Selection of multiple text objects - changing font not working
We can no longer change the font of multiple text objects at once.
When multiple text objects are selected, Ai thinks this is a 'mixed selection' and does not come up with the typeface selector. Slowing down my work incredibly.6 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Layer Panel is blank & not representing any layer panel icons or titles
Layer Panel went blank randomly in a multi-layered project. Cannot view titles or any icons. Sometimes running the mouse over layer panel reveals the information that the mouse points at, however, only to disappear (title info, icons etc) if you click on layer.
Latest version of Illustrator CC 2018. Have rebooted system twice, one shutdown for several hours, one restart. Also researching online to find similar issues. Seems to be relatively new issue.
2 votesSorry to hear that you are facing this issue. Can you please check layer options dialog?
From panel flyout open Layer Options and see if the thumnails for “Layers” “Groups” and “Objects” are selected and “Top Layer Only” is Not selected.Also “Show Layers Only” check box should be deselected.
let me know if this solves your problem or not?
Thanks

Units in AI 2018 not functioning properly
The new update to Illustrator, 2018, seems to be having issues with files made in previous versions of Illustrator, as of 10/19/17. I'm having trouble setting the Units. When I try to set my rulers to inches, they seem to remain at points - even the properties pallet.
Although, I just reinstalled 2017 (on 10/20/17) because of these bugs and when I launched the AI app from the CC app, it launched the 2018 version (since I had not yet uninstalled it). When I checked again, this issue seems to have been resolved since yesterday. I kept double checking and…

Type object selection by path
Type object selection by path does not work at all while snap to grid is enabled.
It's been this way for years... guess I've finally had enough.

Rendering Issue When Not Using Application Frame
When the Application Frame is turned off and a file is opened it does not render correctly. Instead broken sections of the screen appear. It's different each time. In order for the file to render the Application Frame must be turned on. It can then be turned back off if the user prefers not to work in the Application Frame. I have attached a screen grab of one of the files opened with the Application Frame turned off.

Properties panel bug
When you edit word in properties panel and you want to change first few letters in word from normal to bold. It will show you change but when you deselect type tools it will change entire word to bold. But if you go trough type panel everything is fine.

Problem occurs in all versions of Illustrator 21.x.x and 22.x.x
When an Object with a non-simple Appearance is Expanded the resulting shapes have Corner Widgets created for some of the corners but not for others.

Playing scripts via action with no open documents
Running scripts via an action only appears to work if there is at least one open document.
Steps:
1. Create a simple script (such as app.documents.add)
2. Save to Illustrator scripts folder.
3. Record to action via 'Insert Menu Item'
4. Make sure no documents are open
5. Play action. Illustrator displays the message 'The object <ScriptName> is not currently available.'If you run the script via File > Scripts, it runs normally. I don't think this should be expected behaviour; if the menu command runs the script, the action should too, regardless of whether or not there is an…

Pen Tool preview disappears
After using Illustrator for a period of time - say, 15-20 minutes - the pen tool preview ("Rubber Band") stops appearing on screen, even though it is still activated in the preferences. Restarting Illustrator restores it, until it disappears again. And over and over again. This happens on multiple PCs, multiple configurations, multiple versions of Illustrator.

Illustrator CC won't embed color profile correctly
Windows 10 64-Bit
Illustrator 22.0.1Whenever I am saving an Illustrator .ai file with the checkbox for embed color profile checked, the resulting file does not have a color profile embedded correctly. When I reopen that file in Illustrator it seems to have the correct profile embedded but in Bridge or InDesign the file appears to have no color profile attached. If I export the same file as .psd file Illustrator embeds the color profile correctly.
My colormanagment is synched via Bridge.8 votesPlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Hebrew punctuation problem.
Right now (finally, thank you) you can write in hebrew right-to-left.
BUT the punctuation still comes out always in the wrong direction.
I attach an example.
