Hi Everyone, This feature has been available since August 2020 release (version 24.3). Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html Thank you for all the feedback.
You can now select multiple layers in Layers panel. Click the bars (they get highlighted blue) if you want to operate layers and not their content (e.g. to drag to reorder) or click their markers to select their content — circle (target ones) or square (selection ones) next to them. There is no real difference which to pick, but if you want to select a range of layers, using Shift, use target markers.

An error occurred while saving the comment I try this on Windows 10 using 30.0 and Beta, doesn’t seem to happen (AICB is enabled, SVG is not, I try to paste into Inkscape).
Interesting... perhaps it’s OS-specific. Franz, does it apply to paths only, or type objects are also affected? -

To check this, try to create an artboard larger than 6000 mm — if Ai allows this, you have a document with an internal scaling coefficient (Ai warns about it with a ⚠️ when a document like this is created, but not alter).
Brushes are known to misbehave with the mode, as reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/41713246
Also, please attach a test document with both brushes used.An error occurred while saving the comment A similar problem, but with mesh envelope distortions:

An error occurred while saving the comment However, I can’t confirm this problem to not exist in versions prior to 2023.
26.5.2 shows the same behaviour.Upon investigation, I see that the brush you are using is a giant path, 98.0938 inches long and 5.3154 inches tall, in the document’s units.
However, the scale option chosen for the art brush is 'Stretch to Fit Stroke Length'. So it means that Illustrator should maintain the 5.3154 height of it (that it a width or 'weight' of the stroke) across the line, which is not the case nor in 2022, neither in 2023 versions!
If we rebuild the same giant brush in an much older version, such as CS6, Illustrator maintains the original height of the artwork used — as intended.
So it’s not 2023 got broken, but 2022 before it!This needs further investigation.
Meanwhile — what was the latest version you say you were able to use this specific 'fat brush' succefully? Are you sure in that? It can’t be 2022.An error occurred while saving the comment DG, thanks for the file.
I confirm this issue. -

We are no longer hearing about this issue. Let us know if you are still running into it with latest Illustrator versions.
An error occurred while saving the comment Steen, please say a bit more about your setup. How large are your displays? Do you use application frame? Which screen has Ai in it? All you say to help the team to try to reproduce it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Not sure it’s fixed... here, I expect the part 'hyphenated' in the 'pre-hyphenated' complex word to be broken according the set rules, after 'hyphen-', not 'hy-' — it’s just 2 characters, while I set it to 4. The preplaced hyphen is not preferred when the text area is made even smaller.
I check the original file supplied (here it is in the comment), and the bug is still there, no matter what I try to change.

Expected to be fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.64, now availibale in CCD.
Please try to update and see if this is really fixed.
An error occurred while saving the comment This now works as it should, but the history step is just called with general 'Typing', and it doesn’t add clarity. Compare it with something like Microsoft Word, where the step is called 'AutoFormat' — still a broad name, but much easier to spot!
Plus, Word offers to undo the auto-formatting right there in text when typing with a widget... and it offers a way to disable it completely right THERE.
Ai’s solution is rather blunt and cheap and lacks elegancy in this current form. Please make it better.An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps you’d be also interested in these two related problems:
1. Enter while typing does not get recorded in history as an Undo step
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/470383212. Pressing Backspace in text gets recorded in History as a chain of separate Clear steps

An error occurred while saving the comment Anun, I see.
Illustrator does not treat the auto bullets as a separate Undo step... The whole type operation you make is considered to be one step in the History.
It is different from how Word and Google Docs do it, so I agree it should match with others.

An error occurred while saving the comment Ven, 'previous versions' — which one did you mean?
I tested it with CS4 and I see no border missing in an empty layer (check the screenshot please). The only difference I see is the '>' arrow symbol...
I do however remember a difference with the border, but it was about the opacity of an object... can you provide more info? screenshots? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ollie, when it happens to be missing — does it stay missing for a particular type-on-path object indefinitely? Reopening the doc, restarting Ai, no difference?
Can you share a simple test file that behaves like this for you (ideally with some standard font used)?
Does it happen in 30.3 only, or are you using an older build? Which build doesn’t have it? Have you tried Beta? -

Dithered gradients are now available in the latest 30.0 general build.
Toggle the option in the Gradient or Control panels.
Read more about it in this help article.
As stated there, important notes are:
- Dithered gradients follow the resolution set in Document Raster Effect Settings. In fact, this dithering is a raster-based effect, same as Gaussian Blur. It should stay live as long as you keep Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option enabled (be mindful of this when you save your work in a PDF).
- Dither at the moment works only with gradient fills, not strokes
- Gradients added to CC Libraries don’t support Dither — PDF format know nothing about dithered gradients as a concept, it’s something only Ai does
Note also, that some clipboard managers or extension would interfere in copy/pasting these, similar to how it happens with perceptual gradients, as reported here.
Please test it and comment…
An error occurred while saving the comment We got the dithering for linear and radial gradients, but not 'freeform' ones:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/51229009
Please upvote this if this is something you’d like to have.If you are not happy with how the dithering currently works — please comment or create a report.
Also, you might want to need a fractal noise gradient: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49196615 (and different vector fills in general)
An error occurred while saving the comment Many things can change, yes...
Again, it’d be hard to compare anything without the actual file on hands.
You can either share the part of it here in comments, or send privately to sharewithai@adobe.com, so the team can investigate.
In this case, put the link to this report in the text of the email, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49136090An error occurred while saving the comment Tímea, to me this 'flaky' look seems absolutely normal for an art layered with gradients with blending modes applied. Illustrator supports only 8bit to blend these, and some banding is inevitable. But you say CS6 was able to pull it off, and it’s strange... can you share a fragment of your file, large enough to make a comparison? Do you compare it using the same machine, the same display, the same OS, or you claim it just based on your memories of it being smoother?
An error occurred while saving the comment Andrea, it looks like the gradient has too little difference between colors in stops, therefore banding happens... and Ai just can’t make the transition smooth because there is literally not enough colors to fill the distance.
Can you please share the test file with this gradient in it, just to verify it? Nothing else, just the object filled with the gradient.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment What do you expect? :)
You have only 5 steps over this big distance, of course it's blocky. And it will print as such, until your RIP can add some noise to prevent banding.An error occurred while saving the comment I know exactly what Raster Effects settings do, thanks, lowering it down is not the way — I still have to remember boost it up, when exporting final images. If AI could have a display quality slider, as Indesign has, that would help a bit though.

An error occurred while saving the comment Becca, do you work with cloud or local documents?
Do you have 'Save in Background' option enabled in Preferences > File Handling?
Was it working better in builds before 30.3?
I have no idea why the team chose to use specialized Target Appearance round markers and NOT the intended square markers to allow select the range with Shift. This teaches a bad lesson, making users think these round markers/buttons are meant to select objects, while it’s just a side-effect of targeting these to receive new appearance. This makes users believe they Select All in a layer when they click its target marker — and this leads to common 'all my stuff in layer has the same fill'.
My only guess is that that the actual selection markers/buttons, square ones, are basically invisible unless clicked (or objects get selected on canvas).
Anyway — Ai HAS to support selecting ranges with the PROPER markers as well as it does with the improper ones.
Also, notice how filtering Layers breaks this feature, allowing to target-select within uninterrupted range, as reported here:
Shift-clicking in Layers doesn't select range if filter is used
