   The fix is pushed into the latest Prerelease build (v29.8) and is scheduled to get shipped into the next general build. Please try the pre release or Beta builds and let us know your observations.

   To retain Millimetres as the default application-level Unit, try this:

   (1) Quit Illustrator.

   (2) Go to <user>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 22 Settings/en_US and delete "Adobe Illustrator Prefs" file.

   (3) Go to <user>/Library/Preferences/ and delete "com.adobe.Illustrator.plist" file (this is a legacy preferences file from older versions).

   (4) Illustrator should then retain any application-level preferences you choose.

   Regrettably, this does NOT fix the Units within the New Document dialogue box — all presets/templates keep defaulting to Points, despite Millimetres being the application-level preference. Adobe needs to fix this! :-(
