Reshape Tool’s markers don’t conform the Anchor Points, Handle, and Bounding Box Display Size' parameter
Reshape Tool is a rather hidden tool within Illustrator’s toolbox.
It never received any updates (as many other tools) in last decades, and got even worse thanks to one specific improvement.Illustrator today allows to increase size of anchor points, handle, and other control markers (referred below as just 'markers') with a dedicated parameter in the Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section). It helps to transform and edit paths on higher DPI displays — a good feature.
...but Reshape Tool marks its control points with squares slightly larger than a normal point... a normal point of a smallest marker’s…

Dimension tool prefers to snap to or edit an existing dimension instead of starting or completing a new one
Take a look at the GIF.
I need to measure the width of one square, and then measure the overall width of both squares.I create the first dimension with no problem.
However, when I try to create the second one, Ai plays dumb.When I click the leftmost point, the tool thinks that I am to EDIT the existing dimension (although I am clicking and not click-and-dragging, and I am clicking an endpoint of it, and not in the middle!)
Well... I can lock the first dimension (which would require me to abort, select the first one, lock, and…

Width tool started work weird after update 27.9
After this update, width tool on closed shapes instead of acting like they are shapes with continuous edges, it cuts the width at a point.

Oh and in some cases width point not showing.

Mockup (Beta) in Illustrator not working due to PARM error
I am trying to use the Mockup (Beta) tool, and every time i get the "the operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [PARM]" message and the action cancels.
I'm attempting to mockup using a compound path and a png. I've updated and reinstalled both the app and the mockup installer. I've also tried using the newest and previous versions of Illustrator. I've also removed my preferences and still no luck.
Any ideas? I've used Mockup on this computer multiple times without error.

Making a regular triangle with Star tool duplicates the path
Scissor tool cuts lines and duplicates them (completely broken)
Make a triangle by selecting the star and changing it to 3 lines (triangle), now cut one of the lines with the scissor. It duplicates the shape! This bug is seen across multiple shapes and lines. The scissor tool is broken along with selecting individual points often creates duplicate lines.
The quality of adobe products has just gone downhill in the last 5 years.

Dimensions get expanded when moved, with or without related objects
I can somewhat understand dimension object get expanded when they are moved away from the measured object... although this should not happen.
But why the dimension objects get expanded when they are moved WITH the measured object? What, Ai can’t distinguish moving form other transformation? What if need to move my artwork to just insert something else — what, this makes all of my dimensions instantly dead?
Don’t expand dimensions until a user has an clear intention to do it!

Zoom with Alt+wheel is way too sensitive in new v27.3 to the point of being unusable
This has just started with the new update to v27.3 using the Alt and the scroll wheel now causes intermittent massive jumps in zoom. Updated all my Logitech software. Running latest everything so reverting to 27.2 as this makes Illustrator unusable. How on earth did this get through any sort of testing?
40 votesThe fix for this issue has been rolled out with Illustrator 27.3.1 release available through Creative Cloud Desktop.
Please update to 27.3.1 version to ensure you do not run into this issue.

Can't drag objects after creating text objects
V. 28.4.1. As soon as I create any text object, dragging objects is imposible, Illustrator won't let me move anything. Everything seems fine, until I create a text Objects, then moving anything is simply imposible. Restarting doesn't seem to work.

Dimension Tool Options dialog always uses points for Offset and Extension fields, even though document units differ
Dimension Tool Options respect my chosen Type and Stroke units, but ignore General units, when I open Options dialog or Properties.
If I choose, say, millimeters for my document, I want to define offsets end extensions in millimeters as well, not points.
Does not help if I set these in Document Setup as well.
Please make these consistent!6 votes -

Group Selection and Selection Tool (V) selecting individual points
When using the group selection tool, I hi light and object by clicking on it and then try and move it. Rather than moving the object hi lighted, the tool selects a single point - grabs it - and I move that single point instead. This often leads to a crash of the application.
15 votesThe solution to this problem is to disable the dedicated 'Show handles when multiple anchors are selected' option in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.
Usually it is off by default and does not interfere.
However, when it’s enabled, Illustrator displays all handles for all selected art when Group Selection tool is used, and it can lead to accidental handle changes when moving the art.
If you have it disabled but still have problems — please comment back.
