Unable to set Illustrator 2022 as default app
When setting the default app for Illustrator files, 2022 version doesn't appear as an option. Files always open in 2021. When using Windows Default Apps setting, Illustrator 2022 doesn't appear as an option. This problem doesn't occur with other 2022 Adobe apps such as InDesign and Photoshop.

Auto Spell Check marks capitalization mistakes when type is set to ALL CAPS.
With auto spell check enabled, capitalization is still marked if the type is set to "ALL CAPS" in the the character panel's options. when using all caps, the capitalization of the underlying text should not matter, only what is displayed which is all-caps.

Match maximum allowable PDF export dimensions to maximum artboard dimensions
When I try to save my artboard as a PDF I get this error: "The dimensions of this page are out-of-range". After researching, I found that the artboard needs to be under 200" to export as a PDF. Any way to change this limitation to 227" to match the maximum artboard size of illustrator so we don't get this error?

It's 2022. Can we get some glaring, long standing bugs fixed please?
There are long standing user requests for all of these:
'Export for Screens' still adds extra pixels on exports unless the artboards are placed to exact pixels
Artboards can't be moved to snap to exact pixels, meaning if you move artboards you probably have to manually remove any decimal places in the artboard position, or else Illustrator will add extra pixels on export...
Smart Guides show up when creating or moving artboards, but don't actually work because creating or moving Artboards doesn't snap
Artboard names will randomly revert back to old names
In the Export for Screens dialog box, Artboard names sometimes show older versions of the artboard name.
Smart Guides are still a mess. Items snap to the wrong objects, there's no clear definition of what's being snapped to.
We STILL don't have 'Reveal in Explorer/Finder' in the links panel, despite this being under review since 2017 and an obvious feature for Illustrator
The 'Export for Screens' panel doesn't allow you to change compression settings or create custom presets

Illustrator auto-close when opening an .ai file
It closes automatically when I open an .AI file, whether I double-click the file or open it from the illustrator menu.
I already reinstalled illustrator and the problem continues.

Selecting text works poorly
According to the screenshot, when I press the left mouse button in the place represented by the red triangle, the above text is selected. This place is completely beyond the scope of the word "Nature".

Blending paths with brushes and width profiles works wrong.
Create two lines.
Apply art or pattern brushes to both of them.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.Scatter, calligraphic, and bristle brushes won't let you edit the width profile. I did however test with two calligraphic brush paths with different pressure curves and that was ignored for the intermediary paths. Please test this with bristle and scatter brushes as well.
(this is essentially a reopening of https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41634754-blending-paths-with-width-profiles-works-wrong with a feature that was missed when originally implementing it, as such I just copied and edited Egor's description :) )

Undo after deleting a line created with the Pen tool freezes Illustrator
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise
AI Version: 25.4.1,
Bug replicated with three different computers and instances of Illustrator, all same OS, same AI version, same freeze.I had a bunch more steps when I ran across this problem, but I was able to replicate it with much fewer steps like so:
With the pen tool, draw a couple vertices.
Delete the line you're making from the table of contents.
Click on the canvas anywhere; the line reappears with a new vertex which you just made.
Undo the vertex you just made (the first time I did it, it undid the pen without a hitch, every time I've tried to recreate it with an otherwise blank canvas it gives a "can't finish previewing ID:-50" error.)
If you hit undo again, Illustrator becomes unresponsive.
I guess it's trying to undelete the line which is already there.
It's easy to avoid now that I know what I did, but still.Expected result: undo to get rid of the line that reappeared (or, didn't expect the line to reappear in the first place).
Actual result: Undo makes Illustrator become unresponsive.OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

Plugin issues detected
Some (not all) plugins do not work in Illustrator version 26.3.1. But they work fine in 26.2.1, also they work in all previous versions 26... and 25...
I tried to fix it, followed the advice "Repair Visual C++ DLL (Windows)", but it did not help https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/plugin-missing-issue.html?trackingid=TG8SLGS2&mv=in-product&mv2=aiWindows 10 Pro 21H2

Expanding a path with a gradient doesn't expand, just creates a group with the same path
I want to expand a gradient applied to a path so that I have bands of colour as vectors in place of the gradient.
I have been using this tool in this way successfully but this week there seems to be a bug: it works until it doesn't and then doesn't work at all.
If I quit Illustrator and reopen everything it might work again, but with some paths it doesn't work at all. Please see my screenshots.

Swatch & Tool Names don't appear when I pause/hover the cursor over them.
MacOs Monterey 12.0.1
Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1When you hover over a swatch or tool & leave the cursor there for a second, the name of the swatch/tool always showed along with keyboard shortcuts for many of the tools.
I was searching the Pantone colors & two colors came up. Rather than just one quick step, I had to do several.
What should happen:
I hover the cursor over the colors for a second to see which was which. Then I pick the one I was looking for.What happens now:
I hover the cursor over the colors & nothing shows up. I had to click on the swatch, then open the color window & see which one it is.For someone who uses Illustrator most of the day every day for work, this is really annoying & messes up my workflow. I'm also trying to explore & get used to the new version of Illustrator. Little stuff like this creates soooooooo much frustration.

Paragraph Style -> Library Bug (Stroke Weight Lost)
If you create a paragraph style with a thin outline (e.g. 0.25) different from the fill color, and then add that style to the library, the library does not record the weight assigned to the stroke (e.g. 0.25). See images. Note that "Annotations Red", and "Annotations Red Lib" are the same style, I renamed it to prevent an overwrite. As you can see, though the fill and outline colors are correct, the stroke weight resets to default.
Also your system doesn't allow me to upload screen shots (.jpeg). Not sure what that's about. Here's a link to the my screencaps:

Delays and Sluggishness
For the 30+ years I've been using Adobe Illustrator, I don't think I have every really been bothered by the app or an update until last year. Now when you open AI, make a new file, or try to drag content around on a canvas or move the page around using the hand tool, the app is very lethargic and jerky. It is as if it is validating all actions by an online verification before any action is done. This really makes using the app frustratingly slow.

placing (linking) JPGs in illustrator makes files incredibly slow to work with
Often I create layouts that require linking JPG in my doc. Whenever there are multiple JPGs in my doc, the doc becomes very slow. I do not notice the same performance issue if the linked files are TIFs. This has been an issue for multiple versions of Illustrator.
