An error occurred while saving the comment Robin, this is a known problem, and it’s a GPU rendering bug. To render art faster, GPUs 'cut corners' in their calculations, and this can lead to artifacts like this. The line actually is fine, it’s just a visual error. If you switch to CPU more, you’ll see the width is actually uniform.
However, it is still a bug, and should be addressed.
Please provide the exact specs of your Windows 10 machine: OS version, Ai version, GPU model and its driver’s version. If you are allowed — share the test file with this particular piece you are having troubles with, so that the team can try to reproduce it on their side. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, have you found that you can assign a hotkey to Isolate Selection command instead of double-clicking? Keyboard Shortcuts > Menu Commands > Other Object > Isolate Selected Object.
I use Ctrl+> (makes sense for me).
Unfortunately there is no way yet to assign a hotkey to return one level up (only small arrow to click) — but you can vote for it here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/32403778-make-a-hotkey-to-go-one-level-up-in-isolation-modeAnd if you direct-select an object inside a group, the hotkey brings you to the very bottom of the structure, which is handy.

An error occurred while saving the comment Ico, does it get rendered fine, if you toggle the Preview mode from GPU to CPU?
Is this a linked/embedded raster image, or a vector art?
Does pasting it i another document help? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Richard, at the moment — I believe there is now way to force Illustrator to use the other interpolation method for cropping embedded images.
But you can do this in Photoshop, using these exact controls you show in your screenshot. The problem with this particular TIFF is that it uses the Indexed Color mode, and thus can’t really interpolate patches. If you go to Image > Mode > Grayscale (or RGB), using Bilinear will give you smooth enough rotation, without lying much about original spots.
An image with non-indexed palette still won’t work properly with Crop in Ai, but yes, making the rotation in Photoshop before cropping is a workaround.
An error occurred while saving the comment Bilinear is surely fine. In fact, I use it more often than others for my own purposes in Photoshop.
I wonder what is being used now...And yeah, I think the native Crop is just not the best tool for the task at the moment :(
Anyway, you just can’t crop a rotated image to an orthogonal frame without any recalculation made.
Rasterino’s Crop Image tool does not recalculate, but I wish it was able to crop to clipping mask automatically.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, Richards, I can see what the problem is now and can confirm it. Illustrator allows to crop rotated images with the orthogonal frame, and uses the most crude interpolation method out there to calculate final pixels. It gets even more obvious if you rotate the image further.
Definitely needs to be revised! Thanks for reporting it.
Which solution would you prefer in this case?
1. To use a different interpolation method, like Bicubic (or other method Photoshop offers)
2. To use the rotated frame instead (something like the commercial Rasterino plugins does)
3. Another one — please specify then -

An error occurred while saving the comment Well, Rich Tool Tips is a thing one can disable in General > Show Rich Tool Tips. And the notion that being pro is enough to be able to find and disable it a valid one, I think...

An error occurred while saving the comment Meshes are not 'paths', they are their own basic entities, and indeed are immune to Shape Builder because of that.
There is no direct command to convert a mesh back into a path, but if you want to generate a path form a mesh, for the tool to see it, you have these options.
1. Select the mesh, Object > Path > Offset Path, enter 0 — to get the exact outline for the mesh (in most case it is the equivalent for 'backwards conversion')
2. Grab the free MeshTormentor plugin and use its 'Make BMG (brush mesh grid) function — to get the flat representation of mesh cells, keeping the colors (but not the smooth transitions)I’d like to see the workflow and the case you are having which requires of you to use the Shape Builder on meshes. What are you trying to do? What is the goal, what is that you are building? It can help to understand the real problem the team might need to address. Please record a short video or a GIF to see that.

An error occurred while saving the comment So that is basically about the automation of clipping, right? 'Flatten clipping'?
Like this one? https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/35456389-convert-a-clipping-mask-into-a-crop — 'convert a clipping mask into a crop'There are several other related request to this:

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed! Now, when I try it your way, I can’t remember how I tried it in my attempt. Perhaps not exactly with a click? Feels painful. Voted.
An error occurred while saving the comment Wes, is this still an issue for you in the latest version of Illustrator? I can’t reproduce it.
Can you please demonstrate it a short video or a GIF, or at least show the layer structure and the objects on canvas you try to click to select? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Laura, VectorScript? Never heard of it. Perhaps you meant InkScribe?
InkScribe is powerful enough indeed, and provides some additional cool features, but I can’t really say it’s essential.In fact, you don’t have to use three different tools even when you master the native Ai’s Pen tool, every subtool is accessible via modifiers.
Ctrl toggles the Direct selection (but yep, only if you had it enabled before, and not the plain Selection tool), Alt toggles the Anchor Point mode, Add and Remove are just context-driven, if you have 'Disable Auto Add/Delete' unchecked in Preferences > General...
It’s just different, and follows its own way, sure you have to learn it. It took me some time, years and years ago, but now I just fine with both approaches.
Perhaps though, there is some specific 'how to do this' which torments you? If you record the workflow in CorelDraw, using its Shape tool, perhaps I can advise the way to achieve in in Illustrator, or otherwise — verify Ai lacks a thing?I am not saying Ai is just great, on the contrary, I’d love to hear more about the experience from a fresh Corel user.
William, can you please share the test file here (remove everything but the blend and the spline in it)?
