Enter key won't close dialog boxes in 27.0
In (all) previous version of Illustrator going back to 88, the highlighted entry in a dialog could be closed with the enter key. In 27.0 it now requires the addition of the command key in order to work. The panel shown is one example. Mac OS Monterey 12.6, early 2020 Macbook Pro.

Selecting multiple links with cmd+click in Illustrator with Wacom Pen is broken.
I'm using a iMac Retina 5k 2020 with a Wacom Intuos Pro.
I've noticed that after one of Illustrator's Update, I was not able to select multiple links (cmd+click each link) in the Link Tab with my pen, but when I was using a mouse, there wasn't any problem.
I was going to blame Wacom, I've had issues with their updates before, but I've reverted to Illustrator 26.0 and it was working perfectly fine. I've updated older versions 1 by 1 to see when it started bugging and it looks like version 26.4 is the culprit and it kept on…

With large UI scaling enabled, New Document dialogue does not properly display input text boxes
Setting UI Scaling preference to large causes the New Document dialogue to incorrectly display text input values due to baseline being too high and clipping off top of characters, making it difficult to edit. This does not appear to affect other dialogues although not all were reviewed.

Rectangle’s horizontal and vertical measurements are swapped
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)
Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)
Adobe Illustrator 26.0.2When selecting an object, like a rectangle, the horizontal and vertical measurements in the tool bar are swapped. They appear correctly in the Transform window.
For example, a horizontal rectangle could be 7pt x 5pt, but when selected in the tool bar it shows 5 in the <--> dialog box and 7 in the vertical box.
I have restarted my computer and restarted illustrator.
See screen caps below.2 votesAs per the comment:
Illustrator allows to access dimensions of an object as well as dimensions of a live shape. In case when a shape is rotated by 90° the shape’s size values can look swapped compared to measured sizes. It’s like tilting a head. See attached images inside for clarifications.

Rotate polygon with 3 sides (triangle)
(A) If I create a polygon with only 3 sides (triangle), then it has a centre that corresponds to a circle around the triangle.
(B) If I rotate the triangle by 90° with the Rotate tool, the centre of the circumcircle is used. That is correct.(C) If I rotate the same triangle by 90° with the menu command "Object > Transform > Rotate", then suddenly the centre of the bounding box is used as the centre of rotation. This is wrong in my eyes. Also, this new centre point remains.

Portrait Mode
Older versions of Illustrator support Portrait Mode - it seems like CC does not. This is very useful if your main computer is a Microsoft Surface docked in portrait mode or have a secondary monitor in portrait mode, or if using a Surface will on the go you prefer to work in portrait mode. It seems like it would be simple to change as when the Illustrator window is not active it reverts to portrait mode anyway, also my old version (CS4) works just fine in this mode so it has been done before. I've attached a video showing how…

All confimation boxes closing
Everytime I do an action that recquires a confirmation box - such as Save Document, Rasterize Text, etc - the box closes in less than a second, making impossible to do anything. So, when I'm working I can't save - and sometimes can't even shut down the program because all boxes closes in a blink.
Im using the last AI version and Windows 11. Can someone help me? :(

Wrong localization
I have English version of Adobe Illustrator ver. 25.4.1
I changed language to Russian and see that Russian localization is incorrect. These Russian words do not exist in the Russian language.
Is that possible to update Russian localization in Adobe Illustrator?

Error opening Edit menu
Not sure when this started happening. When a graphic object is selected on the artboard (JPEG in this case), the Edit tab in the main menu bar produces an error when clicked on. Other tabs seem fine. When trying to open the Edit menu, the attached error pops up. Once the error is dismissed, the dropdown menu opens. This happens every time the process is repeated. It is not helped by restarting either Illustrator or the Mac.

Illustrator 2021
The bug is ILLUSTRATOR 2021 itself.
- tried to save as bitmap to discover that finally the "save for web "option is gone - OK, but the "Export as" can't resize the picture and doesn't perform the action because "it's too big". So? How can I save the image? I open it with Photoshop but no, Photoshop "can't detect EPS data". Photoshop. You invented EPS. And you can't read an Illustrator-created EPS.
I work with Illustrator since 1.0. I feel like timewarped back into pre-history. Please rename the bug (=Illustrator 2021) with a proper name: Illustrator 2021 BC.2 votes -

Artboard Naming Display Error
OS: MacOS 11.5.2 (Big Sur – most recent update)
When renaming artboards, the text is cut off in the textbox on my M1 Macbook Air.
Steps I took: Shift+O to access the artboard tool, click artboard, attempt to rename.
I want to point out - I'm still able to rename the artboard, but the text is just cut off in the box (see picture below).

Shear dialog forgets the value
While rotating objects keeps the value of the angle in the dialogue box, bending (shearing) immediately forgets the value. A bug?
Während beim Drehen von Objekten der Wert des Winkels im Dialogfeld erhalten bleibt, vergisst das Verbiegen den Wert sofort wieder. Ein Bug?

Annoying undo behaviour - please don't undo the values in the dialogs
It has been like this forever but it is very annoying all the same: when you have selected an object and you hit Return to move it by a value of n px, and you undo that action, the x and y values in the Move dialog have been restored to their former value. 99% of the time this is annoying and not what I need. I want the value to be remembered and not undone. I only want the OPERATION to be undone.
