0.1 degree tilt.
If you draw a square with the Rectangle tool, it is tilted by 0.1 degrees. The same thing happens with the Circle tool.

Live paint paths not updating
Since update 24.2, amending in a path will intermittently not update with live paint. The path will have moved, but the art will visually remain as it was. This especially happens with the curvature tool, and less often (but sometimes) with the pen tool.
I have real-time drawing turned on, as I did in my previous version.1 vote -
Stroke widths sizes are appearing thicker
on a previous file, the stroke was at 1pt. When using this file in the new version (24.2), the 1pt stroke now says .0139pt and if you change to a 1pt stroke, it now looks like a 10pt stroke.

Files save status (*) asterisk in title bar/filename does not seem to work anymore.
Files save status (*) asterisk in title bar/filename does not seem to work anymore. The little asterisk by the filename used to tell you if changes had been made to the open file. After a Save or Save As the asterisk would disappear. Now, it seems to always be there. If I do a Cmd-S to save and then a Cmd-W to close, the software still prompts for a save, even though no changes have been made. This is different than the behavior in previous versions.

No x- and y-values for rectangles in the top menu bar
The last Update 24.2 installed. When drawing a rectangle there are no more x- and y-values shown in the top menu bar!!! So they can’t be edited. Only the width and height is shown. How miserable.
1 voteI happens when the width of the screen is not wide enough to fit all the elements the Control panel can display. Some blocks, especially from the Transform section, get omitted.
To workaround this without purchasing a larger display, one can open the Control panel's flyout menu, untick some options, like Align, and check if the section needed returns. If yes — then please vote here for a feature that would allow us to change the order of blocks in Control: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40231882-allow-us-to-chose-order-of-controls-in-control-pan

Snap to point not working and please allow files to reopen after crash/restart/reopen
Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, Illustrator 24.2
Selection points no longer seem to appear on hover and snap to point isn't working even if I quit the app and restart.
This is getting kind of ridiculous - trying to work is frustrating if you need to be precise with something.
Also... please please Adobe - why is it almost every other company has managed to give us the option to reopen after quit with the same files open but you still haven't?? Today Creative Cloud told me I had 7 updates available and I thought, ok great, maybe just maybe…

Minus Front Pathfinder
I'm trying to block out this outlined text from this green rectangle, however, it is producing a very weird and seemingly glitchy result. Here are my steps:
1) Select both shapes (The white shape appears to have a thicker selection outline? Not sure why that is..)
2) Choose Pathfinder > Minus Front.
3) The final result view cuts off the top of the 'M' and 'R', but the anchor points show a normal effect.
Any thoughts?

24.2 Unable to use special characters: English OS, German regional settings and keyboard
On a fresh English language Illustrator installation (English OS, German regional settings and German qwertz keyboard on Win10) I am unable to use any character that needs ALT GR as a Modifier. I therefore can not access €, @ | and a lot of pretty important letters. If that helps, Photoshop doesn't show this problem, but Indesign has similar issues. Other, non CC apps with English UI language work fine.

Have to sign in every time I launch Illustrator
Every time I launch program, on the same computer, same day, even if only a short time has passed, I have to sign in with Adobe Cloud credentials. I've signed out of the Creative Cloud Desktop app and signed in. Still happens after first launch. Painful.

Converting Text to path extremely slow
Converting Text to Path ist extremely slow. I have a Job, where 1000 textboxes (each a 5 digit number) has to be converted to paths. On my iMac (3,7 GHz 6-Core i5) this task takes 16 minutes. I tried the same with 16 years old Freehand MX on a 11 years old MacPro 2 x 2,8 GHz Quad Core and it took 13 SECONDS! As there was never an Intel-Version of Freehand it runs under Rosetta what lets the Result in Illustrator look even poorer... And as I have to repeat this task 100 times I would end up in…

Select same fill color does not take into account tints
When I select "same fill color" or "same appearance" it selects all items using that particular pantone regardless of whether I am using that pantone at 100% or a tint (ex 40%, 50%, 60%).
1 voteAs per the comment, Illustrator can be made into respecting tints with the 'Select Same Tint %' in Preferences > General

Objects deselect on copy or paste (Illustrator 2019)
This is a bug, not an idea.
Sometimes when copying an object or pasting, the copied or pasted object does not remain selected.
This is far less than ideal, especially when using Paste in Front.
Happens in Illustrator 2019 / OSX Catalina

Scaling freeform gradient objects with real-time drawing/editing on.
When I have real-time drawing turned on, I can't select multiple objects that contain freeform gradients and scale them without losing the appearance of the objects. A single object works, more than one at a time will not. If I turn off real-time in preferences, this resolves the issue.
Mac os 10.14, Illustrator c 24.2
Please see videos for demo:

Artboard Missing
When I open the saved file, I find my artboards missing. The weird part is it saves my work. So every time I open the file I have to create new artboards for the layout I had done.
Attached Adobe Files consists of 2 layouts:
Page 1: Original Layout
Page 2: When I re-open the file. I find all the artboards missing except for a default artboard.Very frustrating to recreate the artboards every time.
Thanks

Pasting goes to the back of the layer - and not on top!!!!!
When copying an object and then pasting the new object goes to the back of the stack of objects and not to the front! Please fix and make it go to the top.

Smart Guides snapping to the cursor is just making me work much slower
I have been having problems with smart guides after the recent update. It has been snapping my cursor to objects, which I have never wanted and never will want to do that ever. I just want to simply align objects together, and now I have to use the features in the align window to time-consumingly do the jobs. Please remove the snap-to-cursor feature for the sake of my deadlines.
