CS 3 begins launching, but never posts menu bar in High Sierra
Having gone through the download process on the assumption that the license was the problem, I find that the newly installed AI CS3 still has the symptom it had before. That is it seems to start, but never displays the menu bar. I can also start it by double-clicking a .ai file. The graphic displays, but no menu bar or other windows.
1 voteCS3 is not supported on High Sierra.

Creative Cloud has potential ports leak (Activity Monitor)
When starting Creative Cloud, and Viewing Activity Monitor in macOS the ports show an normal average number around 600. Yet the Creative Cloud ports don't stop there every 15 seconds they increase by 1-3 on avg. I have had them reach 10,000 and that when it starts causing problems with my MacBook performance. if I let it would just keep climbing endlessly. this need to be addressed asap.
1 voteThank you for reporting this issue. We have notified the concerned team about it. since this issue is not about Illustrator I am closing the bug.

No touch workspace
In Illustrator CC 2015 (and 2017 & 2018) the Touch Workspace is missing.
The graphic tablet works correctly (pressure, dynamics) but the Touch Workspace is missing.
All the relevant tips I've found in Internet was followed, with no result.
There's a manual way to enable the touch workspace.Ironically, the touch workspace was present in Illustrator BEFORE I bought the graphic tablet.
System:
Mac Mini late 2012, using Boot Camp, Windows 10 (latest), 16GB RAM, Samsung SSD Evo850
Graphic tablet: Huion DWH69 (latest drivers)1 votePlease refer to our system requirement for a supported configuration. We do not support/test touch workspace on boot camp and an external tablet.

Color picker scrolling
Color picker scrolling bug.
1. Verson 22.0.1
2. Open color picker, select channel (S/H/B/R/G/B), scroll up/down using mouse wheel.
3. The values should change by mouse wheel.
4. The R/G/B channels are fine. In Hue, scrolling up is MUCH slower (insensitive) than scrolling down. In Saturation/brightness, most time I can't scroll up. Rarely I can do a 1% scrolling up. Scrolling down is fine.1 voteI am closing the ticket due to lack of response.

Unecessary trapping bug
Whenever I send that was made in CC2018 to our Rip there is trapping added to it. This has never happened for the many years I have been using illustrator. This art is butt up without any stroke and should not trap at all. I thought it was our rip software but I tried a different brand rip at another shop and the problem remains. The problem disappears when I disable overprint but I need to use that for base plates and die lines. I am on Illustrator CC 22.0.0
1 voteTrapping can happen if there are two objects with just fill color and if they overlap each other with overprint attribute set then the end result is trapping. The objects in the file you provided overlaps each other to the tune of 0.2 pt with the top object having overprint attribute set.

[Bug] Area text with Auto-size and stroke applied
1:
Version: CC18 (22.0.0) 64bit Windows 72:
a) Draw out area text box using type tool and type a few words
b) Double click to convert to auto-size (or set check mark in Area Type Options)

save as OR save a copy using artboards does not save separate artboard files at all.
Only export works as expected. But if you want to save each artboard as PDF it does not.

typing fi or fl delivers an empty or filled arrow rather than the letters
probably a user error but above my pay grade

Illustrator CS6 gives me a error-message every time I press a key or button on the mouse since I updated to Mac 10.12.6.
Is there a free update available to solve the problem?1 voteCS6 is not supported on Mac 10.12. We shipped CS6 with support for 10.6 and 10.7 we then eventually updated it to make it compatible for 10.8 and 10.9. You will have to use one of those operating system or upgrade to the latest Creative Cloud.

Losing Days on the Free Trial
I was opening Adobe Illustrator on a free trial. When I opened it, I lost a day of my free trial! I feel as I was cheated of an extra day to use Illustrator. I think to improve free trials, that you shouldn't lose any days when you do not use the program. I expected 7 days of my free trial but in the end only got to use 2 days! That is completely absurd! Even when I tried the free trial for Photoshop the same happened.
This is unfortunate because I know that Illustrator is one of those top…
