Artboard tooltip cannot be dismissed
When I double click on an Artboard to open its properties, I receive a blue tooltip "Shift-click to select multiple artboards. Alternatively, Shift-drag to draw a marquee...". However, I am unable to dismiss this tooltip because the Artboard Options dialog is open, and that is at the highest z-index, and I cannot interact with any other interface unless I dismiss this dialog.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 23.0.6 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

Holding Shift (or Ctrl) to move RGB sliders together in Color panel doesn’t work when color is white
A Help article on Color panel states we can hold Shift (also works for Ctrl, although unspecified there) to move color channels’ sliders 'in tandem', together, — http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html#keys_for_the_color_panel
This indeed works, in both RGB and CMYK modes (not in HSB, since its values won’t benefit from it).
However, if all three RGB sliders are at 255/100% (white), this mode doesn’t work — please see the GIF attached.
It probably makes sense for CMYK, where it’s not clear if 0-0-0-0 should become something like 24-24-24-24, but it totally makes sense for RGB, where we expect to get a gray color.
Thanks…

Transparency panel shows 0% for the mixed opacity values
When having a selection of art with mixed opacity values, Transparency panel should display blank, as Illustrator does for color values or stroke weights, but instead it lies they all have 0%.
Take a look at the GIF attached.

Some menu items are missing access keys (underline letters when Alt is held) when
On Windows, Alt keys can be used to access all menus via keyboard.
When you hold Alt, a letter that you can press to access a particular item is underlined.Some items though are missing these underlines, specifically:
Edit > Spelling, My Settings, Edit Colors
Object > Collect for Export
Window > Extensions, Find Extensions on Exchange, Workspace, Toolbars... most panels here, including newer ones.Some are less needed, some are more important.
Please don’t miss these. It feels like new items loose these (except for new Select Same Text options — good job!)10 votes -
MacOS Big Sur rendering bug.
Hi!
I am an apple developer and I installed Big Sur beta (now on version 3) for work. I run into a problem with Illustrator that other people are not seeing. If I open one file everything is OK. When opening two or more files, I get a really nasty visual problem, with Illustror only. See file attached. Is anybody else having this problem, is there a way to fix it? I reinstalled Illustrator and it keeps happening.10 votesThis issue is resolved in Big Sur (macOS 11) public release

Illustrator splash stays always on top
This really goes for any Adobe program but the programs always pop to the top of all of my windows which drives me crazy. I hate when I'm trying to multi-task only to have the Progress window pop up in the middle of my view. Or worse when the program Window itself jumps to the front. I use this software in a professional setting so I'm always working on something else when my files are loading. Please stop forcing the program and progress bars to the front of all open windows.

Zoom - Scroll Wheel
In Illustrator CC the program seems hardwired to not listen to the tablet settings about scroll wheel zoom or even touch pad zoom. There are lots of people online complaining about this and trying to find work arounds.
I suggest just creating a hard wired button like photoshop did to fix this issue.
This wasn't an issue with Illustrator CS4, so I'm not sure what changed.10 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Context Task Bar flickers when panning with a scroll, using mouse or touchpad
CTB hides itself when we pan.
It looks more or less tolerable when we hold Spacebar to pan, or hold a mouse wheel ('why should someone has access to the panel while scrolling'), but it looks HORRIBLE when scrolling with a wheel or using a touchpad.The panel flickers each tick, making it painful to look at.
Some say it happens for them only with Show Grid enabled, but for me it just happens all the time. Either way, CTB should be smart enough to skip the state update for this type of panning.

Windows版27.3.1で現行版MS-IME利用時にCtrl+ホイール移動でフリーズ
Windows版27.3.1+MS-IMEが現行版（旧バージョンにしていない）の場合、Ctrl+マウスホイールによる横スクロールを実行するとフリーズします
- Windowsの設定で、日本語IMEの全般設定で「以前のバージョンのMicrosoft IMEを使う」をOFFの状態（デフォルト状態）
- 27.3.1で新規ファイルを作成する
- Ctrl+マウスホイールで横スクロールを繰り返す
この操作のみでフリーズし、一切の操作がきかなくなります。
「以前のバージョンのMicrosoft IMEを使う」をONにすることで回避はできますが、従来の27.2ではこの問題は起きていませんでした。
こちらについてはIllustratorフォーラムの投稿にて発覚しました。https://adobe.ly/3JmAvWA

Illustrator does not omit spaces in values in inputs, unlike in InDesign
Just like it is demonstrated in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnv5bcuIOrt/
Unlike in InDesign, where we can accidentally make this:
'21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' and get '210 mm' as a result, in Illustrator it goes liek this instead:
'21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' → '21 mm'
It just doesn’t understand what an aiming mistake is. Makes little sense, since it can’t be anything but that, so no punishment, please.9 votes -
When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty
If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.
Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.
So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

Preferences dialog window opens small, tiny, shrunk, and I can't access any settings

Dialog box pop up warning when opening the application for IllustratorGc.jsx
Illustrator version:25.3 (updated today to run natively for M1)
Hardware Specifications:
MacBook Pro M1
OS: macOS Big Sur 11.4I updated my Illustrator today to run natively on M1 and have been facing this issue for a while.
I changed none of my preferences but randomly seem to be getting this warning pop-up that does not go away when clicking on 'Continue' or 'Cancel' - I tried reinstalling the app which didn't work at first, so I removed my preferences and tried again but that did not fix it. It seems the warning pop-ups just when I open the application…

Toggling tabs does not refresh/display correct file.
When multiple files are open, toggling from one file to another (via tabs) does not always display the correct file.
I've only encountered this bug with CC 2019.

Graphic Styles Panel Crashes Illustrator (macOS Movaje)
Illustrator CC 2019 on macOS Mojave becomes unusable after loading the "Graphic Styles" panel. After the panel loads, there's a brief beach ball followed by the "Not enough memory to process the appearance" error message. The menus then become "greyed out" and the only way to proceed is to force quit illustrator and restart.
On the surface I can avoid loading the "Graphic Styles" panel, but there are other panels that I need to load that only load with the "Graphic Styles" panel attached to them.
I've deleted the AI preferences and uninstalled/reinstalled Illustrator and the result is the same.
