Fonts are not refreshed when right sided metrics are changed
This issue happens in the context of editing the metrics of a font file multiple times (in order to view new metrics changes in realtime).
Fonts will not always be refreshed to the latest version when overwriting a font file in the Adobe Fonts folder with a new updated version:
When a right sidebearing of a glyph is changed and the font regenerated, the font is NOT updated in Illustrator.
Whereas editing a left side bearing and regenerating the font will show the updated font with all edited metrics (both the new left & right sidebearings).
Issue happens in all…

Eyedropper tool not showing correct colors sampled outside of Illustrator
When I click and drag the eyedropper tool outside of Illustrator to sample a color from something else (a website, pdf document, etc.), the color isn't correctly picked up.
For example, if I move the eyedropper over something orange, it shows in Illustrator as blue or black; even if I sample a large white space, it shows in Illustrator as a different color. It seems to only be showing sampled colors as white, neutral, black/gray, and shades of blue.
The program is up-to-date.
I tried it in two browsers, Chrome and Safari, and the results were the same in both. …6 votesWe have seen this issue specific to macOS 10.15. Enabling “Screen Recording” access right to Illustrator resolved this issue.
You can change this setting by going to Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording and add Illustrator Application.
Please try this and reply in comment if the above suggestion worked for you.

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!

Scale tool does not remember previous percentage used
Illustrator 24.2.1 scale tool does not remember the previously used scale setting as it used to do in previous iterations of Illustrator. When you Option click with the scale tool, the dialogue box now shows a random scale amount, sometimes a negative number, sometimes even too large for the tool to be used.

Properties panel contents scaling and freezing
The contents of the Properties panel is scaling down to tiny sizes. It doesn't reset until you quit and reopen Illustrator (CC 2018).
The scaling happens with ⌘+scroll while hovering on the panel. The contents will scale up or down as long as you are holding the ⌘, but if you let it go while the contents are scaled down the panel with freeze at that scale and won't respond to ⌘+scroll anymore. The panel's functions still seem to work fine after this.

Opacity bug
AI CC 2018
I turned the opacity down on a selection to see below layers. Then I went to work on below layers. Upon returning to original layer and re-selecting the object to return it to 100% opacity it showed I was already at 100%. I could not get it back to 100% until I copied and pasted the object to a new layer.5 votesHi,
It seems like opacity is applied on the Layer and not on the object inside that layer. It is possible that the user is selecting object inside the layer and not the layer itself. Hence the user is able to see the opacity of object which is 100% in this case and not the changed opacity of layer.

SVG Export Distortion
I am having 0 success with Adobe Illustrator exports that incorporate filters. Some are stock images from Adobe stock that have polygonal patters. Others are 3D text rendered objects. Others are layers built with a variety of transparency filters and opacity settings. The SVG exports are not usable and we are resorting to .png files until we solve this. I saw a similar post that was unresolved: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/33118615-sizes-and-coordinates-get-distorted-in-svg-export

Isolate Selected Groups Does Not Work in CC 2019
Spent 4 days following a tutorial thinking I was losing my mind.
Then, it dawned on me I downloaded CC 2019 four days ago.
Downloaded CC2017 and the operation works as advertised.
Used especially for cartooning…
Goes like this:
1. Select all inked artwork>Object>Expand Appearances>Merge.
Create and color a rectangle covering artwork.
Select All>Merge
Then>>>>>Right Click<<<< and click "Select Isolate Selected Groups”
This will put editable color with all closed line work.The enclosed pic is where things go wrong in 2019
Once Isolate Selected groups is clicked you should be able to delete the outside green in isolation mode…4 votesPlease post a test file
