Freezing issue
Since the 23.0 version Illustrator keeps freezing regularly, up to 3 times in a day's usage. There is no actual pattern that i can point to, just that it keeps doing it at certain time intervals and with certain signs sometimes (like the menus not showing), which are also irregular and i have to use Task Manager to close it and open it again.

Extra large font in top menus - can't fix
I can't modify the size of the font in Illustrator's top bar menus. When I click on a top menu item (File/Edit/Object/Type, etc) the font displayed in them is extra large, and I can't change it in Settings. Even when I select "Reset Essentials Classic", nothing happens. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Linked image used in opacity mask not compressing
I believe this is a new issue with a recent update. I've never had this issue before.
The attached pdf file should be renamed to an ai file. For some reason I am not allowed to attach an ai file. That doesn't make sense to me as this is a bug report platform for ai.
If I create a document that has a linked image used in an opacity mask, illustrator is not compressing the image when I save it. I'm seeing a file end up being, for example, around 8MB when it should be around 600KB. I am downsampling…

Artboard Not Visible when in a Tab
Mac Pro 2015 with OSX Mojave
When opening a PDF the file naturally attaches itself to a new tab on the illustrator workspace but the entire artboard is missing. Only when you pull the tab free to make an individual window are you then able to see the illustration contents.

Gradient locks to a color stop in the color tab
Gradient locks to a color stop in the color tab. If I want to use a solid fill, on the color tab it only allows me to change the color stop. I cannot do anything to escape out of the gradient stop. I have to remove the gradient first then choose a color. Older versions allowed me to just click on the color fill box and I can toggle between gradient stop and object fill.

Japanese version: Sidebar properties get clipped
The values get clipped out and it's difficult to insert values....
I think this is possibly because of poor localisation for Japanese UI as the Japanese text is larger and thus causes the clipping....
This has happened on many occasions but as a sample I included an image of the settings of corner roundness of an object.
I'm not sure if this happens on any other language UI's as I've only been using the Japanese version.

Dragging new objects
When dragging in a new shape, it does so at an angle
1 voteThis most probably happens because the Constrain Angle value in Preferences > General is set to be something else than 0°.

linear gradients switching to radial gradients unexpectedly
Illustrator CC 2019 (both Mac and Win platforms) I teach at the college level. Numerous students have reported that they will create a linear gradient on a shape. When they continue editing other areas and return to that shape, the gradient has changed to radial. The linear gradient shape was not selected and they were not editing a gradient swatch. I cannot replicate this error. Any thoughts?

The stroke has a brush applied to it, which can also define cap.
Check it in the Appearance or Brushes panels. You can remove it from both of these panels, or Control, or Properties.

CC library window blanks out after trying to edit files.
Adobe Illustrator CC 23.0.2, WIndows 10 Enterprise version 17032.
Tried right clicking onto a file in a CC library file to 'edit', CC library window closes immediately. Tried to open again from the Windows tab, CC library window is void of any files and folders. It appears blank.
This only happens if I tried to 'edit'. If I place any files directly from CC library it's fine.1 votePlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Free transform not scaling correctly
When scaling a stroke with Free Transform it jumps to a ~30º angle (pics attached). this happens without holding Shift etc. All I want to do is extend the stroke.
Smart Guides is turned on, I've tried turning off/on Bounding Box (no luck) and turned off "Enable Content Aware Defaults" in prefs.
I'm on MacOS HIgh Sierra with CC 2019. I've never experienced this before

Entered hue color value changes
Setting a hue to 90 degrees while in sRGB will convert the hue to 88 degrees after you click OK. This same behavior does not occur in Photoshop.
