Align function not working properly in Illustrator CC 2017
I don't know what category this goes into because I'm not a developer. You could at least provide categories for users instead of for developers. Your program is extremely frustrating to use. It's not designed to be very user friendly. I wish Macromedia Freehand were still around, because I would be using it instead of Illustrator. I have an alignment error that happens when I select all and then use the "align to horizontal center" and "align to vertical center". I have complained about this before and no one replied to it. Since I am paying monthly for access to this "supposed high level" program, it would be nice if it actually worked the way it's supposed to. You charge people access fees when you still don't have the program perfected. We should be charging you for helping you fix it instead.

Custom Views, unlocking layers
"Custom Views unlocking layers"
Hi, I found something that I believe that wasn't supposed to work that way. I made a "Process" describing what's happening, but my point here is that I didn't expect the Views Feature to unlock layers, I thought it was only supposed to change the Zoom and view location.
Process:
1- Create a New view with everything unlocked
2- Lock some Layers.
3- Activate your view.Result: Everything gets unlocked

Export As SVG with 0 decimals fails in handling closed bezier curves
When using “Export for Screens…” or “Export As…” for exporting an SVG and setting the number of decimals to 0, the exporter succeeds in encoding primitives like rects, ellipses, circles and polygons, using only integers for their coordinates – but when your artwork contains any closed bezier curves (e.g. drawn with the pen tool or derived from a font) the resulting path elements will look something like <path d="M0,0Z"/> or <path d="M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0H0M0,0Z"/>
What’s surprising about the bug is that the export of non-closed bezier curves works just fine.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new Illustrator file
- Draw a custom path with the pen tool, click on the first point to close it
- Choose File > Export for Screens…
- In the ‘Formats’ section choose SVG
- Click the tiny gear icon to open the “Advanced settings for exported file types” dialog
- In the left-hand column select ‘SVG’
- In the ‘Decimal’ input field type ‘0’
- Hit “Save Settings”
- Hit “Export Artboard”As a result you will end up with an SVG file that’s encoded as expected, except for the value of the path elemnt’s d-attribute, so in turn your SVG file will render as if it were empty.
Now why in heavens would I even need an SVG with so little precision? Well, when preparing assets for web content like animated advertising creatives, the pressure for ever-smaller assets is so high, that I would like to reduce my SVG’s file size by scaling it up 10-fold then outputting the coordinates as integers, and then scaling down again when displaying, thus ending up with an effective precision of one decimal, but saving the extra storage for the decimal point itself. I’ve tried it and it can save me around 20-30% storage without any loss in quality.
So not having to resort to third party tools like SVGO for making this work would obviously speed up my workflow a lot.
Thanks for fixing.

Selecting text with triple-click and navigating it with Cmd-arrows
Since day one with Macintosh. Click ONCE for a point, Click Twice for a WORD, click Three times for a sentence, Click four for a paragraph.
Illustrator CC 2018 no longer sees a Forced line break as the end of the sentence. All previous versions of Illustrator worked fine.
Triple clicking now selects from Paragraph return to Paragraph return.
This is definitely a BUG.Breaks, ^n is the common notation in a find field. But does not have one for a more common Paragraph Return.
You can copy the hidden paragraph return and search for this. The search field will show a blank space, not the standard ^p that is the common notation. So the search can work.
Now, not having a Find shortcut for a Paragraph return, but the little used Forced Line Break is shortsighted as InDesign Does.

Opacity section in Properties Panel does not inform about blend modes
If there is a blending effect applied in the opacity settings the properties panel does not reflect the blending mode. You have to click on the appearance panel or opacity to see if one is applied. Took me a few minutes to trouble shoot why an element was not visible. It would be nice if buried settings would show up if selected in the properties panel since it was designed to make the interface more simple.

as if the shift key is stuck (all functions and operations)
After installing the new version, when in Illustrator, shift key has to be held down or things don't work. It's as if the shift key is pressed and I have to press it to release it, if you know what I mean. If I try to select a new tool and click it in the tool panel - nothing happens. If I hit the shift key and do the same again - works fine.

Text Boxes won't Scale or Flip
IllustratorCC 22.0.1 running under OSX 10.12.6
Select text box and either attempt to flip (Reflect tool using vertical axis) or scale using the Scale tool. Scale fails both dragging to scale, or double-clicking the Scale tool and inputting numeric scale value.
Text box scales or flips horizontal, as in all previous versions of AI.
Error message reading: "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large."

Vectors disappearing
When working on art-boards with a lot of vectors, not all of them show up. It's as if it can't handle working with that many.

CC降存CS3工作區域不見
自升級為CC2018後，將檔案降存為CS3版本後，再開啟CS3版的檔案時，原本的工作區域會只剩下工作區域1，其他都只剩工作區域參考線，這是以前未出現的問題。
1)而後嘗試改回CC2017還是有一樣的問題。
2)CC2018降存CS6並無此問題。4 votesPlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

Tools panel always in 2 colmun mode
Whenever I start Illustrator the Tools Panel is always in 2 columns mode, regardless of how it was when I last closed the application. I much prefer the 1 column mode so I have to change it every time.
Strangely this bug no longer happens if the "Show the Start Workspace when no documents are open" is enabled. Trouble is, I want it disabled that since makes Illustrator start faster.

Can't get rid 0.001
In the file, width of the clipping mask should be 550pt but it only stuck in 550.001pt. Want an explanation for this.
I could only create another rectangle in this case. But sometimes happened on some complicated shapes which was quite exhausted.

Type reverting & doing all sorts of weird things
The new Illustrator's type feature behaves strangely. The font reverts to the 1 I chose previously when I do some things such as discard the Offset Path setting I've set for it it in the Appearance Panel.
