An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator tries to maintain the positions of width profile markers when they are snapped to points of a path.
It is definitely true for closed paths, like the one you display in the screenshot (please correct me if you have cases to prove it).
For open paths it’s trickier — the profile gets stretched, to fill the entire length of the path, and markers shift from their positions, whether they were snapped to points or not. There is a separate request on this you can upvote: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/38084425
The same problem happens when you try to join or cut paths with profiles, and there is another report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44457144
Is this what you mean?But then you say 'getting rid of width profile' or 'disable it'... This is where I trip. Well, you obviously can disable them, that it to remove from a stroke: with a Profile dropdown in the Stroke panel, assigning the top 'Uniform' profile, or in Control panel, or through Properties (which is just a longer way to full Stroke panel)... so I assume you mean something else.
I suppose at your screenshot you refer to the bad joint on the right? Yeah, Ai does not do sharp corners well when it’s a starting point of a path (even closed paths have to start somewhere). A workaround for this for now is to cut a path at some other, smooth point (although this particular path seems to have only two sharp ones) and rebuild the profile. Another way is stick to art brushes — which are much harder to control though.
So it’s a valid report about this joint, and I am converting it into a bug report instead.
If you are able — please add the demo for the way it fails on mirroring though. Do you mean a Mirror Repeat, or the Mirror tool?
If the Repeat — again, there is a separate report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45205540 -

An error occurred while saving the comment William, this is strange.
Try to locate your workspace file as soon as you create it and make a backup copy of it.
It should be located here: <OSDisk>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator <version number> Settings/<locale> (e.g. en_US)/Workspaces/<Name>
The next time you find it missing in the UI, please check the folder again — if the file is actually gone, it really means Ai deletes it for some reason... if the file is still there — it probably means it got corrupted for some reason and Ai can’t read it back (in this case please share it in the comments or email to sharewithai@adobe.com, so they can see what got broken — and also please share the link to this report then, for tracking: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46952995).
If the file is missing, you can paste back the backup copy and check if it helps Ai to see it (after relaunch).
Please try to provide more details if possible:
1. Does it happen when you update Ai? At least it is known Beta versions always reset workspaces — are you using Beta, BTW?
2. How often does it happen?
3. Does it happen after you relaunch or just during work?
Any other things you find important. -

The latest version of Illustrator now allows you to manually control the behavior with the 'Suffix' option in the Export As dialog. Please check if it it works for you and comment back if it does not.
An error occurred while saving the comment Nazanin, it is now possible (in the latest versions) to control this behavior directly in the Export dialog, with the Suffix option. If you disable it, Ai won’t add numbering to the exported artboard (but will add them if you export several artboards still, to avoid rewriting files).
If it does not work as you expect it to — please comment back.An error occurred while saving the comment Angel, it is expected to go public in this December

An error occurred while saving the comment Thank you, Anthony. Videos are great, now it’s pretty clear and is indeed easily reproducible. I can confirm it also happens on Windows, the same way — as soon as an object is placed on the outskirts of the canvas, dragging the Navigator’s frame no longer works as it should.

An error occurred while saving the comment This is even more fun that this.
If you have something selected, typing in 100% in the Zoom Level field (which is the only one element in the bottom row to not have a tooltip, BTW) will result into re-centering the view to this selection — while double-clicking the Zoom tool icon does not move the view.
So we have THREE ways to change the view: to center to the selection, to center to the artboard, to no center to anything... but only one can be called with a hotkey (which a lot of user prefer).We need all three as menu commands we can assign hotkeys to.

An error occurred while saving the comment Agree, it makes little sense. The most stupid is that Ai does not even tell you nothing happens, no 'forbidden' cursor, no error sound, nothing...
And I can’t see how this is 'intended' :/ -

An error occurred while saving the comment Evan, do you still have the problem?
Can you try to reproduce it?
It seems like you had some small object far away on the left, so the Navigator had to include it — but it’s hard to tell now, after a year...
Please reply back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jessia, what happens if you use a rectangle with no-fill and no-stroke as a guide dummy instead of a transparent rectangle?
I believe it should work as well as a transparent one. The way to define bounds with a no-fill-no-stroke rectangle is actually a required procedure in patterns and brushes, so I bet it was intended here as well.
As for the drop coordinates — yeah, this inconsistency is meh, I agree. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Bo, can you please record a short video of the way the tool is misbehaving?
Like what you do, what it does, and what actually you want to create and expect?
It will help the team to understand it fully. I have meh-s of my own, but I can really appreciate your approach on it — if you still struggling with it. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jan, I can’t delete a path from a type-on-path object using the Groups Selection tool (this is what Alt for Direct Selection tool enables), in CS6, which is a 'previous version' — the same warning with an error is given. Do you mean some earlier version? or another, specific one, in case this ability appeared later and vanished after?
Although, it does not really differ if I try to group the type-on-path or leave it as it is, but you specifically mention a group...
Can you please provide some more details on this? Perhaps you still have an access to the version that is able to do that and can record a demo, or give the specific exact steps? Please help to understand this. As far as I remember, it was never possible to convert a type-on-path into just a type, therefore this script exists: https://kelsocartography.com/scripts/scripts/nvkelso/DetachTextFromPath.jsx -

An error occurred while saving the comment But they do work in other apps, don’t they?
An error occurred while saving the comment You mean when you want to move an object? Or when you try to move a cursor while editing a text? Or both?
If the first one only — can you please the Keyboard Increment value in Preferences > General? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see. Indeed, cycling through all possible blending modes is not a handy solution, even if you are using prepared array of objects with all modes.
Just to clarify: Select > Same > Blending Mode works with any opacity value (just checked).
However, it won’t select an art if a blending mode is applied to an attribute (actually it will, but only for the same attributes).
Anyway, it’s a hassle!There is a free plugin, Select Menu, which allows to select a lot of stuff, including objects wit opacity masks...
https://rj-graffix.com/downloads/plugins/#selectmenu
...but it can’t select objects with any blending mode in any attribute though.
Perhaps you ask a developer to add these — he is faster than Adobe for sure! :)Still, it’s a valid request to have Art with Blending Modes and Art with Transparency into Select > Object menu, and in the Filter menu as well. Voted.
An error occurred while saving the comment JF, please tell more about a workflow that you want to use it for.
Do you mean something as 'Transparent objects'? Because you can’t expect this menu to have all the possible blend modes to choose form and all possible transparency values, right?
And to select those specific you need, Ai already have Select > Same > Opacity and Blending Mode commands — do you know about these? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Lev, do you mean to 'clip' (which can be done with a linked image) or to actually 'crop' (which will have to embed the image to trim it)?
First one is possible with scripts. Here is one you can try: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-for-applying-an-artboard-sized-clipping-mask-to-selection/td-p/12823127
The second one... Well, there is a request for a functions to crop clipped embedded images to the bounds of the clipping mask: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/35456389-convert-a-clipping-mask-into-a-crop
...and some solutions exist. So it is possible to use two script for this, wrapped into one action, for example.
I am not saying the request is not valid, though. Voted. -

Disabling 'Paste Remembers Layers' in the Layers panel’s flyout menu solved the problem with pasting in place into a selected layer, therefore a specialized hotkey to the layer isolation is no longer required for the user.
If you still need this hotkey — please comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Glad it got solved for you!
You can read more about this function here: https://helpx.adobe.com/si/illustrator/using/moving-aligning-distributing-objects.html (search for 'Paste Remembers Layers'). Here is the excerpt:
By default, Paste Remembers Layers is off, and artwork is pasted into whichever layer is active in the Layers panel. When Paste Remembers Layers is on, artwork is pasted into the layer from which it was copied, regardless of which layer is active in the Layers panel.So I am closing this as Resolved then, since isolating a layer now is not required :)
However, a hotkey for this command is something we need still... but this is another story.An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, can you check please if you have 'Paste Remembers Layers' enabled in the Layers panel’s flyout menu?
If yes — does it change the behavior with Paste in Place if you disable it?An error occurred while saving the comment So I found a report about this, with 4 votes at the moment, and added some details for it to get more relevant in search results for those who can try to report something like this again:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/36922342
Please upvote it!An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, no worries. I understand exactly how you feel, this mix of 'oh, Ai is so cool' and 'WTF?!' — this is my normal state and that’s why I am here :)
So, I asked several folks to test this: copy an object form a layer at the bottom, select a layer at the top and paste in place.
Results are split: 80% have it placed in the selected layer, 20% — in the original. One of those users who has it like you do definitely uses 27.6.1, and I don’t know what othered have yet, but I believe 27.X as well. Windows and Mac mixed.
More results coming soon.I also run tests myself (I am a Windows user)), with older versions: CS4 and earlier do not have the command, but CS6 pastes into the selected layer...
Therefore I assume it is a bug. Will update more.
However, a question — if we find out it IS a bug and get the team to get it fixed — would you still need an 'Isolate Layer' hotkey?
(and by 'we', I mean us, users, since I am not an official part of the dev team)An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, this is strange.
Let me ask this, just to be sure:
when you copy the objects on Layer 1, then select the Layer 2 and use Paste in Place command — do you get your objects pasted into Layer 1 still, despite you have Layer 2 highlighted in Layers?
This is NOT how Ai behaves for me (I checked three latest versions). I know Paste in Front behaves like this, but not Paste in place...Enter Isolation Mode command (which indeed can’t be assigned to a hotkey and works with the selection IN Layers only) is a workaround for this, but I think the problem with Paste in Place is just a bug :/
Let me test it more.An error occurred while saving the comment Kristin, Illustrator allows to assign a hotkey to this command already.
Open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + K).
Switch to Menu Command from Tools in the dropdown list.
In the search field type 'isolate' — Illustrator will filter the list of available commands below to just one position, Isolate Selected Object in the Other Object section (or you can just scroll the list to the very bottom).
Assign the hotkey you need (I am used to having it on Ctrl+>).Also you might want to vote for having a hotkey for Isolate One Level Back — which Ai does not allow to have a hotkey for: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32403778-make-a-hotkey-to-go-one-level-up-in-isolation-mode
But I want to know a bit more about the behavior you talk about, the pasting at the top of the level.
I know about this, and the isolation trick is something I use too to mitigate this when I need to create one or more new shapes directly above a certain object. But you say there was a time Ai used to do it differently? Like draw new stuff directly above the selected object? Like the way Affinity Designer does now?Because there is a request to have a 'Draw above / in front' method: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45005431--draw-in-front-button
...and I don’t recall Ai having it like this ever — just rechecked older versions.But I think you refer to pasting specifically. I rechecked this too, in the latest version — Ai still pastes directly above the selected object, if you use Paste in Front command, just like it used to do. Can you recheck this too?

Sorry, not sure if I understand it.
Do you have problems with selecting several widgets at Once?
Here, in the GIF, I am using Ctrl+Shift together. Then I release Shift (but keep holding Ctrl, to not loose the selection of widgets) and round all of them together.
Can you provide some more details? You can use Japanese alright.
Provide a video or a GIF if it’s easier for you (I use LICEcap to record these).
