary display in windows settings, Most UI items within Illustrator display as expected but menus and some other items become unreadable, because Illustrator appears to take its UI scaling setting from the display set…

Eyedropper, bounding box, shortcuts don't work, Text tool messed up...
Illustrator CC 23.0.2 - Mac Mojave
1) The eyedropper tool is pretty much useless, because it doesn't work on groups. I need to ungroup everything or make a compound path. This is very annoying.
2) the bounding box sometimes disappears and I cannot bring it back with the usual shortcut, i have to do it manually, sometimes even that doesn't work and I have to restart Illustrator. Also, the bounding box cannot be reset on objects like a perfect square when it's rotated 45 degrees. That means I cannot scale it properly. And also the bounding box always gets stuck…

Cannot change the blending mode when the gradient tool is selected (windows 10, ai 23.0.1)
Is this a bug or a feature? If this is a feature then it is very uncomfortable.
In version 22 it was possible to change the blending mode with the gradient tool selected.2 votes -
Unwanted spacing when hitting certain keys
Mac OS 10.14.1 running Illustrator 23.0.2
When entering text, certain keys will make the cursor skip around, not allowing the proper formatting of the text.I was trying to type G. Echinulata, and when I got to 'n', the cursor skipped backwards, separating the first and second part of the text. Using an upercase 'N' seems to work as expected.
I've experienced this with lowecase 'n', and 'f'.

copy and paste only works sporadically with Wacom tablet. All AI versions up to CC 23.0.2
From at least version CS6 to CC 23.0.2 copy/paste when using a Wacom tablet only functions some of the time and I can't figure out a pattern to the behaviour. Using a mouse on the same system had no such problems. This is either using shortcut keys or the Edit menu commands. Problem on Win 7 Pro, although I've heard reports of it occurring on other O/S. This may be a partner to the "sticky rotate centre" issue reported elsewhere and which also occurs on my system.
