Holding Shift ignores Snap to Grid when creating artboards
When Snap to Grid is enabled, artboards now respect it, both when moved or get created... unless you hold Shift to constrain proportions when resizing or making it a square.
Totally works for rectangles, I can see no reason to prevent artboards from behaving in a similar fashion.
Here’s a somewhat similar request about these also misbehaving with smart guides:

Allow to change scale and precision, show/hide units for existing dimensions
Once dimension is created, we can’t change some parameters of it: scale, precision, units displayed.
We can open Dimension Tool Options and change these for NEW dimensions, but both Properties and Control don’t allow to modify existing ones.The only thing we can do is change these parameters, create a new dimension and then hit 'Apply to all' button in Quick Actions section in Properties (which should be a menu command as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378) — but what if we don’t need to change ALL the dimensions, but only some?
Another thing is to delete a dimension and recreated it…6 votes -

A width profile that is uneditable and rendered wrong
Take a look at these two path; Illustrator says they have the same width profile, but it’s obviously not correct.
If saved as Graphic styles — these do match.
Paths match.
Directions match (and simple reversing still looks different).
The left-hand path cannot be edited with the native Width tool.I can edit these with Width Selector tool by Astute Graphics, but it makes the width changed in a different spot. Saving the style, clearing the appearance, reapplying the style — heals the bug. Deleting a leftmost segment... this keep the look the same (almost), but the bug gets healed…

Saving Process
I recently updated my Illustrator, and I've encountered a new error. When I try to save my project, the saving process won't complete, and there are no options to cancel it. Also, it is not shown on the tasks panel. I have to open a new document and save that as a new file. After a few rounds of saving, the problem occurs again, and I have to force stop the app to prevent further issues with recovered documents.
I would greatly appreciate your help in solving this problem. Thank you.

Share for review comments are misaligned - about 5mm off.
Share for review comments are sometimes misaligned - about 5 mm below the actual comment.
In the case of text errors usually few lines below the actual error-comment.
Web interface shows the comments in the right place, but something bad happens when illustrator reads the comments back in. Its persistent in every illustrator version i have.
The same bug keeps following me in different illustrator versions. I'm not sure what is causing this. One time i suspected some file specific bug, but it keeps reappearing in newly created files. Might it be related to bleed settings? I don't know. But…

SVG files open altered
My files are continuously saving incorrectly. They look great when I save, but when I close out and open it later, things are not as they were. Anchors/handles jump out of whack, stylized effects disappear, rasterized images go blank or disappear; it is maddening. I cannot use this program if my files do not reopen as I saved them. They are exactly right when I hit save, but upon reopening, or opening in another program, they are altered in infuriatingly time-consuming ways.
Possible related symptoms -- upon saving a file, Illustrator regularly tells me my file has been modified outside…

The font with a name which has ampersand symbol cause wrong with exported SVG file
If there is an ampersand in the name of the inserted font, the exported svg file is not able to open due to not escaped symbol&. In fact it should be escaped into &, otherwise error named EntityRef will appear. After editing the SVG file manually, everything goes well.
For example, a font with the family name "FontA&B" is inserted in a file. When I export, the svg file show "font-family: FontA&B" instead of "font-family: FontA&B" or "font-family: "FontA&B" ". So the bug might be tricky. Hope it can be fixed. This does affect my work.
Thanks.Ai Version 29.6.1.9…

Properties Panel Content Missing in Illustrator v29.3
Description of the Issue:
After upgrading to Illustrator v29.3, the Properties panel no longer displays its full content. For example, when selecting a rectangle, the panel only shows "Rectangle" and "Quick Actions," while other expected options are missing. This issue persists even after clearing the cache, resetting preferences, and restarting the application.
I downgraded to v29.2.1, and the Properties panel worked as expected. However, when I upgraded back to v29.3, the issue reappeared, confirming that this is specific to the v29.3 update.
System Information:
- Operating System: macOS 15.3.1
- Adobe Illustrator Version: v29.3
Steps to Reproduce:
- Upgrade to Illustrator v29.3.
- Open…

Dimensions of newly created objects have numerous decimal places and don’t get adjusted afterwards
After leaving the computer on for a week with software running in the background, when trying to draw a new rectangle, the dimensions will show numerous decimal places. Moreover, when attempting to adjust the dimensions afterward, the values will jump erratically.
The background backup process of the software occupies main operational resources, resulting in lag.

Export As does not respect Large Canvas scale (Illustrator 29.2.1)
If you are in a "large canvas" document, when using the "Export As" menu to export PNG(s), the resulting files are 1/10th the dimensions they should be. For example, if I have 100" x 100" artboards and export them at 72dpi, the resulting images should be 7200x7200 pixels, but they are only 720x720 (but still at 72dpi). This happens with "Use Artboards" checked or unchecked, and only seems to affect PNG export and not other file types.
I'm not sure what version this first appeared in, but I know that previous versions of Illustrator behaved correctly.

Adobe illustrator hangs up/not responding whenever the application is closed
Whenever my adobe illustrator application is closed the hangs up for 5-10 seconds and enters "not responding" in windows before closing. This happens whether or not a file is open and has been replicated across user profiles in windows. Previous tickets with support for this issue are : ADB-39790766-X5M6, ADB-40236629-R6J6, and ADB-40751699-T0T2. I have uploaded logs from the adobe log collection tool under the following name: AdobeLogs20250711062022_057-win-GS.zxp and have a local copy as well if it is needed (unable to attach here).

If possible, please update and verify if the issue is truly gone.

Preview issues with Home recent files and Placed files not properly showing all artwork.
Home recent files not populating with updated artwork previews. For example: I use a personal file template, make changes, save as new, and the new file does not populate an updated preview on the home screen. Second, when placing an AI file in another AI file some of the assets are missing in the place file and/or moved and distorted - even though when I open the original file everything looks fine.
