Small objects rotating instead of scaling when grabbing corners of bounding box
New laptop has forced me over to Win11 & the latest suite. Illustrator 26.3.1
When trying to grab small objects by their corners to scale, it rotates.
Expected result - Being able to scale!
Actual Result - Rotating, immediately putting the object at 45 degrees.An old thread from 2018 ("Rotate vs scale") claims this may have something to do with scaling on high res monitors but was marked solved without being solved. This new laptop has a 4k screen.
If you hover the cursor juuuust inside the corner it works, but anything outside and it's forcing rotation.

Text from Old Version Of Illustrator Not Visible in 2022 version
I am currently running AI 2022 on a Windows 10 machine. I had a file that I created on AI 2019 that I wanted to open and edit. When I open the file, none of the text appears and I cannot click or edit it. This also occurs when I try to open PDFs of the 2019 AI files in AI 2022. I even tried editing the PDFs in Acrobat, but that just crashed acrobat.

Actions forget locations of files
I have an action to add a proof header at the top of a page. The header is an Illustrator file that is in a fixed location. However, about once a week or so, the Action forgets the location of the file. I have to fix the action, then quit and restart Illustrator to restore it.
Mac OS 11.6.7. Illustrator 2021 (Still on 2021 for compatibility with customers' art departments)
Circumstances: action that opens, copies, closes, then pastes art on working document.
When it works, it places the header on the page I'm working on.

Scripting Issue on MacOS Monterey
We had this script for Illustrator that will export PDF and images with predefined presets. This was working until some of our team upgraded their macOS to Monterey.
When they tried to run the script it will create a PDF and images with different file names, we are expecting that it will have the same file name from the AI file.
EXPECTED RESULT:
AI File: 02020-MVP-3.ai
Exported Files:
- 0202-MVP-3-THUMBNAIL.png
- 0202-MVP-3-FULL.png
- 0202-MVP-3.pdfACTUAL RESULT:
AI File: 02020-MVP-3.ai
Exported Files:
- ai1655486566390202-MVP-3-THUMBNAIL.png
- ai1655486566390202-MVP-3-FULL.png

Clipping Mask broken in SVG export if name contains hyphen
An Illustrator document that contains a clipping mask will not export correctly if the path used for clipping has a - in the name.
In the resulting SVG code, the path definition looks like this:
<rect id="clipping-path" ... >
but the reference to it looks like this:
<use xlink:href="#clipping_x002D_path" ... >
You can see that the - was converted to "x002D" for the "use" tag, but not for the "rect" tag.
Test files attached.

Properties panel interface spacing bug
The Properties panel is displayed with extra spaces between all the fields,
it's to the point where you have to scroll down to view the quick actions.I tried resetting preferences and reinstalling yet it's still showing in the same way.
I'm trying zooming in and out on the panel with Ctrl + mouse wheel but it doesn't seem to work.
Here are some screenshots of the Properties panel
Any proposition to find a solution to this annoying interface bug is welcome.
Thank you

Previous illustrator version open with wrong size
This is a BUG, not an idea…
Details of your operating system: MacOS Catalina
The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 26.3.1
The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
I created a file with 100% size to send to a printer. I have the most recent version but they have a previous version. When they open the file, object size is 10x smaller. What can be causing these and how can it be solved?I'm sending screenshots

Holding Ctrl does not enable Constrain Proportions for artboards
If I have the Constrain Width and Height Proportions lock button depressed/disabled in the Control panel or for the Artboard tool, committing a change with Ctrl+Enter does not apply the change constrained, as it should do.
Hitting Ctrl+Enter in Properties panel does not do anything at all. Properties is so broken.

Please fix macOS Help > Search in menubar. It freezes and beachballs in Illustrator 2021 and 2022 even on new installs on new machines.
Something changed in the past couple versions of Illustrator that messes up macOS workflows. If you use the Help > Search bar to search the File, Edit, View etc menubar options, the app will freeze for a while and show the spinning beachball. This drastically slows down workflows that used to work.
This happens on Intel macs (including iMac Pro) as well as Apple Silicon macs (M1 Max) on new installs, fresh users. Extremely consistent. Searchbar used to work fine on all previous versions of Illustrator like CC 2019

Translation error (German)
When opening a file in illustrator with missing fonts, a window pops up to replace or activate fonts. There is a translation error in the German version of Illustrator 26.3.1 on mac OS 11.6.7.
The english word "Type" was translated to "Typ" instead of "Schrift".
This translation error seems to be common in other languages as far as i can see it here on uservoice.

Illustrator is incompatible with Windows 11 sleep mode
My Windows 11 laptop (Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360) heats up and excessively drains battery when Illustrator is open and the laptop has been put into sleep mode. My laptop heats up even more while been plugged in and in "sleep mode" with illustrator open. These issues has forced me to use the hibernation mode for example during commuting.

Blending paths with brushes and width profiles works wrong.
Create two lines.
Apply art or pattern brushes to both of them.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.Scatter, calligraphic, and bristle brushes won't let you edit the width profile. I did however test with two calligraphic brush paths with different pressure curves and that was ignored for the intermediary paths. Please test this with bristle and scatter brushes as well.
(this is essentially a reopening of https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41634754-blending-paths-with-width-profiles-works-wrong with a feature that was missed when originally implementing it, as such I just copied and edited Egor's…
