The white-filled circle arrowhead has some very strange geometry.
The white-filled circle arrowhead in Support Files/Resources/en_us/Arrowheads.ai has two doubled points in the black circle. This results in unexpected imagery when a path is given this arrowhead, expanded, and has further effects applied.
Screenshots: outline view, and outline view with half of each point pair selected and moved down 1pt.
This was discovered in 25.3.1 but I bet it's been lurking there long enough that it predates your current source control tree. :)

Selected UI field not readable
The existing contents of all UI fields go blank/white when they are double/triple clicked to manually enter a value.
I would expect the existing value to be highlighted/selected in grey so that they're legible.
Examples attached:
1. Before
2. After double-clicking the "12 pt" value2 votes -
Save document popup does not correspond to the current document
When closing a document that is not the current working document, the save dialog pops up but the only the currently active document is shown making it difficult to see which document the save dialog refers to. This is handled correctly in Photoshop but not Illustrator
Repro:
Open Illustrator
Create two new documents
With the type tool write on the empty artboard of the first untitled doc "Important work"
Click on the document tab for the second untitled document and with the type tool write on the empty artboard "Useless garbage"
While viewing the 'Useless garbage' doc, click on the…

BUG: Save As EPS using Artboards changes layer visibility
I have an AI file with two artboards which I. exported into two separate EPS files, however the layer visibility was changed randomly and did not match the current layout. Note, preview "tiff" image in Finder was correct.
Upon opening the file, I had to go through and turn on / off the appropriate layers to bring it back to the current state. Unlocking all layers and attempting to do this again did not change the results.
Must have been introduced in the most recent update as this has previously worked as expected.

Extremely slow to drag items, zoom in and out shows glitches
Mac OS Catalina, ver. 10.15.7
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MBIllustrator: 25.2.3
Illustrator is very slow at times and shows the rainbow wheel when I'm trying to move objects (even simple ones) around the artboard.
Also when zooming in and out the artwork becomes glitched (shows some fragments duplicated or parts of the artwork disappear). Restarting the program temporarily fixes the issue.2 votes -
Variable Fonts style order on Character pallete
When a variable font has an instance (that is not the first master) set as the default, it shows on top of the list and not in its right place. It should not move to the top of the list.

Screen goes white as soon as I draw something
As soon as I open an Illustrator document and draw or touch an object, the screen goes white. I switch between gpu and cpu rendering, nothing changes.
M1 MBP, newest os and illustrator version, not the beta or pre version, rosetta 2 mode.
2 votesThe team is aware of a similar looking issue, where this is due to Anchor Point Size preference set to Max value. Please check if changing it from Max to any other value resolves this and comment back.
The investigation continues to get the root cause of this preference corruption.

Toolbars missing / Workspace missing
I logged in today and my workspace is selected, but none of the tools are visible. I have to reopen them and arrange them all over again. But then it doesn't allow me to resave a workspace. If this isn't a bug, I'm going to need to know why this is happening.

Wacom tablet pen problem
The buttons on the Wacom tablet pen has been set to scroll up/down, but it doesn't work in illustrator. When pressing the button, a hand sign appears and vanishes instantly. The buttons work fine in other adobe and non-adobe apps. I have tried reinstalling the Wacom drivers and also disabled and enabled the wacom device on preferences but nothing seems to work.

PEN TOOL IS BROKEN
Option/alt+click on anchor doesn't work. It used to make anchor points to curve OR corner. It even says "Pen: Make Corner" at the bottom of the window in the "current tool" field, but actually it just creates NEW PATH.
And the Anchor point tool icon changes to "Pen tool - start path" icon on hover.So you've actually managed to broke the most essential feature of Illustrator - which is to draw and modify vectors. Awesome job!
It would be actually rather funny if it wasn't COSTING ME MONEY THE WHOLE TIME FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIX IT!

Inconsistent color
With the new CC update, I can't calibrate colour across apps using Color Settings in Bridge. This started happening often on the previous release, but I was able to fix it by resetting this in Bridge. Now, it doesn't work. See attached – same Pantone colour (50% of Pantone Bridge 7500) in InDesign and Illustrator. The InDesign is accurate; Illustrator is not. Nothing I do seems to help. I may revert to older Bridge and Photoshop until you sort this out.

Artwork from CC Libraries doesn't keep its name when placed into other apps
It used to be that when you added AI artwork into a CC library and gave it a name there, it kept its name when the artwork was placed into for example InDesign document. All my libraries have artwork with names, but when I place any of them into InDesign it simply shows up as "Artwork 1.ai" in Links. However, this doesn't seem to be buggy for all artwork in the CC libraries, just new ones I created in the last few days.

Save for WEB makes main window unaccessible
Open Save for WEB => change the Image Size => hit Enter. Sometimes the next window popups invisible and I have no access to it. Thus it is impossible to close the Save dialog and get back to the artwork. Anywhere I click I only hear the ding sound (meaning like I have to confirm or cancel something first).
Save for Web window is inaccessible with mouse too: I cant resize it or interact with any of its UI elements. I can move it tho.But I can jump elements with the Tab button. With Tab, if I hit Enter…
