Add an option to constrain Illustrator to only move the selected object
In Adobe Illustrator, it's frustrating that when I select an object and attempt to move it, the software sometimes selects and moves a different nearby object instead—even though I clicked precisely on the one I had already selected.
I would like an option to constrain Illustrator to always operate on the currently selected object, ignoring nearby objects unless I explicitly reselect something else.
This behavior would be similar to Photoshop's "Auto-Select Layer" toggle, where users can choose whether to transform the currently selected layer or automatically switch to a different one based on the click location.
Such an option would…

[Illustrator 2025, 29.1][Win11 23H2] Installed ICC Color Profiles Become Unavailable After System Shutdown
My Win11 has fast boot disabled, so it gets completely shut down rather than just hibernated.
Once I shut down the computer and start it again, all installed ICC profiles disappear from View > Proof Setup > Custom... > Device to Simulate
They reappear after deleting the following files:
1) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ACECache11.lst
2) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Color\ACEConfigCache2.lst

Move Tool Malfunction
I can't select the move tool properly-- or any other tool in this case. The main selected tool is stuck in the hand tool. After a while, it switches to the move tool and it gets crazier!!
Whenever I select a layer or an object, there's a 1-3 second delay. Can this be fixed? My projects are affected. I tried resetting the app already.

Latest version of illustrator (v29.1) does not export pngs with the same pixel placements as the one before.
Export from the new version of illustrator places artwork off center: Up and to the left slightly. This causes SO much work in our pipeline, please fix this urgently.

Ghosting and image retention in UI panels of Illustrator & Photoshop with 5k Monitor
Since Illustrator 29 and new Photoshop I suffer an annoying ghosting bug on my LG Ultra Fine Monitor with 5k (at an iMac Pro from 2017). It is only related to Adobe products related and does not appear in any other app!
Even if the panels or windows are not in the foreground, while using e.g. a browser window for some time in front, there appears a ghosting in the tool panels from the window which is in the background of the UI panels, at the moment when switching back to Illustrator.
This is really annoying.
Switching Illustrator to any…

Banding and fragmentation of color gradients in Illustrator
In an old Illustrator CS6 vector, the gradients became banded and fragmented when I opened them in the newer Illustrator. I layered the gradients with the screen blending mode. I used to have no problems with this vector file, but the problem appeared in my new Illustrator (29.1). What the problem could be?

Significant Performace Issues after Updating to V29.1
I'm having significant issues using Illustrator 25 v29.1 and it's very frustrating as I'm using the program for work related activities. Any time I try to alt+drag and artboard to copy it, I get the spinning wheel of death on my Macbook Pro. Even if I try to Command+C and Command+V paste the artboard, I have the same issue. And when I look at how much memory is being used, it's not alot so I don't undertand what is happening. I've reset preferences, restarted the application, restarted the program and still have the same issue. Whereas a file of the…

Star shape expand not working in 2025 update
Illustrator 29 (2025 update) on Mac - The live shapes are great, and I was able to create a cog, but I can't expand the shape like in the previous versions, and the corners stay "live." In properties panel, I click on "Expand Shape" but the shape stays editable as if it's still "live" - see screenshots attached.
