BRING BACK FUNCTIONALITY OF ACTIONS
As we all know all too well, the "engineering team" adds to and removes features from AI, apparently completely without considering its effective use or convenience.
Their latest trick: many operations won't record automatically anymore in Actions going from v23 to v24. Please bring that back.
Functions not recorded anymore so far:
– Create text frame
– Cmd/ctrl-0 Fit Artboard in Window
– Save As (including location, file type eg PDF and its settings)
– CloseI you find more please add them to the list.
I'm getting so tired of this ignorant behaviour!

Problem with elements' IDs when export to SVG
Sometimes when I export an AI file with some elements' names to an SVG file, it renames the IDs like if there are some duplicates.
Usually I can fix it by renaming the "duplicate" elements with a dummy name and then rename them back, but often it doesn't work and I have to delete the file and work on a new one, copying and pasting only the "safe" elements and redrawing the "duplicate" ones.
Sometimes it appends a special character on the IDs and when it happen I always have to work on a new file.

Scrollbars missing - Windows 10 - build 23.1 (64 bit)
The scrollbars are missing when I open a file with multiple artboards. I see the zoom percent and artboard navigation inputs but they are floating almost 150px above where they should be. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
This issue only goes away for the current session when I fiddle with the UI settings, but comes back when I next start Illustrator.1 vote -

delete anchor point tool selecting bottom object
When two anchors of different objects are layered on top of one another, the delete anchor point tool will always select the bottom object, whether I have the top object selected or not. The add anchor point tool and direct selection will select the top object, but I want to be able to delete the anchor from the top object without having to go into isolation mode. This wasn't the case in the previous version.

Text fields not immediately active when renaming library items
Renaming library items takes several steps to ensure you are in the text field and any keyboard commands will not trigger tools/menu items.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on an object,
2. Drag to Library panel—often takes several times as noted in the video
(the libraries panel and new documents from libraries is flawed and not as efficient as Adobe Max presentations allude to, but that's another post)
3. After item successfully copied to Libraries, right click it in the libraries panel and click Rename
4. CLICK AGAIN ON THE TEXT FIELD OF THE LIBRARY ITEM

A new artboard created in a template with two artboards gets 'Artboard 2' name instead of 'Artboard 3'
My default document I use to begin projects has two artboards. If I add a third artboard, it will be named "Artboard 2" and I have to go into the settings and rename it "Artboard 3" in order to print properly.

Illustrator 2020 on 4K monitor
Has Illustrator been designed to work on 4K monitors with AMD GPUs? Because my experience is that it isn't; the performance is horrific. Same goes for InDesign and Bridge. Will this ever be addressed?

`let` declarations not supported in .jsx files
Running this script:
let foo = "Foo";
const bar = "Bar";
alert(foo + bar);produces the following error:
Error 25: Expected: ;.
Line: 1
-> let foo = "Foo";However, replacing
letwithconstworks fine. According to this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/legacy-and-extend-script-engine.html), ES6 language features are ostensibly supported, but onlyvarandconstbindings seem to work.1 vote -

⌘ + = Zooming Won't Work After Recent Update
Since the most recent update 24.0.3 a couple days ago, the keyboard command to zoom in ⌘ + =, no longer works on MacBook Pro 2017 running Catalina 10.15.3 (both internal keyboard and bluetooth). Seems to be an Adobe issue as colleagues in my office are also experiencing the same problem which requires us to now use the Zoom tool. Note: the ⌘ + - combo to zoom out still functions for some reason.

Wrong fonts when importing PDF
When opening a PDF in Ai, (almost) all text becomes the font 'Montserrat' despite the correct fonts are loaded. There were no errors, and it doesn't gives any 'missing fonts' errors either.
