Illustrator highlights anchors on mouse over when anchors are below other objects
Mouse hints sometimes don't accurately communicate what the user is about to do
As an example of the problem, create one rectangle with a fill, then create a second rectangle with a fill that encompasses one of the points of the first rectangle. Then, using the direct selection tool, hover over that point. The mouse hint indicates that the user is about to select that point. Click, and the second rectangle will be selected instead, because it is over top of the point.
If that point can't be selected in this way, the mouse hint shouldn't make it appear as…

Reshape Tool’s markers don’t conform the Anchor Points, Handle, and Bounding Box Display Size' parameter
Reshape Tool is a rather hidden tool within Illustrator’s toolbox.
It never received any updates (as many other tools) in last decades, and got even worse thanks to one specific improvement.Illustrator today allows to increase size of anchor points, handle, and other control markers (referred below as just 'markers') with a dedicated parameter in the Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section). It helps to transform and edit paths on higher DPI displays — a good feature.
...but Reshape Tool marks its control points with squares slightly larger than a normal point... a normal point of a smallest marker’s…

A general un-usability
I use a Mac desktop. Illustrator 28.1. There is a lot going wrong for me when using Illustrator lately. Overall it crashes itself like crazy as well as makes other apps on my computer not work when running it. It won't open sometimes, won't respond when in illustrator. Won't let me access the tool panel, so I have to force quit and re-open my not saved file. There are artifacts that will randomly show up in my art board. It's acting as if Illustrator is taking up way more memory than usual. I have been just having to force quit…

Intense Lag Illustrator 24 (Windows11)
I have intense lag regardless of file size. Whenever I begin to zoom or pan, display takes at least 5 seconds to update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator. Upon reinstall, the software works perfectly fine. When I close it, then reopen, the lag persists.

Get the color wheel cloud to work properly
I teach 5th grade and we made color using the Adobe Color wheel. Then when we went into our libraries in Illustrator those palettes showed up for only about 1/2 the kids. No idea why. When I did it I also did not get the colors I saved to show up in my Illustrator color library. Even weirder when I open Illustrator on a Windows device (instead of Mac) the color DO show up.

Last used SVG export settings not retained
When saving a lot of SVG files that use the same settings, it would be great if Illustrator remembered the last used setttings after you have quit the app and restarted it the next day.
I have attached a screenshot showing the desired settings. However, Illustrator does not remember the SVG font subsetting, image location and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' options.
The SVGs are saved using the Save As… dialogue window with 'Use Artboards' selected.

"export for screens" beachball bug
I am on a M2 MBA running the latest macOS. I have a bluetooth Logitech MX master 3S. I have illustrator 28.1
When using 'Export for Screen', if I have a document with 20+ artboards, there is a scrollbar on the Artboards tab.
If I use the mouse LEFT BUTTON to drag the scrollbar or use the mouse LEFT BUTTON to click on the arrows on the scrollbar, Illustrator will beachball and I have to use Force Quit to close it.
If I use the mouse WHEEL to scroll the panel, I am able to make my selections - the…

Illustrator AI - high volume
I'd like to have a better understanding of this problem - I originally posted in the community discussion but was told I would need to repost here so that's what I'm doing.
I've been getting this error with one of my projects since this morning and since I can still use it by closing that project and opening another - I don't think the problem is really "High volume"
- I do have a prompt that's about 3 paragraphs which could be the problem but if that's the case, Adobe really should be limiting the characters, not just saying that there…

Brush palette inconsistent with Direct Selection Tool
I select a path drawn with the brush tool using Direct Select then click another brush. Sometimes the brush is applied to the path, sometimes it isn't, although the brush is shown to have changed as expected in the brush palette.
If the brush is not applied as described, when I deselect the path and select it again it reverts to showing the original brush.
I'm sure this has happened since the latest update (28.1, 64 bit, Win 10). I work with brush tool a lot and this is introducing a lot of irritation and wasted time to my projects.

Replace File doesn't work (creates new file)
I opened an EPS file, made changes, and then saved. When I saved I was alerted that the file already existed and asked if I wanted to replace the file. I selected Replace. However, Illustrator ignores my selection and creates a new file with '-01' amended onto the end of the file name.

Illustrator reopens after quitting
I'm on macOS 14.2.1 and Illustrator 28.1.
When I quit illustrator it automatically reopens immediately. Workaround: close the app via the dock (secondary click > quit).
I uninstalled Illustrator and reinstalled it, but the problem persists.
