Minor bug. To reproduce:

Changing values in Move dialog immediately applies them
There appears to be another bug crept into the latest version of Illustrator when selecting an object and using the Object > Transform > Move dialogue.
When you change values it commits those values rather than previews them, even if you cancel the operation. Ie. if you type 100mm into the x-coordinate box then change it to 150mm it will move your object 100mm then a further 150mm (250mm in total) rather than honouring the last value and only moving it 150mm.
Illustrator is becoming all but unusable of late.

Freeform gradient fill disappears after outline stroke
- Windows 10 Pro version 1809 OS build 17763.475 running Illustrator 23.0.3
- Make a shape. Fill it with a freeform gradient. Add a stroke. Use Object > Path > Outline Stroke.
- The stroke should be converted to a path and the fill should be untouched.
- When the stroke was converted to a path, the freeform gradient fill disappeared.
- The attached file is an animated gif I created to help a user on the forum who encountered the bug. https://forums.adobe.com/message/11077177#11077177

Brush Cursor - Art Pen Rotation
I'll have someone describe the issue from 2010. 9 years later this issue still persists. I am having the exact same issue but instead of it not working in Photoshop (which is works perfectly fine in) I am having this issue in Illustrator.
"Hi !
Today I downloaded the trial of PS CS5.
I think its a really great step for digital painting and I love
the new bristle and mixer brushes-But one thing really disappointed me. I´m using a Wacom Art Pen to control
the angle of the brushes by the rotation of the pen.

Have to zoom a lot to reveal middle handles with small objects
MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54) and Illustrator CC2019 23.0.1
MBP 2018, i9, 32 Gb, Radeon Pro Vega 20, 4080 MtIt seems like Illustrator CC2019 has an issue with handles vanishing (at least on my system)
If you have a long and narrow (either horizontally or vertically), or otherwise small object, you have to zoom very very close to reveal the middle handle. Makes changing lengths of said objects pretty hard when matching with other objects with, for example, snapping etc.3 votes -

Rotation tool
Rotation tool is not developed. It should have been a default value. I can't find the zero angle.

Even I also tried in Adobe Illustrator CS6, the surface…3 votes -
SVGs not aligning properly unless title layer is deleted.
When I import an image in SVG format the alignment tools do not work properly to align the image with other elements on the artboard. I've found a work around for this, deleting the "title" layer of the SVG in the layers panel seems to allow it to work properly. There is no graphic information in the title layer as far as I'm aware so why does it affect how the alignment tools work? Also with the title layer still present clicking align moves it every time it's clicked rather than just once, how it usually behaves. I've attached a…

X- Y-coordinates are not aligning
When attempting to align two existing points by typing in an exact measurement for x- y-coordinates, they do not align on screen. When the measurements typed in are the exact same, they are NOT aligning on the screen. This is making it quite difficult to refine shapes.

Join tool still drops selection.
It was reported already and reported as fixed, but in 2018 CC the bug is back, Join tool drops selection every time after it was used not allowing consequent connections without reselecting the whole curve every time.
