Round corners worked better before
The round corner options when selecting a shape worked a lot better before the latest update (24.1.1). Before when you had hard edges in a shape you pretty much could make round edges on every corner. Now it only appears a few places.

grouped objects don't snap to corners most of the time
If you have shapes in a group, it's very very hard, to place it with the group corner in the page corner.
You except that it will snap with the top-left corner of the group to the top-left corner of the page (position 0,0), but very often you can't. And when you think AI did it, it's not exactly at 0,0.

Don’t ‘smooth’ a straight path when removing points
When removing a point on a straight line, don’t try to make a curve but keep the line straight.

Pen Tool Malfunction
Pen tool will not allow me place an anchor point on certain points. It will let me anchor on the pixel above or below, but will not let me click to start a path anywhere inbetween. It's causing me to cut chunks out of images I'm trying to apply a clipping mask to or leave background slivers in.

Rotate axis freezes illustrator
When trying to rotate an object at a different axis point, the arrow button then freezes and won't allow you to drop the axis point to an another area, leaving illustrator to stop working. Not sure if this is a bug in the recent update.

Width Tool shows no highlighted contour
while using the width tool I notice the absence of an highlighted contour to see the modification of the line that could help to see better the size and proportion applied

Curvature tool has a mind of its own!
Curvature Tool makes curved lines before using the handles...it thinks for itself - never used to be this way. The old way is the best - older versions before 2018 I believe.
Please advise...1 vote -

How to stop illustrator from smoothing scatter brush
Hello
I'm using Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) on a macbook pro 2014.I'm having issues with the scatter brushes.
The lines that are drawn don't follow the curve that they're applied to.
They come out by segment, roughly following the curve.This issue has been already described in this adobe forum thread:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/how-to-stop-illustrator-from-smoothing-scatter-brush/m-p/10832098#M160067Is this a bug, and has it been addressed?

Math in Picas is Using Points not Picas
Document units set to picas. In width or height box on tool bar, enter "-3" and it subtracts 3 points. I expect — as it has done since time and eternity — to subtract 3 picas. The number should be the whole version of the document units, not a fraction thereof.

3D revolve doesn't draw properly
I drew half a star, tried to revolve it but it doesn't always layer and shade the different parts correctly. Sometimes a cone appears outside of it. Another example in this screenshot, where there's a line visible straight through it and the shading is wrong in the top part:

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.
