performance lag
panning around canvas is very slow, not fast as it should be.
Viewing file in outline line mode and then switching back seems to fix until a new document is opened and then software slows down again.
Hopefully will be fixed with an update.1 vote -

Moving paths very slow if not dragged at the center
Ex: Create a circle
click at the center of the circle with a selection tool and drag. The path moves fast as expected. But if click elsewhere on the circle and drag, the path moves very slowly.

2019 v23.0.4 running VERY Slow and doesn't function correctly
I am not sure what happened, but in the past week v23 has gone horribly wrong. I am not sure when exactly my computer updated to v23.0.4, but I'm sure that was the start to the problems.
When you first start the application, it seems to work just like it should, but then you give it a minute or load any sort of file, and it slows WAY down.
Even creating simple boxes on an artboard will cause it happen. If you drag and size a box, it may actually do that, or it will decided to ask you the…2 votes -
Issues running Illustrator 23.0.4 and OS Mojave 10.14.5 on a Mac
- Every time I move the cursor, instead of moving it it acts as if I had clicked and dragged, selecting an imaginary area.
- When I try to select an item, the cursor will not do it, so I click twice, then three times, and then - it finally selects, and sometimes catches up with a delay, clicking the second and third time and mucking the selection. I have reinstalled illustrator and went to the apple store to reinstall the OS, with no resolution. The system runs ok with other applications, shows issues with Photoshop as well and is slows when…

Random slow-downs opening or saving files
In AI 23.0.4 when opening a sequence of files there are random slow-downs and spinning beachballs for no obvious reasons, at random. Have un-installed and getting same issue with 23.0.3 and 23.0.2. Nothing about my system has changed since this has started and it's driving me mad.

Opening Graphic styles causes crashes of v23
Checking on status of incident (ADB-4515680-P0G2). Adobe has connected with my computer twice and we were able to replicate the "crash" or freezing of the program when the graphic styles were opened in Illustrator 23.01. I am currently using V22 when I need to use graphic styles.
Have the engineers made progress in determining the issue and developing a fix?

Key object selection mismatch
When I select two objects and choose the key object for allignment, the top allignment option shows the «Align to key object» and object gets highlighted, however if I go to the sidebar to introduce a spacing number it shows «Align to selection» instead and I need to change the option again. This is so frustrating.

laggy after placing linked files
When I place a JPG in my file (linked, not embedded), my Illustrator file becomes laggy. It lags when I pan across the file or zoom in and out and takes longer than usual to save the file. I've noticed this as a problem since the latest update of Illustrator.

Huge glitch
I'm working on a Windows 7 in Illustrator version 23.0.1
The very first time I opened the program the file had a big cutout in a triangular shape, and clicking anywhere on the document or even just moving the mouse around causes it to glitch further by adding random colours to the document and displacing the objects in the document.
After the first time this happened I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but that didn't work. I also just updated to the newest version of Illustrator today but that also didn't work.
Attached are screenshots of the glitches.

Direct Selection tool not working correctly after image trace
After using the image trace tool and selecting either high or low fidelity, sometimes the direct selection tool stops working correctly. Although you can still use it, it doesn't highlight the points when you actually click on an object. Once you create a new project it works but it stays broken in the old project forever.

Corner Radius / Scaling instead of select and drag
In previous versions of Illustrator dating back 30 years, I used to be able to group-select entire object, option-select an anchor point, and reposition the selected object by dragging it to a new place.
Now it has become hit-and-miss, usually I end up accidently radiusing corners or resizing the item, and having to undo and try again, often several times.1 vote
