Spinning wheel when switching between documents if something is selected in the document.
I've noticed that if an object is selected in any document then switching to that document will cause the spinning wheel of death for about 5-10 seconds. If nothing is selected then the switch will happen immediately, like it should do.

Clipping mask doesn't work correctly
Working is going slow even if on M1 pro MacBook.
And many other bugs...I think Adobe should leave to target end user/ ai works like express etc. and focus on creative people.
All the best...

Sometimes a selection cannot be canceled
Sometimes it is not possible to deselect a selected object - even if you lock the corresponding layer or take other measures to deselect it. In such cases, only restarting the application helps.
