GPU Issue in Touch Mode on Surface Pro (2017)
Hello,
I have been having a repeated issue with Illustrator leaving checkerboard artifacts onscreen when drawing in Touch Mode on my Surface Pro. After drawing for a while, Illustrator will crash. I've included a clip displaying the artifacts I'm talking about.A related issue happens at random when drawing, where the outline will display in red while I'm drawing it, then the line won't actually get drawn. Sometimes when selecting or scaling objects they will similarly display the scale happening, but then nothing actually happens. Usually Illustrator crashes after that.

Trim view not persistent when leaving isolation mode
When viewing a document in Trim View, and then isolating an object/group, leaving the Isolation Mode resets the view mode to the default, instead of returning or remaining in Trim View.
(Running Illustrator 23.0.4 on macOS 10.14.2)

Libraries Panel Disappears and cannot be accessed once reopened when you use Ctrl + [ after selecting a swatch or asset from it.
When editing objects colors using swatches, or pulling in an item from the library, if you immediately use Ctrl+[ to change the layer your selection is on, it closes the library panel. When reopened, none of the items in the library appear in the panel, and you cannot save changes to any assets you have currently open

Raster images should always honor the layer order and transparency values when scaling/moving/rotating
When moving/rotating/scaling Raster images should always honor the layer order and transparency values.
With "show images in outline mode" selected, I often drop in low res raster images on the bottom layer and outline them with the pen tool in higher level layers.. problem is the way illustrator handles raster images. If i draw a line on top of a raster image, then attempt to scale that raster image, my line is temporarily hidden while scaling, moving or rotating the raster image, making it nearly impossible to re-align my raster image to match newly drawn vector lines. Also, raster images…

Modifier tool is lost when scaling with "~" key held down
Fills can be modified without changing geometry if the "~" key is pressed during the operation.
Previous versions (at up to AI CC 2015) allowed the scaling process to be repeated indefinitely until another tool was chosen. In AI CC 2019 the "Scale" tool switches to the Pen tool every time the Mouse is released. This is a huge pain and should be fixed!! Keep the modifier tool active until another tool is selected please.

Please Make Adobe App shortcuts compatible with Security/Adware/Antivirus software
I suddenly was seeing the "Space Bar Won't enable Hand Tool" problem that's been a plague for years. A few weeks ago, I installed AdGuard for Safari and Mac. I've been happy with it's ad blocking - but this was the culprit for the problem of the Space Bar not invoking the Hand Too, AND for Command+Space not invoking zoom. I've turned off the helpful ad blocker, and I can use my Adobe Apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign were all affected).
After all these years, PLEASE fix these apps so that our computers can remain usable and safe while still having…1 vote -

First click is lost when focusing the window
Windows, when Illustrator isn't focused, clicking inside the window, the click is lost, another click is needed to perform the intended action. Annoying, because the second click is treated as double click.
To reproduce:
Open Illustrator and move the window to the left. Open another program, for example a text editor. Clicking in the illustrator window over a text (with the intent of copying the text causes just focusing the window, the text itself isn't selected. Only the second click selects the text.2 votes -

Trim view is not available to record in the Actions
Trim view is not available to record in the Actions window. Solving this would hugely benefit my workflow, by making trim view a recorded action and giving it a shortcut.

Variable Font not working properly
Hello, I am a type designer and am working on a variable script font. The variable font file work fine everywhere else except in Adobe products.
It appears the sidebearings aren't adjusting with the changes in width. Very odd. You can see whats happening in the first file. The second is on the Axis Praxis website.
I've spoken with Glyphs App developers and they said it's a glitch with Illustrator, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Misaligned patterns on SVG import
When opening an SVG file, pattern fills are incorrectly offset on both x and y axis.
An inconvenient workaround is to reapply the pattern (Select shape, select pattern swatch). This will then position the pattern correctly.
It would be great if the pattern was correctly positioned on file load.
Tested on Windows 10. Illustrator 23.0.6 64bit
See attached PNG for example.
pattern-test.svg used in the screenshot:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="50" height="50" viewBox="0 0 50 50">

Buggy strokes, unwanted anti-aliasing and wrong sizes on export.
I have just completed a project where 1800 tool icons had to be redesigned for a CAD program. Exporting my icons to single and @2x PNGs butchers my icons.
If strokes are set to outside, export to PNG invariably produces unwanted anti-aliasing on vertically or horizontally stacked pixels. (see image 1.png). I have a hunch this only occurs with documents that have over 100 artboards. It cannot be easily reproduced with a document containing only a single artboard. (if someone from tech support wants the document, let me know. I cannot share it publicly.)
