Changing color doesn't work sometimes
This bug goes long way back, as far as I remember using illustrator, both on PCs and Macs.
Sometimes (usually in text objects, but not only), when I pick a different swatch to change an object's color, the color in the swatch palette changes, but the object's color remains the same.
To resolve this, I have to choose "None" as the color, and then choose the color I want.3 votes -
Appearance panels not consistent
For some reason, the two ways to inspect the Appearance of the selection do not reflect the same information.
In the small panel a triangle with an exclamation mark appeared to make note of the fact that two strokes are applied and I should check the Appearance panel.. Why not show the correct Appearance information in all Appearance panels?
See screenshot.

プロパティパネル等のテキストボックス内のテキストが切れる
macOS11.6.8・Windows10Pro 21H2
ver.27.5プロパティパネル等のテキストボックスに入力の際、テキストがボックス内に収まらず数値を確認しずらい。環境設定でUIスケールを小さくすると表示はましになるが、一部がテキストボックスのエッジにかかってしまう。UIスケールを大きくするとベースラインが大きくシフトし上部が３割程度隠れてしまう。
再現手順
1.ドキュメントを開く
2.プロパティパネルを開き、ドキュメント上のオブジェクトを選択する。
3.パネル内のテキストボックスの数値の上部または下部が切れて表示される。期待する結果
各テキストボックス内の数値が切れずに表示される。現状
テキストボックス内の数値が切れて表示される。これは、以前からの不具合でUIの設計が元々欧文フォントで行われ、ローカライズの際に日本語フォントに置き換えた際に日本語フォントに最適化されない事が原因ではないかと考えます。以下のコミュニティーページに参考になる情報があります。
※添付の画像はUIスケールを大きくした場合のものです。

Isolation mode requires more than 2 clicks
I have to double click several times to enter isolation mode when an asset is in multiple nested groups.
It was not apparent I needed to double click multiple times to drill down into subgroups until writing this feedback and observing the program much more closely.
I was trying to enter isolation mode by rapidly clicking on the element I wanted to isolate, but Illustrator does not drill down into a deeper group unless there is a pause in clicks. It is therefore possible to click on an element 10-20 times in quick succession which is interpreted as only a…

Illustrator window moves behind all other windows when you reposition the frame

Unknown error when placing PDF in illustrator
An unknown error occurs when placing PDF files into Illustrator. This appears to be an M1 issues as it does not occur on the Intel platforms or when I launch the Intel version on the M1 System.

Can you verify this works as expected in later Illustrator builds? It seems like the problem was fixed.

Freeform gradient gets stuck on color stop mode
I created a circle with a freeform gradient and when I tried to deselect the gradient, it would not deselect the color stops inside the gradient. Even when I had another object selected and tried to change the fill color, it said "color stop" was selected to fill in the top left corner. I also tried switching to my other open projects and the problem was still occurring even in projects with no gradients.

Program closes when opening documents or creating new ones!
HELP PLEASE! Ilustrator starts but it doesn´t allow me to open any document nor create a new one, it closes and doesn´t give me any error code. It´s been a week now and a can´t find a way to solve it. i have tried 27.5 version and many others like 26.5, 26 and the problem continues.
I´ve tried reseting preferences, upgrading and downgrading versions, reinstalling and this keeps happening.
Photoshop, after effects and all other programs work perfectly fine.
Drivers, graphics and controllers don´t seem to solve nothing either.

Can't import complex file into new layout - Unknown error

compound paths and gradients
So I made a pie chart, then applied 3D, expanded its appearance, and then made it a compound path to apply a gradient to it and it has been **** on earth to work with. It has funny artifacts that I can't even edit or look at. One of the elements fills the element with the gradient instead of just the outline. I managed to fix it by moving it around and playing with it but it will probably happen again.

Old files quirks - SAVING and more
I have occasionally had problems with files not saving.
Today I have a specific example in case some dev people want to look at if: https://stock.adobe.com/579753145
The document seems to be plain eps (or maybe oldest Illustrator version ever).
When I open it in illustrator to just look at it, 27.5 on windows occasionally seems to keep some filehandle open (so I cannot make a change and "save as")
If that does not happen,, and I try to save, I get the "save as" dialogue, but in the end the file does not change. In detail: the documentAfterSave event is…1 vote -
Exporting Artboards
When I try exporting an artboard lets say as a PNG and put in that specific artboard, the preview comes up as the wrong artboard, it is usually the first one. This has been going on for a while and I have just come to the realization that it is a bug because I cancel the export and then try again and it works.

Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!
When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.
I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYTfLfOpRU- Create a new file.
- Create one ore more text objects. And some other path objects too, if you like.
- Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
- Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
- Try to export the file (Export…

Illustrator fails to export all text into final pngs or jpegs
I have been exporting images with text layers and I've noticed Illustrator seems to indiscriminately not export certain lines of text (not layer groups to be clear, but random lines of text). I don't know how to replicate this issue because it appears random, but I did include pngs of the file that I had this issue with most recently.

Manually scaled text can’t be selected
If I click to select my text and double-click to scale manually, I am no longer able to select it again. If I want to select the text again I have to click and drag the select tool over other objects to select the text. Sometimes that works sometimes not. Doesn't work at all with a single object that's broken.

Blank screen on start up and missed new features on new v. 27.6 (English language on Windows 10)
Just updated to the new version 27.6 in English language on Windows 10 pro, at the start up the home screen is totally blank (only the layout color instead of open, new file etc. buttons). Anyway I'm able to open files o new files from the menu. There is no trace of the new Ai features or of the other improvements coming with this new release. I tried both update from the previous version and install from scratch after cancelled the previous one but with no results.
