Offset Path Bug
OS: Windows 10
Illustrator CC 2018 Build 22.1 (64-bit)
When working with Outlined Letters 9 times out of 10 it works.
However 1:10 when I do Object > Path > Offset Path - one of the Anchor Points does not move. When this happens it always seems to occur within the plug of the letter and it appears to be an Anchor point that would have been straight down from its original position.In the Attached Image I show the original Path and Offset Path as outlines and the Anchor Points are illustrated by Cyan Circles.
Thank you!

Paint Brush and Blob Brush Sizing Issues
There is annoying sizing issues with Paint Brush and Blob Brush.
1- Whenever i resize the paint brush tool, and then use the blob brush tool, ( which takes the same size as the paint brush ), then switch back to paint brush, the size of the paint brush reset to the default, although New art has basic appearance option is not active in the appearance panel.

brush pressure issue
so, i recently just bought this new tablet (GAOMON M106K), so i could make some drawings but when i started to use it with the pressure it randomly puts off these dot like ends for the lines. This is really getting me frustrated because i cant find anyone who has this problem, it inst the pen or tablet either because i have tried it on different software and its perfect. If anyone could get back to me that would be great

Blob brush describes a path, not a form

Eraser not making consecutive strokes
For a while now th eraser is not working properly and it's bugging the **** out of me, it's one of the main tools I use when drawing. Both with a pen and a mouse, both when zoomed in and out - it works for one or two strokes, then after that just won't erase anything until either I deselect/select the object or hit undo. Then it will work for one or two paths again and then I have to repeat the same step. The erasing box - alt and drag while the eraser tool is selected, works always, but…

Adobe Illustrator CC 22.1 ME cannot change stroke weight to 0.25 - 0.5 - 0.75 chosing from relevan panel
If I chose from stroke panel 0.25 or 0.5 or 0.75 stroke weight, then I obtain 25 or 5 or 75 stroke weight line!!
If I manually type on relevant fileld box 0,25 or 0,5 or 0,75 then I got correctly weight line. The problem may be that Illustrator ME doesn't recognize full stop "." but comma "," only. How can i fix this issue? Thank you1 voteRequest to Contact Support ·AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded

Isolation mode only works for a sub-group when double-clicked, option greyed out on right-click dropdown
I have the latest version of CC. I have a simple group containing a filled path and a more complex sub-group of objects. I can right-click the whole group and isolate it from the rest of the document by selecting "Isolate Selected Group" from the right-click dropdown, but when I try to further isolate the more complex group inside, the option on the right-click dropdown is greyed out.
Typically I prefer to have the "Double Click to Isolate" deselected from the General Preferences because I often mistakenly enter Isolation Mode when I don't want to be because I've accidentally double-clicked…

Tools all become 'locked' requiring reboot (of Illustrator, not OS)
Windows 10, March 2018 Illustrator (latest).
This has happened maybe five or six times now, I think only since the latest update, apparently random occurrence (or I can't spot a common theme). Working on an unlocked layer, all drawing tools get a 'not available' symbol next to them. Can select objects in the layers panel but nowhere else. The only fix is to restart Illustrator - just closing and reopening the document (or indeed another document) does not unlock the tools.

When corner radius is set to 0px, it reverses to 3px
I have a rectangle, with 3px rounded corners. But when I try to set it to 0px for one specific corner, it is reverted to 3px (not in the input field, only on the look of the rectangle).

Inaccurate paths
Good day
Before the big update back in 2017, Illustrator's paths were very accurate in terms of using pathfinder tools and intense zooming in. I'm not sure what the new updates were, but it's frustrating.
Attached are screenshots of what I'm talking about. I punched 2 objects (namely black colour and green colour), using the exact same ellipse that I copied and pasted in front. I used to do this all the time, but with better results. Now it's as if it purposely goes out of the accuracy it once had. I'm zoomed in all the way with these screenshots.

Drag, alt, and resizing are all working incorrectly & create new non-existent objects
Items I select and resize seem to adjust from arbitrary points that appear, unrelated to the shape of the geometry. Attached, is a screenshot where I changed the scale of the blue diamond. The other green selected box doesn't actually exist, but is now included in the geometry of the original. If you group an object which has one of these phantoms, it will stay in the group indefinitely. Additionally, the alt-drag feature creates many duplicates. If you're scaling using the alt-command, it will work for a second and then start duplicating.

Illustrator CC (multiple versions) stroke alignment error when rectangle is set to a certain size
I have tried this across multiple computers that have Illustrator CC at different updates (mine is 21.1.0) & get the same result every time.
If you create a rectangle that is at least 48" w x 120" h, set the stroke to 0.25pt, no fill, align the stroke to the inside and the review the bottom left corner an error appears. The bottom part of the path tapers from the correct thickness to no thickness from right to left. It seems to go away if you make the stroke slightly thicker or if you make the rectangle smaller. Not sure…

Change color in scaled dynamic symbols looses strokes scale
When you place a symbol and scale it, of course, its strokes are scaled.
But if the symbol was dynamic, and you try to change the color, then all the other parts MIGHT get their own stroke "unscaled".
Look at the video below where all my shapes strokes reverted back to 24px instead of 50% scale (12px) If I had a more complex set of items, I can't imagine how to use dyn symbols at all, that's sad.
The linked image also shows that.
