Crash on export for screens with Repeat Grid
I can make this consistently crash when exporting Artboards 2, 4, or 5. If I turn off the Grids layer it exports correctly. I found that converting a Repeat Grid a making it a normal Group of objects fixes the issue but I have no idea how I did that in the first place.
Expanding the repeats seems to solve the crash.
For example Artboards 1 and 3 grids were created by a repeat but somehow it got converted back to a group of objects.

Why are Tools on Toolbar are present, but will not activate when selected?
The selection tool is the only active tool. When any other drawing tool has been selected it will not activate, pen tool, rectangle tool etc. I have Reset Essentials and tried multiple options suggested on forums and videos. Closed and reopened program reset to other "Workspaces" and nothing has reactivated the tools. Everything worked yesterday. The tools are not hidden. They simply will not activate when selected.

Toggle tool with CMD will not change back to current tool in 25.2
OS X 10.14 Illustrator 25.2
Using e.g. the pencil tool and switching temporarily to move tool will with pressed CMD key, often results in not changing back to current pencil tool after release of the CMD key.
Works fine with 25.1 but does not work properly with 25.2.
Especially while making hand drawings, where one changes often between pencil - move - eyedropper - this is quite annoying. Could you please fix this?

Opacity Scroll
I used to be able to hover over the opacity % and just scroll with my mouse to actively change the opacity. Since the latest 2021 update, it will change the values shown in the bar, but will not apply them to the object.

Surface Pen Stylus Pressure paintbrush doesn't work
The stylus pressure for the paintbrush tool in the touch workspace on a Microsoft Surface seems to work occasionally but not always. The Surface Pen is connected (Bluetooth), I can get stylus pressure to work sometimes and not others. Sometimes in the same session! Or if I flip to the regular desktop workspace it'll work occasionally. I cannot figure out what the key ingredient is. It seems very random. I can also get it to recognize pressure if I enable "constrain drawing 45deg" but not if I disable it. How does that make sense? Must be a bug. Please address…

art brush direction
I created a new art brush. When applied to a stroke it rotates 90 degrees. The same bug was reported by another user in July 2020. How many months will it take to fix this?

Knife leaving behind graphical artifacts on low opacity
I just updated Illustrator on my Mac OS and I am really unhappy. One of my most used tools, the knife, leaves behind little, uneven and ugly shapes on the edges of the cut objects. This only happens on objects that have a lowered opacity. That ruins my work as I like to cell shade with low opacity blacks. Please fix that.

Right Menu Bar Not appearing
Hello Adobe Crew! This is Eva.
I am here to report that the right menu bar is not appearing. I don't know what the bar is actually called so please excuse any misnaming. I wasn't drawing in fullscreen, and the fact that the right menu bar was in the way kinda annoyed me. So I clicked the 'X' button to put it away. I was done drawing, so I put my laptop away. Next day I want to draw, I open Illustrator, open a new canvas, and the right menu bar doesn't appear. I have tried to restart Illustrator many…

Importing Brushes is not working.
Trying to import a variety of brushes from all different sources that are CS4 and above and correct AI files.
When I look at preview links it provides the image below. And when I open the files are blank this is consistent with every single brush AI file I"ve tried to open. However, on the Open menu of illustrator they are available to preview. Is there a problem with opening AI brushes in the 2021 update? Ideally I need these brushes to finish work for a client, and need to build on Illustrator rather than Photoshop

Blob brush, merge only with selection not working
Blob brush, merge only with selection not working. After being off it it still merges. Drawing with blob brush keeps merging with previous brush stroke even when that option is off.

Resizing a constrained proportion shape not accurate to input
In 'Transform', if I set it to constrain proportions, then change the size of a square to '50mm x 50mm', the dimensions automatically change to something like '49.4345mm x 49.156mm'.
It also does this with any shape I created. So annoying! I think it worked back in 2019's versions, but with any version since doesn't.
