Precision touchpad scroll jittering
On my XPS 13 9360, I am having issues when scrolling horizontally or vertically. The scrolling is not fluid; when scrolling at low speeds, the canvas actually scrolls the incorrect direction. This is present in dropdown menus as well. It seems like there are two scrolling actions that are fighting each other, but I am not sure.

Dialog windows don’t fit into a small screen, buttons at the bottom are inaccessible
On Windows 10, using 2 screens.
The dialog boxes for Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver display far larger than the window, meaning I'm unable to reach most of the options.6 votes -
Zooming malfunction when switching between windows.
This occurs when I have multiple documents open in tabs. When I switch between tabs and scroll to zoom, it zooms in the previously opened tab, but not the current one. If I click within the document, then I can start zooming normally again.

Right Click does not work
This is not an idea, it is a bug complaint! My right click does not work on Illustrator on anything. I just downloaded the latest version of Adobe Illustrator Version 2017 21.1.0 in hopes to correct the "right clicking" issue that was in my older version (version prior to 21.1.0). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program and the same problem still persist. My right click does not work! This is slowing down my work and it's definitely not time efficient. Help me fix this now!
6 votesHi,

Pressing Tab in Color panel glitches
When adding a color to a object via the Color panel, normally you could use tab to move to the next field in the CMYK color options. Now and for the past few versions released it glitches any time you use Tab.
To get it to work you now have to type in the number for C, click enter then click in the M, Enter/click Enter and so on, which is time consuming. If you don't do it this way it glitches after hitting.
In the video i linked, the first try is using Tab, then the 2nd where it…

Blue share circle is misplaced under the icon
This blue circle is very distracting and It just looks super weird. I don't know if you guys purposely did this or if it's a UI glitch with the latest update, but if you guys can get this fixed asap it would be helpful. It's SUPER distracting while trying to focus in on work.
5 votesClaimed to be fixed in the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

Home and End buttons in Find and Replace misbehave
Pressing Home and End buttons in all Find and Replace input fields should properly place the cursor at the start and the end of the text, instead of picking first and last values from the dropdown lists (like in happens in the Font Browser).
Home and End should pick the first/last items ONLY when the dropdowns are expanded!5 votes -
Cursor stays invisible after exiting Presentation mode
How to reproduce:
Create a multiple artboard document.
Enter presentation mode.
Do not move the mouse.
Use the left and right arrow keys to view all the art boards.
Note that windows will make the mouse cursor invisible since you are not using it.
Press ESC to return to normal viewing/editing mode.
Now the mouse cursor is invisible.Work around: If you go back to presentation mode and wiggle the mouse and press ESC while the mouse is visible then the mouse will be visible in normal screen mode.

Contextual Task Bar and Help Bar don’t have hotkeys and these can’t be assigned
When I check Keyboard Shortcuts, Menu Commands, Window, I can find Control, Properties... but not Contextual Task Bar or Help Bar. So we can’t assign hotkeys for these and call these from keyboard when needed.
Seems like someone forgot to include these slots for customization. Please expose these.5 votes -
The "color spectrum" in Color panel always shrinking to the minimal size and it is very annoying.
Every time I open Adobe Illustrator, the "color spectrum" in color panel always shrinking to the minimal size. Could you please make it not change according to the size the user wants. I usually need the "color spectrum" to be full size (maximum size). That would really help us designer a lot. Thanks, Adobe team.

ADOBE: FOR GOD'S SAKE WILL YOU TRANSFER CUSTOM SETTINGS AFTER AN UPDATE ALREADY
ADOBE IT IS 2024.
FOR GOD'S SAKE -- AND THIS IS ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M YELLING -- ADD THE FOLLOWING CODE TO ALL ILLUSTRATOR UPDATES:
Copy <Old Custom Workspace AND Keyboard Settings> to <New Version>
Okay? It can't be that friggin' complicated. I'm trying to write a PowerShell VBA to do it, and I'm not a coder.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO MANUALLY GO IN AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL MY CUSTOM SETTINGS ARE LOCATED AND THEN MANUALLY COPYING THEM TO THE UPDATED FOLDER.
This might be too much for UX, but golly gee gosheroonies,…

Releasing the mouse key / pen from dragging a scrollbar outside of the app’s window makes scrolling stuck
While I'm using a stylus, if I use the scrollbar, illustrator acts as if I haven't released from the scroll bar and continues to wildly scroll, and all other features including closing the program are inaccessible. This continues even if I tab out of the program and doesn't stop until I force quit illustrator.
5 votesHi ,
Thanks for reporting the issue, but we are unable to reproduce the issue at our end and would need more information such as the AI build with which the issue started, Wacom device configuration, and OS details of the machine where the issue is observed.

Shortcut for "New from template" does not always work on the home screen
Open a fresh instance of Illustrator 2024 mac, use the CMD+Shift+N shortcut to open the new from template window, close it and try again. Most often the shortcut does not work. This is also the case if the shortcut is used after closing a file and returning to the home screen.

Horizontal Scroll **** + mouse wheel
On mac OS, Illustrator version 27.8
Scrolling horizontally using SHIFT key + mouse wheel, is broken, and appears to be an obvious mathematical error.
Expected behaviour is for the view to scroll left or right.
Actual behaviour is that is works at some zoom levels, say 300% or 400%, but at higher zoom levels it barely scrolls a few pixels, and at 100% or less, it scrolls the entire page or worse for the smallest increment of the mouse wheel.
It seems clear that the zoom amount has been factored into the scroll amount inversely by accident.
This is a…

need to fix control handles
Handles have been broken for about 10 years now, time to fix them.
Clicking on corner tool handle, making stuff rotate, trying to stretch one direction, then it stretching diagonally.Things like that should not be going wrong in software as old as illustrator.

If an AI doc is opened, every other AI document pops up
Mac desktop 11.2.2, AI 25.2. Opening a new AI document, or even just selecting AI, causes documents I've minimized to the Dock to pop up. That's annoying, I minimized them because I want them available but only when I want them. Please give us an option to stop this behavior.
