Properties panel does not scale in width
In Illustrator CC 2018 (Windows), the Properties panel does not scale in width, so it can not be grouped with other panels (when switching, all panels become equal to the Properties panel in width).
In the transformation section of the object in the Properties panel, you can not change the size proportionally using the Ctrl + Enter shortcut. In the Transformation panel, you can do this.

Can't export a PNG file ([now!] error)
Hello,
I am trying to export my illustration in PNG at 300 dpi, but every time it is showing me the attached error. It's not with this file only. Even if I am trying to export a simple rectangle, I am getting the same error. I am using windows 8.1 pro and illustrator version is 2018.
Kindly help.

Actions based on Scripts not saving after restart?
From: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2191151
I located another thread from December where the consensus seems to be that this is a long standing and known bug with Illustrator.
Permanently saving scripts in Action Set doesn't work / Scripts werden nicht dauerhaft in den Aktionseinstellungen gespeichert.I have spent a good deal of time working with people here on the Adobe forums to develop a script to automate a very large function of my job, and now that it is completed it should be ready to pass on to members of my team so they can utilize it as well. The problem is that…

Eyedropper picks wrong CMYK colors from image's RGB preview in CMYK document
I observe that AI's eyedropper picks color not directly from a raster image, but from it's preview, but I think it's terribly wrong, especially when you pick a color from a CMYK image placed inside of a CMYK document, and get some mutated color instead of ground truth.
For example, I have a photo blended into a single colored background and I don't remember which one exactly. I pick this color with the eyedropper inside AI to match the image’s edge with the vector background ...and it almost looks OK, but when it's printed, the mismatch is quite visible.

Unable to apply gradient along or across a stroke
Trying to make a cylindrical/tubular structure with form.
In gradient window, when selecting to apply the gradient either within, along or across the stroke, one gets the same result. A vertically oriented gradient which has nothing to do with the stroke. Quite frustrating. even if one changes the orientation, it does absolutely nothing.
This is the reason why I upgraded. What a disappointment! And I see from the web that I'm not alone.

Effects are still recalculated in Outline view
When I'm working on a super complicated and heavy artwork with lots of blends and effects, things tend to slow down A LOT. It would be a HUGE time saver if I could just switch to outline view and be able to edit the lines quickly without having effects turned on. I only see outlines so it doesn't make much sense to have effects and blends load each time I adjust something. They should be turned off in outline view and load when you switch back to preview.
There is absolutely no reason for having effects turned on in outline…

Artboard Tool button crashes Illustrator
I'm trying to put this in the "Illustrator Bugs" category, but the button I have to click says "Post idea". Apologies if this is in the wrong area.
Every time I click the artboard button Illustrator crashes.
I'm using a 2017 iMac
Illustrator version 22.0.1I've been having the same problem since the last time I updated Illustrator (several months). Doing research in the trouble shooting forum leads me to believe this has been a problem since October 2017.
No one had posted a solution in the forum.
I spent a while on Adobe's website searching for the appropriate phone…

Transform grayed out
Very frequently (might be even 50 percent of the time) when I select an object the "Transform" and "Arrange" options in the "Object" menu (as well as the associated keystrokes) are grayed out as unavailable. When I deselect the menu and then select the menu again the "Transform" and "Arrange" options have magically become available. Selecting the menu a second time always "fixes" this.

Media size setting of print dialog returns to default settings on changing color via swatches (or apply arrowhead via strokes)
Any operating system (happens on both Windows and Mac)
Illustrator Version 22.x or 21.xChange "media size" in print setting from "Defined by Driver" to any paper.
Finish the print dialog ("Done" click).
Select from the color book with Swatches panel, or set the arrow with the Stroke panel.
When returning to the print setting again, the media size returns to "Defined by Driver".Does not occur before Version 20 (CC 2015.5).
Possibility to occur when using settings that refer to another Illustrator file.
Problems reported in the Japan Forum.

Cursor jumps while editing Font Family name
When I try to change font name from HeliosCondBlackC to HeliosBlackC (both are installed), erasing part of the name, CC2018 moves cursor to the end (while CC2017 does not)
I also have 'Entire Font name' option chosen (and never change it), but cursor still jumps to the end.12 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our release – 23.1 which is available worldwide now.

Drop shadows unnecessarily re-render when placing new images, slowing workflow
As of 5/22/18 using Illustrator 22.1, all existing drop shadow effects within document re-render each time a new image is placed. Rendering can take up to 30 seconds to process (a Progress dialogue box appears), which slows down workflow considerably.
This is never an issue with InDesign or Photoshop, so I'd love to see this fixed in Illustrator. Thanks!

Font point size change
In the new CC 2018 release, when changing font point sizes, the program registers every keystroke entered in the font size field of the character box. For example, if piece of text is set to size 10, and you want to change it to size 15, entering "15" into the character panel changes the font briefly to size 1, until the 5 is entered and then it changes to 15. When undoing this change using command-z, the it requires two keystrokes to return from 15 to 10, because the first undo returns it to size 1, and the second then…

Outline mode does not work
I have Illustrator CC, I have tried the work around of Ctrl+E then Ctrl+Y.
Outline mode displays the lines but freeze and won’t allow the color to leave the image or the lines to be manipulated.

Acrobat DC PDF file has a difference spot color name than the same PDF imported into Illustrator
- A production file was created in Illustrator CC 2017 (21.1.0) Windows 7 and saved as a PDF for print.
- The file needed editing and when opened again in CC 2018 (22.1.0) on Windows 10, one of the spot color names in illustrator is different from the PDF file.
- File-open repeats the issue, but File- Place imports the correct spot color name.
- Not only did the spot color name change but the text underneath a color call out, we do use Tortoise SVN software which could be part of the issue. Why would illustrator read that file differently than Acrobat DC?
