  1. Units change to points from millimeters in Preferences

    Preferences Units go back to "points" even after I change it to "millimeters" on 2018 CC version. I go to Units (no document open) and change from default POINTS to "mm". When I open a new document it is reading POINTS again!

  2. Duplicating Artboard will unlock and show locked and hidden elements.

    When using the Artboard Tool and clicking on a + sign next to an artboard while holding the Alt/Option key to duplicate an artboard with its contents, Illustrator will Show and Unlock all hidden and locked objects/layers.
    It does this only the first time, when using Undo and trying again it works correct.
