Illustrator 2023 (27) Crashes When Moving/Dragging
All versions (27 on) have been crashing when I try to drag/move a group or selection of items. This seems to happen more when I am moving in small increments or if I'm zoomed in, but can happen when I am zoomed out and moving a larger distance as well. Any attempt to drag items from one area to another seems to cause a crash! I have been using Illustrator 27.2, on a 64GB M1 Max MacBook Pro, running Ventura 13.1. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet that is updated to the latest drivers.

Illustrator 27 (last version) crashes
Illustrator crashes after some minutes of use without any apparent reason. I have run any possible thing to solve it. I am just drawing with my wacom tablet, the same I have done for the last 3 years. The files are usually partially recovered, but there is no error name or code displayed.

Wacom is crashing Illustrator 2023
It crashes within in minutes. It will crash while selecting a tool, moving the screen, or trying to use a tool--any function using a Wacom. There is rarely a crash report and often it's not even open long enough for the 2 minute autosave to kick in. I'm on a pc with Windows 10 and 27.2 cc.

Rendering complicated files on MAC requires CPU rather than GPU
Something is wrong with GPU rendering.
My old iMac (27" 2016) used to have rendering issues with larger/complicated files. For example, using the HAND tool and moving around, sections would not render/refresh.
I thought, well it's an old machine the GPU must be dying.Then i got a new MacBook M1 MAX with 64GB Memory.
And I still often see rendering issues and need to switch to CPU.

Illustrator 2023 performance issues in Windows 11
This performance issue often occurs when I open Illustrator and Photoshop at the same time, making my PC perform extremely slow and lagging. it's enough to make me feel annoyed while working.
I've tried reinstalling Illustrator and Photoshop, changing the graphics performance for the Illustrator & Photoshop app to "High Performance", updating the latest GPU driver, cleaning temporary files, updating windows to the latest stable 2H22 version. but the result is that the performance issue is still not fixed.
additional information I use hardware: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, RAM 32GB DDR4, SSD NVMe M.2 500GB, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti,…

Illustrator is freezing
It's been 2 weeks that illustrator keeps freezing. I have updated, uninstalled/reinstalled the app, and still does the same thing. I'm working on a file and once I want to save, the app freezes and I can't do anything about it, no button works or anything and I'm unable to save as every time I save that's when it happens.
I see my page/work but can't touch anything, the only way to get out is to Force quit from the task manager.
Really need this to be resolved as I use illustrator everyday for work and can't save any of…2 votes -
Illustrator 26.2.1 LAGS on EVERYTHING. Unusable.
System Version: macOS 11.6.5 (20G527)
Illustrator 26.2.1
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac18,3
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 4.2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
Memory: 64 GBFor no reason that I can tell, Illustrator has suddenly become totally unresponsive. I can't do ANYTHING. Even trying to resize the interface window results in a 30-second-long storm of flickering diagonal arrows cursor. No menu item can be selected without an unusably long lag.
I have reset preferences, restarted Illustrator, restarted the machine altogether, switched wifi networks, the whole shooting match. I use Illustrator…

Can't Save AS!!!!!
When I try to SAVE or SAVE AS. Nothing happens. This is a random bug just pops up randomly.
It won't let me save or even save as. When I click Save As the finder box doesnt open so I can't do anything.
I'd have to force quit so that AI thinks it crashed then pray that I get my recovered document when I open it up again.
FIX THIS PLEASE.

v26.5 on Mac OSX is very slow, generally.
v26.x is generally way slower than v25.4.8, but some features, like freeform gradient, are unusably slow. It takes couple of seconds to recalculate even a simple gradient with just 3-4 points. Same goes with applying wariable width stroke profile to multiple objects or a nested group. In 25.4.8 those tasks are instantaneous, in 26.5 they can even cause "spinning beach ball of doom" and take minutes to resolve.

Slow performance / undesirable switch to CPU preview
Operating system: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Illustrator: 26.5When turning on rulers or editing the artboard, Illustrator switches to CPU preview, which is very slow.
After closing and reopening the file, the gpu preview is active. (If i don't save the file with rulers turned on)

Menu windows eventually are inoperable
Usually once per day my file menu windows become inoperable, they are completely white. This has only started happening since the most recent update. The only way out of it is to shut down. It doesn't even let me save. I'm running Windows 11 and the version is 26.4.1.

Delay from keyboard causes unnecessary errors
I've reported this in the past, and I'm shocked and frustrated that nothing has been done to resolve it: There is a delay between when a button is pressed on my keyboard and when Illustrator registers it. As someone who has used this application for over 20 years, I'm very fast. As a result, when pressing (for example) the OPTION key in order to do anything (like changing the direct selection tool to the Group Selection tool) it takes an additional half of a second for Illustrator to register the change. Considering the speed at which I work, this means…

Strange lag when opening files in Illustrator and Lightroom is running in the background
When Lightroom is running in the background I am experiencing a lag when opening files in Illustrator. It takes about 40 seconds for the file to come up in Illustrator, even with smallest files.
Had this issue for a long time now and with X versions of Illustrator in the past.
- Keep lightroom running parallel to illustrator
- Open File (double click or from the menu)
- Blank file pops up and stays freezed for an amound of seconds
File opens completely
PC, Windows 10 pro 21H2, last X Versions of Illustrator
More strange: When I send Lightroom to a systray icon…

Illustrator is incompatible with Windows 11 sleep mode
My Windows 11 laptop (Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360) heats up and excessively drains battery when Illustrator is open and the laptop has been put into sleep mode. My laptop heats up even more while been plugged in and in "sleep mode" with illustrator open. These issues has forced me to use the hibernation mode for example during commuting.

Space + drag navigation bug after sleep on M1
The space + drag navigation stops working in almost all Adobe programs after I wake up my M1 Macbook Pro from sleep on macOS 11.5.2. So I have to restart the system.
Thanks in advance for the help!

線幅プロファイルが付加されたパスに対するブレンドを指定すると表示に時間がかかる。
Illustrator 26.3.1
OS macOS10.15.7(Intel)/Windows10問題の説明:
線幅プロファイルが指定されたパス同士をブレンドした場合、再描画に相当な負荷がかかります。アクティビティモニターで確認するとCPU負荷が90％を超え、その状態が数秒続きます。その間Illustrator上ではレインボーカーソルが回り続けます。
なお、ver.25.4.1ではこの様な表示パフォーマンスの問題はありませんでした。再現手順:
1.直線をペンツールで２つ作成し、それぞれに線幅プロファイルを指定する。
2.そのパスに対してブレンドを指定しステップ数255とする。
3.意図通りの表示となるが、描画完了までに数秒かかりレインボーカーソルで待たされる。実際の結果:
微調整の為にアンカーポイントを移動したり線の設定などを変更するたびに数秒待たされる。期待された結果:
プロファイルを付加したパス同士のブレンドに対するパスポイントの調整でも以前のバージョンのようにスムーズに編集できる。回避方法:
パフォーマンスの問題のようですから、再描画が完了するまで待つか以前のバージョン（2021）を利用するしか無いようです。※添付のベンチマーク用データではシンボルの編集終了から通常の編集画面に戻るまでに１分近くを要します。

Illustrator 26.3.2 lags when wifi turned on
Illustrator 26.3.2 on MacBook Pro, 2019, 2.3GHz 8-core i9, RAM: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, Graphics: Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB. When wifi is turned on, performance is very laggy. Every few actions of the mouse, the screen/cursor skips and freezes, beach ball briefly appears, then back to normal after about 5 seconds.
When wifi is turned off, app works fine. I installed the previous version and it works fine so far with wifi on.
