Variables Panel columns don't resize
Variables Panel interface columns don't move in case variables names are long. This is a problem that is still not fixed. I know that it worked in old version of illustrator CS2 and CS3 you can modify the columns in de the panel interface so you can read all variables names better. Today we need to restrict the text length of the variables names so we can read in de panel interface. This is not an ideal alternative. Can you please fix this so that the panel works again like Illustrator CS3 ?

Export As in an action does not save parameters but uses ones from the latest export instead
When you record 'Export As...' as an action, and use PNG format, the parameters (resolution, anti-aliasing type, background color) are not saved in the action, but are instead just picked up from the last used export.
Is this not a big problem?
Aren't actions supposed to be self-contained?
If one toggles on the 'dialog' icon in the Actions panel (to let us pick settings on the fly), then it's no different from just choosing the Export As... menu item, so what's the point of the action?Tested with Win 2024

The entire document fails due to the use of area text linked to different pages. Text is lost, the file freezes, won't save, or is stuck
Mi computador es un MacBook Pro 2022 - Chip Apple M2 - MacOs Sequoia 15.5, pensaba que era un error del Mac por lo que formatee el computador y volví a instalar la suite de adobe, pero no, el error sigue, fue a partir de la actualización hecha después del sábado 28 de Junio. Desde allí el ilustrator presenta diferentes errores que detallaré a continuación:
1. Para abrir un documento luego de haber trabajado en otro, se queda pensando diciendo que esta leyendo el documento y no lo abre, allí se bloquea y tengo que reiniciar el programa (adjunto pantallazo).…-

Include SVG code is not working
I used to be able to copy and paste from Illustrator into Figma without any issues. Then, vector icons started getting pasted as images. After contacting Figma support I was told I need to check the Include SVG code in the Settings - Slipboard handing panel. It worked for a few weeks and as of today it stopped working even though the box is checked.

Illustrator Flickering/Losing Focus when Clicking Quickly (Both CPU/GPU Modes)
Illustrator flickers when clicking quickly (or just in general) both when using GPU rendering and CPU only rendering (see attached files). It seems to lose focus on Illustrator and I can see whatever background applications I am using (e.g. Google Chrome). The problem happens in both fullscreen and windowed mode.
It seems like they have the same problem in this post and standard fixes by disabling GPU Performance doesn't work: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1muf4mt/adobe_illustrator_problem/

Gen AI Style Reference not working correctly
I let it generate a dragon. Then pointed to a style reference - a picture of an elephant. And then generated again. Now the dragon had a trunk.... A trunk is not a graphic / artistic style. A style reference should look at style rather than content / subject.

Can’t place an object between unfurled groups in Layers
If you have two groups unfurled in Layers — good luck in positioning an object between them in Layers. Any spot you drop it in will move it into either group, like the first attached GIF shows.
And if the object is originally within a group, you’d have to move it outside first, collapse both groups and only then put it in-between... when you have a complex layer structure it can be very painful.
Unlike in Photoshop (GIF 2), Send Backwards / Send to Back won’t move the object outside of the group, and dragging the layer to the left…

Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or duplicating using Option drag Shift command. Illustrator v. 29.6.1
Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or when duplicating using Option drag Shift command. I'm surprised that as many updates as we are required to do, that the glitches and bugs are so prevalent than they used to be before constant updating. I'm beginning to think that updating isn't really about making the product better, but to keep folks paying their subscriptions.

Anti-Aliasing Method in PNG Options Resets to Type Optimized
The Preview in PNG Options is fixed (previously reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48119207), but the anti-aliasing method is not sticky anymore. It stays on Type Optimized between exports.

Both Illustrator and Photoshop stop responding while using complex files
The Adobe Software, both Illustrator and Photoshop, stop responding and I can’t really use them properly, while using complex files
2 votesAkshay, the team would need to study those files that makes Illustrator work slowly. Please upload these to a file hosting of your choice (with all the links collected using File > Package) and send the access link to sharewithai@adobe.comm so the team could investigate them. Please mention the link to this report (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50490981) along with full details about your OS and hardware.

When I scroll or pan with the scrollbars or the hand tool the black border of the artboards disappear. This is super annoying as I keep my canvas white, so when I'm moving around the canvas, I can't see where the artboards are until I release the hand tool.

Cmd+Opt+Shift+M Erases Text
OBSERVATION
The keyboard shortcut Cmd+Opt+Shift+M will open the Character Window and highlight the current font, however this exceptionally incredible time saving shortcut works only if the text is selected and not highlighted.While the text is highlighted, performing the Cmd+Opt+Shift+M shortcut, simply erases the highlighted text.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The mechanics of this shortcut, many versions ago, performed the expected function, whether the text was highlighted or selected.Illustrator: 29.7
