Touch gestures stop working after using pen
When I start Illustrator the finger gestures (two finger pinch etc.) work fine. After touching the screen with stylus, gestures stop working until restart. AI 23.0.6/Windows 10 1903/stylus AES on Lenovo Yoga

Illustrator crashes with every use. First, the drop menus depopulate, next the save dialog box dissapears, and then the program freezes
My issues with illustrator 2019 started with previous update, but I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1903 and it's still a problem. Seems I've been lucky though to have this only happen to me recently. People have been raising their hands on this being an issue for them since October 2018! Unbelievable. So what's the solution?

DXF files on a Mac interpreted wrongly
I often have to import DXF drawing files of model glider plans. For a few years now, over several versions of Illustrator, I noticed that I am missing lines and solved the problem by selecting the missing and finding similar stroke weights, hoping it would find them all.
Today I had a discussion over Skype with a friend who runs Illustrator on a PC on which the plan files view perfectly correctly, so there appears to be a problem in the Mac Illustrator version. I have attached a pdf file showing the difference in display

transform rotate not working as it should
Draw a vertical line.
Choose Object > Rotate
Change the degrees and click Copy.
The original has now rotated the chosen amount and made a copy at the same time.
The original vertical line should still be there, and a new one (the copy) should be at an angle. Not both rotated.

Lag and Illustrator "Not Responding" after copy command
The platform is: Illustrator 23.0.6 64-bit, on Win10 Enterprise 1903 latest updates, and with nVidia drivers R430 U5 (431.70).
The bug is that Illustrator freezes for ~5 seconds after/during a simple copy command, and "Not Responding" is displayed on the top title bar. This can be induced by just opening a new file, drawing a rectangle, then trying to copy it (with Ctrl-C or with the menu command).
This is destroying my workflow...

Moving paths very slow if not dragged at the center
Ex: Create a circle
click at the center of the circle with a selection tool and drag. The path moves fast as expected. But if click elsewhere on the circle and drag, the path moves very slowly.

Illustrator file closes without warning/saving if accidentally re-opened while canceling errors / relink prompts
If you unintentionally open an Illustrator file to open it but realize it was one that was already open, it's possible to lose any changes you've made to that file without warning.
Steps to repeat:
1. Open a file that results in a dialog box to show before completely opening (mismatched color profile, missing links, etc).
2. Modify the document in some way, but do not save it.
3. Return to Explorer and open the file again.
4. When the Illustrator brings up a dialog box, click cancel instead of ok.
5. The document you had open will close without…5 votes -
Adobe Sketch inaccurate. No Product against which to report
Please See forum post entitled “Adobe sketch accuracy questioned”
On iPad Air, iOS 12.4, Sketch 4.7.1 drawing occurs displaced from centre of stylus, toward to of device.
Gave up using Sketch in Sep 2017 as this was a show stopper for me. I don’t understand how anybody can use it like this. It is such a fundamental issue that I cannot believe it has not been addressed. Others in the forum post discussion agreed it was a bug and the question seems to have been answered - it is a bug.
Came back to look at Sketch again 2 years…

Simplify preview problem
When I choose Path > Simplify… and have the preview button checked, the simplification happens as many times as I adjust the percentage. ie it will simply to 99% and the 97% of 99%.
Whether I click OK or Cancel, all of the actions have been performed and I have to press undo until it is back to normal.
This problem arrived at the same time as the scale/rotate/reflect etc preview issue (which have now been fixed thank god).1 voteHi,

Show Character Alternates
"Show Character Alternates" checkbox under the Type preference pane is not clickable. While trying to disable the annoying Glyph popup window I discovered that I cannot change this preference setting. I was able to change the setting by manually directly editing Illustrators preference file manually which reflects the change when relaunching the program, however it can not be changed through the UI.

Raster images should always honor the layer order and transparency values when scaling/moving/rotating
When moving/rotating/scaling Raster images should always honor the layer order and transparency values.
With "show images in outline mode" selected, I often drop in low res raster images on the bottom layer and outline them with the pen tool in higher level layers.. problem is the way illustrator handles raster images. If i draw a line on top of a raster image, then attempt to scale that raster image, my line is temporarily hidden while scaling, moving or rotating the raster image, making it nearly impossible to re-align my raster image to match newly drawn vector lines. Also, raster images…

Illustrator looses workspace settings
Good day. My problem is that I worked for a very long time in Adobe Photoshop (cs3,4,5,6, cc). But Ai surprised me - to make a backup of the workspace I have to go to AppData / Roaming / Adobe / Illustrator etc. and make a copy of the folder, because when I open a new document, I get a completely different space. (Export/import settings do not help) Why can’t you transfer the settings to the program, and not to the open document? Every time I do as I feel comfortable and every time I reduce the Tool panel, because…
