Should work in Beta 29.6.142 (oddly displayed as build 9999 in CCD). Please test!

Does everybody else have this only WITH Include Linked Files option checked?
Does it ever happen for you with this option disabled?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Clintisco, can you share the actual packaged .ai file, along with the linked images it uses, as well?
An error occurred while saving the comment What build exactly do you use?
An error occurred while saving the comment Oh... In this case, please open your template, use File > Package to collect it all into one folder.
Check if the problem is still replicating, then zip it, upload it to a file hosting of your choice, and send the link to download the archive to sharewithai@adobe.com
I understand it’d be the hassle, but I feel like it’s mandatory to share the project with the team, so they can study it.
Thank you so much for your time spent on this!An error occurred while saving the comment Another question — are these clipped?
An error occurred while saving the comment Ugh, this looks irritating :(
Does it happen with linked files only, or also with embedded ones too? or only embeds?
If these are links, does the file type matter? Like, perhaps, it happens only with PSDs, or PNGs?
Does it happen ALL the times you reopen this specific file? Can you reproduce this from scratch, using the same images?
Do you see any relation for the distance it gets shifted?An error occurred while saving the comment Ines, can you reproduce this behavior in anew file, to see it it’s a single document problem or a larger than this one?
Not sure I can reproduce this... -

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, true!
Even if I have a specific color stop selected, double-clicking the fill/stroke in a tool panel would open Color Picker set to black (and in case of a CMYK document, it’s rick black I couldn’t care less... even if I have accurate blacks set in Preferences > Appearance of Black...)I’d appreciate if the Color Picker would have respected the selected gradient stop, but also allowed me to force setting the fill to a flat color right there in the Color Picker dialog, if needed.

Pathfinder section in Properties appears only when more than one object is fully selected. If you need to see Pathfinder in all cases, including having only one point selected, like in this case, — use the dedicated Pathfinder panel instead.
Illustrator doesn’t offer a way to customize Properties or lock specific sections. If this is something you need — please upvote this request.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oh yes, Brendan, you are right!
Than it’s the reason. The Pathfinder section in Properties requires to have more than one object selected... and to have them fully selected :)Even though the full Pathfinder panel has no problem working with any selection, the Properties panel tries to offer tools and options in context... it can’t house ALL the panels Ai has, so it assumes users would not need pathfinding in a case like this.
An error occurred while saving the comment Darrin, how many object do you have selected when you check?
The Pathfinder section in Properties only shows up if you have more than one object selected.
Please check and comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I can confirm the behavior with the file shared and the steps provided.
In my test I tried to hide all layers but 'Under', 'Green Areas', 'Hydrology' sublayer (within 'Site Plan' top layer), to match the look the first screenshot has.
Then I used Export As, PNG, with Use Artboards option checked, with Transparent Background Color chosen (doesn't' matter).
The exported result has the contents from 'Site Plan::Building Footprints' sub-sub-layer visible (inside of the 'Buildings' sublayer), the same way the second screenshot shows it.The I tried to remove layers, one by one, checking what still makes these building appear. I also tried to remove layer-level appearances applied, objects, checking as I go.
This way I was able to distill this file into a minimum of the elements — take a look at the attached file and verify you have the same behavior with it, and the hidden magenta square in 'Site Plan::Building Footprint' appears when you try to export.
Also please confirm that deleting anything (layers, even empty ones, the drop shadow the magenta square has, etc.) makes the hidden rectangle vanish in an exported image.That’s a very good catch, Miguel. Thank you — and I admire your patience with this map.
An error occurred while saving the comment Miguel, if the problem is localized in this file, but it’s too large to get attached here, you can try to upload it to a temporary hosting service of your choice and share a link here (or send it directly to sharewithai@adobe.com for the team to review.
Another method (time consuming) would be stripping portions of the document apart, testing it in stages. Perhaps you don’t need to have all the stuff in all the layers to trigger the bug? Anyway, without the file it’s impossible to investigate. How large is it?An error occurred while saving the comment Miguel, do you mean Export As or Export for Screens method?
Can you share the specific file you are having this problem with? Can you reproduce this problem with a file created from scratch? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mackenzie, I suspect you are not using the correct Offset here...
Judging by the screenshot, you have Effect > Path > Offset Path applied to the shape, and not the Object > Path > Offset Path.
Am I correct? These differ. The effect modifies the original path as a live alteration, and the latter adds a copy of the original path.
Please check and comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment You mean during a session or after relaunch? I’ve just checked if these stay the way I set them (both enabled and disabled) when the app is restarted, and these hold...
I have to mention the options in Preferences ARE the same options as in the Scale dialog!
So once you enable or disable one in a dialog, it gets toggled in Preferences as well (and vice versa). Same goes for options in the Transform panel. Is this what is happening, or is it something else?
Please check and reply, perhaps it’s something else and I mistranslated the report. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Thumbnails for .ai (and .psd) files have been broken for many years on Windows:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41767534Since a third-party solution to make these display again exists (mentioned in comments), I bet Ai team can fix it as well.
An error occurred while saving the comment And why not on Windows as well?

It’s dangerous to call things Smart... When they behave dumb, the name sound like an insult. Sadly, this is the case.
Please provide more specific cases, with video proofs, ask you colleagues to share and vote, to move this further. This is the way to force changes to things that are broken — be vocal and persistent. Thank you all and let’s hope we get heard.
An error occurred while saving the comment @O Nate, do you have this option checked in Preferences?
An error occurred while saving the comment Not really. Smart Guides require much deeper refinement than just fixing this one problem, and nobody in the team is at for now, I think... Should check.
So far I can advise to ditch using smart guides for artboards, and make rectangles instead, followed by Object > Artboards Convert to Artboards command (I have in on Ctrl+F5). Actually, it’s been my proffered way for creating these since day one of having multiple artboards... I know, a workaround, but an efficient one).
An error occurred while saving the comment Yep
An error occurred while saving the comment I agree with all the statements below.
The way smart guides snap to objects beyond the view or to a random (for us) picked point is maddening.
The video shows the exact reason I prefer creating new artboards with a set of custom made scripts and hotkeys.
Thank you all for pushing this. I very much hope to force some good changes, when smart guides problem is put on the table.An error occurred while saving the comment If you still have this issue, please provide a document that behaves like this for you and a video demonstrating the issue.
'It's been better in older days' is not enough to replicate the problem, and there are a lot of ways to use Illustrator.
Please, help to track it down. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Recently Astute Graphics developed a plugin tool that does exactly this, called Inflate Deflate tool: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/colliderscribe/inflate-deflate-tool
It provides similar but different method, and won’t allow precise numeric operations.
The scripts mentioned below and the old-reliable Scale + Transform Each combo still work as an alternative.But yeah, an ability to just grab the handle of the bounding box with Space held and drag it to alter the space, like InDesign does, would be great...

An error occurred while saving the comment There are two scripts you can use to workaround this:
https://sysys.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/96/
https://sysys.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/132/
Both are free, both are for Illustrator (don’t trust the type one has). Don't be afraid of the Japanese, they are both translated into English.
There are minor flaws (they always 'use preview bounds', which makes it less useful for stroked objects), but they can help you in many cases.An error occurred while saving the comment InDesign has this, and I really would like to have this in AI also:

An error occurred while saving the comment 'to these settings' — you mean those with 'Appearance'-s checked? Then it’s strange. If it ever happens again, please isolate both the source and the target objects into a file, make sure the bug is reproducible there, and share it here for studying.
An error occurred while saving the comment Brendan, this parameter (gradient stroke alignment) is considered as a part of 'complex' appearance by Illustrator (same as arrowheads, but not the same like dashes). The only way to make the Eyedropper sample these is to open the tools’ options (hit Enter with the tool picked or double-click the tool icon), and check both Appearance options in both columns. But this 'advanced' mode requires some attention — for example, if you then pick an appearance from a single object while having a group selected, this picked appearance will apply to the group at the top level, and not the the group's children — and without the Appearance panel opened and monitored it can be hard to notice sometimes.
But perhaps I am wrong with my assumption and something strange happens instead... can you please experiment with these more and come back with your findings?

Ton, the problem with OPACITY masks is a different report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49690523
This one is about CLIPPING masks — and it seems to be fixed in the Beta.
These are related, of course... strange it wasn’t fixed at the same time.
