Wireframe Conversion of 3D objects distorts the paths, straightens curves
Converting 3D text to a wireframe often doesn’t show the curves of fonts correctly. During the process, these curves often turn into straight lines or rough shapes, losing the original look of the font or the 3D preview.

Changes made in acrobat PDF not reflected when opening in Illustrator
Sometimes, text and graphical changes made using Adobe Acrobat on PDF's are not reflected when opened in Illustrator. For example, a client sent a PDF file of a banner with a phone number on it, when viewed in Acrobat the number is different than the one in Illustrator because the client made the edit in Acrobat. It would sure be a great feature if a file would open properly in across different adobe products.

手書きの線画を画像トレースで取り込む時、パスが粗すぎて手書きのニュアンスが消えてしまいます。
以前のバージョンまでは、細かくトレースされていました。
イラスト制作が主な仕事なのですが、仕事に使用する上で致命的な欠点です。

Rearrange Artboards feature does not align to pixel grid
As per title, Rearrange Artboards feature does not align to pixel grid. First Artboard is aligned correctly to a whole number for both x and y. Run process and all artboards are then misaligned.
I found a workaround: select all artboards and then Object > Make Pixel Perfect but workarounds do not equal function.

Edit Toolbar menu gets hidden when a toolbar is too close to the bottom edge of the screen
If you have a custom toolbar and it’s positioned too close to the bottom of your screen, and you press the Edit Toolbar button — the portion of the 'drawer' with all the tool icons is positioned from the top of the toolbar, and it’s bottom half is missing... you can’t move it, scroll it, reach to the icons hidden — you have to close it, move the toolbar, and start editing it again.
Please position this 'dropdown menu' in a way it’s seen in full, or resized to fit into the screen, no matter where the toolbar is on…

Transparency Needed in Illustrator's Restricted Words Alert
I think when 'one or more words' violate the guidelines, Illustrator should clearly inform us what words these are exactly.
I guess this can be used for a bad cause, like to gather the database of restricted words... but I don’t understand why normal users should suffer because of this.2 votes -
Illustrator 2025 forgetting dialog box preferences and reverting to default settings, especially after closing or crashing.
New update to Illustrator 2025 seems to have issues with reverting back to interface defaults as if the app was never opened.
Example panels reverting back to default: missing fonts or font activation panel, pantone blue reminder alert strip, save dialog asking to save locally or via cloud — pretty much anything with a "don't show this again" box, Illustrator seems to forget at least a few times per week.
It also seems to be reverting keyboard shortcut commands back to default presets, though retains custom presets — you just have to go back into the keyboard shortcuts panel and change to…

Tip popup when zooming in and out (Alt key while brush is selected)
Whenever I zoom in and out using Alt + scroll wheel or a shortcut on my Wacom pencil, and have a Pencil or Brush selected, the smoothing tool pops up and gives this 'tip' that is obstructing my work. Turning tool tips off does not help.
'To smooth a section, select its anchor points with the direct selection tool and adjust the slider.'
It is really annoying, I'm not trying even trying to smooth the paths, just zooming! The tip stays on screen until I do something else, and pops back up whenever I hit alt. I know how the…
