  1. anchor point position

    Hello !
    So, the issue is with the anchor point placement on the Art-board. At one stage the bug happens and i am not free to move my anchor points where i want,
    or i create a new file and it happens from this moment on. It is not linked with any of the preferences, resolution, snap to grid etc.. i tried them all.

  2. 3D - Extrude - Isometric Top is skewed so edge does not run parallel with Isometric - Right

    I made a square out of vertical rectangles of alternating colour and wanted to make it into each face of a cube.

    However, 3D - Extrude - Isometric Top (with no bevel or shading) effect is slightly skewed.

    Therefore, I cannot connect each anchor point to make a cube. See screenshot to see how the top's edge veers away from the right side.

  5. App Window size enlarges to fill all available Monitor space

    Have the window fill 60% of monitor space instead of 100%, so user can select the window size according to needs.

  7. iCloud drive

    Illustrator thinks links are gone when files are being stored in iCloud Drive (even though the cloud version is still in the same folder on my computer). Please allow Illustrator to download linked files in iCloud Drive automatically so I don't have to download and relink manually.

  10. Generally cumbersome, especially copying and pasting.

    Just a horrible program all together. Whatever happened to the Illustrator of days past? I think the program has become SO complex as it has "evolved" that it has become bogged down and quirky. Just to try to copy and paste a whole segment made up of multiple points is irritating. Why can't it paste a section, as opposed to just select segments of an object, when I choose the selection tool to do this. (I know not to use the direct selection tool for this).

    It is just SO cumbersome, and without a lot of the commands or nice…

  16. Disappearing Blinking Cursor

    This was previously listed as COMPLETED for "Dialog box text selection missing blinking cursor", but the fact is that this issue is STILL occurring.

    Can you all please fix this blinking cursor issue? This has been happening for a while now and it still hasn't been fixed. Some people have suggested that resetting the preferences fixes this issue, but resetting the preferences does NOT fix the issue.

    It seems to occur when you change the "User Interface" color to either the lightest grey or the 2nd to lightest grey (see attached file).

    When you change your User Interface to one…
