Bezier Curves break on circles when compounding shapes.
1) Windows 10, Illustrator 23.0.3(64bit)
2) Experienced a bug while compounding a shape into a circle, this managed to break the Bezier curve. This became an issue with a plot cutter slicing from one point to another in graphics production. The issue can be seen when compounding a shape. After using the pathfinder to minus a shape, two live corner appear in the center of the selection. When pulled the live corners on the circle create angled points.1 vote -

ALIGN not working correctly in Illustrator 23.0.3
Ever since the latest update for Illustrator (23.0.3) Align does not work correctly. I've got 3 items selected; I click on the Align tab; use the "Align to" dropdown box and select "Align to Selection"; then click the "Horizontal Distribute Space" icon - but it distributes it across the page instead of just the THREE ITEMS I've selected.
I've noticed other align issues over the last week or so but cannot give details like I did above because today I stopped my work so I can come out here an list my problem.

AI smartobject doesn't open from Photoshop
This is an old bug THAT IS BACK!!! Double clicking an AI smart object in photoshop opens Illuistrator but it doesn't open the object. You have to close Illustrator completely and do it over again until it works.

Illustrator problem
This is not ethical. I know that. But I want to publish this video. Just explain to me why these problems are caused. I've never seen any logical explanations until this time. And that makes me sad.
Illustrator is very clumsy, slow, has bad performance, interface bad and exhausting.
Example, I can't easily apply effects on an object or text. Restricts me with everything. These are very simple and the features that should be. I'm sure a lot of people think that.Affinity is small size, more practical and user-friendly, faster and cheaper.
Many of your competitors come up with…1 votePlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

copy and paste only works sporadically with Wacom tablet. All AI versions up to CC 23.0.2
From at least version CS6 to CC 23.0.2 copy/paste when using a Wacom tablet only functions some of the time and I can't figure out a pattern to the behaviour. Using a mouse on the same system had no such problems. This is either using shortcut keys or the Edit menu commands. Problem on Win 7 Pro, although I've heard reports of it occurring on other O/S. This may be a partner to the "sticky rotate centre" issue reported elsewhere and which also occurs on my system.

What video formats can we upload to bug requests?
I used to be able to upload videos to the bug reports but now no matter what format I seem to choose, I get a note that the format cannot upload. Furthermore, the bug report gets posted anyway without notice so if I try to upload a different format the post is double posted.
Can you please tell us what types of formats are allowed?
Can you change the bug report form so that when an unsupported video format is selected there's a warning or indication before pressing the post idea button OR if an unsupported format is selected and…

Illustrator won't open any files
Since the new update I am completely unable to open any AI or PDF file in Illustrator. Nothing will open, just the rainbow ball of death forever until I have to Force Quit. I've uninstalled Illustrator and even installed earlier versions with no luck. I've 'repaired' Creative Cloud with also no luck.
I'm working on MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Illustrator v23
A couple times I've gotten an error message that says: "cannot open ___ file because this file does not exist."
Please help!

Turn Sensei Off and Presets
Sensei is making my life ****...what it thinks I want to do is not what I want to do, as such the bug I want to report is my "turn sensei off" button is hidden. For example when using the puppet tool I have to now delete all the pins Sensei thinks I want before I can do the thing I actually want to do making the task longer than it needs to take. That's just the latest (five minutes ago) example of how Sensei is messing up day. Give us a checkbox in preferences to turn Sensei off.
Presets…
1 voteThere is already a preference to turn off the Sensei feature that you spoke about. Go to preference , go to general tab and turn off the checkbox “Enable Content Aware Defaults”. This is the last option on the second column.
Units are part of presets so each time you create a file using a preset it will create using the units that was saved in the preset. To workaround this what you need to do is follow the following steps:
1. Press CTRL+N or CMD+M – depending on your platform
2. Select the preset of your choice e.g. A4 / Letter etc…
3. On the right pane change the unit to your choice like inches.
4. Create your file
5. The next time you come back to this file new dialog you should have this preset in your recent tab
