Actions forget locations of files
I have an action to add a proof header at the top of a page. The header is an Illustrator file that is in a fixed location. However, about once a week or so, the Action forgets the location of the file. I have to fix the action, then quit and restart Illustrator to restore it.
Mac OS 11.6.7. Illustrator 2021 (Still on 2021 for compatibility with customers' art departments)
Circumstances: action that opens, copies, closes, then pastes art on working document.
When it works, it places the header on the page I'm working on.

Scripting Issue on MacOS Monterey
We had this script for Illustrator that will export PDF and images with predefined presets. This was working until some of our team upgraded their macOS to Monterey.
When they tried to run the script it will create a PDF and images with different file names, we are expecting that it will have the same file name from the AI file.
EXPECTED RESULT:
AI File: 02020-MVP-3.ai
Exported Files:
- 0202-MVP-3-THUMBNAIL.png
- 0202-MVP-3-FULL.png
- 0202-MVP-3.pdfACTUAL RESULT:
AI File: 02020-MVP-3.ai

Clipping Mask broken in SVG export if name contains hyphen
An Illustrator document that contains a clipping mask will not export correctly if the path used for clipping has a - in the name.
In the resulting SVG code, the path definition looks like this:
<rect id="clipping-path" ... >
but the reference to it looks like this:
<use xlink:href="#clipping_x002D_path" ... >
You can see that the - was converted to "x002D" for the "use" tag, but not for the "rect" tag.
Test files attached.

Properties panel interface spacing bug
The Properties panel is displayed with extra spaces between all the fields,
it's to the point where you have to scroll down to view the quick actions.I tried resetting preferences and reinstalling yet it's still showing in the same way.
I'm trying zooming in and out on the panel with Ctrl + mouse wheel but it doesn't seem to work.
Here are some screenshots of the Properties panel
Any proposition to find a solution to this annoying interface bug is welcome.
Thank you

Previous illustrator version open with wrong size
This is a BUG, not an idea…
Details of your operating system: MacOS Catalina
The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 26.3.1
The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
I created a file with 100% size to send to a printer. I have the most recent version but they have a previous version. When they open the file, object size is 10x smaller. What can be causing these and how can it be solved?I'm sending screenshots

Holding Ctrl does not enable Constrain Proportions for artboards
If I have the Constrain Width and Height Proportions lock button depressed/disabled in the Control panel or for the Artboard tool, committing a change with Ctrl+Enter does not apply the change constrained, as it should do.
Hitting Ctrl+Enter in Properties panel does not do anything at all. Properties is so broken.

Please fix macOS Help > Search in menubar. It freezes and beachballs in Illustrator 2021 and 2022 even on new installs on new machines.
Something changed in the past couple versions of Illustrator that messes up macOS workflows. If you use the Help > Search bar to search the File, Edit, View etc menubar options, the app will freeze for a while and show the spinning beachball. This drastically slows down workflows that used to work.
This happens on Intel macs (including iMac Pro) as well as Apple Silicon macs (M1 Max) on new installs, fresh users. Extremely consistent. Searchbar used to work fine on all previous versions of Illustrator like CC 2019

Translation error (German)
When opening a file in illustrator with missing fonts, a window pops up to replace or activate fonts. There is a translation error in the German version of Illustrator 26.3.1 on mac OS 11.6.7.
The english word "Type" was translated to "Typ" instead of "Schrift".
This translation error seems to be common in other languages as far as i can see it here on uservoice.

Illustrator is incompatible with Windows 11 sleep mode
My Windows 11 laptop (Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360) heats up and excessively drains battery when Illustrator is open and the laptop has been put into sleep mode. My laptop heats up even more while been plugged in and in "sleep mode" with illustrator open. These issues has forced me to use the hibernation mode for example during commuting.

Blending paths with brushes and width profiles works wrong.
Create two lines.
Apply art or pattern brushes to both of them.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.Scatter, calligraphic, and bristle brushes won't let you edit the width profile. I did however test with two calligraphic brush paths with different pressure curves and that was ignored for the intermediary paths. Please test this with bristle and scatter brushes as well.
(this is essentially a reopening of https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41634754-blending-paths-with-width-profiles-works-wrong with a feature that was missed when originally implementing it, as such I just copied and edited Egor's…

3D Extrude doesn't treat a group as a group
I’ve got a logo I need to extrude, but Illustrator appears to be treating each object within the logo as having a separate instance of the 3D Extrude effect applied. You can see an example in the attached video – I add the effect and the preview is exactly what I’d expect, but when AI renders the effect, each object loses the perspective it has in the preview.

線幅プロファイルが付加されたパスに対するブレンドを指定すると表示に時間がかかる。
Illustrator 26.3.1
OS macOS10.15.7(Intel)/Windows10問題の説明:
線幅プロファイルが指定されたパス同士をブレンドした場合、再描画に相当な負荷がかかります。アクティビティモニターで確認するとCPU負荷が90%を超え、その状態が数秒続きます。その間Illustrator上ではレインボーカーソルが回り続けます。
なお、ver.25.4.1ではこの様な表示パフォーマンスの問題はありませんでした。再現手順:
1.直線をペンツールで2つ作成し、それぞれに線幅プロファイルを指定する。
2.そのパスに対してブレンドを指定しステップ数255とする。
3.意図通りの表示となるが、描画完了までに数秒かかりレインボーカーソルで待たされる。実際の結果:
微調整の為にアンカーポイントを移動したり線の設定などを変更するたびに数秒待たされる。期待された結果:
プロファイルを付加したパス同士のブレンドに対するパスポイントの調整でも以前のバージョンのようにスムーズに編集できる。回避方法:
パフォーマンスの問題のようですから、再描画が完了するまで待つか以前のバージョン(2021)を利用するしか無いようです。※添付のベンチマーク用データではシンボルの編集終了から通常の編集画面に戻るまでに1分近くを要します。

Cloud Documents Do Not Open (Urgent)
There is a bug that I have been experiencing for some time with my cloud documents in Adobe Illustrator. Like any other day at work, I'll open up illustrator and go to open one of my cloud files that are accessible on the home screen under 'your files'. However, these files for some reason have become unresponsive to my clicking on them. Double-clicking on them to open results in absolutely nothing happening. I can move the file around to new folders and other functions under the three dots, but I cannot simply open the file by clicking on it. This…
