Center of rotation changes position
Win 11
Version 28.1
Trying to rotate a path from a custom rotation location by entering the rotation as a value, not manually.
I'd expect that you can rotate from any given position by entering rotational values. As it is, your selected rotation position will instead default to center.
Video attached.
Summary
When you select a custom position to rotate a shape from, it only works if you manually rotate the object. You can't select a custom position and then type in a rotational value via enter or double-clicking on the rotate tool.2 votes -

Windows 11 enhance pointer precision
If Windows 11 mouse setting "enhance pointer precision" is off, then Smart Guides and Snapping will not work in Adobe Illustrator v28.
Turning it back on will "fix" the Smart Guides/Snapping, but it'd be nice if we could turn this off and still have Illustrator do what Illustrator should do.2 votes -

Outline Mode Breaks display when toggling in and out of it.
I found that when I go into outline mode and then toggle the layers off of it it breaks my display a little bit. It fixes itself if I just undo the toggling and then Cmd Y to turn it off that way but it'd be nice not having to do that.

Illustrator often fails to build a smooth blend for paths with mismatched number of anchors
Take a look at the file attached and watch the images attached.
Two curves are blended: one has 4 anchors, another one has 5 anchors.
The blend Ai build has weird irregular slits in the middle.If you expand the blend and select problematic anchors, you’ll see that positions are correct, but some handles get interpolated wrongly.
This happens often in many other scenarios.
The current workaround is to add more points to blend, trying to guess and control which point get paired with another.
Another workaround is to cut curves in pieces and blend in chunks.11 votes -
Envelope Distort, Layers, and Illustrator Performance Bug
I've recently come across a bug with the envelope distortion tool. The bug happens when I use the Make with Warp effect on text. When this is applied, all the layers and sub-layers get frozen with no ability to see the thumbnail preview or to open or close any of the layers. This also affects the ability to hide or preview any layer, lock or unlock, and/or select anything in the layers.
This also causes Illustrator to run very high ram while causing unresponsiveness and difficulty in processing and sometimes the inability to save files.So far, the work-a-rounds that…
2 votesAs per the comment from the developer of the LTTR/INK plugin, this issue is going to be fixed in the upcoming update of the tool.

Add an option for the Transform effect to use visible bounds of a clipping object
Transform effect is one of the most powerful thing Ai has, compared to whole Repeats functionality. It’s versatile, it works with anything (unlike Repeats).
It has some flaws though, and one of them is the fact it always operates on the overall bounds of the objects, even if it is clipped. It can be useful for some cases, but most of the time we treat objects differently.
Check the image attached.
This combination of effect options applied to a clipped ellipse should produce a result like the green one at thee right... instead, the object is reflected from the right…12 votes -
Colocar novamente as opções da janela de traçado
Não é possível que uma versão nova tenha um retrocesso e fique limitada em algo tão básico como modificar os traçados, falei com o suporte e me confirmaram que realmente não tem mais, não posso modificar o traçado básico para ter pontas ou ser intermitente ou ficar interno, centrado ou externo à forma... que retrocesso é esse?

Illustrator won't export the correct artboards
Everytime i try to export a document, either as a PDF, JPEG, PNG, it won't export the correct artboards; say I have a document with 10 artboards and I want to export only 1 to 5, it will export all the pages. If I'm trying to export just one artboard as a JPEG, sometimes it will export another one randomly. Yes I'm making sure the artboards are labeled correctly, yes I type the correct numbers when exporting, but nothing seems to help, illustrator just exports whatever, I have to save the document, close it and open it again and try…

Illustrator 2024 Freezes When I Click Save
Anytime the Save button is pressed, it opens the dialog box and immediately freezes. All of the buttons are grayed out besides the option to save to Creative Cloud itself. I cannot save to my computer or hard drive (both have tons of memory). I tried to use Illustrator 2023 and it didn't work either.

Radial Repeat does not have the angle value exposed anywhere
We can control the number of instances, the exact radius, but the only way to define an angle is the round knob on canvas — which does not get dragged when you disable the bounding box, and which does not react when one holds Shift to constrain the angle.
Eyeballing is not the only way people create illustrations, you know.

Libraries are responding super slowly
Interacting with the libraries panel is SUPER slow.
Right clicking on an item takes ~ 15 seconds for the menu to show up.
Selecting something from the menu takes just as long to work.
"adding to library" take 10-15 seconds.
moving/organizing the items in the library takes 10-15 secondsWhile waiting, I can still use the drawing window/artboards no problem.
This started happening last week. (approx feb 26 2024)1 vote -
Bounding Box outside path and wrong dimensions
After 22 years of using Illustrator, the bounding box does not works anymore as it was used to.
When I draw a square of 10mm x 10mm with a centered path of 0,5mm the bounding box was always visualized precisely over the path and the dimensions of the square are 10x10mm
Since yesterday (01.18.2024) the bounding box is visualized outside the path and the dimensions are 10,5 x 10,5mm
Hope that is only a bug and not a featureVersion 28.1 (64 bit) on Windows 10
1 voteThis is a feature, and you can disable it.
Go to Preferences > General and turn off Use Preview Bounds option in the bottom right corner.
With this enabled Illustrator includes strokes into the measured bounds.
