I have Illustrator 29.4 here. CC shows it as up-to-date. It still doesn't work as it should IMO.
1. select only certain vertices with Direct Selection tool
2. use the Move dialog to enter numeric translation values; validate
3. hit Undo: the partial selection is lost (partially selected objects become entirely selected)Or am I missing something?
NOTE: the partial selection is not lost when UNDOing after click-dragging the vertices (not using the Move dialog) to translate them. But who does any serious work like that? :)

Thanks for the news! Sorry -- what is the GA build? The build from Georgia? :)
Also I wouldn't qualify the step as "huge". A step forward for sure.

Ah Egor, nice to see we're on the same page. Now I've learnt by your demonstration that the order of pressing Alt changes the end result of the operation, which is nice, thanks for that. But, as you mention, the "re-clicking" for sought-after direct selection is unavoidable. Thus, I too find that the demand for selection conservation still stands.
To sum it up: this modification of selection is both unasked for and counter-intuitive.

Here is a video demo of what I mean.
EDIT: actually, the fact of holding alt turns the Direct Selection Tool into the regular Selection Tool. Try this:
1. have an unselected path ready
2. engage the Direct Selection Tool
3. hold Alt
4. click and drag one vertex (point)
5. the whole path is selectedBeing able to immediately duplicate only a portion of a path with Click-Alt-Drag in Direct Selection mode is something I would find very useful.

Another instance of this loss of selection is, again while using direct selection:
1. I need to draw a number of straight segments and all have one end at the same position in space
2. I draw the first one and deselect it
3. theoretically, I could just use the direct selection tool and alt-click-drag one end point to duplicate it, and repeat
4. but this isn't possible, because immediately after duplication, the other point is automatically selected, and then alt-click-dragging applies to the entire segment, not just one endI need this very often and Illustrator makes it a pain, where it could be so much more practical. And I cannot see the advantage with the way it's working right now.

Do you mean this? If yes, then it works.

As in title. See screenshot. Transparency here at 50%, using 100% changes nothing.

Beta Build 29.6.142 now partially supports Gradient Tool snapping with Smart Guides enabled, but for the starting point only at the moment. Snapping to grid is not supported as well, and gradient stops won’t snap at all. There is no dedicated option for the tool to control the behavior as well.
If you noticing anything else while testing this (please do!) — kindly make a comment.

This must absolutely be added. All gradient controls should snap to anything a regular vertex can snap to. This is the only way to precisely adjust gradients to specific geometries. I think this describes the requirement quite well... :)

It's one of those seemingly small things which should have been available since CS2... :)

This is a constant exasperation and I can't see how much of a programmatic challenge it is that it's still not addressed FIVE YEARS later.

As per the comment, go to 'Preferences > User Interface > Share Button' and select 'Match Brightness' — it will no longer appear blue.
To achieve the same in Photoshop, try toggling 'Neutral Color Mode' in 'Preferences > Interface'.
If you still wish to just have it gone for good — please upvote this separate request.

Correct. I've tried on Illustrator v29.4 on OS X latest and v29.1 on Windows 11. Same results (partial selection lost when UNDOing transformation executed through Move dialog).
