Stroke size goes nuts under 1pt sizes
When drawing a regular line with pen tool and changing the size of the stroke to less than 1pt, it automatically switches to sizes higher than 1pt.
For example, if I want my stroke to be 0.5 pt, and if I select it in a dropdown menu, it will automatically turn into 5pt stroke and that will also be applied on the line. Same thing when entering the value manually with the keyboard - entering 0.5 will automatically convert into 5 and change the stroke to be thicker instead of making it thinner. This only started happening in the newest update of Illustrator - Fall 2017
We have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 22.1.
Please refer to our knowledge base FAQ – https://illustrator.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1844590 if you face difficulty in update.

This is a different problem:
Iam facing a dimension issue for example if I draw a rectangle of 75 x 50mm Iam seeing a tolerance of .353mm in both width and height
It is better to ask this in the Illustrator forum:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator/content
(where they will tell you to turn off Use Preview Bounds in the Preferences > General). -

Hi I am using Illustrator CC 22.1. Now, whenever I have a stroke around an object and try to reduce the stroke size to 1 point or below, the opacity of the color lightens, but it still shows 100% opacity on all the settings. For example, I have a 2-point black line around a text box. When I change the point size to .5, .75 or even 1 point the thickness of the line does not change, instead the color goes to grey. What's up with that?

I get the same thing. If I select 0.25pt the result looks like 25pt
0.5 looks like 5
0.75 looks like 75If I manually type in 0.5 the result looks like 5.
If I manually type in 0,5 the result displays correctly.Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Andrei

bug it is still there in AI 22.0.1
PROPERTIES PANEL > STROKE SELECTED > , or . (in my case - dots are not recognised as decimal separator in width)
"DROPDOWN LIST OF STROKE WIDTH VALUES IS NOT CORRECT / NOT USING LOCAL DECIMAL SEPARATOR "
It is correct in STROKE panel and in TOP bar "properties"

Same here. Problem is that in the program code for the sizes is registered as 0.25; 0.5; 0.75 when the actual value should be 0,25; 0,5; 0,75. So comma, not dot. Until the next update we have to do it manually it seems.

I have the same problem. When i change a stroke to size below 1mm from the drop down (like 0.25 mm) it creates a path of 25 mm. Video from the commentor above shows it correctly!

0,25, 0,5 and 0,75 pt stroke can't apply for essential pannels.
But appearance is apply.

For me the OS language is English with the netherlands as region. Adobe language is English (north america).

Same here. Found out that when you use "," instead of "." it works. The predefined sizes in the pulldown menu still use "."
