An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment 10. I don't see a quick way to save the picked color theme to a Theme preset I can use later. Even when I expand it to the modal window, I don't understand how to save it :) My bad, I just barely like the main window, I use 20% of it because of the UI. Maybe it's just me (I should RTFM finally)
An error occurred while saving the comment 9. Color Theme Picker is too much a big deal for displaying it like this, with no caption (the pseudo-panel itself lacks captions, not cool). By the way, same applies to Global Edit feature — very strong (but unfinished) tool and such a tiny button in Control panel (at least it's big enough in Properties)
An error occurred while saving the comment 8. There's no way to expand modal window back to floating pseudo-panel (god, please, make it just a normal panel, I hate it already for closing every time when I just want to pan the art!)
An error occurred while saving the comment 6. Color theme picker is nuts. So good.
7. You should display sliders under the color strip all the time, and leave white dividers like it's done now (only when mouse is hovered over the slider or an edge) otherwise users could miss the sliding feature.
An error occurred while saving the comment 5. Color updates only when I release the slider (while I have the Real-Time feature on!)
An error occurred while saving the comment 4. Ctrl+Z closes the pseudo panel. Ugh! No, this is wrong.
An error occurred while saving the comment 2. I can't see a caption that a need to drag. Grip lines are almost invisible.
3. The fact it vanishes right after you tried to add something to the selection is bad. It looks almost like a panel, but it's something else, and I can't see any reason behind it. Just make it a panel. Let it be active as long as I need it. Just copy the Pattern Options behaviour, which looks like a panel, allows to modify anything behind it, and vanishes when you click 'Done'. Don't invent a new thing when you have a chassis you can use for it!
An error occurred while saving the comment 1. It trails like this for me

I happens when the width of the screen is not wide enough to fit all the elements the Control panel can display. Some blocks, especially from the Transform section, get omitted.
To workaround this without purchasing a larger display, one can open the Control panel's flyout menu, untick some options, like Align, and check if the section needed returns. If yes — then please vote here for a feature that would allow us to change the order of blocks in Control: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40231882-allow-us-to-chose-order-of-controls-in-control-pan
An error occurred while saving the comment Hey, it might be because there are too many blocks in the Control panel and the Transform section is omitted. Try to open Control panel's flyout menu, untick, say, Align, and check if coordinates return.
If yes, then please vote here for a feature that would allow us to change the order of blocks in Control:

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, for now you can use Symbols: create one and place it on a locked layer underneath you art. Use rectangle with no stroke&fill to limit the boundaries of it. Not a final solution, but certainly better then nothing :)

There's an option 'Used Preview Bounds' for that in Preferences, which toggles the behavior. When it’s on, Illustrator includes stroke weight into dimensions, and does not when it’s off.
An error occurred while saving the comment James, there's an option for that already in Preferences, called 'Used Preview Bounds'. It does exactly want you want.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Henry
Yes, the video clarifies it well enough. I feel your pain! Thank you so much for recording and sharing this, it really helps to investigate.
I don't have these problems on my machine... but it VERY much looks like you somehow have you Ctrl key stuck — in this mode Ai treats the cursor position as a snap point, to emulate pre-CS4 version of Smart Guides (kind of).
Does the behavior you experience change when you hold Ctrl?
What options are checked for you in the Smart Guides section of Preferences?
Have you tried to reset you Preferences? (here's handy instruction: https://astutegraphics.com/support/tutorials-and-troubleshooting/resetting-illustrator-preferences)An error occurred while saving the comment Henry (and Martin too), can you record a video or even a GIF (like with LICEcap) that shows what does work for you in your current 24.1.3? I'm trying to replicate these problems, using your text description and I can't. Don't install the 24.2, just show in the previous one.

An error occurred while saving the comment Try to reset you Preferences first (but copy the folder first), and if it won't help — uninstall and reinstall both versions. I am sorry, but it's usually the only thing we can do.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, sometimes Ai likes to shrink into a nugget in the top left corner of the screen! And when it happens, it cant open or save anything. I have no idea why this happens.

An error occurred while saving the comment Can it be that someone just renamed these files' extension from, say, TIF to PNG, manually? Have you checked these files?

An error occurred while saving the comment Robert, what format do your placed files have?
If the are in PDF — then it's OK.
Illustrator can only OPEN files in .pdf if they were created in Illustrator itself and have proper settings. If you try to open PDFs from other apps — AI will have to IMPORT them, with the consequences you probably are seeing: clipping masks.
I can advise AstuteGraphics VectorFirstAid plugin to clean such files. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Parijat, you must have accidentally turned Bounding Box off.
Check if it's on for you: View > Show Bounding Box (Ctrl+Shift+B) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Not sure if I get this...
Center is displayed only for live shapes, as far as I know (rectangle and ellipse). Other object would have centerpoints only if you set it in the Attributes panel — and it's not a bounding box one (fat circle), but a normal one (tiny dot).
Can you record a video that shows how it works for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment This is strange indeed. Can you share the file you have this problem in to sharewithai@adobe.com for the team to check it?
Does it help if you copy/paste you artwork into a new file and create artboard there?
Also, do you save it in .ai or .pdf format? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Are you sure that you have the right Draw Order mode?
It's easily changed by pressing Shift+D.
Check for three little buttons in the bottom part of the toolbox. If you have 'Draw Behind' there — change it into 'Draw Normal' -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, I agree. Guides should be visible when dragged in all modes all the time.
Vote also for this more general feature request, please:

An error occurred while saving the comment This is a fresh known bug that is hopefully going to be fixed to. This is related to 'Align To' mode autosets to 'Key object' now and a key object is chosen when not needed.
11. Gradients are ignored when you pick a color theme with a picker. Color apply only to flat fills. Instead of several colors in the bottom bar (may be I want to recolor my whites to a bright pink and my black to a dark blue) I get one grayish strip I have no use of.
