The two main (new) problems I've seen in 12.3.3 so far are:
Wobbly/indecisive lane changes.... numerous times it'll put on turn signal, start to lane change, then either wobble between lanes for several seconds, or bounce back aborting the change then immediately start it again, sometimes taking 2-3 attempts to complete. I've seen this both with other cars around (confusing and annoying those cars) and even when there was nobody next to or behind me.
Addendum to above- it also seems to wait longer than I would to initiate changing into a correct lane for an upcoming turn (like if I'm on a 2-lane each way road and I know there's a left coming up in 1 mile, I wouldn't wait till the last 1/4 mile to get to the correct side.... 11.x usually didn't wait that long either, but 12 seems to.)
Other thing is weird yellow light behavior-- thrice now I've seen it when a light turns yellow briefly accelerate, then hard brake- one of those times it stopped me halfway across a crosswalk- not QUITE far enough forward to be dangerous but close- and AFAIK illegal too.
It also seems to still, at at least a couple intersections, act as if it's a 4-way stop when it doesn't have a stop sign (but the cross-lane does)-- but 11.x did that too.
The below-set-speed issue seems improved from 12.3 to 12.3.3 but definitely still not solved--- previously it'd drive like 10-15 below and if you tweak with accelerator it'd drop back down shortly after you lift off.... Now it'll drive like 5-7 below and if you accelerate up it seems to mostly stay there... scroll-wheeling set speed up 5-10 mph seems to be another alternative (it'll drive 5-7 below but that's about where you wanted it net).
The big 11>12 improvements overall so far I've seen are:
Better/smoother handling of roundabouts and non-90 degree intersections
Better acceleration after turns
Ability to do U-turns at all
11s tendency to dive into every new lane, even though it's often a turn lane turning/ending before needed or when I need to go straight, seems mostly fixed
That last being what was the most annoying thing about 11, just a shame that lane selection behavior is replaced by another, different, annoying one in 12.
