New document (File > New) window does not display options and has overlapping text
The "Create New Document" window doesn't display any options, just a blank panel. Also, the text is overlapping itself and unreadable. I cannot create a new document to any specified size.

File Save Window Font Styling Unreadable
(System: MacBook Pro 16" OS X 10.15 Illustrator 24.2.3)
When attempting to save a file, the save to window's text styling is nearly unreadable, the padding/margins are way too large, making the paragraphs very thin. Select buttons are pushed below fold, and window needs to be expanded to full screen in order to select where to save file.

export dxf
When in large canvas mode, I can't export a DXF. nowhere in the "known limitations" document does it mention this. I can export other regular canvas size documents as DXFs in the same session of illustrator.

Expanding simple paths autogenerates dozens of unnecessary Bezier points
Drawing 2 overlapping shapes or paths (or shapes expanded from paths) could once be reliably split/trimmed/etc. cleanly using Pathfinder tools.
Currently, doing so autogenerates dozens of unnecessary Bezier points. This can be cleaned up using the Smooth tool, but becomes a tedious process, especially given that the same cleaned shape will behave the same way if Pathfinder is used again.
This is a critical part of my workflow that's become substantially disrupted by whatever change was made under the hood in the past 6 years.
My hope is that with the change to other drawing tools, this is a preference…

GPU Performance is deeply broken - UI overlay refresh issue
Within about 20-30 min of starting illustrator with GPU Performance enabled, everything goes haywire.
It seems to be an issue with UI overlays such as art board bounding boxes and shape paths/points. As you pan about or adjust a shape, it seems that old overlays are not disposed and new overlays are just drawn on top resulting in layers and layers of overlays. The overlays are cleared if you zoom but when you start to pan or manipulate shapes again, the overlays continue to populate on screen.
Images attached should illustrate the issue better then I can describe it. What…

Messed preview when opening multiple files
Last file opened in Illustrator transforms the preview of all previous files to look like that last one I opened so I can not differentiate files because they all appear the same from tab to tab.

Bring back CS5 image trace controls and results, PLEASE!!
Over the years, each update in Adobe Illustrator has resulted in poorer trace results for complex line work. I specifically keep an old Mac so I can run CS5 just to trace. Please bring back the advanced controls CS5 had so illustrators such as myself can use the updated version of Adobe Illustrator to trace hand sketched work. I've attached a sample to show you results from CS5 trace and the current Adobe Illustrator.

Switched to another application, Unable to Save on return
I initiated a Save, making a New Folder, switched out of Illustrator to Chrome to get a job number to add to the folder name, switched back and was unable to type in the new folder window, or press the Cancel or Save buttons, or use keyboard! Clicking around I noticed I could select type in the input text field in a screen position that was NOT where the input field was. I moved the new folder modal to where I could select type and I was then able to press the buttons! I must have moved the modal either…

Files from Illustrator 9.x lose all layer names when loaded.
Today I was looking through some old files and discovered that things I drew when Illustrator 9 was the new hotness lose their layer names when loaded; everything is just named "<Layer>".
Observed on several versions from CC2018 (22.x, the oldest one on my computer that I can still run - maybe it's time to delete those older versions I still have kicking around) to 2020 (24.2.3).
I've attached a file that displays this behavior. Ignore the request for a linked file that I didn't include, it's just a scan of a rough sketch.

Text on path gets selected when you marquee over empty space
When I need to select something under the arc, like it’s shown in the GIF attached, I can use marquee and the the type object gets selected.
Why?
Did I click the path? No.
Did I click the text? No.
That’s just the 'Illustrator’s way'. Can you make an option to disable this nonsense?16 votes -
Colour Hex Cut / Copy Error
I'm switching between AE and Illustrator. Copying Hex codes from Illustrator and pasting them into AE.
If I accidentally press Ctrl+X it starts misbehaving.
It stops copying any codes and the clipboard has some SVG export code. I can't copy anything else unless I close and reopen Illustrator.

Creative Cloud item linked to "old" item when moving to another CC Library
I have several Library on AI Creative Cloud (shared with a colleague). There is a "Final" Library where we store the design that will be used to print on final products, and there is a WIP (work in progress) library that we use for the yet to be released.
In Final Library there might be an item call "1234a" and we would be working on "1234b" in the WIP library (1234b usually would be made as a duplicate from 1234a and then renamed and edited)
Then we would place the 1234b on our artboard arrange several other items etc.

Illustrator's "Open..." dialogue box's File Format type dropdown Locks program
- System info: Windows 10 Pro v1903 Illustrator 2020 v24.2.3
- Launched the program, from the home screen, I went to File>Open... When the Dialogue box for opening a file popped up, I went to the filetype selector to the right of the file name field, and clicking the dropdown arrow causes the program to lock up.
- I expected a dropdown to allow me to filter visible by file types.
- I had to force quit the application.
- See attached for referenced dropdown selector.

Save for Web broken in v24.2.x
Windows 10 x64 v1909.
In previous versions of Illustrator (up to v23.1), Save to Web would work correctly even when a file had multiple artboards. However in v 24x; the Save for Web is adding additional pixels around the image even when the artboard selected does not have additional space.
I have attached two screengrabs of the same file, one using AI2019 (correct)_ and the other using AI2020. In both cases the identical artboard is selected and same settings applied.
Further, if the 'crop to artboard' option is checked, then an additional line of transparent pixels appears in the outputted…
