Windows Panels resize at applications restart
Not sure if this is a Windows issue or a new AI 2018 issue. The problem I am having with all 2018 Adobe products is that when I enter back into AI after restart my Window Panel properties are all collapsed even though my saved work-space is saved with all of them always expanded. This causes me to go through every window panel and expand it. Not a huge deal but super annyoing and a time waste. This is happening consistently. I am running Win10- pro with the latest AI CC update.
Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here. It would also be helpful if you can share your workspace on sharewithai@adobe.com

It happens when the normal size of the window is smaller than needed to accommodate the one-column tool bar.
Why the heck it does not remember the user-chosen state and does not get narrowed back when the window gets maximized — that is the question.
The same happens with all the panels in Ai — they don’t remember their sizes and prefer to stay folded, once the window gets resized. -

Please, for Odin's sake, make the toolbar 1 column. People are complaining about this since...well... Odin's time :)). No matter what I do (resizing it, saving new workspace etc.), each time I start Illustrator the toolbar is 2 columns wide.
