When clicked on file>export, the menus closes.
Operating System: MAC High Sierra
When clicking on export under FIle menu the menu closes, This is not expected as this might happen by mistake before the sub menu has opened.
This is also not consistent with photoshop file>export.
In photoshop when clicked on export menu under file, the menu will not get closed.1 vote -

Error on Artboard/Workspace
- Adobe Illustrator CC 22.0.1
- Tried working on a new artboard to learn interface and immediately started getting this problem - this happens when I select an object and try to move it. Then I am unable to move anything properly. I have been unable to find any settings that may have caused this. I uninstalled and reinstalled and have received this same problem on different files and art boards.
- A triangular cut out that appears on the artboard and causes the objects to malfunction when manipulated.
If I try to create something new, it disappears and then shows up again.

Selecting list view does not change from grid view in "Start" screen.
v22.0.1
Selecting "list" view in the "start" window does not change the view. Have restarted numerous times. Not a big deal, but annoying when I need to see full file names (which are truncated in grid view).
1 voteThe issue no longer happens in the latest versions of Illustrator.
If it still happens for you — please comment back with details.

Menu Issues
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1
Illustrator 22.0.1When the Application Frame is disabled, the menu items are displayed incorrectly. The "View" menu is attached.
I have reset the preferences and the menus seemed to work fine, but when I disabled the application frame, they went crazy again.
Also discussed on Twitter with Customer Care. https://twitter.com/scottzirkel/status/928392054660530176

Create New
I have Illustrator 2018. Whenever I click create new, I'm expecting to see the full range of canvas options, but instead it's cut off at web (instead of including Art & Illustration canvases etc.). Resizing the window still cuts it off, and sometimes it'll fit but there will be white space instead of filling the window.

Name layer pop up panel appears twice
On macOS 10.12.6, working with a Wacom. If you double-click on a layer to rename it and the panel pops up to rename, clicking OK doesn't get rid of the panel. It re-appears a second time.

I can't paste into a new layer
I've updated to Illustrator version 22.0.0. I am working on a file where I need to replace a logo bug, so created a new layer. I've locked the original layer and then tried to paste the new bug onto the new layer (yes, it is selected), but I get the notice "You are attempting to paste or drag into one or more layers that are locked or hidden. Do you want to unlock and show all approriate layers?" So now I have to paste onto the original layer first, then move up to new layer. Is this a bug?
1 voteAs stated in the comment, if 'Paste Remembers Layers' option is turned off in Layers panel’s menu, this is an expected behavior — Illustrator tries to paste the art into a layer with the same name it was copied from, ignoring the selection in Layers.
If you disable it, Ai will respect the layer selected.

Sorry to hear that you are facing this issue. If you want to turn it off, you need to switch to some other tool. Or you can remove it from panel by the flyout menu.

"New Document" window doesn't scale on Windows 10
On Windows 10, the "New Document" window (reachable from the "Get Started" window by pressing "Create new...", for example) doesn't scale according to the scaling set in Windows display settings.
Set to 250% (Windows recommendation), the window looks fine.
Set to smaller values, the content doesn't fit in the frame. See attachment (200%).1 votePlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

Issue when typing in the font name field to find a font
v. 22.0.0
iMac 2017 on High SierraI use English and Greek keyboards on my Mac.
Very often I start typing in the Fonts field to find a specific font.
If the keyboard is set to Greek when I start typing, I delete anything I have typed, use the keyboard shortcut and start again.The bug is that the shortcut to switch keyboard language doesn't work while I am doing this.
I have to grab the mouse and go on the Mac's menu bar and do it there, then go back in illustrator and start typing again.

Pasting non-English text from Word
v. 22.0.0
iMac 2017 High SierraPasting some Russian or Chinese text from Word, in my case, and then trying to change the font, collapses the font samples popup menu so I am unable to do it.
I figured it was some formatting the text had from the word file because the same scenario but with unformatted text from TextEdit app, didn't trigger the bug.
Still it is very frustrating having to copy my texts to TextEdit first!

Input boxes handle keypresses inconsistently
This is an intermittent bug.
When typing in input boxes I find that performance can be inconsistent. Sometimes, the cursor will jump to the end of the string inside the box, so I end up appending after the unit (e.g. "406 px+7"), which then errors.
Another example is the input box just not inserting characters at all. It seems especially prone to missing arithmetic characters such as + or - or /. For example, I meant to type "300+100 px" but instead it ignores the plus and displays "300100 px", which then error because it's too big.
I've attached a…

Zoom options in View menu items have completely wrong labels
There's an absolutely bizarre off-by-two error in the View menu in Illustrator CC 22.0 that I just noticed while working on something today.
When initially starting Illustrator CC 22.0, the "Fit All in Window" and "Actual Size" items in the View menu have the correct labels (see attachment zoomoptscorrect.png). However, once a file has been opened, these menu items are assigned completely wrong labels, which should belong to the items two spaces lower in the menu — "Hide Edges" and "Hide Artboards", respectively (see zoomoptswrong.png).
