tools panels disappeared.
I've just updated the software and got a dialogue box that some preferences were missing, then the interface changed to the dark one (I opt for the lightest one) and then all my tools seem to have disappeared and I can't get them back. I've quit, reopened, and repeated after restarting but same problem so far exists.

"Open" button not responding first time
After the recent update, with the new layout of the home screen, I have to click the "Open..." button two or three times before it opens the file explorer window. It acts like it is being clicked, but then nothing happens.

Allow Shift + arrows in an input field to always add 10 (like in Photoshop) instead of rounding up to a 10 first
In illustrator if you change sizes using shift + arrows in the top bar, it rounds up to the nearest 10 and then goes up in 10s. In photoshop it doesn't round up just increases by 10.
I think it would be better to be able to choose which mode to use as sometimes I prefer either depending on what I am doing.

Hitting Enter/Return to confirm after modifying values (Stroke, Opacity, Etc) in the Top Toolbar Opens a Move Dialog Box Instead
When modify values such as opacity in the toolbar, i have always hit enter/return to confirm changes. As of recently however, this now opens a Move dialog box instead of submitting my changes. (See the attached gif for an example)
If there is something wrong about my workflow please let me know, but I don't currently see any other way of confirming these types of minor edits.
After several rounds of cancelling the move dialog, the changes will miraculously go through, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why. As you can imagine, this is…

Swatch Panel is not adjustable
Since the new update, the Swatch panel cannot be adjusted and so I cannot have all of my panels open at the same time now. If I expand the color panel, I have to sacrifice another panel to be shrunk. I used to be able to take away the empty space under the swatch area which gave more room for the other panels to be open.
Win 11 and current vs of AI.

Palette Redéfinir les couleurs qui se ferme toute seule au moindre clic
Bonjour. J'ai ce soucis depuis un moment.
Lorsque j'ouvre la palette de modification de couleur ''Redéfinir les couleurs'' qui se trouve dans Edition/Modification des couleurs/Redéfinir les couleurs de l'illustration... dès lors que je clique sur les cercles pour les déplacer et changer la couleur, la palette disparaît. J'ai beau recommencer, dès que je touche les cercles, la palette se ferme. Impossible donc de changer les couleurs de l'illustration.
La video en pièce jointe est très explicite.Si vous avez une solution, je suis preneur.

Navigator is not navigating
Illustrator 30.2.1. Macbook
In the Navigator panel so I can see my artboard and all the items in it. But when my view is for example in the upper right corner, and I click on the lower left corner, because I want my view to pan over there, it only brings me a little bit more to the left. It seems like a big bug and the Navigator is now sort of useless. In previous Illustrator editions it was working perfectly.

Can’t access tools using Essential Classic workspace

Illustrator 30.3 bug: Use Preview Bounds ignored for effects applied directly to symbol instances
In Illustrator 30.3, I appear to have found a bug related to bounding boxes and the Use Preview Bounds preference.
When an effect is applied directly to a symbol instance, Illustrator seems to ignore the Use Preview Bounds setting and behaves as though preview bounds are enabled for that object. This does not happen when the same effect is applied to the symbol definition itself, which has always used preview bounds, regardless of the preference setting, and it does not happen when the symbol instance is placed inside a group and the effect is applied to the group instead (good…

Rich tool tips keep popping up
Rich tool tips are always randomly opening and staying open something even when I am on other side of screen. Hard to take a screen shot, as when I click to screen shot the tool tips disappear. It's been happening on 2 different machines running Sonoma for about 1 year. Never used to happen.
2 votesFixed in the latest Prerelease Build 30.4.0.211, now available in CCD app for all Prerelease program members.
This means the fix is planned to be later pushed in the next general 30.4 release.
The timer for tooltips would now check if the pointer is still within the tool button bounds after the delay finishes.

Gradient Panel gets cut off when selecting a gradient object.
There's an odd bug on Mac (M1 Pro with Latest version of Tahoe) where the Gradient Panel will expand in a way that it cuts off the position input when selecting an object with a gradient. Collapsing and opening the panel temporarily fixes it, but if you click off and click another gradient object again, it'll do it again.
This bug was also in 30.1, and I just updated to the latest version a few minutes ago, tested it again, and the issue is still there.
