You took away the highlighted outlines from when I select and create objects
I cannot see the outlines highlighted on anything I select, this has ruined my ability to use this program.
I tried going into preferences and selecting the option for showing anchors when I select and it did not work either.I want the old version back, this is useless, PLEASE STOP CONSTANTLY UPDATING THIS PROGRAM
1 voteSorry to hear that you are facing this issue. Looks like you have ‘Show Edges’ option disabled. Goto View→ Show Edges and it will enable the outlines.

Spell Check doesn't understand what "Uncapitalized Start of Sentence" means.
While running spell check, Illustrator doesn't seem to understand that a comma is not the end of a sentence, or that the word following the comma is the start of a new sentence. See attached screen shots.

Right click on layers + Layer group shortcut don't work
Both me and my colleagues have that Illustrator is NON-RESPONSIVE every few days when it comes to shortcut keys and other UI related controls, like right clicking layers. Try and group a few layers when you can't use shortcuts or right click 'm.
Today I've spent the better part of the day trying to fix this, since it makes work near impossible.
I've restarted app, restarted PC, restarted app without prefs, updated app, restarted app and PC again, deleted prefs file (rename to OLD) and what not.
I expected it wouldn't last the entire day.
Well ... I expected this…1 vote -

Dialog boxes appearing on second display
I run Illustrator CC on an iMac (5K, 27-inch, late 2015) running Mojave, with a secondary ViewSonic display for browser windows, etc. I do my design work on the iMac display. Sadly, all of my Adobe Illustrator dialog boxes (save, etc.) appear on that second display (this has been the case for the last few CC releases, and predates Mojave)—it got so annoying that I disconnected the second display for a while. No issues with the other Adobe apps I run (Photoshop and InDesign). Would love to see this resolved.
1 votePlease upgrade to latest Illustrtor version 23.0. We did fix something similar. However we do recommend and support Illustrator only on primary monitors

Application Frame & Tabs bar
Often when opening a file & launching the application the tabs bar is inactive as you can see in the attachment.
Disabling the application frame "fixes" it... but still, it's irritating.1 vote -
Some shortcuts not working in 22.1
For example Transform each Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D not working at all.

Essentials Classic Workspace is missing
I have students who do not have access to the Essentials Classic Workspace. If this was removed this is a BAD idea, particularly for education environments. Educators like myself spend a great deal of time producing project-specific videos using a particular interface configuration and if my students cannot access it the videos and my valuable time have been wasted.s
1 voteJim, Essentials Classic workspace is still there and won’t be removed, as far as I know. That is definitely a local corruption, and a clean reinstallation or Preferences reset is advised.
If you are still missing it, please comment back.

It does not change even if you enter a value on the Transform panel
After entering X position, move to Y position with tab key and enter and enter value and value will not change even if enter key or tab key is pressed.
Sometimes, this bug appears in Y position or Height.

Missing functionality when using external displays
When using multiple external displays, Illustrator New Document screen and Helpful Hints popups not displaying properly resulting in inability to see and select options necessary to create a new document or see all of the information in the popups and close the popups.
I've called support twice without a resolution. Attempts to resolve have included updating both primary and secondary display drivers.
Work around for creating new is to change Preferences to "Use legacy 'File New' interface", but this doesn't resolve the Helpful Hints popups which can't be closed as a result of this bug.

Illustrator and taskbar auto-hide
I use the auto-hide feature for my taskbar on my dual-monitor Windows machine (specs below), but for some reason in Illustrator ONLY, I have to click out of Illustrator to access my taskbar. This does not happen in Ps, Ae or Pr
So, if I'm working in Illustrator I have my main panel on my left monitor and my panes on the right. I have to click on my desktop below my panes to access my taskbar. (see screen shot)Windows 7 Professional SP1

Menus are too large
This is only an Illustrator problem where the drop down menus and dialog pop ups are way too large compared to the rest of the user interface. I've tried every solution. Running this on Windows 10 Pro on a 2K screen.

Selecting options in panel dropdown menus always activates the item below the menu
This bug has been affecting me for many months through multiple updates. It happens consistently. When I click an item in a dropdown menu within a tool panel, no matter how careful I am I end up activating whatever option is BELOW the menu at that location.
EXAMPL (see attached video): In the gradient panel I select the Location option, which opens a dropdown menu with 10 options (0% to 100%). When the Location menu opens, it hangs down over the tool panel below. In this case, Swatches. I select 80%: the physical location of that option in the menu…1 votePlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Illustrator File Loading Problem
When opening a file Illustrator makes the program window really small then loads the entire file before giving the error message "Not enough room for the document to open" this is extraordinarily inefficient and very embarrassing when sitting with a client, especially seeing as though they are being charged for the time!
