The issue of selecting tools to move lines
In Illustrator, when I select a line and try to move it, the selection is always lost, forcing me to repeatedly select and move it again. This makes the task difficult for me.

Blob Brush doesn't respect "Draw inside" when painting with a color existing outside
I included a picture to explain the problem.
If the user intentionally chooses to draw inside a shape, then that limit should be respected. but instead, if we are painting with a color that exists outside, new strokes merges with the older ones, resulting on the painting escaping the "draw inside" feature.I think that the blob Brush merging should be less aggressive and should respect masks, otherwise it's not intuitive and goes against user input, which qualifies this to be a bug.

Picking Eyedropper temporarily disables Smart Guides
As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1p6ecuj/behavior_of_eyedropper_tool_changed_recently/
In previous versions (can’t say for sure now when it stopped) we were able to aim with the Eyedropper better, when Smart Guides were enabled. In CC 2017 it works. Was quite helpful to pick color from a stroke, highlighting the object that is going to be sampled. Cool, right?
But now, I suppose with the Photoshop-style sampling rings glued on, Illustrator forgot it’s a vector program. The sampling ring should not disable Smart guides!
I somewhat get why pressing Shift might disable it, because Shift enables the 'sample by pixel' mode, and picking a color…

Pencil Tool Fidelity setting is either buggy, or something weird is going on.
With Pencil Tool
The most accurate setting (1) produces 44 points in my example.
The next setting (2) produces 10 points.
The following setting (3) produces 17 points.Settings 2 and 3 are in the wrong order.
I wondered why there was such a huge accuracy gap between settings 1 and 2, and then I noticed this.
I’ve attached a sample .ai file.2 votes -

Artboard width & height removed from upper tool bar. PUT IT BACK
Now to access the width and height you must go to the properties panel. Why are we making extra steps? Fix this

The Eraser Tool sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry
The Eraser Tool, even with a size of 0 pt (but also with 1 or 2 pt), sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry, sometimes draws a gap in the geometry (as it should always do). This bug has always existed, you have never fixed it. Often, to make partial deletions of the geometry, I have to use other software (such as CorelDRAW).

Using Pen tool does auto switch to add or remove points when cursor is hoving over lines or anchors.
I'm not sure if this is a new feature or not, but when using the regular pen tool, it usually displays the + or - symbol when it's over anchor points or on lines to indicate whether to add or remove. It doesn't do this now, and I have to manually switch between the 'Remove Point' or 'Add Point' version on the toolbar.
2 votesThe 'Disable Auto Add/Delete' option in Preferences > General controls this behavior

Alt & drag to copy not working.
I only read one post about this problem with a GIF example. I'm working on Windows desktop, every time I try to alt + drag to copy something, at first it creates a copy, but when I release the mouse or keys (tested many combinations), it ends up only moving that object to that place instead of creating a copy. It's really frustrating because it's making my job difficult.

Created Dimensions change their snapping positions
I wanted to use the Dimension tool but I’m afraid it really needs some work and can only be used when your drawing is finished.
Here is a quite of bug that happened: I was adding another space and other dimensions. Apparently it changed my previous one with a certain angle (I didn't rotate anything though).
I did realize at that time and can't even go back to when it was good.2 votes -

Using Pencil Tool results in error
Unfortunately, the pencil tool still doesn't work for me. I received this unknown error, which I've attached a photo of. The only workaround that I've been able to use is by using a 3rd party plug-in (Astute Graphics Sketch Tool) to use instead of the pencil tool. I don't understand why this bug has been so difficult to fix

The blue "new feature" dot on the Pencil tool isn't going away in a secondary toolbar.
I have a tiny little toolbar that is nothing but the Draw Above/Below/Inside indicator and the current tool. It'd just be the Draw Location widget but apparently you have to show the current tool in every toolbar. A lot of the time I work with the main toolbar off and just this up.
Switching to another tool and back doesn't clear the blue dot, even though I've checked the Pencil's settings and seen the new options, and the dot's vanished from the main toolbar.
The blue dot does go away if I close and restart Illustrator so it's not like…

Eyedropper reports "nan" or inaccurate color
Adobe Illustrator version 29.7.1.
When picking a color with the eye dropper from a 2x2 raster image copied and pasted from Photoshop, on certain sub-pixel positions the eye dropper will return a "nan" color, and will fill all of its preview color windows to black. That, or it will be wildly inaccurate.
Attached a screenshot and the .ai file.2 votes -

Pen tool can't close paths in draw behind mode in certain scenarios
I'm drawing with the pen tool in draw behind mode. However, every time I start a path on where an anchor is of another path above it is located, I won't be able to close the path by clicking the starting anchor point. It will instead just create another anchor point in that exact same spot and continue the path.

Scale Tool won't deselect
After scaling a pattern within a shape using shift + back quote key you cannot deselect to accept the changes to the patterns scale. I cannot click on any other tool to get out of the glitch. It only stops when I press control + alt + delete.
