Layer stack not retaining element color
When adding new elements the layer stack indicator does not retain the color of the previously added layer - it switches to the color of the current element. In the attached image, I am using yellow rectangles to evenly space blue rectangles. The elements in the stack were added in sequence using copy/paste keyboard shortcuts. As you can see in the attached image, the current element is colored yellow but shows up as blue in the layer stack.

Welcome screen doesn't resize to scaled display on Mac
Welcome screen shows up bigger than available screen space when the Mac's display is set to scaled. This leaves out important buttons and info. Welcome screen and document windows should resize to fit screen when opened. Already open documents should at least align to the top right corner if the display scale is changed while Illustrator has open documents. This allows access to the semaphore buttons on the window bar.

IDIOTS
You idiots have made it very difficult to create a new document/art board of my dimensions. I thought I was on a real computer until I wanted to create a new document and the choices are limited like I was on an iPad. Whoever designs this creates a program that does great things very difficultly. You do not have a clue how learning users, and therefore all users, think or do. Hire someone who is an expert in human computer interactions. A good one because you don't have one now.
In case you think I don't know much about this…

Customizable Toolbar - accidental change
Great, these tear-off custamizable toobars!
But when a tool is pressed long, it can be stacked to another tool by accident easily. Getting the icon back to the previous position is not as easy.
Should be nice if this can be done as easy ase stacking two tools.1 vote -

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.

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

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.
My specific system configuration file…
