Illustrator : 26.0.2Windows版Illustratorで図形を描画する際に、マウスカーソルの移動に沿って図形が大量に生成されてしまいます。
PC起動直後にIllustratorのみ起動している状態では発生しないことは確認できていますが、上記のバグが発生するタイミングはまちまちであり、どういった条件で発生するかの特定は難しいです。

Illustrator CC 23.0.2 Align Distribute not working correctly MacOS Mojave 10.14.3
Align Distribute. If I do not have the window open and I select the objects & the key object then open the Align window, the distribute input field does not allow for input. I have to deselect the key object then reselect the key object then it will allow me to enter the input field. Also occasionally if I enter a distribute measurement of 1" or an integer it does not read it as 1", instead it reads it as 0.1 but shows up as 1 until I do a save as not a save. If I do a save…

Lock/unlock width and height while scaling
If I have a rectangle for example and I unlock the width and height so that I can change the values separately, If I change the width or height (size) the object transforms proportionally.
Example:
Object 500 H x 500 W px (locked):
If I change H -50px I get 450 H x 450 W px.Problem
Object 500 H x 500 W px (Unlocked):
If I change H -50px I expected to get 450 H x 500 W px.
But what I get is 450 H x 450 W px.4 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Artboard Tool button crashes Illustrator
I'm trying to put this in the "Illustrator Bugs" category, but the button I have to click says "Post idea". Apologies if this is in the wrong area.
Every time I click the artboard button Illustrator crashes.
I'm using a 2017 iMac
Illustrator version 22.0.1I've been having the same problem since the last time I updated Illustrator (several months). Doing research in the trouble shooting forum leads me to believe this has been a problem since October 2017.
No one had posted a solution in the forum.
I spent a while on Adobe's website searching for the appropriate phone…

Tools aren't working from toolbox. All of them are now erasers or disabled.
Version: Adobe Illustrator 22.0.1
Opened a new project. I only just manage to open my rulers and set up some guides before the line tool refuses to work. Has the icon denoting that it will not work on that layer next to the cursor. Try a different tool and it's the same thing. Try opening a new layer, and it's still the same. So I open a project I was working on yesterday. I'm on the direct selection tool here, but instead of the pointer, I have a circle for a cursor. Curious, I drag it across work. It's in…

Trackpad selection issue with High Sierra
When selecting objects or drawing with any of the tools, Illustrator is not recognizing the trackpad release, so objects remain selected and the only way to deselect them is to Command-tab out of the application. I was able to duplicate this problem on my laptop as well. Appears to be related to the trackpad because the same issue doesn't appear to happen when I use a standard mouse.

Can't put objects exactly in the middle of another object
At first I thouht it was an alignment problem, then i looked up to help videos but none of them solves my problem. I want to put a figure for example a square, then I want to put another square to have the exact triangle of that square but it won't let me make another figure exactly in the middle, it always goes left or right but not center. Help please!!

Troubleshooting with anchor points
While trying to add a new anchor point to an intersection it adds it in another place, some pixels to the left. Basically, it happens whenever I try to use the pen tool. At the same time looks like whenever I move an object it doesn't go exactly where I want it to. Basically, no overlapping or adding anchor point to an existing vector.

Selecting pen lines (vectors) & anchor points is really hard after updating to newest version of CC 2019.
I recently updated my OS to Sierra & with that my CC updated to 2019 23.0.2. Ever since, it takes several tries to select a line or an anchor point using the direct select or group select tool & to remove points using the Add/delete anchor tools. The scissors tool also can't seem to find the line to create a point either. It is extremely frustrating & slows down drawing a lot! It seems like the lines/points that we are looking at, are not in the same place code-wise maybe? Something is not lining up. PLEASE fix quickly!

Smart Guides - Center point not usable
When Smart Guides are enabled, the Center point of an object is shown, when hovered over the edges of the object, but it dissappears (and doesn't snap) when trying to hover over the Center point itself.

pen tool bug, "option" key does not activate usable "convert anchor point tool".
ai 22.1 on sierra mac. 10.12.4
I can see the convert anchor point tool when using the pen tool by pressing option , however when I try to click an anchor point it keeps defaulting back to the pen tool, this is annoying.

eraser or bloop tool dimensions are not adjustable with double click anymore
I can't change the dimensions of drawing tools such as the eraser or bloop tool with double click anymore and there seems to be no shortcut or any other option to get here, even typing eraser in the help section doesn't show anything.

Transform grayed out
Very frequently (might be even 50 percent of the time) when I select an object the "Transform" and "Arrange" options in the "Object" menu (as well as the associated keystrokes) are grayed out as unavailable. When I deselect the menu and then select the menu again the "Transform" and "Arrange" options have magically become available. Selecting the menu a second time always "fixes" this.
