An error occurred while saving the comment Well, this is known to me and I even can't decide if this a bug.
Same happens not even for a nested group but any locked child object.
What do you expect? That first group moves while second stay? Thus breaking the appearance?
Well, it could be an option, but I also sometimes use current behaviour.
I would propose you to log a request to have an option to switch this, to keep both methods possible. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Andy, Gary, it is possible already now, using an action, but with a longer path than some might expect.
1. Crete a temporary shape, remove fill and stroke.
2. Apply a Convert to Shape Rectangle effect to it, set the value, keep it selected
3. Open Graphic Styles panel
4. Press New Graphic Style (Plus) button, set a name.
5. Delete this temp shape, create another one, for recording an action
6. Open Actions, create new
7. Select the temp shape, record your Copy and Paste in Front steps
8. Click the previously created style, holding Opt/Alt, to apply it additively
9. Open the Actions panel’s flyout menu and run Insert Menu item command
10. When a dialog appears, go to Object > Expand Appearance. Make sure the dialog recognized the command, commit
11. Now expand the appearance for real (it won’t get recorded, but you need it for the next step)
12. Repeat the step 8 (Insert Menu item command)
13. Choose the Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards command
14. Stop recording the action
It is done, you can now check if it works. Please reply back!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, totally invisible.
Can you share your OS specs, please? Also GPU and its driver number.
Also — does anything change if you switch from GPU to CPU (Cmd + E)?An error occurred while saving the comment Are you sure the dots of the grid are completely invisible? I can see them as very pale dots. They are there, but barely visible for me. A screenshot, please?
An error occurred while saving the comment Arseny, while the actual problem with the dot grid is still under review, this new comment you made is about the recent compromise the team introduced to boost the speed of panning and zooming greatly. At the moment this required to to disable all annotations-based elements while panning and zooming, including grids, guides, bounding box, etc.
Many users obviously see this as a bug, and I hope they will be able to ensure consistency later. Thanks for not being silent!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment I see now, thanks. So editing of a dynamic symbol A, nested into another symbol B makes all locally modified instances of A loose their dynamic attributes, when it’s edited inside of B.
A bug indeed!AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Pavel, can you please record a short demo of the problem and share a test file you will use in it, so that the team can reproduce the problem clearly?
I try to reproduce this naively and fail — if I make the changes to symbol A and then go deeper to make some changes to the nested symbol B — all changes get respected when I exit the editing mode. -

With recent changes made into the Snap to Grid, Ai no longer uses bounds of the clipped content for snapping, but uses the clipping object’s bounds instead.
An error occurred while saving the comment Here is the demo.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, yes, a dozen times yes. I am so tired of this!
There is a workaround — to grab the clipping group specifically by the clipping path, but it’s a tedious one...AdminEgor Chistyakov

Suddenly, the team reports they tried to fix this in the latest Beta Build 30.4.0.135. Kindly install it (or update, if you have Beta already installed) and check if the problem is indeed fixed before it gets pushed into the regular build.

An error occurred while saving the comment Andrew, click and hold where exactly? The buttons in the Align panel? or the Align to Artboard button in the Align To section in the same panel?
As I see it, the problem is that the currently highlighted artboard is not highlighted obviously enough, especially with modern HiDPI displays — the border is still 1 px wide and does not get adjusted. There is a separate feature request to change it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44994088-selected-artboard-border-indication-border-color
But I’d also want to learn more about your problem — does it happen only because you can’t tell clearly which artboard is highlighted, or there are other reasons this happens? like Ai is changing the artboard focus when you make a selection? There are other similar topics you can upvote.

An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile, Astute Graphics made a Make Shape effect, which is 42 times more powerful than the native one. Just look at this screenshot.

An error occurred while saving the comment This, for example, will allow to build nice dimensioning lines as styles (while Ai lacks them as a native tool)

An error occurred while saving the comment Tina, what app exactly are you trying to paste the copied text into? Is it a specialized text editor, a browser, another vector editor?

An error occurred while saving the comment There are several custom scripts that allow us to do that at the moment, like this one: https://onthehead.com/ais/item005/
Still, a native solution to unscale and unrotate placed images (separately and/or together) would be a nice thing to have. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, as far as I know, the Resolution value in the Document Raster Effect Settings dialog has no connection to the assumed resolution of placed images and does not influence it in any way. Illustrator has to assume a resolution for images which do not have any specified resolution within (since it’s an arbitrary value for PNGs to have).
One can specify a resolution for a PNG file, but since it’s a format originally designed for web, and a resolution is a 'density factor' basically, Ai just has to assume it... but true, we don’t have a way to influence it. Thus it’s not really a bug but a feature request.

An error occurred while saving the comment How large is your text object?
Illustrator does not allow to scale type larger than 1296 pt — a legacy PostScript limitation.

An error occurred while saving the comment No worries, I just had to clarify.
If it ever happens again — please record it, as a video or a GIF.
I am not closing this, since the bug still happened, and relaunch is hardly a real fix.An error occurred while saving the comment What is the 'work area'? Do you mean 'artboards?
Which version do you say you have troubles with it?
How do you try to rename these exactly? Can you please record a short video demonstrating the bug? I can’t seem to replicate it, these get renamed just fine.
David, it is not new... If you launch an older Ai version (i mean really older) — they all behave the same way, the locked object gets moves and transformed with its parent group. Same applies to hidden objects. Even the bounding box gets drawn the way it includes the locked/hidden object.
I am not sure if it ever was working differently... can you specify a specific version you are sure had it differently?
Also — I see all three of your comments, but reply only here. Can you help to investigate this?
As I see it now, it’d be indeed a nice option to have, to lock this completely, and not only selection wise.
We already have a 'Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard' option, so I don’t think having another one, named something like 'Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with their parent objects' (disabled by default) will spoil anything.
