missing id in exported svg
When I export the attached .ai file to svg, the result does not contain the id of the r14 rectangle.
Before you say "well just add it in manually", please consider that this is a simplified version and that the real thing would contain dozens, even hundreds of objects.
Note that I am not using the artboard. The idea is to use this svg to be animated by the GreenSock javascript library.1 voteThanks a lot Francis for filing the issue. Please feel free to open a new issue if you should experience the issue again or another one.

Adding Preset Brushes to Brushes CAN cause drop down menu to break
I wanted to have all the brushes that come packed with Illustrator available to me at all times. I loaded the ones I wanted, selected and added the brushes. Once I did this the drop down menu crashes and will not come back, the top is lost and does not scroll up. This has effected all my documents until I closed down Illustrator. When I did this again it was fine.... any ideas?
1 voteHi Benjamin,
Once you load all the brushes that you need in brushes panel, Save it as library from the flyout and you can open this library everytime you want to use it.
You can mark the library persistent, so that it opens on restarting the application.
Hope this helps. If you still need help write to sharewithai@adobe.com with mention of this.Thanks

Carcoal feather Stroke instead of basic
Ai CC 2017, 2018; I was trying to create a circle with clean basic stroke style instead it keeps appearing as a charcoal feather stroke. I was working on Surface pro 4 while converting an image to vector. This doesn't happen on Pc or Mac.

The top layer has an additional BLACK stroke applied that’s why the WHITE stroke on the artwork is not displayed. Please select Layer 1 from Layers panel and then from Appearance panel remove the Stroke.
Hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Font Suggestion and Cursor misbehaving
I'm already feeling a lot of regret for updating to CC 2018!
Now anytime I want to change a font, and I start typing in the name, no suggestions come up. Sometimes, the cursor jumps backwards and start inserting characters midway. I feel frustrated and fed up.1 voteHi Love,
Looks like your setting is set to “Search First work only”. Click on the search icon and from the drop down select “Search Entire Font Name”
Thanks

With multiple selection, you have to wait before clicking on key object
Illustrator CC 2018
Windows 10With a multiple selection, if the last object you click is the one you want to align to, you have to wait a little bit before re-clicking to set it as key object, otherwise it will go into Isolation mode or Symbol edition mode (if it's a Symbol).
1 voteYou can tweak the double click speed in Windows settings or disable 'Double Click To Isolate' option in Illustrator’s Preferences > General.

Align to Artboard: X and Y position not established within the active artboard
Illustrator CC 22.0.1
Align to Artboard: X and Y position not established within the active artboard but retains the global X and Y position.
When selecting and copying the X position of vertex (A) on active artboard (A), then activating another artboard (B) and selecting vertex (B). When pasting the X position for vertex (A) from artboard (A) to vertex (B) on artboard (B) it pastes the global X position. The previous version retained the local artboard X position when align to artboard was activated. Which is very helpful in maintaining consistency between artboards.
1 voteThis happens most probably because the rulers mode set differently.
You can toggle it with View > Rulers > Change To Global/Artboard Rulers command.
Please reply back if it helps.

"Preview in Browser" resets to Safari
"Preview in Browser" option in save for web window is resets to Safari everyday(After restart). Several times I tried selecting Google Chrome and set as default in browser menu, but chrome is getting removed from the browser menu automatically after I restart the Illustrator.
1 votePlease contact Apple support. macOS controls the default browser setting. You can validate the default browser by double clicking any html file on your system.

Selecting list view does not change from grid view in "Start" screen.
v22.0.1
Selecting "list" view in the "start" window does not change the view. Have restarted numerous times. Not a big deal, but annoying when I need to see full file names (which are truncated in grid view).
1 voteThe issue no longer happens in the latest versions of Illustrator.
If it still happens for you — please comment back with details.

I can't paste into a new layer
I've updated to Illustrator version 22.0.0. I am working on a file where I need to replace a logo bug, so created a new layer. I've locked the original layer and then tried to paste the new bug onto the new layer (yes, it is selected), but I get the notice "You are attempting to paste or drag into one or more layers that are locked or hidden. Do you want to unlock and show all approriate layers?" So now I have to paste onto the original layer first, then move up to new layer. Is this a bug?
1 voteAs stated in the comment, if 'Paste Remembers Layers' option is turned off in Layers panel’s menu, this is an expected behavior — Illustrator tries to paste the art into a layer with the same name it was copied from, ignoring the selection in Layers.
If you disable it, Ai will respect the layer selected.

unable to turn off this new touch type button in the character panel
unable to turn off this new touch type button in the character panel
1 voteHi Steve,
Sorry to hear that you are facing this issue. If you want to turn it off, you need to switch to some other tool. Or you can remove it from panel by the flyout menu.
If this doesn’t resolve your issue, then please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here

Adding assets to Asset Export
Illustrator 2018 is not letting me create a single asset from ungrouped layers. In the previews version the functionality was simple, you just select as many ungrouped layers and it would create a single asset.
Is this is a new fancy bug?
1 voteHi Paul,
You can create single asset from un-groupped layers by holding Opt/Alt key while adding the asset.
This is intended change in behaviour in Illustrator 2018, creating multiple assets in a single add operation was not possible earlier.
Thanks

New document dialog doesn't provide default values
When in Illustrator, I typically use ctrl-n, then hit enter to automatically open a new document.
However, the new document dialog as of Illustrator 2017.1.0 doesn't have default values filled when the dialog opens, and one is forced to pick the type of document one wants to create, from web, mobile, print, etc. instead of just hitting the "enter" key and changing these settings later.
In other words, you are complicating the flow of creating new documents.
1 voteHi Phillipe,
Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. New document dialog in new version shows the last used profile as default selection.

Small Caps no longer working as it should
Illustrator 2017.1.0. Setting the Small Cap percentage no longer works for some fonts. They seem to have their own default setting that is unaffected by changing the percentage in the Document Setup window. In the attached example, Small Caps is set to 90%. In the first two font examples, you can see it's nowhere near that. If I change the setting, the bottom word will change but the top two remain the same. This is terrible!!
1 voteIllustrator uses real Small Capitals when a font has specialized glyphs for that, just like these two top fonts used in the test file.
When a font does not have true small caps, they get faked using the value from Document Setup.
