Using the Direct Selection tool on a path, whilst holding ‘shift’ to drag causes crashes/can’t preview.
Mac Mojave 10.14.1 > Illustrator 23.0.1.
This issue does one of 3 things:
1/ the path repeatedly snaps back to the origin (Annoying).
2/ the path extends vertically top to bottom off the artboard causing ‘cannot preview’ issue. Although this is fixed with an undo and selecting view using GPU/CPU (Really Annoying).
3/ Illustrator hangs and becomes unresponsive (basically hammers my system resources) and I have to force quit or it just crashes (Ridiculously Annoying).

Layer stack not retaining element color
When adding new elements the layer stack indicator does not retain the color of the previously added layer - it switches to the color of the current element. In the attached image, I am using yellow rectangles to evenly space blue rectangles. The elements in the stack were added in sequence using copy/paste keyboard shortcuts. As you can see in the attached image, the current element is colored yellow but shows up as blue in the layer stack.

No swatches showing for any panels
When I open up a file using the open with option inside of Windows explorer, my swatches are always empty no matter what panel I'm using. Colors panel, etc. The only way it doesn't seem to have this bug is if I'm inside of Adobe Illustrator and I open a file from inside of the program. This is very inconvenient.
1 voteThis is working as expected. You have opened a png file and since a png file will not have Illustrator swatches it does not show up.
If you create a new Illustrator file will then see Illustrator swatches. Once you have created a new Illustrator file you can place the png file inside it. -

Welcome screen doesn't resize to scaled display on Mac
Welcome screen shows up bigger than available screen space when the Mac's display is set to scaled. This leaves out important buttons and info. Welcome screen and document windows should resize to fit screen when opened. Already open documents should at least align to the top right corner if the display scale is changed while Illustrator has open documents. This allows access to the semaphore buttons on the window bar.

Menus are too large
This is only an Illustrator problem where the drop down menus and dialog pop ups are way too large compared to the rest of the user interface. I've tried every solution. Running this on Windows 10 Pro on a 2K screen.

Font Drop Down List - HUGE
My font drop-down list in Illustrator huge. I can scroll through the list and select a font, but if I search for a font my list gets cut-off and I can't scroll or arrow down past where it gets cut off. I'm on the most recent and updated version of Illustrator, I've restarted my computer, and uninstalled and re-installed Illustrator. This is only happening in Illustrator. It's been a couple of days that I've noticed this bug. I'm working on a PC. I'm working on a company computer and a company licensed version of Adobe CC.

GPU Preview displaying hidden shapes
In GPU Preview, turning off the visibility of a shape in the layers panel doesn't always hide the shape - it still remains on screen.
If I switch to Outline view the shape is hidden correctly.
If I switch back to GPU Preview the shape is still being displayed.
I have to reboot Illustrator to get GPU Preview to work correctly again.
And then it goes wrong again very soon afterwards.This has now happened several times.
I've also had shape fills showing as incorrect colors in GPU Preview, eg. a square with a white fill, suddenly started displaying as…3 votes -
Drag-n-drop across documents to locked layer warning
Please see the animation.
I have two documents, one with current layer is locked.
When I try to drag my artwork from other document (in this locked layer, about which I very often don't remember), AI should have said something about 'You are attempting to paste or drag into one or more layers that are locked or hidden. Do you want to unlock and show all appropriate layers?'...But in my case it does not.
I remember seeing it from time to time, but often it stops appearing.
I have nothing as result, no warning, no message, nothing.
And it's…15 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.1.1 which is available worldwide now.

Asset Export Incorrectly Clipping
If you create a filled rounded rectangle with a 1 pt border, add it to the Asset Export panel and export, the end result is noticeably clipped. Even though the shape may be aligned to be pixel perfect and the stroke aligned so that it should be inside, the output shows the frame is now non uniform in terms of stroke width.
If you didn't use stroke, you probably won't notice the inaccuracy.
See the attached image and the edges are clearly truncated.
Says there are some fundamental alignment issues that need to be addressed.
