Registration point and boundaries of a certain symbol jump when a document is opened
- Open the attached document (and review the steps from the GIF)
- Notice the second symbol's boundaries are giant (although the registration point is displayed within the artboard), and the Symbols panel seemingly shows nothing in its thumb
- Double click the second symbol to edit it
- The symbol opens and jumps into the middle of its giant boundaries, and the registration point moves as well
- Exit the mode
- The symbol is now displayed in its intended place, has normal boundaries, has the registration point in the same place, has a normal thumb...

File Folder Permanent Deletion Bug
I was opening up a file, and right clicked on a folder to rename it. My finger slipped, and I clicked "move to trash" which is right next to "rename"
The folder disappeared.
Ctrl Z did not restore it
IT WAS NOT IN THE TRASH.
It was GONE.
Please investigate why files/folders are PERMANENTLY DELETED if you attempt to rename them in the open file menu and slip and hit 'move to trash' by simple mistake, or at least give a warning about PERMANENT DELETION. I am very upset to have lost a couple hours' work this way.
Edit: The…

Hitting Alt Makes Cursor Look/Feel Laggy and Slow
This has been going on for MANY years/versions of Illustrator and I've seen many posts here about the issue but it's yet to be resolved or have any work arounds.
All you have to do to replicate the bug is to hit alt (don't even need to hold it) and assuming you're on a high refresh rate monitor you will instantly feel input lag and see the cursor moving at what appears to be 30fps or less, until you left click with mouse, then it will go back to normal. When you hit ALT there should be no difference in…

Magic Wand tool selects things it shouldn't
In the video below, I have four shapes: two black squares with a transparent stroke (i.e., no stroke), a black square with a gold stroke, and a red square with a gold stroke. The tolerance level in the Magic Wand palette is set to zero for both strokes and fills.
If "Fill Color" only is checked, and you click on a plain black square with the Magic Wand tool, both plain black squares and the black square with the gold fill are selected as expected.
If "Stroke Color" only is checked, and you click on a plain black square, both…

Changing text case switches hyphenation on ( from off )
Switching the text case from one case to another turns hyphenation on if it was previously set to off.
I believe this is a new bug in v 27.9. ( today's date is Oct 5 ,2023 for the record )
This is especially bad becuase users have been asking for hyphenation to be OFF by default. Asking for years and years. 5+ years I think.

Blend Tool Not Distributing Spaces Correctly
When using the blend tool and selecting the "distance between" mode, it is messing up. If I want as many steps as is possible with 3./4" gap between them, I used to be able to select blend and apply distance and the gap would remain constant at 3/4" between pieces that blended. Now, the space is being changed each time which eliminates the utility of distance between. Please fix this, it's ruining the blend mode. If this is the way you are doing it, you need to add a Distance Bertween function that calculates a constant distance between graduating elements.…

Eliminate the "sticky" selection tool
The latest 27.8.1 version selection tool acts like a magnet after an object selection and will often drop/release the selected object with wild and random predictability. It's a horrible bug. Unfortunately, I have to use Illustrator in my job. This is nothing like I've seen in all the decades of using Illustrator. Lots of UNDOs. I'm going to revert back to the previous version.

Can't move the Recolor Panel on a small screen
My screen resolution is 1366 x 768, I am facing this problem since I started using this laptop (HP EliteBook 850 G3): everything in Illustrator is working fine, but I am not able to move Recolor Panel, because the top section of recolor panel is hidden under the ruler, I have to hide the ruler and how somehow hardly I can move the panel.

Illustrator's Extended Artboard scaling PDFs down 10% (normal), but ALSO changing resolution of placed raster images. (not normal)
I work with people providing oversized graphics for convention displays. The new extended artboard is welcome, and people are using it, and when they export to PDF for print, the giant dimensions gets scaled down to 10% so it's compatible with older PDF versions. And then the printer can just scale 1000% to make the layout its normal size. While this is awkward, it's fine and can work.
But what I discovered today is that scaling down to 10% changes the resolution of placed raster images. So, when that file gets scaled up 1000% any placed images are a lower…

.svg QR code generated with Adobe Express does not open properly
When I generate .svg QR codes in Adobe Express, I cannot open them properly in Illustrator. An error message appears. There is a way to manually correct it, but well, it would be useful to save this hassle.

Illustrator 27.9 introduces severe choppiness when panning with fingers on trackpad rather than Hand tool
When panning with the Hand tool, performance remains intact and panning is smooth. When using trackpad or mouse to move the canvas, frame rate is severely low, 10 fps, even on an empty document. This is a new issue that has existed in the past but had been resolved sometime in the past year or two.
Using a MacBook Pro with M2 Max 38-core GPU running macOS Ventura 13.5.2, the latest as of now.
This issue reduces efficiency and hampers productivity, making it unpleasant to navigate small documents and impossible to navigate large ones with multiple dartboards.

All symbol instances reset after in-place editing the master instance
Ai 2023 (27.7 it says in the info), MacBook Pro, MacOS Ventura (13.3.1 (a)). When I enter an in-place symbol editing mode, and, still in that mode, enter another in-place editing mode (so there are two nested symbol editing modes), and, delete some path in the nested symbol, all instances of that symbol get reset, and work (in our case a lot of work) is lost.
When I first exit the initial symbol editing mode, and then enter the symbol editing mode for the other symbol (thus avoiding the nesting of editing modes), the instances don't reset.
