Illustrator 25.4.1 "handcuffs" scaling and rotation effects with Wacom
When using a Wacom Intuous Pro (PTH-660) with Illustrator: using the scale or rotate tool on a shape, I'm unable to commit the change to the object after I lift the pen off the tablet. Even pressing "v" or "esc" several times, or even switching programs and switching back to Illustrator, when the pen comes in range of the table surface again, it is still changing the scale or rotation of the object.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Precision 7530.

The Mesh Tool and Curvature is lagging after I updated the Adobe Illustrator to the latest version.
The handles for the mesh are difficult to adjust and move. The same thing also happened with the curvature tool when I updated my AI to the 2021 latest version.

Preview Pen tool line colour change
In previous versions of illustrator the layer colour defined the preview colour line when using the pen tool. In recent versions the preview is automatically. Set to a dark blue colour and i can't work out how to change this.
This tiny little change is causing me much grief, because in my artwork i draw on black shapes all the time and because the colour is dark blue, i can hardly make out what I'm drawing. I used to pick fluro pink, so I can easily see this line.
PLEASE HELP
I'm using surface book 2, windows 10, latest version…

Visible brush stroke using touchscreen desktop (MS Surface Studio)
Whilst drawing directly by hand onto the screen of my Microsoft Surface Studio 2, occasionally Illustrator decides it isn't going to make the path I'm drawing visible. Use the mouse and the brush stroke is visible.
I'm unsure if this issue is exclusive to this type of desktop (rare, I know), or if tablet / Wacom pad users experience this too? Either way, not knowing where you've drawn doesn't make life easy!

Modifying stroke width of paths with mixed aspects totally erases their Appearance
Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4
When I try to modify the stroke width of multiple paths that have mixed aspects, it totally erases their Appearance instead.
In the attached video, I have 3 paths that are similar except for their stroke colour. When I try to change their width from 0,5mm to 1mm, their Appearance become "empty. :-(

No tools available
Mac OSX 11.4 (20F71). Illustrator 25.3.1
Very often when working in a document (either a new document or an existing document) the tool I am using will change to a crossed-through pencil and beep whenever I attempt to do anything. I have to restart the app, and this often does not restore the tools to a functioning state. This is incredibly annoying and renders Illustrator virtually useless.1 vote -

Eyedropper won't pick up arrowheads in 25.3.1
Using Illustrator 25.3.1 with Mac OS 11.4, the eyedropper won't pick up the arrowhead style from a stroke to replicate onto a new stroke. This has always worked before.

Paintbrush tool stops working while drawing - 100% GPU usage
Using the paintbrush tool, when drawing a continous shape/line, it stops drawing after a little while, even if I keep the pen pressed, or mouse button (same result).
If I use the GPU rendering/viewing mode, the GPU usage keep climbing if I keep drawing, until it reaches 100% GPU usage and stops working. And that is on a RTX 3090. On CPU view mode, it stops way sooner/faster, after 3 seconds almost. As soon as I let go and stop drawing, it completes the shape, but only up until the point that it stopped drawing.
Video attached with the problem.

brush reverting every time
brush keeps dropping selection and reverting to what ever it feels like using. Spent weeks trying to find solution online...tried turning on off "keep art basic appearance". Nothing works. You shouldn't be able to charge absurd subscription for software you can't produce work with. It feels like adobe keep bringing out new updates to justify cloud software but I have reached the end of my tether with adobe. The ipad version doesn't sync....i lose work, problems with desktop version. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!! please please please just go back to one time license software were things work as they should.

Corner features display in the selection tool, not in direct select
Occasionally, the corner options features do not display in the direct select tool, meaning I cannot round corners (fillet/ chamfer). They do display in the selection tool, but they obviously don't work there (it invokes object rotation).
This occurs on Windows version 25.3.1 vote -
Impossible to select a point under another point or line in outline mode
Selected objects have their points accessible even if they are below other objects but only in prewiew mode.
In outline mode clicking on a point under another point or line over it selects the object above.
This bug makes working in outline mode very unpractical and cumbersome, mainly in projects with many aligned and superimposed elements.1 vote -
Illustrator 25.3 Crop
Export File creates uncontrolled artboards and more then one - usually only one is selectable the other is not. Did this with jpg, pngs. Save as pdf works fine but export versions do not.
One artboard frame is correct but the second unselectable version is smaller but taller and localized around one object in the image.
They both carry over with the file to other programs.
Files opened in photoshop display properly but png has extra clear space.1 vote -

Layers gone
When I opened the Illustrator file in latest version, all my layers were gone and a bunch of clipping paths created. Also the selection tool has a weird symbol like a cross-hatch and no longer selects objects.

Direct Select tool selecting unnecessary groups
Steps to repeat making unecessary groups (just one of many ways) in order to test how they break the direct select tool, and cause unpredictable appearances:
1) make a rectangle.
2) apply a "3D Extrude & Bevel" effect
3) Expand appearanceNow that you've flattened your 3D object, you'll have an extra 4 unnecessary groups come along for the ride. But you won't know this unless you use Vector Firstaid, or use the appearance panel to manually inspect the situation (argh!).
4) Now use the direct select tool to click in the centre of one paths of the shape (direct…
