1. Illustrator Beta workspace and preferences reset after updates

   Loving the beta app, but every time I update the workspace resets and I have to recreate it from a blank slate every time.

   The problem is not fixed. As reported, the latest Beta build 28.5.26 resets preferences again. Please comment if you confirm this.

2. Rethink Modal Dialogs

   Here is a significant issue that many users, including myself, have encountered while using Adobe Illustrator—the frequent appearance of popups and modal dialog boxes. These interruptions disrupt the workflow and hinder productivity, which is highly frustrating and inappropriate for a professional design software.

   While I understand the importance of notifications and updates, the current implementation of popups often feels intrusive and unnecessary. These interruptions not only break concentration but also obscure parts of the workspace, causing unnecessary delays in completing tasks. Complicated transformations that require detailed selections get ruined when you have to stop everything to click an OK button.

   Not only are these dialogs annoying, they are also highly inefficient for things like settings. Specifically, settings that involve brushes or shapes (blob tool, paintbrush, pencil, eraser, spray tools, smooth tool) All of these built-in Illustrator tools need a way to continually adjust the settings with live preview without breaking workflow. If I am erasing some details around a shape, I would like to slowly decrease the brush size as I reach into a tight area. But because I have to endure a modal dialog box, I lose track of where I am at (since the dialog box covers what I am working on) and I have no reference for my brush size.
   If you moved all alerts that were non-critical to a banner or side panel that didn't cover the workspace, that automatically collapsed, or was easily closable, it would improve the Illustrator experience 100 fold.

   If you would put the settings for the tool in a dynamic panel that let you adjust the settings while you worked and see the effects of the adjustments, it would be revolutionary for Illustrator.

   As a loyal user of Adobe Illustrator, I believe there are more user-friendly alternatives to delivering notifications and updates. For instance, utilizing non-intrusive banners or notifications within the application's interface would provide users with important information without disrupting their work.

   I kindly request that the development team consider eliminating popups and modal dialog boxes wherever possible. Right now the Illustrator interface is so reminiscent of the Alert dialog that it feels like Windows 3.1. By eliminating popup spam (adds for Mockup or other new services that nobody asked for) and preventing modal dialogs while implementing a way to change settings in real time, you would bring Illustrator up to the 2000s, maybe even late 2010s. This change would greatly improve the user experience and demonstrate Adobe's commitment to enhancing productivity for its users.

   NOTE: This is part of my request that Illustrator eliminate user error messages.

3. Do you guys really have to write the full "Adobe Illustrator 2024" in the Mac menu bar?

   It used to say "Illustrator" in the Mac OS menu bar for decades (briefly "Illustrator CC").

   I have a new MacBook Pro with the camera cutout, and now, because it was changed to a totally unnecessary "Adobe Illustrator 2024," all my menu items are being pushed to the other side of the camera housing, which then covers up my menu bar items. Seriously?

   What was wrong with how it was before? Is it not a priority for the user interface to be space-efficient? It has to tell us the year?

4. Artboard Edges Hidden While Moving or Zooming

   When using the hand tool (holding spacebar while clicking and dragging), scrolling, or using zoom. the artboard edges disappear. It seems like it is only a problem if the background color is similar to the color of the artboard (i.e. white). Frustrating to not be able to see corners when I'm zooming to check that my objects are aligned with the artboard edge.

5. BUG - The Contextual Task Bar doesn't appear when you select an individual compound path or compound shape

   I noticed that the new Contextual Task Bar doesn't show up when a single compound path or compound shape is selected. However, if you copy and paste that shape and select both copies, the Contextual Task Bar does show up. It also shows up if you take that single compound shape/path and group it - even though there's only that one single object in the group. This seems to be a flaw.

10. AI Window keeps going behind other windows when selected

    When I have AI open and select the application's window, AI keeps going behind other desktop windows when selected. I tried resetting preference and that seemed to fix it, but now it is back to doing it. This has been going on for 6+months (started happening after an update).
