An error occurred while saving the comment Dave, a manual is sort of there already.
There is the Discover panel, which is basically a browser window with some search and in-app highlighting, and there is the site it picks data from, helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/
I can’t say these are perfect (cause I know they are not) — but maybe a little more details, please? What is that you think is not covered well enough by it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Nicky, are you aware of the workaround I described below?
Pick the Artboard Tool first, and then drag a guide out of rulers.
I don’t promote this as an ultimate solution, on the contrary, I think a modifier is better for this, in the spirit of 'true Ai way'AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Jasnoor, that’s a different problem.
Does it get fixed if you scale your art down?
Can you share the file here for the team to look at?An error occurred while saving the comment Jan, the team kindly ask you to share the file with the artwork and details about the Color Settings (Edit > Color Settings...)
Please also try to change them to any other settings preset other than 'Northern America General Purpose 2' and see if it changes anything in the behaviour. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Rinchen, can you please provide some examples of that 'gross output' you get?
Also — well, you can select all the text in a document and change this option for all of them at once, can’t you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I see, makes sense.
Well, 1296 is 6^4, but it feels odd as an explanation.
There is the same limit for the font size: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31773148-allow-type-to-scale-larger-than-1296-ptsWell, still it feels like a workaround to not having a proper Move dialog in the iPad version of Ai...
If I had this problem myself, I’d scale my artwork down 4 times, but I assume you have reasons to leave it unscaled, right?
Voted.An error occurred while saving the comment Just curious — what is the workflow which requires such prominent jumps? What do you move?
Also — do you mean iPad or Desktop?An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting.
What is the purpose of having it this big? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Raahim, how do you use it?
For this tool to work, you have to apply a gradient to the fill or stroke first: hit '>' key or click the 'Gradient' button under the Fill/Stroke selector in the tool panel, or click the large square with the gradient in the top left corner of the Gradient panel.If you do this, but still the tool does not work, can you please make a short small video of this behavior, or a GIF (https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ or https://blog.bahraniapps.com/gifcam/ are perfect for this)?
On the other hand, if it does — you might want to vote for the ability to apply the gradient immediately, when one drags with the picked tool, here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40073737
In any case — please reply.

An error occurred while saving the comment It’s not a problem, actually. On the contrary, this approach allows certain flexibility. Sometimes a user needs only the value, and sometimes want to change units. However, once can always select the whole values of a field with a single click — in this field’s caption: that is 'X:' or 'W:' or 'Weight:'... Works with every panel Ai has.
Does this solve the problem for you?An error occurred while saving the comment That's a very interesting topic, Jason.
I just checked several apps to see how they behave, just to be exactly sure (in no particular order).
A click at a value INSERTS the cursor:
— Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign... all Adobe desktop apps in general
— Google Slides-Docs-Sheets though, in most fields
— Corel Draw
— Inkscape
— Xara
— Microsoft Office
— 3ds MaxA click at a value SELECTS the value:
— XD, Figma, Lunacy... all web apps in general
— Google Docs, only in several places
— Blender
— Affinity DesignerVectorStyler does both, selects and inserts, and it feels broken to me.
Adobe apps select a value if you click a field’s caption, and once you are accustomed to it — it allows you to choose, without double-clicking a field to toggle a mode. Unfortunately, some captions are pretty small to aim at, especially with a large monitor.
So — there is no ONE uniform standart. There are standartS.
https://xkcd.com/927/Perhaps there should be an option, perhaps web and new apps should use a select mode. Anyway, having a healthy discussion is welcome.
An error occurred while saving the comment I disagree. You can select whole field in AI with clicking it's caption. It usually is smaller, right, but it's still can be done. But what AI does right now is allow user to click precisely and set cursor where you want within the value. And it's useful, don't take it away.

An error occurred while saving the comment Yasir, the Character panel allows you to mark specific font families as Favorites (but not specific font styles it may have, like Italics or Bold), with a star button, right next to the name of the chosen family’s name in the 'Set the font family' drop-down list. To access these, you can enable 'Show Favorites Fonts' filter in the same menu.
This is not exactly a floating panel with presets, like we can have for swatches, brushes, or graphics styles... but it’s a way to achieve it.Also, you can use Paragraph Styles and Character Styles panels — they will store all the parameters a text object can have, not only font, but also its color, its size, etc. This is almost exactly the thing you want, minus thumbnails other panels have.
Please reply if these methods work for you, and what else these miss specifically you want to have.

An error occurred while saving the comment The said accent menu looks like the GIF attached.
It’d be indeed a nice feature, although it clashes with the one Windows has reserved for holding a letter, Auto Repeat. One can toggle if off, in Windows (here 10) Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard > Use Filter Keys: On — but this is not a common knowledge.
Can’t say Auto Repeat is actually an good :)On Windows, you can achieve this with a quite new Quick Accent menu. It requires Power Toys though: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/quick-accent
After PowerToys is installed, and Quick Accent is enabled, hold a key for a short time and immediately press Space — the same looking menu bar will get shown. Not the same exact workflow, but it works. -

This happens because the swatches from the local library should panel should be added in the document’s Swatches panel for the Recolor to use it.
An error occurred while saving the comment This happens because this 'Colour palettes' panel you are having docked at the right is just a local library. To have these color groups available for the Recolor to see, you have to load them into the Swatches panel, which is collapsed to the left of the library docked.
It’s like you opened a jar with spices, but never put in on the kitchen table. OK, a bad metaphor, but you have to load these shelved swatches into the document to work with them.
Please try this and reply if it works for you. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Eclatoune, you’d have to share the link to this file for testing (along with both images), via sharewithai@adobe.com
Please also provide the link to this report in the email, so the team can track it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931885/suggestions/46484941
I can assume something is going on with profiles mismatching and settings the app use to treat images like this. Perhaps you can workaround this by resaving the images in another format, and/or with a different color profile embedded. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Hard to advise anything here :(
Except maybe try to package the file and send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com, for the team to investigate it and test out.
If you do so, please add the link to this report, so that they can track it — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46483891
Also provide the exact specs of your system, as full as possible.An error occurred while saving the comment Jimmy, does it happen with a particular document, or for any document at all?
Is there a difference on how you scroll, with a mouse wheel or with the scroll bar of the panel? Do you scroll all the way through, or does it crash somewhere in the middle?
Did you send the crash report, or Ai never offered this?
What is the version you are using now?
The extension below feels like an overkill. Sure, this should be fixed, but the fastest workaround (although it requeues a habit) is to press Ctrl(Cmd)+Y twice, to toggle Preview mode. This is enough to trigger the 'dirty' status of the document.
Amazing... changing the mode, returning it to the one it used to be, is enough for 'changes!' flag, but updating a link — is not. Illustrator works in mysterious ways. And when it does not — even more mysterious...
