The problem is not fixed. As reported, the latest Beta build 28.5.26 resets preferences again. Please comment if you confirm this.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue, Illustrator team really appreciate this.
Unfortunately we are unable to reproduce this issue in house.
Can you help the Illustrator team to isolate this issue further so that we can nail this down?
1)Kindly provide small video describing the issue , Test file(Via File→Package) & Font with which you are able to reproduce this issue and share with us at ShareWithAI@adobe.com in a Zip file.Please mention the title of this issue as the subject of the mail.
Thanks and Regards

Illustrator TeamAn error occurred while saving the comment Here's what I have found: When I am looking for just the right apostrophe or comma or ligature or something, I often scroll through the GLyuph panel and look for resources in various fonts that I can use to get the look that I am going for.
When Illustrator reaches a font that doesn't have the core letters defined (symbol fonts, icon fonts, font-alternates), rather than skipping the font it can't render or rendering the character set that it CAN render, Illustrator just stops. This is really annoying.
Some examples would be Fork Awesome, a port of an old Font Awesome icon font. When I scroll through and get to Fork Awesome, it stops scrolling until I manually select a different font that it can display.
Oddly enough, clicking on the font will display the font with no problems, it's just when scrolling using the down arrow that the next font won't display and the scrolling stops.
Hope this clarifies the problem.

An error occurred while saving the comment Is it at all possible that the reason for the delay on some of these issues is that an entirely new interface is b being developed that is more like the web or iPad version? That would explain the lack of response on some of these issues.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
An error occurred while saving the comment Why isn't this fixed?
This post is 2 years old and it still doesn't work. There are 34 upvotes, what does it take to get this resolved? Could we at least get some acknowledgment that this is a priority?
I am losing all faith in Illustrator. You are so busy adding new "features" or previewing new technologies that you leave us with a faulty application. There is no excuse for this. It should have been fixed two years ago. It's a legitimate bug.
Please do something about it.
Anyone reading this, join me in starting a campaign to get people to come to this site and upvote this. Lots of people have this problem and it's a legitimate bug. If we push the votes to the top, maybe they will actually address this issue. It's been two years and this is ridiculous. Contact everyone you know. I'll post on Discord and Reddit and hopefully we can get some traction. Thanks.
An error occurred while saving the comment Shees, every time I said cursor, I meant pointer. That's rough.
Regardless, reading through the comments made be realize something. It has to do with Windows Magnification. I am using a 4k Ultra Wide monitor at 200% magnification. This is making the area that activates the rotate feature bigger than it should be. Somehow, they didn't compensate for the magnification in Windows.
When I drag Illustrator to a different monitor, the problem goes away.

An error occurred while saving the comment My consistent problem with this concept is that it is constantly in the way. I have to move it out of my way at least a dozen times every hour. And hopefully you are tracking the number of clicks it receives to tell if it is more useful than in the way. In other words, if you register a click event every time someone interacts with your floating context panel, you can separate the number of moves from the number of useful functions clicked. If people are having to move it more than use it or if people aren't using it, that's valuable feedback.
I would much prefer a collapsible side panel with all of the tool options as well as a portion of it for the most common predicted tasks. Sure, I'd have to mouse a little farther, but at least I am not losing my focus constantly having to drop what I was doing and move the thing so I can access the anchor points it's obscuring.

It is now obvious the issue was not fixed fully. The developers are aware of it now. Let’s hope it will be fixed soon enough.
If you have a solid order of steps which reproduce this behavior, share them in comments, because only some machines are affected. Please help the team to isolate it.
An error occurred while saving the comment This is actually a big problem with all panel values in Illustrator. There are standards that we comne to rely on when "selecting and focusing" input fields that are not being honored by illustrator.
For example, WHEN FOCUSING AN INPUT FIELD, select the entire contents of the field every time. DO NOT EVER INSERT THE INSERTION POINT where the person clicked, for example. ALWAYS SELECT ALL when activating a field.
This is true if you tab into the field, click to activate it, if it is activated by a third party plugin. ALWAYS SELECT THE ENTIRE CONTENTS of the field when activating a field.
I cannot tell you how many times a day I click the X field and type in my value, press tab, and have to deal with a modal dialog box telling me that it didn't understand. THIS IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA.
Either that or if I enter 45 and tab, it sometimes puts 45 in the middle of the previous X value. Now my artwork is at 3459px because it was 39px and I clicked it to make 45, but Illustrator inserted my cursor in the middle rather than selecting the content.
This is also a problem with units. Whatever the default units, keep them unless I specify differently. But if I don't specify units, you can rest assured that whatever I enter into that field will be using the default units.
This is probably my biggest complaint (or second biggest) with Illustrator. Devs need to implement industry standards for INPUT field UX. If I want to insert my insertion point in the middle of a value, I'll click a second time once the field is FOCUSED. That's how it is supposed to be done.

An error occurred while saving the comment All of Adobe products suffer from focus issues. But Illustrator is really bad when it comes to things like layers. The fact that you have a layers panel that you can select layers (without selecting the corresponding objects on the layers) is confusing and counter-intuitive. Usually, you click a layer to activate the content on that layer.
Adobe could fix both problems by introducing a "focus" feature that allowed to you "lock" in your focus on something.. So If I am editing a large tree with lots of fruits and leaves in the way, but I wan to focus on the tree branches, I would click a button on the control bar once I had the branch selected. This would force my focus to be on the branch.
With focus locked, selecting anchor points or handles would be a piece of cake. There would be no doubt that when you clicked anywhere near an anchor or handle, it would select the anchor or handle. You might even be able to allow multiple handles to be simultaneously selected when focused.
You could alt-click or right-click or click the toggle lock button in the control panel to return to mormal.
In our tree example, once you had the complicated branch selected, then you focused your selection, you could easily move even normally hidden anchors and handles because Illustrator would KNOW for sure that is what you intended. Otherwise, how could it tell that you wanted to grab that tiny handle and not the object in front of it?
You could even allow for people to grab and manipulate the handle bars. Instead of having to grab a handle, clicking anywhere on the bar that the handle was attached to would allow you to maintain the angle while moving the curve.
When in focused mode, the screen could be surrounded in Yellow, like when in isolation mode. Lots of things then would become possible. LIke offset dragging where you select your points then click and drag somewhere on your artboard to move the points relative and offset from your current position. (Like 3D apps occasionally do).
An error occurred while saving the comment I think this may have to do with screen magnification on my PC. I often can't grab a handlebar or a point on a path. Often, when trying to change the width of height of something, the cursor changes to indicate width or height, but the item rotates instead. The latest version eliminated all of these abilities without the transform tool active--which sucks. I think it is because I have a 38" curved monitor that I have to run at 175% to read the content on it. I don't think Illustrator has got that part figured out yet.

How difficult can this be to save the workspace settings in APPDATA or anywhere really? Perhaps you can make the settings exportable and importable. Then, when you update, at least we can re-import the workspace layout we depend on and have worked for hours to configure.
