Using shortcut adds icon to toolbar
Hi,
I want to have customized toolbars that only show the tools I've specified. However, when I select a tool via a shortcut, e.g V for Selection Tool, that icon is then added to my custom toolbars. Very frustrating and distracting.

Toggling outline view should not modify file
When toggling Preview/Outline mode, the current file behaves as though a modification was made, even though nothing appears in the Undo history.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an existing AI file
2. Go to "View" menu
3. Select "Outline" (or "Preview", if the file was saved whilst in Outline view)
4. Go to "Undo" menu
5. Notice there's nothing to undoThis is only a nitpick, but it's been gnawing at me for a while.

Image Trace panel greys out on existing traced object
CC2019 v23.0.6
After tracing an object, the Image Trace panel is greyed out. The only way to 'activate' the options is to switch views in the Control Bar a couple of times. It's arbitrary and annoying.

AI doesn't warn about matching hotkeys for commands and actions
Actions can only be bound to F-keys.
Keyboard shortcuts can be match to almost anything, including F-keys.
When user tries to register new keyboard shortcut that already exists, AI warns them about conflict.
But when user creates new shortcut for F-combination, already taken by action, AI says nothing.
For example, if one of my actions uses Ctrl+Shift+F2, and then I want to assign same Ctrl+Shift+F2 for 'Change case' command, AI won't notify me. Action will run, but not a command then. If I uses Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F2 for that (or any) command, it still won't run, but action will do.4 votes -

File menu and dialogue boxes black/invisible
Since the most recent update, Illustrator will periodically loose the ability to display dialogue boxes and drop down menus. Drop down menus show black until I mouse over, and then the items show as I mouse over then. But the dialogue boxes remain invisible. I can "navigate" blindly sometimes and get my document to save without seeing what I'm clicking on (muscle memory, I suppose), but sometimes the whole program just crashes. This has been happening consistently over the past few weeks. 2-3 times a day.

Rotation too easily happens! Screws up resizing and selecting.
This claims to be answered in an earlier post but it isn't. The only solution is too zoom way in and select or undo the rotation when you notice it. If you have to hit the item in the toolbar each time you make a selection to nullify this it's ridiculous. Totally unprofessional and unproductive. Give us a solution please!! Your programmers have to have realized this by now.

Switching application windows causes window to resize off screen
I'm not sure if this is an Illustrator issue or a window resizer issue (I use Divvy), but I'm using CC 2019 on OS 10.14 and every time I switch between two applications (or another space for that matter), my Illustrator window resizes off the screen. Is anyone else having this issue?

Tool Menus Errors: Tool menus click through into the tool options below them.
Tool Menu Interface Errors:
I have my Character Tools on Top, then my Swatches below, then my Transparency tools.
I click to change transparency setting and the color swatches are below, thus what ever I click in the menu clicks through into the swatches and thus my color changes. Same issue when I change fonts.
I click the multiply option in my transparency tools and that menu pops up over the swatches, thus whatever I click, clicks through the little menu and into the swatches color. See attached or you won't understand.

Cannot view 150% zoom level
- Illustrator CC 20.1 (64-bit); Windows 10-64
- Trying to zoom to 150% by selecting the preset option from the zoom drop-down menu, or using Ctrl++
- Expected result: document is shown at 150% zoom (actual size due to DPI scaling issues)
- Actual result: zoom preset goes to 200% and document is shown at 200%. This only happens with this document and not others; it contains both vector and raster data. For some reason I can zoom at every other preset except 150% (true actual size)

Ungroup hotkey does not work
'Ungroup' keystroke (CTRL+SHIFT+G) does not work. I even went into the keyboard shortcuts and tried to reassign that keystroke to the command, and it won't let me. 'Group' (CTRL+G) works great. Clicking ungroup in the properties panel is the only thing that works.

Tabs captions are missing, Home screen is visible through the hole
Above the top ruler I should be able to see a tab, or multiple tabs when several files are open. However all that is shown is a cropped "Ai" ident. This means the only way I can flick between files is by through "Window" in the top panel.

Problems with text, bounding box, selections, scaling and more
Hello, I’ve been having a problem with Illustrator for now a week. The version I am working with is 22.1 and I am working on a MacBook Pro 15in 2017 with Sierra 10.13.5, Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Graphics: Radeon Pro 560 4096 MB and Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB,
I noticed that the problem always starts showing up when I am working with text, especially when changing the tracking of the text. The problem shows up after usually a couple hours of work and it “resets” when restarting the application or…
