I have tried to access Illustrator Help... several times now via the Help Menu option of the same name as well as the F1 key, and Safari yielded the following "Page Not Found" error message, saying "The page you are trying to access was not found. Please check your URL for typos and try again."
This is the first time I have seen this bug, which is now repeatable and reliable..

Sign In / Sign Out -- Account info not saved
Every time I turn off my computer and restart computer, I am somehow signed out of CC. So, every time I launch any program, in CC, I am asked to sign into my account every time. It will not remember me. This is very annoying.

performance lag
panning around canvas is very slow, not fast as it should be.
Viewing file in outline line mode and then switching back seems to fix until a new document is opened and then software slows down again.
Hopefully will be fixed with an update.1 vote -

Illustrator cc 2018 Quits
Illustrator cc 2018 quits unexpectedly multiple times when i try to use it. I tried to reset it, but no luck. I am wondering if there is a bug or something in the program that stops me from using it.

transform rotate not working as it should
Draw a vertical line.
Choose Object > Rotate
Change the degrees and click Copy.
The original has now rotated the chosen amount and made a copy at the same time.
The original vertical line should still be there, and a new one (the copy) should be at an angle. Not both rotated.

Moving paths very slow if not dragged at the center
Ex: Create a circle
click at the center of the circle with a selection tool and drag. The path moves fast as expected. But if click elsewhere on the circle and drag, the path moves very slowly.

Adobe Sketch inaccurate. No Product against which to report
Please See forum post entitled “Adobe sketch accuracy questioned”
On iPad Air, iOS 12.4, Sketch 4.7.1 drawing occurs displaced from centre of stylus, toward to of device.
Gave up using Sketch in Sep 2017 as this was a show stopper for me. I don’t understand how anybody can use it like this. It is such a fundamental issue that I cannot believe it has not been addressed. Others in the forum post discussion agreed it was a bug and the question seems to have been answered - it is a bug.
Came back to look at Sketch again 2 years…

Simplify preview problem
When I choose Path > Simplify… and have the preview button checked, the simplification happens as many times as I adjust the percentage. ie it will simply to 99% and the 97% of 99%.
Whether I click OK or Cancel, all of the actions have been performed and I have to press undo until it is back to normal.
This problem arrived at the same time as the scale/rotate/reflect etc preview issue (which have now been fixed thank god).1 voteHi,

Show Character Alternates
"Show Character Alternates" checkbox under the Type preference pane is not clickable. While trying to disable the annoying Glyph popup window I discovered that I cannot change this preference setting. I was able to change the setting by manually directly editing Illustrators preference file manually which reflects the change when relaunching the program, however it can not be changed through the UI.

Some of AI file paths disappear when exporting to PNG or JPG
A simple AI file containing the logo and text (all outlined) is saved fine as AI or PDF, but if I try to export it to PNG or JPG, some of the paths contained within the image disappear and are not rendered in the resulting raster file. I am attaching the master AI file, and the rendered PNG file (created by going to File > Export As > PNG). As you will see, the rendered PNG file is missing the ALFRA name within the square white shape. FYI, I sent the file over to a friend of mine and he…

Why did you add a stroke to the Layer Thumbnail of empty layers?
In previous versions of Illustrator, if you deleted all the content of a layer or sublayer, you could immediately see that it was empty because its thumbnail in the Layers palette lost its stroke. Now all layer thumbnails have a border regardless. This was a very useful feature, and I can't imagine why it would deliberately be removed. Can you please add it back?

Guides with an angle won't move when zoomed in 300% or more (Illustrator CC 23.0.3)
I hope I chose the right category.
Illustrator will not allow me to move smart guides that have any angle to them when Im zoomed in to 300% or more. This is extremely "I about to break my keyboard" frustrating. This seems to be an on going issue that is "patched" but re-emerges with every other update!1 vote -
Double Tool Bars
My current build of Adobe Illustrator is displaying two toolbars, side by side, one minimized and one expanded. I'm assuming this is a bug. I reset the essentials tool bar and re-installed illustrator but the problem persists. See the left side of the attached screenshot
1 voteThere are multiple ways to resolve this
1. Reset workspace Essentials
2. Dragout the extra toolbar from dock and then close it
3. Reset preference (not recommended unless necessary)

Prefix in graphs
Using a prefix for the axis in a graph works fine, but only with positive numbers. Negative numbers soon get into trouble however. $-50 is not helpful at all.
