Font Height Options Tab order is broken
In Character panel, when you choose an option to display Font Height Options, hitting Tab to focus works wrong.
Click Font Family field to focus it and press Tab to focus the next one, Font Style. It works fine, nut the next press moves the focus to the Font Size field, skipping Font Height Reference field!
So it means we can’t access this field at all using a keyboard.11 votes -
Spellcheck turns off when you apply Drop Shadow or other effects to a text
Spellcheck must work for all text objects once enabled, no matter what appearance it has.
Here, the same line of text with a typo in it has a drop shadow and a custom fill applied. No zigzag lines, and all those who count on Ai to mark they typos are in trouble.

Old files quirks - SAVING and more
I have occasionally had problems with files not saving.
Today I have a specific example in case some dev people want to look at if: https://stock.adobe.com/579753145
The document seems to be plain eps (or maybe oldest Illustrator version ever).
When I open it in illustrator to just look at it, 27.5 on windows occasionally seems to keep some filehandle open (so I cannot make a change and "save as")
If that does not happen,, and I try to save, I get the "save as" dialogue, but in the end the file does not change. In detail: the documentAfterSave event is…1 vote -
Action to find replace T1 fonts
Since Illustrator no longer supports T1 fonts I would love to be able to make an action to find/replace font associated with common fonts that I used previously to current fonts that I now have active. The action however only opens the find/replace dialog and doesn't complete the request automatically. It makes you reselect the replacement font. (even though in the script dialog it shows the step of find (x) font, replace (x) font, change all yes).

Exporting Artboards
When I try exporting an artboard lets say as a PNG and put in that specific artboard, the preview comes up as the wrong artboard, it is usually the first one. This has been going on for a while and I have just come to the realization that it is a bug because I cancel the export and then try again and it works.

Snap to point
Why do you have to zoom right in almost to get points to snap to each other properly? Do you understand how disruptive to workflow this is? It seems to be a real issue when not zoomed right in to an image. This is very annoying!

Free Distort effect ignores Drop Shadow effect within
If a Drop Shadow effect is above a Free Distort effect in the Appearance panel (which means the shadow gets applied after the distortion) — it works fine.
However, if we first have a shadow and then try to distort the object which casts it (the Free Distort is below the Drop Shadow in Appearance) — the vector geometry gets distorted, but the shadow stays orthogonal and immune to the distortion.
Not a very popular workflow, I know, but still.

my cursor is showing a black arrow all the time and doesn't show the tool that I am using
All the tools are working perfectly but instead of the cursor showing the tool I am using, it shows a black arrow all the time. I tried to reinstall Adobe but with the problem persists. Attached you can see two screenshots of me selecting two different tools but the cursor remains with the black arrow. thanks

3D effect in Illustrator 2023 doesn’t work
After updating to 2023, the 3D effect no longer works on macOS 12.6.1. This is also the case with Photoshop. I then get the message that an error has occurred.
I don't have that problem on my laptop with the latest version of macOS.1 vote -

オブジェクトを再配色にて、RGBスライダーが短く表示される
Mac OS 12.6 Monterey
Illustrator27.2(27.1.*)再配色ウインドウを開いた時に、下部の調整部分がRGBだとバーが短く表示されます。CMYKや他の調整モードに切り替えた後RGBに戻すとバーの長さは戻りますが、何度も切り替えているとRGBのバーのみがまた短くなることがあります。
27.2にアップデートすることで解決するかと思いましたが解決していなかったので、前のバージョンの正確な数字を覚えていないのですが27.1.*でも同様でした。3 votes -
Missing Pixels After Rendering 3d Objects
Windows 11
AI 2023 Version 27.4Whenever I render 3d objects in illustrator,
missing pixels or weird scratches show up within
the object. It doesn't matter if I change the
lighting or material or size, the issues are still there.The scratches show up when I export the objects as well. My document raster effect settings are on 300 ppi.
Also, changing from CPU/GPU view doesn't make
a difference.This only started happening in the past few days.
I've used this tool before on my computer W/o
issues. My GPU is up to date. It’s equipped to handle everything. I’m…1 vote -
Cannot save data to cloud after folder creation
MacbookPro M1 /Ventura13.0
Illustrator 27.5Reproduction procedure
1. Create a new folder when saving data to the cloud (in this case, the folder name is "素材" in Japanese)
2. I tried to save the file to the cloud as is, but it was not saved. I tried several times, but could not save the file.
3. It was possible to save the file locally. After saving locally, it was also possible to save the file to the cloud in the "素材" folder.It would be great if the folder could be created and then saved as is.

1.クラウドにデータを保存する際、新しいフォルダを作成する（ここではフォルダ名を日本語で「素材」としました）…1 vote -
Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty
If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.
Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.
So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

Can’t select a hyphen at the start of the line
テキストツールで半角英数字で入力したものが、後になって選択できなくなる場合があるようです。
「- 2022 -」と入力したあと、修正しようとしたら、最初の「- 」が選択出来ません。1 voteIllustrator converts a hyphen at the start of the line to a bulleted list, unless the 'Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing' option (enabled by default) is not turned off.
These converted markers can’t be selected, unless you convert the text back with the dedicated button in the Paragraph menu.
But be warned though, that sometimes disabling the auto-conversion does not work, and hyphen and other characters still force Illustrator to create a list.
If it does happen to you — please vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45928900
