Stroke displaying incorrectly and offset path broken
In the first screenshot i show where i have duplicated an outlined letter R and rotated and it is rendering the stroke differently on both.
I have also had issues with using offset instead where the stroke is broken on some letters even though the path is closed, see other screenshot (Q).1 vote -
Modifier tool is lost when scaling with "~" key held down
Fills can be modified without changing geometry if the "~" key is pressed during the operation.
Previous versions (at up to AI CC 2015) allowed the scaling process to be repeated indefinitely until another tool was chosen. In AI CC 2019 the "Scale" tool switches to the Pen tool every time the Mouse is released. This is a huge pain and should be fixed!! Keep the modifier tool active until another tool is selected please.

Move tool direction is inverted
Out of nowhere the Move dialog box started acting the opposite way to what it is supposed to do.
According to Adobe Help- To move the object up or down, enter either a negative value (moves up) or positive value (moves down) in the Vertical text box.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/moving-aligning-distributing-objects.html#move_objects
But now a positive value in Y moves the object up in my installation as can be seen in the attachment. This is Illustrator 23.1.1 and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
I asked a friend running 23.0.3 and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 and it works as expected on his system.

Move window doesnt update with most current move value
When I drag an object with the selection tool that move used to be reflected when I opened the move dialogue. However now that dialogue gets stuck on a previous move unless I use the direct selection tool to move the object.
I am using the most current version of Illustrator CC on a 2013 Macbook running Catalina.

Rotate tool is acting strange
When using the rotate tool, the angle is in the dialog box (whatever I last used) is automatically applied to my object. If I just try to change the angle it applies that rotation to the new position (based on what I used last), rather than applying the new rotation from the original starting point. I can't even begin to explain what turning preview on and off does, so I included a short screen grab for you. Using Illy version 23.1.1, with MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I also am using the entire sweet of Astute Graphics plugins.

Track type doesnt work after last update
Hi, our graphic studio has a client-a big financial institution, and his entire visual style is created in a special calligraphic track. After we installed the latest update there is a change within this track. When we click on the illustration/or change its color, the entire track changes and the original style is gone. The attributes of the original track remains the same but there is a change within the style, is looks totally different. It also doesnt work when we choose the track and draw new illustration - it looks different. We also tried to create new document ,…

Transform tools will not take negative numbers
This is still a major bug: the transform tools will not take a negative number. I have attached screenshots of entering the negative number and it being converted to a positive number. I really hope this gets fixed soon (but since it has been a bug for years I doubt it will be.)

Very glitchy Free Transform tool
This sure can't be right - I can't always get this to occur, but when it does happen, it's super annoying. When scaling using the Free Transform tool, there's this choppiness that doesn't allow me to control the scaling. Right now, my best work around is to enter dimension values in the Control Palette rather than use this tool at all. In the video the choppiness during the text object's decrease in size is where I'm undoing the scaling. I don't know if that helps, but maybe it will help to know that the choppy scaling is done in steps…

Object's "Appearance" is stuck
Have been working with the functionality of the Appearance window with great success for quite a while. Today, for no apparent reason, almost every new object I create (from any drawing tool) inherits one of the Appearance attributes that I had previous assigned to a different object. Let's say that I created a line and then applied an Appearance in which I added an additional stroke. Great. Normally, I if I start a brand new object with any of the drawing tools, the new object would have the default stroke and fill features. Not any more. Now, every object I…

transform rotate not working as it should
Draw a vertical line.
Choose Object > Rotate
Change the degrees and click Copy.
The original has now rotated the chosen amount and made a copy at the same time.
The original vertical line should still be there, and a new one (the copy) should be at an angle. Not both rotated.

Simplify preview problem
When I choose Path > Simplify… and have the preview button checked, the simplification happens as many times as I adjust the percentage. ie it will simply to 99% and the 97% of 99%.
Whether I click OK or Cancel, all of the actions have been performed and I have to press undo until it is back to normal.
This problem arrived at the same time as the scale/rotate/reflect etc preview issue (which have now been fixed thank god).1 voteHi,
