Ver 23.03 Adding text deletes new layer
When I create a new layer, and select the Type tool and create a new character or type element, AI automatically deletes my new layer and adds the text to a locked layer that I previously created.

Illustrator slow on Retina display
Hi,
Adobe Illustrator is running slow/lagging on a Retina display (Zooming, using overprint preview). Doing the same operations when the document is located on an external monitor (Dell, no hdpi), all works well.
I've tried switching between GPU/CPU rendering, disabling animated zoom, removing the preferences, ... without any luck.
Does anyone have any idea's on how to solve this?
I'm using a MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 450 2048MB...
Thanks

Mouse scrolling
Mouse wheel scrolling is almost non-responsive.
Whether I want to scroll up or down, or zoom using the alt key, the mousewheel is almost non-responsive. Only scrolling 1 or 2 frames for every 6-10 mouse wheel scrolls.
Mouse wheel scroll works fine on Photoshop and Indesign. Only Illustrator presenting this issue

Character/Paragraph panels - lazy and/or incorrect updating
Illustrator 23.0.3 on Win10
It is vitally important to me that the Character and Paragraph panels tell me the truth at all times: an accurate description of the properties in play based on the selected text or the cursor position if nothing is selected.
I constantly run into the problem where I select a line of text and the 'space before' and 'space after' controls in the Paragraph panel are completely wrong. Clicking the up/down arrows on the controls will change the displayed (wrong) value, and the text will suddenly leap to god-knows-where, rather than the desired "up or down…

export directory
"Export as" exports to the parent directory, rather than the selected directory. This appears to happen more often if the target directory is created from within the dialogue.

Embedded images are lost when saving as a PDF
When I save a .ai file as a .pdf, many of the embedded .psd images are missing when I open the PDF in Acrobat. I have reinstalled Illustrator (2019) and Acrobat (Pro DC), but the problem persists. I have tried saving using different pdf formats, but the images are still missing in the PDF. If, however, I open the PDF in Illustrator, the images reappear. Thoughts?

Bezier Curves break on circles when compounding shapes.
1) Windows 10, Illustrator 23.0.3(64bit)
2) Experienced a bug while compounding a shape into a circle, this managed to break the Bezier curve. This became an issue with a plot cutter slicing from one point to another in graphics production. The issue can be seen when compounding a shape. After using the pathfinder to minus a shape, two live corner appear in the center of the selection. When pulled the live corners on the circle create angled points.1 vote -
Fill with overprint set does not align with the path
Paths not aligned to fill or actual graphic on Illustrator 23.0.3 (CC 2019).
Not sure when it happens or how but it will randomly not move the fill with the path lines. Changing the colour or selecting some edges of the path will make it bounce to the correct position.
The file will print with the fill moved.
Once it is corrected it you can't undo problem without reopening the file that is saved like this.
My best guess and only thing I have noticed different about this paths that are wrong is it has a overprint fill turned on.…

Screen Mode/Application positioning bug
On Windows 10. Toggling the screen mode does produces UI rendering bugs. But also I am entirely unable to get back to a windowed view, or move the window by any means (either dragging or the menu option behind the logo)

Zoom Blur gets cut off, no matter how large the padding value is
At high amounts, the blur effect from zoom blur gets cut off (specifically with text, whether the text is rasterized or not. I haven't tested other shapes). It's related to the "add x amount of space around objects" setting (though no number actually fixes it. It is easy to see when you compare the effect in Illustrator to the effect in Photoshop.
You guys really need to work on Illustrator's effect system. It's the one thing no other vector app has, but some things don't work or aren't effective because we have less control than we do in Photoshop.

Missing fonts issue
It's not reading Adobe fonts. It keeps saying to activate the font every time I open a document. The program hangs trying to activate a font, making the file not work properly "without" a font that was perviously activated.

Slow Mouse & shaking Cursor

Please remove this bug which is on illustrator since a long time (perhaps 2014/2015 version or before :/ ). It would be time to give a better UX on it because it's really boring.

Fills rendered not accurate compared to edges when using GPU mode
I noticed a small rendering issue with strokes in GPU mode. The boundaries seem to be somewhat inaccurate, to the point that in certain situations (regardless of whether or not they're joined and by any method), suck as a tee shape, a small bulge of one stroke can appear beyond the edge of another, even though they shouldn't.
See attached pictures, the problem area is circled. It is subtle, but visible. There is a slight bulge extending outwards towards the right, presumably from the horizontal path at that junction. This is incorrect, the paths are joined and have identical stroke…

You must reset the workspace every time you open Illustrator to keep one column toolbar
