Rasterize not working well on spot colors
I used to work in Illustrator cc 2019 and rasterize images with spot colors don't have any problem. Now in new illustrator I have a BIG problem rasterizing images with spot colors. Please see attachments. And please solve this, I have to work in both Illustrators because of this bug.

Random bugs with extensive use of Transform Effect
I happen to have linked files (typically PNG files) inside a group of objects.
A Transform Effect duplicates the group.
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Here, I typically set a certain number of horizontal and/or vertical move and a number of copies for the whole group including a linked PNG.(Actually, this is a way to bypass the issue of library symbols that cannot include linked files.)
Every time I open the AI document, the original group is visible, the duplicate groups can be seen, but not the linked PNG inside the group, both in the original group…

Gradient, colouring and effect-error
The operations weren't particularly complex, a shape won't change fill between gradient, colour or even empty. The appearance panel is empty, and still there's no possible to change or remove the fill. I tried adding a gaussian blur, after which the entire figure disappeared. I thought it might be a preview issue so I exported it, but it was gone there as well. I attach a screenshot. Right before it happened I tried adding a complex clipping mask (but undid it).

Expand appearance stopped working for offset path on illustrator 2020
Sometimes there's no way to expand the offset path you created. Some other times it works, so I'm pretty sure it's a bug

Free Distort doesn't apply to certain gradient strokes
I was working on a type effect when I realized the Free Distort filter (found under Effect > Distort & Transform > Free Distort) doesn't apply when the selected object uses a stroke with a gradient that is applied along or across the stroke. Is this intentional? I hope it isn't since it doesn't seem intentional.
Here's how I did it.
Create a rectangle. Make sure it has a fill color. Then add a stroke and pick a gradient. Change the stroke style to be either the second or third option. Then apply the Free Distort filter to the object…1 vote -

Shear in Transform Panel doesn't add numbers
In the Transform Panel I use the mouse wheel to adjust the Shear of an object but it does not show the degrees that it is moving. The object does adjust but the panel only reports 0°. As I scroll with the mouse wheel I can see the number flickering. When I click on the selection arrow I can select a number but that only adds to the number of degrees instead of telling me how many degrees I have adjusted it. I have attached a short video where I am adjusting the shear using the mouse wheel

Gaussian Blur Bug
When applying gaussian blur to a shape, the effect looks "pixely" in various zoom percentages. The screenshot shows 100% and it does not look right. If I zoom in to 150% it looks fine, but at 200% it looks strange again. This did not happen in CC 2018.
Can we get this fixed? Thanks!

Zoom Blur gets cutoff.
At high amounts, the blur effect from zoom blur gets cut off (specifically with text, whether the text is rasterized or not. I haven't tested other shapes). It's related to the "add x amount of space around objects" setting (though no number actually fixes it. It is easy to see when you compare the effect in Illustrator to the effect in Photoshop.
You guys really need to work on Illustrator's effect system. It's the one thing no other vector app has, but some things don't work or aren't effective because we have less control than we do in Photoshop.

The pucker creates white triangles at the bottom of the artwork. It seems to export to jpg as it is supposed to, but the vector artwork displays incorrectly.

Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Hi together,
recently I came accross a mapping bug with a stroke ( width 0.2 Pt ) applied to a waving flag shape used in a symbol that was mapped to a 3D model.
All details can be found at Adobe Illustrator User Forum here:
Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Laubender Mar 21, 2019
https://forums.adobe.com/message/10989571#10989571Workarounds like expanding the stroke and working with an extra path element stacked behind the flag shape did not help.
The only workaround that will help is rendering the elements to an image and implement the placed and not linked image…

3D Extrude and Bevel - Rough color transitions
The 3D extrude and bevel doesn't seem to handle transitions between curved surfaces and straight surfaces well. There's a very rough color transition in the resulting 3D render where one would expect a smooth transition. See attached for an example.

Stroke weight reverts to previous scale when embedding after rotating a graphic.
AI CC 22.1
I had an linked .pdf at 10% scale, which I rotated 90 degrees, then scaled up by 1000%, then I embedded the file. The strokes in the artwork reverted back to 10% size. If I repeat the procedure, but do not rotate the file first, then the stoke retains the enlarged size.
