3D Revolve Clipping
3D Revolve is clipping the front faces. I can get the faces to appear when the object is in a different rotation, when it object is parallel with the view. I've tried this with both a normal path and a compound path.
I think the plane the 3D object is being rendered to is too far forward.

Ofset path bug in 24.1 version - horrible metric precision...
Problem with dimensions after using offset path. Just look - if you have square 100 x 100 mm, and want to make -4 mm offset path - new square is not 92 x 92mm, but... 92.0001 x 92.0001. This is nightmare. See attached. Adobe, I hope this bug will be fixed?

Effects Preview Checkbox Has No Effect After First Check
Version 24.0 (64-bit)
When applying an effect to a path in Illustrator, checking the "Preview" checkbox will preview that effect, but unchecking the box does not return the path back to its original shape. To test:
Use the pen tool to draw a multi-segment shape.
Select the shape
Click Effect->Distort & Transform->Roughen
Click the Preview checkbox (the effect should be applied)
Click the Preview checkbox again (the effect will not be removed)I've tested this with most of the previewable effects in the Effects menu and they all behave the same.

Use Picas as document unit.

Use Offset Path (Effect or Object Menu option)
Try toEnter a small negative value like -0p5
It wont allow you to use a negative value.between 0p0 and -0p11
Switching to a different document unit works.

Weird Transparency Issue
So, I have a very odd quirk happening. When I changed an element from 100% opaque to 70% then copied it and grouped it. Now when I ungroup it the same element that was 70% opaque now thinks it is 100% opaque.
Essentially I can no longer make that element completely opaque anymore. I have to place another instance. This is a bit of a pain when I have resized or altered the placed element.
I am running the latest version of Illustrator as of this post.
I did some searching here and my issue is very similar to this…

Appearance panel - Stroke on rectangle shape
I have a rectangle shape in my appearance panel. When I try to add a stroke to it, I get a row saying "outline stroke" (underdotted as if it should be able to change) and popup tips saying "click to edit effect". But nothing happens when trying to click to open stroke settings. So I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature request or simply me doing it wrong. Anyway, it seams to be meant to work, if not it would be great if you could add things like strokes to these shape rectangles/circles.

transform effect negative numbers
This has been a problem for a long time -- not just the current version of Illustrator. When applying a transform effect to an object and using the "move" part of the effect, negative numbers get converted to positive numbers. Occasionally I can "fool" the effect by not previewing the results but that doesn't work often. This happens whether I type in the numbers by hand or use the slider.

Drop shadows unnecessarily re-render when placing new images, slowing workflow
As of 5/22/18 using Illustrator 22.1, all existing drop shadow effects within document re-render each time a new image is placed. Rendering can take up to 30 seconds to process (a Progress dialogue box appears), which slows down workflow considerably.
This is never an issue with InDesign or Photoshop, so I'd love to see this fixed in Illustrator. Thanks!

Convert to shape tool
When using the convert to shape tool / ellipse:
Select circle imported from PDF that has 100's of points around perimeter. Use convert to shape, ellipse option. If I set the tool to "relative", and the value to zero "0", then the converted shape should match the original. Instead, the shape is larger, because it is using the size of the box inscribed in the circle instead of the diameter (or width and height). Please fix this.

Bug - Element Transparency not adjustable after setting transparency once.
CC 2018
Placing elements on pasteboard works fine. I adjusted the transparency of the element on layer to 40% over a red box. Now the element shows that transparency. If you try to revise the transparency the properties window shows the element at 100%. There is no way to adjust the transparency back to it's original 100% or know the current transparency.3 votes -

Delete the Transform effect.

Gaussian Blur amount for the object dragged differs
If you apply a Gaussian Blur effect to an object and drag it, Illustrator will change the value slightly and restore it back when the transformation is complete.
It seems that Real-Time Drawing and Editing option does not apply the same amount of blur while the drag is in progress.
Especially noticeable if you hide edges temporarily with Cmd/Ctrl + H.
Increasing the blur radius makes the dragged preview blurrier, but still less than the intended value.

Faulty upscaling of 3D object
- Windows 11 latest stable release
- Illustrator 29.9 (Desktop)
- I applied the 3D effect » Extrude & Bevel to my logo design then upscaled it to maximum size as I need exported large raster png of the logo design, but when I upscaled it it just couldn't handle the size as you can see in the attached screenshot below.
- To be able scale the 3D graphics without any limitations, damaged graphics

Classic 3D transformations not working
Classic 3D Transforms are working but acting weird. I created a square and tried to do a classic 3D Isometric Top Transform and it kind of worked, but it was as though it was missing a big triangle out of the front corner. I expanded the object thinking that perhaps it was a display issue and even the expanded version has the missing piece.
