Trackpad zooming causing an earthquake on Illustrator CC 2018
Zooming in via the trackpad causes an unexpected earthquake-like glitch. Zooming in via keyboard shortcuts work as expected.
Also, at the end of the video, I show off the full screen bug, which has been present since CC 2017 version after updating to High Sierra. This also happens in probably all other applications (its like this too I believe in Ps and Id) Thought that would've been fixed by now! Thanks.

Zoom to Selection Doesn't Work within Text
When I zoom in on Illustrator CC (21.1.0) it works great, zooming in on the object I have selected. The problem occurs when I have a bit of text within a larger textbox selected. When I zoom in, instead of centering around the object, it zooms in on the center of my screen, often putting the selected type out of sight.
(If I have the textbox itself selected, it's fine. It's just if I'm using the type tool to select and edit type.)

Ctrl+F
Antigamente, o ctrl+F (colar no local) colava a forma no mesmo local independentemente da camada ou artboard. Hoje ele cola apenas na mesma camada na qual foi recortado ou copiado. Isso é muito ruim pois temos que direcionar para a camada desejada manualmente. Acho que isso é um bug visto que a função perde o sentido.

Allow Shift + arrows in an input field to always add 10 (like in Photoshop) instead of rounding up to a 10 first
In illustrator if you change sizes using shift + arrows in the top bar, it rounds up to the nearest 10 and then goes up in 10s. In photoshop it doesn't round up just increases by 10.
I think it would be better to be able to choose which mode to use as sometimes I prefer either depending on what I am doing.

IllustratorSaveOptions in C# .NET is not working anymore as expected
For more than a decade the following Illustrator script has been applied via C# .NET in combination with all existing Illustrator versions (sourcecode):
typelib.IllustratorSaveOptions saveOptions = new typelib.IllustratorSaveOptions();
saveOptions.Compatibility = typelib.AiCompatibility.aiIllustrator8;
saveOptions.FlattenOutput = typelib.AiOutputFlattening.aiPreserveAppearance;
DestDoc.SaveAs(sPath, saveOptions);All over the internet we see a lot of people using the same code above (applying the exact same idea) also in other programming languages.
Following test has been done with Illustrator versions CS, CS2, CS3, CS5, CS6, etc. on the latest Windows 10 operating system and VS2012: draw 2 intersecting rectangles: above yellow, the other red. A transparency Difference has been set on the yellow rectangle.
AI version 8.0 output results via scripted AI 8.0 output:
using the source code above, in versions up to and CS5, three rectangles are outputted (transparency is being flattened), but later versions (CS6 up to and the latest Creative Cloud Illustrator version) outputs only two rectangles (do not flatten but remove the transparency as if option aiPreservePaths instead of aiPreserveAppearance is active).Everything is working well in case the save to AI format 8.0 is done manually from within the Illustrator programs.
What has been changed that has broken this functionality? Do we have to add something to the code mentioned above, or, has a bug been introduced in Illustrator from version CS5 to CS6 which is still present up to and today? We have no idea why this is not working anymore. Please look into it because this piece of functionality is quite important for our customers.

Can only open 1 Ai file at a time
Can only open one Ai file at a time. If current Ai file open is open in Illustrator and you try to open another file concurrently through all means, it will not open. The only way around this is to open each file in a different version of Illustrator, or completely close Ai to open the new file.

Repeat scale
- Scale an object NON UNIFORMLY using Scale tool.
- Select new object.
- Option-click to choose point of scaling and bring up dialog box.
- The previous NON-UNIFORM scale percentages are displayed, but UNIFORM is highlighted. Clicking the radio button next to NON-UNIFORM simply applies the UNIFORM value to the NON-UNIFORM values.

Illustrator will not start. Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly during the previous launch....Run Diagnostics or Launch Ilustrator
Illustrator was working fine for the last year on this computer and yesterday decided it did not want to start anymore. All other adobe products open just fine, except illustrator. I've been searching for the last hour for answers and nothing. What gives adobe.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, adobe cc cleaner, deleted prefs, and still keeps crashing.
Here's what happens:
1. Click on launch Illustor from Creative Cloud app. The Creative cloud app blinks for a second as if its trying to open illustrator but nothing.
2. Click on Launch again. Popup - Adobe Illustrator quit unexpectedly....Click Run Diagnostics or Launch Illustrator.
3. I've tried both. Same result, get a pop up saying Adobe illustrator CC 2017 has stopped working.Nothing works. Very frustrating!
Here is the error from Visual Studio when hitting the debug button:

Snap to Point causes jumping with long Guides
I'm using very long guides to create a custom angled grid, and use Snap to Point to snap paths to intersections of those guides. However, sometimes the Snap to Point causes "jumping", i.e. it tries to snap to the intersection, but when it does, it scrolls the document a tad upwards, and hence goes immediately out of snap. Sometimes it even causes jumps of hundreds of millimeters. It doesn't always happens, but only with some guides intersecting in some points. I cannot really say what actually makes it happen.
I created a test file to where I isolated only three objects, the path with three vertices and two long guides intersecting. when trying to move the middle vertex to the guide intersection, it always jumps. It also happens if I paste them to a new document. It also happens even if I move the guides anywhere on the document.
It only happens with guides, not when I release them back to paths. But, if I release and re-make guides, the problem still persists.
However, strangely enough, if I take the diagonal guide and cut & paste (Paste in Place) it back to the same document, the problem goes away. This happens if I make the cut & repaste with either guides or guides released to paths and remade to guides.
The guides were originally created en masse with just two lines and duplicated with Blend (thousands of lines), and then duplicated in different angles. I'm not sure if that affects this problem.
(I'd just use paths to help alignment, but with thousands of lines the guides seem to burden the rendering much less.)
