Keyboard shortcuts not saving. Unable to change certain keyboard shortcuts.
Latest updates are not storing keyboard shortcuts or reverting back to default with no way to resolve.
I changed the CPU/GPU preview shortcut (cmd+E) to something else and set cmd+E to be a shortcut for Expand. It doesn't update in the menu and reverts back after restarting Illustrator. I've tried reinstalling, reseting preferences and deleting my custom keyboard shortcuts and resetting them with no success at keeping the shortcuts as I've set them.
I should be able to overwrite or change keyboard shortcuts, especially those that aren't used as often and I don't personally see the need to have a…

Clicking an object force drags it wherever my mouse goes
Anytime I click on an object in Illustrator 25.2 it "sticks" to my cursor. If i'm using my mouse (a Logitech MX Master), it sticks for about 1 second, and drops the object wherever my cursor is positioned. If I use my Macbook's trackpad, it stays stuck until I click again.
This has made Illustrator completely unusable in every way, and I rely on it for my career. I have no idea what to do, please help me!

Cannot close window, save dialog endless loop
I cannot close the current document window without an endless loop of "saved changes to document" (even though its currently saved). This is using the X in the corner to close window. If I say yes, save it, it remains open and won't close, even when I hit X again, endlessly (it just goes back to asking me if I want to save)

Using tool shortcut adds icon to all toolbars
I want to have customized toolbars that only show the tools I've specified. However, when I select a tool via a shortcut, e.g V for Selection Tool, that icon is then added to my custom toolbars. Very frustrating and distracting.

Scrolling or zooming causes round Corner Widgets to get deselected
Steps to reproduce:
1. draw a rectangle
2. Use the mouse to select ONE of the corners' radius handle (the bullseye handle inside the corner)
3. Move the mouse wheel to pan (or zoom) a small distance.
4. The bug happens here! The corner radius handle is no longer selected, and dragging the handle now affects all four corners. This is no good if you want to have only one corner radiused. I only noticed this recently so I think it's a newly introduced problem.Panning or zooming should NOT affect the selections that the user has made.

Unable to change language
Windows 10, CC2020.
I am unable to change the Installation language of Illustrator. No matter what I do it always installs itself as English (International). I am trying to change it to Norwegian to record a tutorial. This often happens, but with CC apps it is **** to efficiently try to change app languages. Fiddling with obscure settings files, renaming folders, reinstalling applications, or sometimes being forced to reinstall every single CC app and do a complete cleaning of the system.
IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE LANGUAGE DROP-DOWN IN PREFERENCES. /rant
What I have attempted:

Toggling outline view should not modify file
When toggling Preview/Outline mode, the current file behaves as though a modification was made, even though nothing appears in the Undo history.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an existing AI file
2. Go to "View" menu
3. Select "Outline" (or "Preview", if the file was saved whilst in Outline view)
4. Go to "Undo" menu
5. Notice there's nothing to undoThis is only a nitpick, but it's been gnawing at me for a while.

Image Trace panel greys out on existing traced object
CC2019 v23.0.6
After tracing an object, the Image Trace panel is greyed out. The only way to 'activate' the options is to switch views in the Control Bar a couple of times. It's arbitrary and annoying.

AI doesn't warn about matching hotkeys for commands and actions
Actions can only be bound to F-keys.
Keyboard shortcuts can be match to almost anything, including F-keys.
When user tries to register new keyboard shortcut that already exists, AI warns them about conflict.
But when user creates new shortcut for F-combination, already taken by action, AI says nothing.
For example, if one of my actions uses Ctrl+Shift+F2, and then I want to assign same Ctrl+Shift+F2 for 'Change case' command, AI won't notify me. Action will run, but not a command then. If I uses Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F2 for that (or any) command, it still won't run, but action will do.4 votes -
