Custom guides make Illustrator unusable when viewed as dots
I've made guides out of a large number of lines (forming an iso grid). This works fine as long as I am viewing the guides as lines, but when changing the view to Dots in settings, Illustrator get so slow that I can't even move around in the document. I am using Windows 10 version 26.1. I also have v25.4.1 installed and it is the same thing there.
Maybe it would be less performance demanding if we could set transparancy on guides instead of using dots?

Stability Issues
Illustrator is constantly crashing, I use Windows 10. I've been losing a lot of work because of it. I am forced to do the updates (can't use an older version) because I receive art from multiple artists and they all use the updated version, and the "older versions" can't open the newer version.... WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO FIX THIS???!!!

Copying and Constraining using keyboard shortcuts (Opt/Shift) is causing error sound
This version of Illustrator (26.1) on MacOS Monterey 12.3 is sporadically having problems with taking an object and using keyboard shortcuts to copy/constrain (option/shift). At seemingly random times when trying to copy an object with option held down or option/shift held down and dragging the object with the mouse, I am getting the error noise and then a rejection of what I was trying to do. It happens frequently throughout my workflow, but I'm not sure exactly what is triggering it. Sometimes I get the error noise when simply dragging an object around the artboard, but again seems totally random.

Preview of color selections (AI 26.0.2)
I am from Release of Illustrator, which the preview of color selections, if activated, does not allow me to enlarge over 1200%, because the screen becomes all gray. I tried in preferences> performance to activate and deactivate the GPU, without any change. I tried to trash all the preferences, without any change. I tried to uninstall Illustrator, without any change.

Delays and Sluggishness
For the 30+ years I've been using Adobe Illustrator, I don't think I have every really been bothered by the app or an update until last year. Now when you open AI, make a new file, or try to drag content around on a canvas or move the page around using the hand tool, the app is very lethargic and jerky. It is as if it is validating all actions by an online verification before any action is done. This really makes using the app frustratingly slow.

placing (linking) JPGs in illustrator makes files incredibly slow to work with
Often I create layouts that require linking JPG in my doc. Whenever there are multiple JPGs in my doc, the doc becomes very slow. I do not notice the same performance issue if the linked files are TIFs. This has been an issue for multiple versions of Illustrator.

Illustrator not effectively handling Windows Desktop Magnification
I have been having so many problems with Illustrator lately and just now realized that it is because of my UltraWide monitor and the fact that I have Windows Magnification set to 200%.
This is not being handled well in Illustrator. It's making the active area around a selected item way too big. I can be 100px off of the selected item and it still wants to rotate. I try to select a point and it's nearly impossible. If you look at all of the "tolerance" bug reports, I would be willing to bet they all deal with magnification levels…

Stuck in outline mode, there is a pop-up window that comes up saying "can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
Stuck in outline mode, there is a pop-up window that comes up saying "can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
I try to do something in Illustrator and that pop-up comes up and I can't do anything to fix it. This is making it impossible to get work done as I'm just stuck in outline mode, if I hit command Y nothing happens but the pop-up.

Very Slow
I just updated my MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019) to OS Monterey 12.2.1 and my Illustrator is CS 26.0.3. It is very difficult to use my files from last week. The cursor sits there spinning the beach ball, I'm seeing artifacts and artwork disappears, I can't even drag a simple pattern tile across my page. I use slightly complex artwork year in and year out as a product designer. But with the most current Mac update, something went wrong. I've rebooted, cleared my cookies, all the usual things. Please help!

Slow performance after selecting grouped layers
2020 Intel Mac, MacOS 12.2, Illustrator 26.0.2
Illustrator works fine until I multiple click, deep into an object layer. Once I see object properties the whole app starts to slow drastically. Scrolling, zooming, selecting objects are all delayed. The only solution is to restart the app and not accidentally click into the layers.1 vote -
object remaining after command z causing memory error message
I attempted to duplicate an artboard full of clipping masks and objects but afterwards, clicked command z. All quickly as unintended results. It left behind one box with transparency effect. every attempt to move this left behind object, caused the error "Can't move the objects. There isn't enough memory ID: -108"
Removing the objects seems to removed the problem.1 vote -
The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [TAdd]
The error makes all shortcuts useless, plus they can't even be edited nor does resetting preferences make any difference.

animated zoom malfunctions after placing images in illustrator
When I place files from photoshop into illustrator, the animated zoom malfunctions. It's still turned on in the preferences, but it just doesn't work. This has been a problem for several months. It doesn't have to be a .psd file, it seems to be any format (admittedly, I haven't tried every possibility). Running os 11.6 & & Illustrator 26.0–however, this started showing up in previous versions.
Yet another of hundreds of bugs that now plague this once great program. I'm tired of constantly using workarounds (that impede and drastically slow my workflow) to utilize illustrator. Not like it'll ever get…
