Type object selection by path

Restart every 1 min to fix a bug – Illustrator Font Panel Bug
Adobe Illustrator always show the default font Myriad Pro no matter which typeface/font you are using. Also Fonts and weights that you are using disappear from the dropdown of the font.
The only way of fixing it is to restart illustrator every 1 min.

Font increase/decrease arrows in character panel immediately closes character panel
Select text in an art board, when the character panel appears in the properties panel, and you then try and click/hold the text size arrows, they don't work and instantly close the character panel. Feels like a bug because I was able to use this workflow before to adjust the size of properly selected text.

Font Suggestion/Preview Font NOT Working on MAC's
I select a text box on my art board and go to the character palette to change the font. I was able to use the arrow keys up and down and see the font change on the art board. This feature no longer works with CC2018 Mac.
Or I was able to start typing a font name into the Character Palette and suggestions would pop up. This feature no longer works with CC2018 Mac.
I find this very irritating and a difficult way to work. This only happens on my MAC, my PC still works.
Can anyone help me with…

Issues with changing font type
I am using Illustrator 22.0.1 to design a logo. I've tried this on both my MacBook Pro and on my iMac and had the same thing happened:
With the document open, I double-clicked on of the words to get the Type panel to open on the right. I then made my selection with the Type tool and then clicked the font drop down menu to change the font and started scrolling.
I need to be able to scroll through the font dropdown menu to browse the fonts so I can make a selection.
Instead, the font menu bugs out and…

Making a button - Changing stroke on text to shape adds extra point [BUG]
- Illustrator CC 2018
- I was trying to make a scalable button with the text tool:
Used text tool to write "Label", then in the appearance panel I added a stroke under Characters and then turned it into a rounded rectangle and adjusted the size to the desired shape. This did what I want, except it added an extra point it seems that causes an artifact in the shape. Is there any way you could fix this to close the shape properly/ also be able to adjust the stroke alignment for this.
- Expected a nice smooth pill shaped button
- The shape…

Freeze screen
Sometimes the text boxes freeze and seem like I can't edit but actually are editable, is just I can't see exactly what I am doing.
The other thing, and is a major issue, is that the outline mode is not visible, apparently, I can activate it but there nothing changes on my screen besides the option that shows that the mode is active.2 votesPlease accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience.

Type reverting to default when using shift or symbols.
When within the text box, every time I use a symbol (i.e. parenthesis, bullet point) the action causes the type font to revert back to default. In the attached image I was using Acumin and after the parenthesis it reverted back to Myriad Pro.
It's just inconvenient to have to select the text over again and make it the correct font.

Font Family menu
: Illustrator CC 2018 (22.0.1) : Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) : Intel HD 530 GFX card : Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 :
When setting the font family in the Character Panel, the expanded menu will appear mostly black (see attached file AiFontMenuBug.jpg) and makes browsing fonts tricky. This appears to only happen when using the font scaling on my Wacom Cintiq pro 16. When the Character Panel is moved to my other screen, which isn't font scaled, it behaves normally. (see attached file AiFontMenuBug2.jpg)

Scrolling over the Font Family closed dropdown doesn’t respect Filters applied properly
You guys are amazing. I can set my mouse over the font selection box, and without opening the drop down menu, I can scroll through fonts.
The bug is that after setting my font filter, I continue to scroll through an unfiltered list of fonts, unless I open the drop down menu.

Clicking to the side of a (point) text doens't put cursor at the end of line
Illustrator CC 2018
Mac OS X El Capitan and Windows 10This used to work on CS6 (at least on Mac): with type tool selected, having clicked anywhere in the middle of a text (point, not area), if I wanted to go to the end of the line (eg to continue typing), I could click anywhere to the right of the text and the cursor would move to the end of the line.
Now, if I do that, it deselects the text (sometimes creates a new point text.
If I want to continue typing, I have to click exactly just…

most fonts not rendering
I have to continually uninstall and reinstall 75% of my fonts! They show up in the panel, but do not render when selected. This is way beyond aggravating and is taking up hours of my time daily.
These are fonts on my hard drive, not typekit or any other font service. using Windows 10 and Illustrator CC 2018 (happened intermittently with 2017, now it's everytime I open Illustrator or let it sit open for more than a few hours)2 votesClosing the ticket since didn’t hear back from customer.

Text and Objects Randomly Rotating
When I move text or an object, I will always notice they get slightly rotated. It's hard for the eye to see it sometimes, but the guide lines will show that things get slightly rotated sometimes for no reason.

Delay of text cursor
- Illustrator 22.0.0 (64-bit).
- There is a delay in the text cursor showing up when it's moved with arrows or a text path is newly clicked, requiring one to wait for it before being able to continue working.
- The text cursor should be immediately visible.
- There is a delay instead of a couple seconds. (That's a long time when making many moves in a row.)

Group selection + free transform no longer works on text boxes to resize area without changing text
When I have a textbox open in Illustrator, in the past I could use the group selection tool to select just the box surrounding the type and manipulate that without affecting the text but now the bounding box doesn't even appear when I have the box selected without the type.
Currently to manipulate the box without the type I would need to individually adjust each anchor point on the box, the free transform tool was previously very convenient for working around the fact that there's no actual feature to distinguish between manipulating the text box and the actual type but…
