Envelope distort: Changing warp option keeps previous selection
I just updated to 30.5.1 yesterday and went to make a checkerboard flag. I made the checkerboard as a compound path and chose Envelope Distort from the Object menu. The initial selection was Bulge, which distorted my flat flag into a bulging flag. I then selected flag and it added the flag mesh on top of the bulge mesh..
I tried selecteing other warp options and each one I picked, was added to the flag. Mind you, I have NOT selected OK. I'm just flipping through the warp options.
I then selected cancel, but all the envelope distortions were applied.…

Illustrator 30.5.1 started freezing
Since most recent update, Illustrator keeps freezing for no explainable reason. There is no pattern to the freeze, but need to force quit to move forward. Auto save is not saving to the same point. Very frustrating.

Change to Global Rulers grayed out.
For some reason 'Change to Global Rulers' is grayed out. Using that for years, for preparing art for Cinema4d, but in this version, suddenly I am not able to switch.

Naming a layer "Unnamed" bug
To duplicate, simply create a layer and call it "Unnamed" (case-sensitive). On my PC, whenever I do this, the Measure tool breaks and the app starts throwing UIDu and NOKY errors. Unless the devs can patch this, remember to add "Unnamed" to your "never use this keyword" list.

Illustrator asks for permission to access data from other apps
Every time Illustrator is launched, it triggers a dialog asking for "permission to access data from other apps" that requires a click to continue working. Every time! This is nuts. Granting this permission once should be enough.

Editable Type isn't scaling correctly, even at 10% scale
I am creating a sign in 1-1 scale. When scaling down to fit on a proof page. the Type isn't scaling down correctly.
The image shows an outline text overlayed on top of the editable text, then selecting all and scaling down to 10%.
You can see how the live text is not the same as the outline text.
Never had this issue until the recent update (30.6)2 votes -

Hidden Characters remain visible when exporting in PNG
Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2
I work with Hidden Characters on, and when I export a PNG (export for Screens), they remain visible. Hidden Characters aren't supposed to remain visible after a PNG export. The only way that I could resolve the issue is to turn them off. But when I try to disable hidden characters, it looks like they are already off (even though I can still see them), and I have to turn them on, then off again, to make sure they are completely disabled.

Turntable access bug
Turntable previously worked for me, and has now stopped allowing me access with an upgrade message.
I have confirmed with support my subscription level should include turntable and I have full generative credits left for this month (although they did try to blame that and I had to wait for credits to renew before proving it wasn't the issue).
Yet clicking turntable from illustrator results in the error message:
"Upgrade to generate
You don't have enough standard feature credits or need premium feature access for this generative action.

Freeform Gradient stops vanish, can’t be placed or edited
When trying to "edit gradient" in the Freeform Gradient tool I found that the handles disappear/glitch and don't allow me to place or change any of the values. I have tried in both positions (the top toolbar and right-side menus) but both times, even upon a restart and reset of performance, that the handles are not responding at all. I also cannot add stops in the tool window, I can only change the (new) "Method" dropdown box, which, in either setting, does not fix anything.
I am on the latest version of illustrator (30.5.1) on Desktop Mac.

Blend easing not working properly on overlapping shapes
Whenever I create a blend with overlapping shapes, the easing does not work. The slider is active, but moving it does nothing. Easing does work when I create a blend without overlapping. And while I can start the blend without overlap and then move the smaller shape over the larger shape, the easing warps the lines instead of adjusting spacing.

Selecting several objects at once in Layers is broken
As documented in other reports, this remains broken. It may work ONCE, based on no discernible pattern, but never again in dozens of tries.
This afflicts both platforms.

COMMAND F (PASTE IN PLACE) NOT WORKING!!!
paste in place is not working all of a sudden. Command F acts like command V. It just pastes randomly. Even selecting paste in place from the menu doesn't work. This is incredibly annoying and the enemy of precision. PLEASE RESTORE!!!!

Place cloud assets and opening cloud documents
Can't place cloud images, literally NOTHING happens. I have to restart computer to be able to place images. Sometimes not even restarting. I thought it was better to keep assets on adobe cloud, I think is better to have them stored somewhere else and used them as files. :/ Cloud is giving WAAAY too much sync problems.
At least twice a week I'm not able to open documents because it says I'm not the user linked to that file, and I have to REINSTALL all apps! I'm getting tired.
