PDFs made in CC versions are much larger than ones generated in CS6
In addition to the JPEG issue, there is the problem that vector files are often almost 10x the size as exactly the same file in CS6.
I reported this over a year ago.
Sloppy coding?

Sudden jumps to maximum magnification level when zooming in
Not clear what category this falls into.
Problems new to CC:
When zooming-in incrementally (Command-Spacebar, click), Illustrator frequently "jumps" straight to maximum magnification, forcing me to have to "zoom" back out to the desired magnification or even just to get my bearings and figure out where in the document I am.
This is very disorienting, and frustrating and bad for productivity.

Problem with raster effects printing
We have had to outlaw the use of raster effects here because of the distortion they cause when an AI file is saved as a PDF.
Our workflow for printing is the save our work from Illustrator as a PDF file which is then placed in an InDesign document. Any raster effects used in the graphic end up adding lines the edge of the effect as well as shifting the colors touched by the effect.

File that exports in CS6 does not in CC
Using Adobe CC (tried all versions to date) I cannot export a .ai file to a CMYK tiff at 600 dpi. I receive the following error "The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available."
The exact same file is exporting in CS6 without issue (CMYK tiff@600dpi).
Computer has 32GB RAM of which approximately 12GB are free at the time of the error.
Illustrator is a fresh install on a new computer (Win 10 Pro). Scratch disk set to secondary drive, no other additions or changes to Adobe.
Process on CC:
1 - Boot computer

Uniform (centered) Scale // Bounding Box // Wacom Driver Issues
Uniform (centered) scale issues while using the bounding box together with "shift+option" keys (Mac OS) for scaling, seem to occure while having older Wacom Drivers installed. It does not happen when working with a Mouse or using the Touch Pad for Example on a Wacom Intuos Touch. Pen input only reproduces this issue with older drivers.

Pucker bug
The pucker creates white triangles at the bottom of the artwork. It seems to export to jpg as it is supposed to, but the vector artwork displays incorrectly.

Eye dropper not applying proper color/hex from Adobe Color Themes panel
I'm using the latest Illustrator v23.03. When selecting colors from the Adobe Color Themes panel, it does not copy the correct color hex to the selected item in my document. In the attached file, which I've scaled up for easier viewing, the square tiles represent the proper color within the Adobe Color Themes panel, with each overlaying the incorrect color Illustrator is copying over when selected. As you can see, there is a major discrepancy. This does not happen with all themes...some copy over perfectly, but many (in my case) do not. I've tried adjusting color profiles to see if…

Can't resize text, objects, or images anymore using the selection tool
When I click on any object, text, or image and try to resize it just by clicking and dragging the anchor points, it doesn't resize anymore like it used to. It just moves the object. This is on a Mac in Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.1

Editing Library-Item Name prompts "Move Object" pop up.
After the most recent update to Adobe Illustrator (v. 23.0) on Windows 64-bit system. Every time I name/rename an object added to my Library panel, on hitting 'Enter/Return' to save the change and leave the edit state, the 'Move Object' pop-up appears (and I have to close it to return to what I was doing.
As I've been adding a series of icons to my Adobe CC Library, this is a very tedious process to close this pop-up every. single. time.
Please fix. Thank you :)

Free transform not scaling correctly
When scaling a stroke with Free Transform it jumps to a ~30º angle (pics attached). this happens without holding Shift etc. All I want to do is extend the stroke.

Text missing in SVG files
This is the first time trying to use Illustrator since it updated to the newest version (23.0.1) and updating my Mac to High Sierra (10.14). I have previously used Illustrator to edit SVG files, specifically the text in those files. When I open similar SVG files in the new Illustrator, all of my text is missing. My computer is due for a small update which will go through later tonight but this seems like a bug within Illustrator. When I open the SVG in Photoshop 2019 and re-export it as a SVG, I am able to see the text in…

File Names Fail To Save with Fullstops
If a file name, entered in the New Document modal, has fullstops in the name in the beginning of the string, for example, a date " 19.07.11 Web Banner.ai " the user will find, when they go to save the file that the filename will not be saved as it was entered.
No characters after the 2nd full stop will be shown, forcing the user to type out the entire string again.

Color Fill Bug
Hello! Yesterday, I finished drawing a comic. I was supposed to color it in, but the color fill was not working on anything on the drawing. I tested using the fill color on a separate drawing and it worked. It’s only this one drawing that can’t be colored using fill at all.
I do the press and hold technique to color. My iPad Pro is version 12.3.1 and is up to date.
Update: It’s gotten a little better. I can only color small objects but that’s it.
