Visual glitch prevents using Illustrator when file is opened from Finder before launching Illustrator
As the title describes, this glitch occurs consistently whenever launching a file from finder before launching Illustrator.
The file seems to open, as the layers can be seen in the layers window, but the main document editing window is occupied by the welcome menu. The welcome menu cannot be closed, and the files shown in the recent section cannot be opened. See image 1.
The only way to exit the menu without closing Illustrator is to open another Illustrator file through Finder or through File > Open. Then, another visual glitch will take place: the tabs used to select the…

Transform Each for groups
Transform Each currently rotates multiple groups around a common center point, counter intuitive to what the name implies. Does what the name says when used on vectors.

"An Unknown Error Has Caused the Operation to Fail" Message When Trying to export TIFF.
iMac running OS X 10.14.2
Illustrator CC 2019Whenever I try to export an artboard as a TIFF using "Export As", I get the ubiquitous, yet EXTREMELY vague error message, "An Unknown Error Has Caused the Operation to Fail" a couple of seconds after Illustrator starts to process the image (progress bars gets about 25% of the way).
Now, the weird part is that I have no problem exporting the same artboard as a PNG or JPG using the same "Export As' option.
And before you ask, yes I uninstalled and then reinstalled Illustrator but it's still having the same…

Prefix in graphs
Using a prefix for the axis in a graph works fine, but only with positive numbers. Negative numbers soon get into trouble however. $-50 is not helpful at all.

Width tool messes up the width points when a path is extended / shortened / cut
Maybe this feature exists already but I haven't been able to find it.
When using the width tool, it would be nice if you could "freeze" the width nodes in their position, so you could extend or shorten the path. Today the nodes adjust to the new length of the path, messing up all your previous work.

Issues running Illustrator 23.0.4 and OS Mojave 10.14.5 on a Mac
- Every time I move the cursor, instead of moving it it acts as if I had clicked and dragged, selecting an imaginary area.
- When I try to select an item, the cursor will not do it, so I click twice, then three times, and then - it finally selects, and sometimes catches up with a delay, clicking the second and third time and mucking the selection. I have reinstalled illustrator and went to the apple store to reinstall the OS, with no resolution. The system runs ok with other applications, shows issues with Photoshop as well and is slows when…

Ctrl+arrows stop at underscores in Save-Export-other 'system' dialogues, but don't in native dialogues. We heavy rely on underscores in our naming convention, so please make it work as it should be.

Change saving process to equal Indesign / Photoshop's
As you likely know, Illustrator and Google Backup & Sync are not working a long. Discussions with lame work arounds are given, but maybe you can just use the same saving method as Photoshop or Indesign. These programmes work fine with Google Drive / backup & sync, so why not use that method instead?

Mouse response too slow to use Illustrator. Clicking on the file menu causes a 5 second delay to open it.
Mouse response too slow to use Illustrator. Clicking on the file menu causes a 5-second delay to open it. By the time 3 seconds have passed, the user clicks again. By the time Illustrator catches up, the menu is opened, then closed from the two clicks. UNUSABLE! The product should be shut down and users should be getting a refund or face a class action lawsuit. Worst business decision EVER to move this app to the cloud and take away the desktop version in the process!

Data Recovery
There's a weird glitch happening where it's like 'recovering data' ONLY once I start typing - and it keeps inserting an image I have previously deleted.
It's also giving me warnings when I open the document about it - I've tried 'ignore' I've tried to replace the file. Nothing makes a difference, it keeps randomly inserting the image again when I type.
I tried setting it aside, thinking it would only do it once... no, it will keep inserting more and more if I keep typing.

Illustrator CC 23.0.2 does not open files and cannot start new file. Toolbars and Menus are inaccessable.
All I can see after opening or trying to open files is a window that is hiding parts of illustrator file - I can see part of this on the right side and on bottom. No menus or tools are available to use, and the progress wheel just keeps spinning. Very frustrating. I am using my Illustrator CC 23.0.2 on IMac OS 10.14.3. I have updated Illus CC, restarted the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted computer, etc. I have had to resort to using Illus CS6 in order to work. The attached image is what I get when trying to…

Shear in Transform Panel doesn't add numbers
In the Transform Panel I use the mouse wheel to adjust the Shear of an object but it does not show the degrees that it is moving. The object does adjust but the panel only reports 0°. As I scroll with the mouse wheel I can see the number flickering. When I click on the selection arrow I can select a number but that only adds to the number of degrees instead of telling me how many degrees I have adjusted it. I have attached a short video where I am adjusting the shear using the mouse wheel
