An error occurred while saving the comment When you edit a text, Illustrator goes into dedicated text mode.
Some keys in this mode don’t act like they normally do. The most obvious example — actual letters, they just get typed. Same goes for Spacebar — instead of panning, it inputs spaces! But an ability to pan a document was so important to users (before middle click pan was introduces especially), that an additional way to access Pan was added, a long time ago. Opt/Alt while editing text indeed enables Pan temporarily.This can’t be changed, and the intended way of dealing with this is to commit the changes we make with either Escape or Cmd/Ctrl + Enter, or just use another ways to zoom out, like Cmd/Ctrl + Minus, or Alt + Scroll — these don’t interfere with input, like Space.

An error occurred while saving the comment I wonder, why would you need to scroll trough them at all? Do you need to access a specific one that it at the very bottom of the dropdown list?
What got broken for you exactly 4 years ago, and how specifically? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator never changed the way scaling works, it’s what Photoshop tried to impose at some point. Now it can be changed back with a dedicated option in Preferences > General: Use Legacy Free Transform.
As for the 'change tools back to old way' — what do you mean specifically? The classic toolbar is still available for us, and we can enable it via Window > Toolbars > Advanced. Or did you mean something else?

An error occurred while saving the comment Both Inside and Outside modes for stroke generate dynamic hidden compound paths using Offset algorithm, which fails at extra small values.
This is clearly a bug!
Another report, about Offset specifically, exists: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/39425959
Would you mind me merging these two, since the nature of the problem is the same? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Thorne, I had no troubles by making the result I think you wanted... see GIF 1.
But the images you show are most probably done with some other approach. What did you do to get the result in image 2?...oh, I see. Most probably you used Shape Builder tool, correct? ...see GIF 2.
Here the result would be two identical shapes layered on top of each other (it makes sense once you analyze how it works, but doesn’t from the goal you have, I know).
This still does not explain the strange garbage points you got... that’s why I asked for a video.An error occurred while saving the comment @Thorne, can you please share the test file with the object you are having problem with and a video depicting the problem?
An error occurred while saving the comment @Ben, this is the limitation of the method the team used to implement round corners. Ai has to keep the minimal distance between these two points to let it see both arcs as separate entities.
You can check this yourself (or look at the GIF I attached) — If there is only one anchor point instead of two, Ai sees it as one corner only, made for a very specific curve.
Sure, this method should be revised, and I strongly suggest making it a separate request, instead of just a comment under the mostly unrelated one. Please do!
Meanwhile you can use a commercial plugin to work with these, Dynamic Corners by Astute Graphics. As far as I know, they use a different principle to detect corners, and the endpoints get really merged into one automatically.An error occurred while saving the comment Cam’s solution will work for a single path only.
If your object has several gaps and not one, this Unite will close each path, instead of connecting gaps. And you don’t need to select points for that, just select the path as a whole and hit Unite.Object > Path > Join connects the closest gaps, with a straight segments, first all of them but the largest, and close the path with the second operation. It has it uses, can be applied to a path selection too, but also to a pair on points — only one pair, and only a valid pair.
A less known Average and Join commands welds two selected points.Join tool would be another option to close gaps, with a sharp intersection of two curved or straight segments (it depends on a possibility). Unfortunately this tool can’t be automated, lacks proper feedback, options, and is very specific.
Another solution would be to use a paid plugin from AstuteGraphics suite, Connect tool. It build a new smooth segment between. The feedback is excellent, there are some options, results are almost better than stock Join, but it also can’t be automated and assigned to a hotkey.
I assume there is a mix of different 'merge', 'join', 'unite', 'connect', 'weld', etc. terms happened. The original topic started never explained exactly what they wanted, and everybody else talked about different things.
Perhaps we never know what was the original request :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Julie, do you mean GRIDS or GUIDES? Reading the text I see you talk more about grids ('customizable colors instead of gray'). At the same time you call them 'guidelines', and talk about matching a layer, as if each layer can have its own set. So — grids or guides?

An error occurred while saving the comment This request reminds me of one particular script made by Katja Bjerrum, PageIndexer. Does not the thing you want either, but perhaps you can contact her as commission one?
An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting... Feels like a very custom tailored workflow for me, but I see the usefulness in some workflows.
I bet a custom script can be made that puts this time stamp on the current artboard, and then updates it if one exists already. Perhaps it should be out in a dedicated layer also. Would you use such a solution? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Sandy, do you still have the problem?
Can you please check what OS scale factor you have chosen in Windows’ Display Settings (right-click the desktop to access it in the menu), in Scale and Layout section? Is it more than 100%? Does it change when you set it to 100? -

An error occurred while saving the comment It seems like this happens with ligatures only, like 'fi'... Ai replaces them with a joined glyph, but it fails to get written into the PDF, it seems.
Does it still happen? What font were you using specifically? Can you share a test file if you still can reproduce it?

I wonder if the latest versions behave any better? The team made a lot of changes to how zoom works in these two years.
