Rendering Issue with Knock Out Group beyond 200% zoom out
1 background layer, 1 top layer containing 1 text and 1 rectangle grouped together and set as knock out group. A fill is added to the text with opacity 0%, the initial fill is deleted.
Until I zoom in to 200%, the text is not rendered. Starting from 200% zoom, the text is correctly knocked out from the rectangle.
Export works as expected.1 vote -

Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Etc. make the files extremely bloated
Every time I create a drop shadow or an outer glow now, the thing doesn't render properly on screen (see screenshot), but worst of all that simple addition adds about 500MB to my file size. What's going on?
M1 MacPro Sonoma
Ai version 29.3 - though same thing happens with 28, 27 and 26.I've also included a simple file - add a drop shadow with about 15px size and save (without compression) and watch the file increase, Also see rendering errors.

EXPORT AS JPEG (at least) 150 dpi's option is not working properly
PLEASE CHECK - it says 150 dpi's but the file is less. If I do the same in a previous version of illustrator, it is accepted.

Let users select their own brush strokes rather than enforcing inappropriate and slow ones on them
What if Illustrator didn't default to inappropriate brush strokes every time I attempted to use their brush? Often, I find myself working on designs that need clean vector outlines rather than a ragged brush stroke effect. Having to switch back from the ragged brush stroke every time is time-consuming and slows the software. What if we gave users the freedom to select the brush of their choice?

Two finger mac trackpad zooming instead of panning randomly
When panning with two fingers trackpad on mac, it sometimes zooms in randomly instead of panning. Not sure what the issue is because it does not happen in other apps with trackpad pan/zoom feature.

Curvature Tool hotkey Shift+` (shown as Shift+~) doesn’t work with Russian keyboard input
Ai team believes everyone uses English it feels like.
Backtick is reported to fail to work often, but here it’s even more convoluted.
In Russian, the key that houses backtick (`) and the tilde (~, with Shift held) types Cyrillic 'ё' and its capital from 'Ё' respectively.If I map Curvature Tool to just backtick — it works.
But with Shift added, like Ai offers by default — nope.There is a larger request on a similar topic, Some shortcuts don't work while using non-English keyboard / language layout — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44393445 — but perhaps the team needs to solve it…

Changing the size of a graphic will not remain stable and does not maintain it's location point.
I have a graphic that uses the top-left as the alignment reference point. It is on an artboard that is positioned in whole numbers (no decimals).
I want it to be at X: 20px and Y: 20px
I want it to be W: 700px or Y: 700px (either one not both)
I do not want the position of X or Y to change from 20px.
I want to maintain whole numbersWhat happens instead:
When I resize the graphic it will not maintain a whole number and it changes the position/location of my reference point. I have snap to pixel…1 vote -
Selection tool works like the Direct Selection Tool
I cannot use the Selection Tool because it works like the Direct Selection Tool, therefor I cannot scale or move any objects on my artboards.
I have tried the workaround to change settings in preferences, but the problem still persists.
I have a Windows Desktop:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
32GB DDR4 RAM
Radeon RX550/550 Series

Illustrator performance, conflict with windows 11 desktop manager process
I was trying to rotate an image within illustrator and the performance was unusable. Trying to select then rotate was slow and unresponsive. Made no sense as my workstation has plenty of resources. 24core/512GBram/RTX 5000 ada. I did a quick google search and found a redit post suggesting exiting illustrator, find dwm.exe, end the process (explorer crashes then reloads, so does dwm.exe), restart illustrator. After performing these steps, illustrator was working like it should, responsive and useable.
Should not have to go through this process just to get illustrator to work correctly. Need to investigate with MS what is happening…

Cursor Moving on its own After Creating Clipping Mask
Often after I create a clipping mask the cursor will, on its own, slowly begin moving across the screen. I can see it flickering with each step. If I hit escape it will stop the cursor and return to normal. M1 iMac Sequoia 15.3, Illustrator 22.9.1.
This problem has happened to me in the past in previous versions, I can't recreate it when I undo and remake the clipping mask.
