1. Turn off Smooth Tool slider

   I'm not sure if this is a bug or I just don't know what I'm doing so apologies if this is no the right place to post.

   A few days ago I chose Object > Path > Smooth rather than using the Smooth tool as I normally do. A slider popped up which was actually rather useful. But now whenever I hold option to use the smooth tool (while using the Pencil), this slider dialog pops up directly over the area I am trying to see. Is there a way to turn this back off? Thanks!

   The latest Beta 28.8.0.19 now remembers the position of this panel and better picks the initial position.

   Please try it, see if it makes it any more tolerable, and leave your comments.

2. Back with a vengeance: Constrain (holding Shift key) doesn't work with Smart Guides turned on

   This is an older bug that was fixed a while ago but seems to be back with a vengeance.

   It is now happening in Adobe Illustrator 28.4 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1.

   See this link:

   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/36247978-constrain-shift-key-doesn-t-work-with-smart-guid

   When smart guides are on none of the constrain features (holding down shift) work properly, whether it's rotating, reflecting, etc. It just sort of jumps back to one position, often the original position, and won't move. The little magenta text that lets you know the angle etc. also goes a little crazy and looks like it's trying to display a few different words on top of each other.

3. Modal panels for Free Transform and Dimension tools get hidden under other floating panels

   Free Transform Tool and Dimension Tool have several modes presented in small floating modal panels and appear only when the tool is picked.

   However, their z-order makes them hide under other floating panels, making it hard to find these pseudo-panels if a user choose to have real panels floating in the spot.

   It’s easy to locate them by hitting Tab, since they doesn’t get hidden like actual panels and toolbars, but you have to know the trick.

   I think their order should be above and not below.

5. 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!

6. Offer to delete dimensions if related objects are deleted

   Dimension in Ai are live and follow the objects they we snapped to (only if NOT get moved on their own or together with the objects, which is stupid and should be fixed: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47739104)

   But another problem is unbound dimensions, that don’t have an anchored parent anymore.
   Ai offers nothing if I delete an object that has a dimension attached to it
   It won’t offer me restore the link if I paste it back.
   If a dimension was bound to two objects, and delete one, there is no way I can move the second one and keep it live, it gets expanded immediately... There is no way for me to reattach the loose end of a one-legged dimension to another object.

   At least offer us to delete these automatically, and offer an ability to not show the choice again and reset the warning, if needed.

8. Ai Pen Tool keeps snapping to points

   The Pen Tool in 28.7.1 keeps snapping to points, even when View/Snap to Point is off, Smart Guides are off, and in Preferences Snap to Point is off.

   Very annoying. Would be nice when the tool itself had a switch to toggle snap / not snap while drawing. (like the Magnet in Premiere...)

10. Very wired and bad line jitters in "Accurate" Fidelity mode in Pencil tool

    I'm using the Pencil tool quite a lot in "Accurate" Fidelity mode, but it seems like this mode somehow got worse with the last updates? Did they change anything with the Pencil tool?

    Does anyone suffer the same results while drawing with some speed?

    There are these wired bumps in a lot of sections, which are absolutely NOT accurate.

    I know I can smooth the lines, but that smoothes everything. For some drawings I really like the accurate mode — but not this way...

11. 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 size, and this size does not change when we increase the mentioned parameter.

    It makes the Reshape’s control points to be obscured completely when we use larger sizes for markers.
    It makes it unusable for users who does not know how the tool works.

    And Adobe does not make learning it anywhere simple: try to search for 'Reshape Tool' at https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/ and fail miserably to locate it fast enough.
    Try Discover (rather useless) and get only the position of the tool and no how-to articles.

    Here are a link to the dedicated article: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/adjust-path-segments.html#stretch-parts-of-a-path (it fails to load at me now though)

    Here is a another link, form a Ai10 manual, with an image that somewhat explains the tool: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/393317/Adobe-Illustrator-10.html?page=9#manual

    Finally, take a look at the attached GIF.
    The frame around a clicked point with the Reshape tool is visible as the smallest marker’s size... and when I make the size larger, clicking a point with the tool just doesn’t change anything visually! The frame is completely obscured! The tool works, but new users will hardly understand how to make it work.

    Please fix it.

12. Dimension tool doesn't measure correctly

    So, I went to measure a dieline with the Dimension tool and it measured 9". However, when i selected the dieline and went to the Properties it said it was 8.5". When I actually printed it out and measured it, it was 8.5". This tool is not working correctly. See attached images for further explanation/verification.

    Maybe I am doing something wrong? Can't figure out what that would be though. Thank you for looking into this!

    The problem was in the '0' picked as the Precision value in Dimension Tool Options instead of default '0.00'. If you have this value changed by itself, without you ever changing it manually — please comment.

17. 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 try again).
    Instead, I try to start from the rightmost point and click the leftmost one then.

    ...but Ai now plays even dumber, it doesn’t allow me to FINISH my dimension! It SELECT the existing one instead, although I am in THE MIDDLE of CREATING a new one!

    OK, I trick it and snap to the point at the bottom — but then I get a skewed dimension instead of a parallel line, and there is no Shift I can quickly tap to force it to be orthogonal, and now I have to draaaag over to the right to make it behave — which is a separate request I made here:

    'Sure', you might say, 'it’s your own fault, you made the offset for extension line to be zero!'
    Yes, I did. I need it to be zero. Our standards require it. And yours seemingly permits selecting other objects while in the middle of creating operations....

    Curvature tool has the same exact problem, reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34578331

    Get your shit together, Adobe.

    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.
