Command Z not working for some functions
Using the keyboard shortcut for Undo does not work for some functions. Reordering layers does not respond to the keyboard shortcut but works via the Edit menu selecting Undo. Same issue with "Show All". Command Z doesn't work but selecting Undo from the Edit menu works.

Home Screen shows incorrect data at start of month
At the beginning of a month, the Home Screen reports inaccurate "last modified" dates on recently opened documents. For example, on 1st March, a document last opened on 28th February is reported as having been opened "1 month ago" instead of "1 day ago".

Any document created using Film & Video document profile gets a second 14400×14400 artboard
When creating a new document in the HDV/HDTV 1080 or other Film and Video-related workspaces, the artboard is initially created with the correct size. However, as soon as you add any object to this workspace outside of the borders of the artboard, a new artboard is automatically generated, and it is massive. This forces the user to manually remove the second artboard, which is unnecessary.
1 voteThe second artboard is not a bug, but a specifically designed behavior for later import to AfterEffects. It gives AE enough room to avoid clipping of the layer content to the main artboard size (basically a dummy for a pasteboard).
Here is a quote from The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book (found here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/146842/huge-unwanted-artboard-created-by-default-in-adobe-illustrator-cc-2020):
Тo create a composition to import into After Effects, use the Video & Film Document Profile (Film & Video in CC). This creates two artboards — one large artboard that serves as a "scratch" area for objects used later in AE, and one sized for your chosen video format.

Making a regular triangle with Star tool duplicates the path
Scissor tool cuts lines and duplicates them (completely broken)
Make a triangle by selecting the star and changing it to 3 lines (triangle), now cut one of the lines with the scissor. It duplicates the shape! This bug is seen across multiple shapes and lines. The scissor tool is broken along with selecting individual points often creates duplicate lines.
The quality of adobe products has just gone downhill in the last 5 years.

Placing an SVG file with View->Snap to Pixel enabled distorts the image
If I place an SVG file with View->Snap to Pixel enabled, some of the coordinates are displaced. See uploaded example, produced using version 28.3 (64-bit) on Windows 11. Unfortunately, the uservoice website won't let me upload a sample file.

Can't drag objects after creating text objects
V. 28.4.1. As soon as I create any text object, dragging objects is imposible, Illustrator won't let me move anything. Everything seems fine, until I create a text Objects, then moving anything is simply imposible. Restarting doesn't seem to work.

Translate Mistake
In the "Your files" in homepage and language setting as Traditional Chinese , there is a existing mistake about translation. In English, the word "Replicate" should be translated as "複製" in Traditional Chinese, rather than "复制" it's in Simplified Chinese. Hope your company can translate corresponding to the local language.

Illustrator 2024 resets most Preferences on restart
The issue with Preferences not saving is back. I have this problem with the 20243 version. How hard is it to fix this? It's SUPER annoying to have to change all of my preferences on a program I use daily.
EVERY time I restart illustrator, I loose all preferences except hot keys (thank god). I lose unchecking the real time drawing (because that's annoying), I lose units, I lose like most of what I set up. It's awful.

Align / Distribute ignores Constrain Angle
The Align and Distribute options do not take into account the Constrain Angle setting when the Constrain Angle is not equal to zero. In simpler terms, the Constrain Angle for Align and Distribute is always set to zero.

ADOBE: FOR GOD'S SAKE WILL YOU TRANSFER CUSTOM SETTINGS AFTER AN UPDATE ALREADY
ADOBE IT IS 2024.
FOR GOD'S SAKE -- AND THIS IS ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M YELLING -- ADD THE FOLLOWING CODE TO ALL ILLUSTRATOR UPDATES:
Copy <Old Custom Workspace AND Keyboard Settings> to <New Version>
Okay? It can't be that friggin' complicated. I'm trying to write a PowerShell VBA to do it, and I'm not a coder.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO MANUALLY GO IN AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL MY CUSTOM SETTINGS ARE LOCATED AND THEN MANUALLY COPYING THEM TO THE UPDATED FOLDER.
This might be too much for UX, but golly gee gosheroonies,…

Pressing Tab to Show All Palettes focuses a random third-party extension’s input on Windows
Reported by Enisio:
I use the Tab key a lot to hide/show panels, to instantly clear the panel clutter on the screen.
Pressing Tab activates RANDOM extension.This is bad, because I work with shortcut keys: T is for writingS for Scale, R for rotation, etc.
When an extension gets focused, I can’t call the tool I need and type something in the extension panel instead.Same thing with all the extensions below. I think all extensions behave this way. Has anyone ever paid attention?

Popups in the Appearance palette often lock up Illustrator.
Lately whenever I summon a popup in the Appearance palette, I will often find that Illustrator locks up with a spinning rainbow pinwheel. I have waited a while for it to return and it never does; I now consider this a cue to restart Illustrator and hope I saved recently, or that I got lucky with the crash recovery.
The two popups I get it with more often are the stroke/fill color, and the stroke. I've included screenshots of both to make it more obvious where to fool around. Next time this happens I'll come provide a file that does…

長方形を方向キーで変形すると途中から半端な寸法数値になる
MacOS12.7.3, Adobe Illustrator28.3
ドキュメント設定の単位、 環境設定の単位→一般・東アジア言語をミリメートル、環境設定の一般→キー入力を0.1 mmに設定。
長方形を描画し、shift＋方向キーの入力（1入力1mmの移動）で幅や高さを拡大または縮小していくと、4〜8回目くらいから中途半端な数値になります。方向キーのみでも何回めかに中途半端な数値になります。

Opacity for list objects (bulleted or numbered) lost after closing a file
When you reduce the opacity of a text object that contains a list - either just a list or a list plus "normal" text, that opacity gets deleted once you have saved the file. It's not even saved into the PDF part of the file.
If you apply the opacity at the Character level or if you create an additional fill for the text object and then apply reduced opacity, it works.Version 28.3
MacOS Monterey 12.7.1Please see also: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/bulleted-and-numbered-text-opacity-bug/m-p/14512837#M402363
