Bug: Object Coordinates Not Aligning with Page
When trying to align two groups of objects, the coordinates in relation to the actual position on the page do not match the coordinates in the Y axis value box. (see attached images)
The top edge of the object is -108", the middle is 5.5" (actual is ~3.5") and the bottom edge is 119" on an 8.5x11" layout.
Details:
* It happens when the group of objects on the layer is selected
* Objects did not indicate any parts outside of it's rectangle selection area that would throw off the measurements (triple checked)
* A stripped down file where the same errors occur is attached.Illustrator Version: 22.0.1 64-bit Windows 10

Bizarre Issues with Fonts and Rendering; Creative Cloud

Illustrator 2018 CC 22.0.1
Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6
Suitcase Fusion 19.0.4 (6333)iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
3.2 Ghz Intel Core i5
24GB DDR3I’m not sure when this started - possibly when the recent update for Creative Cloud occurred. One day I was unable to take a screenshot without it looking distorted and something strange happened with my screen in the top navigation bar - again all distorted. I had to restart.
Recently I couldn’t sign into Creative Cloud as it was greyed out. Had to restart.
Now with fonts and rendering, in the video in this sample file:
- I select two separate text boxes using Arial, and reduce the size. I’m unable to select the resized text boxes. I can select if I click and drag over them, but not if I clicked directly on them, however I’m still unable to move them. The Undo doesn’t work properly.I select two separate text boxes using Neris, and enlarge the size. I’m unable to select the resized text boxes. I can select if I click and drag over them, but not if I clicked directly on them, however I’m still unable to move them. The Undo doesn’t work properly.
Rendering onscreen starts to do weird things.I select one separate text box to change from Arial italic to Times New Roman. For some odd reason, the size changes from 15.54pt to 12pt. The Undo doesn’t work properly.
I select two separate text boxes to change from Arial italic to Times New Roman. Again, the size changes from 15.54pt to 12pt. The Undo doesn’t work properly.
When I get to the end of the Undo, for some reason all text boxes are selected. Some change size, some don’t. I go to Undo, and seems to work.
I select two separate text boxes to change from Times New Roman regular to italic. When I do an Undo, things start disappearing and so on.
It’s just so bizarre. It’s so random but these errors keep occurring. About 3 months ago I changed over from CS5 to CC 2018. Sorry to say, but CC 2018 programs have been so unstable.

New version randomly and continually changing position of endpoints
I have a large map I'm working on that's doing a strange thing ever since AI CC's last update (21.1.0).
After the update, Illustrator seemed to change the "Arrowheads" (circles in the case of this file) position at the end of SOME, but not all, of my lines. As far as I could tell, the unwanted and automatic change was completely random. Worse yet, it seems to be continuing at random, as though AI has developed an AI intended to drive me insane.
Anyone else experiencing this? (In the sample screenshot, the circles at the ends of the lines representing Bronco, Arabian, and Palomino cul-de-sacs were created in Illustrator before the Creative Cloud's last update to stop before they encroached on the streets' labels. Note, however, the myriad cul-de-sacs to the right of these remain as they were intended.)

Pattern Brush Problem with Expand Appearance
I want to paint a topographic card (map) with complex Strokes for the streets and rivers and so on.
After creating different Pattern Brushes i would create a solid line for export to an other program.
After choosing the Stroke with an used Pattern Brush i would "expand appearance" for getting a clean version without strokes.
The Result is a lot of segmented curves and destroyed formes.1 vote -

No fill no stroke rectangle in Illustrator CC 2018 on a PC has an appearance on it and it shouldn't
When you try to make and use a no fill no stroke rectangle (in Illustrator CC 2018 on a PC) and attempt to use it to define a pattern piece or a brush (so you can create an overlap) the rectangle doesn't work! If you select it and, from the Appearance panel flyout menu, Reduce to basic appearance then it works. So, clearly some appearance is on the shape which isn't visible but which is causing it to fail. This happens on both my PCs and one of my student's PCs (they originally drew my attention to this). I can't duplicate the issue on the Mac so I think this might be a PC only issue?

Tiny background pixels in top objecting flickering in and out
In some of my files pixels that are the color of the immediate background of an object will flicker in and out of the object. Zooming in and out changes the regions of the object that are affected, and sometimes it appears as if the object is fine. However, if you then zoom in, the problem resumes.
