Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1
Hello,
I'm trying to copy the name of my working file and paste it into the name of the folder I just created (with the help of the keyboard shortcut), but it doesn't paste the name. I have to paste the name with the help of right click of the mouse. Can you fix this situation?

Trim View gets disabled when switching artboards with Pixel Preview on
In a document with multiple artboards and bled artwork.
In Pixel Preview Mode, Turn on Trim View. Select a Different Artboard. Trim View Turns Off.With no shortcut for Trim View this means you have to go back to the menu for every artboard you click. If you're working with 15+ artboards this process becomes tedious.

Direct selection tool appears to move whole object until mouse release
When part of an object is selected using the direct selection tool (selection tool and holding 'V' key down) the whole object appears to move to the new position until the mouse is released, at which point all the unselected points snap back to their original position. I'm assuming this is a bug and not intended?

Cmd + Tab app switching forcibly keeps Illustrator in focus
When Illustrator (at full-screen mode) is in focus, and when executing the quick-app-switching Mac shortcut (cmd+tab) to the previous app, Illustrator always remains in focus. Even though the OS thinks the new app has focus — it will, for instance, invisibly receive keyboard inputs — Illustrator's UI nevertheless retains complete hold over the display, save for the OS toolbar. Chrome, Finder, even something as simple as Calculator; none of them show up. I've had to downgrade to Illustrator v.25 just to get work done.

Clipping Mask gets rendered wrong
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
Just recently install the macOS Monterey
Using the newest version of Illustrator 2022The clipping mask doesn't work after I zoom in or zoom out.
It shows what is inside the clipping mask with different shapes randomly every time just like the images below. I have to move around the image to get the original shape of the clipping mask.It works quite well in Illustrator 2018 actually.
But the Illustrator 2018 version seems can not be downloaded anymore.I think people should be allowed to download the older version which they found most stable and familiar. Otherwise, we can only work with errors while waiting for them to be fixed.
I hope it will be taken into the consideration, thanks.

Editing pattern or symbol changes selected layer
Upon exiting edit mode for symbols or patterns the selected layer will change to the top-most layer. It should remember the selected layer prior to entering edit mode and maintain that.

Text updates only appear after moving the text box
Editing text in a text box still shows the old text/does not show the update. Only after moving the text object does it update. New text shows on hover/while editing, but it is overlaid onto the old text. Seems like the graphics aren't refreshing as they should.

'Export as' SVG No Longer Includes Width/Height on Embedded Images
When exporting an AI file with an embedded PNG screenshot (added via File > Place) as an SVG, the <image> tag in the exported SVG file is no longer being created with "width" and "height" attributes.
This creates an error when trying to use the exported SVG in XMLmind (which states that there is no width attribute on the <image> tag), and I imagine in other contexts as well.
We're on an enterprise cloud subscription of Illustrator, so at any given time we're working with the most up-to-date version. In a similar file I exported to SVG back in January 2021, it worked just fine. If I had to guess, the issue popped up at some point in the past 6 months. I've attached screenshots of the export options I've used for a few years now, as well as a sample of the exported SVG output from back in January 2021 (the top code sample) and just the other day (the bottom code sample).
Similar to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/44963893-svg-code-export-issues, downgrading to version 26.0.3 once again exports these same SVGs with the width/height attributes included in the embedded <image> tags.

No "Smallest File Size" option (and/or others) in dropdown menu when saving PDF
My only options for saving a PDF are "Custom" and "Illustrator Default" I've lost "Smallest File Size" and "Press Quality" options.
I need to save small PDF versions in order to send in emails ALL day, so this is a big issue for me.
OS Monterey 12.3, and Beta version of Ai that's newer than Ai 2022...
BECAUSE Ai 2022 won't let me save ANY files to my computer (I've checked to make sure it had permission.) It's a HUGE problem, that basically makes my job impossible to do.2 votes -
Copying and Constraining using keyboard shortcuts (Opt/Shift) is causing error sound
This version of Illustrator (26.1) on MacOS Monterey 12.3 is sporadically having problems with taking an object and using keyboard shortcuts to copy/constrain (option/shift). At seemingly random times when trying to copy an object with option held down or option/shift held down and dragging the object with the mouse, I am getting the error noise and then a rejection of what I was trying to do. It happens frequently throughout my workflow, but I'm not sure exactly what is triggering it. Sometimes I get the error noise when simply dragging an object around the artboard, but again seems totally random.

Illustrator changing color values every time I reopen program v 26.0.2
I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro and I'm using illustrator from the cloud version 26.0.2 on Mac Monterey v 12.1. Every time I close out a file and reopen it the hex colors are changed. I have never touched the setting on my colors. I've attached an example below. You can see that when I was previously working in the file I listed the hex code, but now when I open it it is different. Please help. This is making my branding impossible and I'm turning in projects incorrectly as a result.

テキストをアピアランス分割+アウトラインした際、線の太さが変わる
オペレーティングシステムおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン
macOS Catalina 15.7
Illustrator 2022（26.0.3）問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
1 テキストに対し、アピアランスパネルで「線」を追加。
2 線に任意の太さと色を設定。
3 アピアランスパネルで パスの変形→変形→拡大・縮小を任意の数値に設定。
4 テキストを選択し、オブジェクト→アピアランスを分割
5 テキストを再度選択し、書式→アウトラインを作成 を実行。想定していた結果
見た目そのままの状態でアウトライン文字になる実際の結果
アウトライン文字になるが、線の太さが変わる文字のアウトラインを先に実行すると別のアピアランスが作用して違う見た目になってしまうため、現状「拡大・縮小をしない」しか回避手段がありません。
Illustrator バージョン26.1でも同じ結果になります。よろしくお願いします。
