File that exports in CS6 does not in CC
Using Adobe CC (tried all versions to date) I cannot export a .ai file to a CMYK tiff at 600 dpi. I receive the following error "The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available."
The exact same file is exporting in CS6 without issue (CMYK tiff@600dpi).
Computer has 32GB RAM of which approximately 12GB are free at the time of the error.
Illustrator is a fresh install on a new computer (Win 10 Pro). Scratch disk set to secondary drive, no other additions or changes to Adobe.
Process on CC:

Illustrator File opens to Work/Learn Screen
I have Illustrator CC and after the most recent update, almost every time I open a file in Illustrator after turning on my computer, it opens the file but the Work/Learn screen is still up.
I can see my file's layers in the layers panel in the bottom right corner but the screen doesn't show it. I can click around and it's saying I'm selecting things but I can't get the Work/Learn screen off so I have to restart Illustrator over and over again until I can get it to work.

Bounding box does not rotate correctly with certain elements
If you take two lines and make an X shape and group it, when rotating this shape (say 30%), the bounding box resets to straight up and down (as opposed to rotating with the X shape) so any further scaling of this shape will be off. In this case, the X will become asymmetrical with any further scaling. This is a new bug as previously versions of Illustrator kept the bounding box oriented as it was originally.
This is on a Mac with the latest Illustrator CC.

Text alignment of text on path changes in SVG on export, but not in other file types
Adobe Illustrator 25.0.1 on macOS Big Sur 11.1, MacBook Pro 2016
I've exported the same graph multiple times - as jpeg, png and svg. In the svg version, some text looses it's alignment - can't send that to my client!

Rotating with Shift held doesn't rotate precisely at 180 degrees
MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021
Apple M1 Pro
16 GB memory
Sonoma 14.1.2Illustrator 28.4.1
Holding down shift while rotating an object "180deg" doesn't actually rotate it 180deg. It's maybe 179deg, which is a major problem.

AiRobin hogging huge amounts of RAM (between 12GB and 16 GB) and at times slows the machine down.
I have turned off "background save / export" which is apparently the purpose of AiRobin. Nonetheless, it has continued to run for the couple of months since I turned those off. Today I had InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator open momentarily; I try to avoid that, but usually it's fine for 5 or 10 minutes. This time it wasn't, and I could literally do nothing (even move the mouse for the most part) for close to 15 minutes. I was finally able to pull up Activity Monitor and I ended the process for AiRobin. Immediately things improved. But sure enough,…

Alignment Tool is Off
I'm using the alignment tool to center a logo onto it's artboard. Both the logo and the artboard are 500px by 500px, but when I use the align tool the logo is off by a couple px. It's barely noticeable until I export to png, then I can see that the circle is cut off slightly.
Any help?

Text cursor on Mac with Retina Display incredibly thin
The text cursor is extremely thin on a Mac with Retina-Display. In an empty text box the cursor is nearly invisible, having the same width as the frame of the box. On a regular display, the cursor has a much better visibility. You should auto-detect the screen resolution and choose an appropriate width for the cursor or you should let the user choose a size in the preferences.

Vector fill shifting when exporting
I created a fill using vector lines that looks like a quilted look. I arranged the fill in the object to be centered. However, when I either open the AI. file in acrobat or export as png or jpeg the fill vector lines have shifted and are no longer centered. I have tried grouping the layers and locking the layers. THe only thing that seams to work is rasterizing, which I would rather not do in case I need to edit later. Plus, even when I rasterize in high 300dpi the lines don't look clear.

Images and Shadows Not Rendering Correctly
I am having issues with build 29.8.2.
When I link photos to my artboards and add drop shadows to shapes or objects, the display is not rendering them. It will show them, but if I move or zoom out, sometimes they go away. And if I export my artboards, these issues carry over. The images dont export, there is just a grey circle where that masked image is supposed to be. And shadows from one object to the next are different, just not even there. How can I fix this?3 votes -

AI 26 667 Mac: SVG export with placed images badly broken (Illustrator 26.0 GM Candidate Build 2)
Test files at https://files.svija.love/ai26-667-svg-export.zip
Exporting an Illustrator file with placed images results in an SVG with the images at the wrong Z-index, as well as several copies of the same image.
Steps to reproduce (see test files):
- open test.ai
- save as SVG (see parameters capture)
- open SVG in Safari — red box is behind PNG image when it should be in front
- open SVG in TextEdit — there are three copies of PNG image when there should be one

Repeat on-screen controls work wrong when Bounding Box is off
When bounding box is off, splitter control is rendered, but does not work, and instances control is missing completely.
Having the bounding box turned off does not mean a user does not want to have repeat controls. So they should be A) completely hidden, or B) shown and be completely working.10 votes -
ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定したドキュメントをPDFで書き出したものがオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる
macOS13.6.7/iMac27inch(Intel)
Illustrator ver.28.6再現手順
1. いくつかの図形を重ねて合成モードを乗算に設定したうえでグループ化しグループの抜きのチェックボックスを外す。
2. ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定する。
3. PDF X4で保存する。
4. そのPDFをAcrobatで開く。
5. Illustrator上でのオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる。Actual result
PDFを書き出した状態とIllustrator上での表示が異なる。Expected Result
PDFの表示とIllustrator上での表示が同じになる。Illustrator上でのグループの構造の違いがIllustrator上のレンダリング結果とPDF書き出し結果で相違が生じています。1でのグループの抜きのチェックを外したグループではIllustrator上ではグループ内ので抜き処理を行わず合成モードの処理を行います。これがPDFを書き出した際にグループの抜きと解釈され、全てがノックアウトされた状態でPDFが作成されます。どちらが正しいかという事は難しいのですが、グループに設定されたノックアウトを拒否する設定をPDF書き出し時にも有効にするほうが表現の幅が拡がるように思います。
