  1. Complete Reset (Again) of ALL Preferences After Update (Toolbars, Workspaces, etc.)

    Not sure why this STILL happens, but every time there is a jump from one version of CC (today from CC 2017 to CC 2018), all preferences are dropped.
    All palettes are gone. Tool box is single column i/o 2 (as previously set). None of my preferences carried over from the version I was using right before updating. Very frustrating.

    When you hide the Contextual Task Bar in Illustrator 28.4 it will always reappear after relaunching Illustrator. Even after resetting the preferences.

  4. New bugs in 27.6: Illustrator does not open File from Explorer; Recent Files not refreshed; Wrong Taskbar Caption

    I experienced different annoying bugs fresh after the update to Illustrator 27.6:
    - Double Click on a file in the Windows Explorer lets Illustrator start. But Illustrator does not open the file. It stays idle only.
    - I opened a file (by dragging it onto Illustrator) and saved it as a new file (same name, but different location). When restarting Illustrator and trying to open that NEW file from the recent files list, it opened the OLD file instead.
    - The Windows Taskbar Caption of Illustrator is messed up (see attached image).

    I restarted the PC, uninstalled+reinstalled Illustrator 27.6, cleared…

  5. Why was the Type tool and Pen tool combined?

    Not sure what the reasoning if for put the Pen tool under the Type tool header icon in the toolbar? And why you moved the Remove/Add Anchor Point under the Select tool?
