No Rectangle Shape in toolbar
hi there, today the CC installed advised me to install a new version of Illustrator. Install went smoothly, but I noticed when I opened Illustrator that the shape tool that lets me draw a rectangle is missing. The rectangle with radial corners is there; so I can make one and set the corner rounding to 0; but it isn't as fast and convenient as just drawing a rectangle with sharp corners directly. Is this a new feature? Or is this a bug? (I'm hoping it is a bug)
thanks!

Stroke not updated when using arrow keys
An object's stroke is not updated when using the arrow keys to increase or decrease stroke size. Then selecting another object without pressing enter or removing focus from the input box applies the stroke to the new selection.
Steps:
1. Create 2 shapes
2. Select first shape
3. Adjust stroke with arrow keys in the properties panel - shape on artboard doesn't update
4. Select second shape - stroke that was supposed to be applied to first shape is applied to second shapeUsing Illustrator 23.0 (Windows)

Small enhancement for the new Global Edit Tool
Hi there!
I’m playing with this new feature on Illustrator 23, “Global Edit” and I find it absolutely fantastic.
But, there is a small drawback when you are editing an object: once your are in “Global Edit Mode”, when you change to White Arrow (Direct Selection Tool) to modify some individual component of your original object, lot of times you need to firstly UNSELECT ALL just to be able to select some individual point/s to edit (in order to see that edition being cloned along all similar objects interactively).
And here comes the problem: once you unselect all with the…

Select objects behind with ctrl/cmd click only works on filled objects
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/selecting-objects.html#select_behind_objects
The option to select objects behind by holding ctrl/cmd and clicking sequentially works when clicking an object's fill, but not its path. As such, it doesn't work if 'Object Selection by Path Only' is enabled in preferences.
I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work when clicking on a path, so I'm reporting as a bug.

Pattern brush
Pattern Brush start and end components should not appear when used on closed paths as in Illustrator CS6.
if you make a pattern brush with a red dot at the end, you can use it to find open paths in CS6 but not in CC2018. necessary for working with plotter/cutters.

Transform and Transform again
Older versions of Transform again would let you transform any object the same as the previous object. This function no longer works. If I draw a box and transform it, I want to be able to transform a text object the same without using percentages. Because I am not always transforming a percentage. I may be transforming different objects to be the same height, but the tool does not allow this anymore. Please bring back the original functionality of this tool.

Eraser or Blob Brush tools’ sizes are not adjustable with double-click anymore
I can't change the dimensions of drawing tools such as the Eraser or Blob Brush 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.

Edges stay visible when you switch from Selection to Brush tool
When you hover an object with the Selection tool and then switch to the Brush tool with the shortcut it will keep the edges (hover outlines) over it even if you start drawing somewhere else with the brush.

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.

Selection marquee is difficult to see when transparency grid is enabled
With the transparency grid enabled, when selecting objects with the selection tool by dragging the cursor, the marquee line for the selection is difficult to see. In the attached image, the selection marquee line can be barely seen (thin dashed line) on top of the black paths but not on top of the grid.

Pen Tool preview disappears
After using Illustrator for a period of time - say, 15-20 minutes - the pen tool preview ("Rubber Band") stops appearing on screen, even though it is still activated in the preferences. Restarting Illustrator restores it, until it disappears again. And over and over again. This happens on multiple PCs, multiple configurations, multiple versions of Illustrator.

Eydropper changes font when applying color from an image...
When using the eyedropper to grab color from an image, and then place that color onto text (by holding down the ALT key). AI changes the font.
