Text object locations corrupted on saving in 24.0
Not actually sure if this is a file save issue or a UI issue. I've been working on a drawing for a few days (24.0 on Windows 10) when at some point, after a save, the location of a lot of the text objects is corrupted. Open the same file in Acrobat DC (for PDF) or browser (for SVG), and it looks fine. In Illustrator, not so much. Have replicated it a number of times, working in .pdf, .svg, and .ai formats. It's a show stopper, not sure how to proceed.

Radiobox on the Symbol options behaves inverse to the expected using the keyboard arrow keys
See the attached image, notice that Symbol Type is set to Dynamic Symbol. If you wanted to change it to Static Symbol using the keyboard, you'd expect to press down on the arrow keys, correct?
That does not work, instead you need to press UP on the keyboard arrow keys, which is the exact opposite of what you'd expect.

Place returns to the wrong folder
In previous versions of Illustrator, the place command would return to the folder containing the last placed file (say the Worker folder). For example, If I place an object and then save to a different folder (say the Finals folder), the next time I go to place, it takes me to the Finals folder rather than the Worker folder. Not sure when this broke/was changed, but would appreciate getting this function back.

Illustrator 2020 Character Styles Not in English
For some reason in the "Character Styles" window, it says [Estilo de caractere normal] instead of [Normal character style] My language is set to English. I think this is a glitch?

Keyboard shortcuts missing in File New dialog
In the legacy File New dialog, there are keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate the settings, such as Alt+W for the Width input and Alt+L for Bleed. These are missing in the newer File New dialog.
Luckily, we can still use Illustrator's Preferences to revert back to the legacy dialog, but keyboard shortcuts still do need to be implemented on the new dialog.

Selection is not visible in Illustrator 2020
I just installed the latest version of Illustrator and it's pretty horrible to use. I cannot see the direct selection points on any object. I have tried toggling show bounding box and it doesn't make any difference. When an object is selected it is not highlighted so it's impossible to tell whether it is selected or not.

Shortcut conflict
Illustrator 24.0 under macOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88)
The 'New from Template…' command in the File Menu has the shortcut ⇧⌘N, which is all well and fine, except it conflicts with the Type▸Insert WhiteSpace Character▸En Space, which has the exactly same shortcut, ⇧⌘N.
Assigning two commands to the same shortcut is rather bad form, with unreliable results.

Menus stuck on one item
After I relink something, the other tabs in that section get stuck on 'Links'. If I select 'Layers' it shows 'Links', if I select 'Libraries' it shows 'Links' and so on...
Dragging the tab out and back in again doesn't fix it. I can't have all these items out in their own tabs as I don't have the room with all the other items I need on a day-to-day basis.
This is very irritating as I have to shut down Illustrator every time this happens... which is all the time.
I've attached screenshots so you can see the same menu…

Despite all efforts, dialogue boxes will not pop-up on primary display, only the MacBook Pro display.

Placing SVG object locks AI for >5 seconds
Hello,
On some AI installations, Placing an SVG file locks up AI for a 'long' time. Clicking makes the screen go black. After a relatively long wait, even for a trivial SVG file, the SVG object can be placed on the canvas. Placing a png does not show that slow down. On most machines this is not experienced
What could be the cause of this?

VoiceOver is not speaking in all of the Adobe software
I am visually impaired, I have a hard time navigating around all of the Adobe softwares on the Mac. I use VoiceOver on my Mac as my screen reader. I was hoping if you could fix this problem as soon as possible. I am in college and I really need to use Adobe software in my corse.

Flashing screen when loading multiple files at once
When multiple files are loaded at one time when the Application Frame is disabled it will result in an annoying screen flicker/blinking of each file loading as a new window. The more files that are loaded at once the more blinking you will be blinded by.
Usually of Illustrator preloads all of the files first and then loaded the main window/set of tabs, as apposed to loading each tab one at a time with this visual annoyance.
I've tested this on earlier on Illustrator 23.1.1 on High Sierra and this issue does not occur.
It does occur on my primary…

Make CMD+D to behave the same way in both Illustrator and InDesign
I like the CMD+D on Illustrator but want that on InDesign for duplicating things easier, and I also like the CMD+D on InDesign and I want that on Illustrator to relink photos easier. So maybe keep the CMD+D the same in both and create a new left hand command for the other?
I'm down1 voteYou can reassign these commands to new hotkeys manually to any combination you need, using Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
If you think that all Adobe apps should have the same keyboard shortcuts anyway, you can try to upvote this general request.

Print Dialog Error Happening Every Day
Everyday after about four to six hours of use I go to print a file and get this bug. It renders the software unusable and I have to force quit the program and restart to get my recovered files. I really have no idea what is causing this error.

Installing previous patch removes custom workspaces
After installing v 23.0.6 going down from v23.1 using the Creative Cloud app, ALL of my custom workspaces were DELETED. Considering this doesn't happen when going up a version, I wouldn't have thought this would happen going back down to the previous version (still CC 2019). No warnings were given that this would happen.
