Slow and Laggy on Latest OS MacOS 15.2 Beta
While using the app since the OS update (15.2 Beta (24C5089c), selecting any items is very slow and often registered as a move instead of select, pretty unable. Also flagged with Apple in case its there side.

Very laggy zooming in and out using mouse scroll since versions 28.1
I'm on Windows 11, using the newly updated AI 29.0. This has been mostly my issue since AI 28.1 onwards. I've been using AI 28.0 without any problems, but I try out every new version to see if the issue will be resolved. I have a good internet connection (700++ Mbps). I think my system has more than the minimum requirements.
For AI 28.0 - both .AI and AIC (cloud) files can be zoomed in and out using mouse scroller without any problems.
For AI 28.1 - 29.0 - Locally saved .AI is somewhat laggy. Cloud saved .AIC has a…

Cannot paste screenshot without error "Not enough memory to place the file"
This started happening with the Illustrator 29, and I can confirm that I do not have this issue with the previous version of Illustrator. On Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1. When I take a screenshot to my clipboard and attempt to paste in illustrator, I receive the error "Not enough memory to place the file." If I drag the same screenshot from the desktop, it places the link fine and can be embedded fine. Thanks.

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.

Constant crashing - can't even move an object
Have updated my illustrator to the most recent version 29.1.
Using Mac OS Sequoa 15.1.1 - M1.
I would make changes, scroll to another section of my frame. Return back and my changes were then 'reverted'.
Every time I open the app it lags, spinning wheel of death, and all i'm doing is trying to maybe zoom in or out, copy or move an object.
I have reverted to old versions, reinstalled etc
It's a small file, good computer with heaps of memory.
Illustrator is basically unusable at this point and can't do my work. .

Massive Lag Issue
Every time I open Illustrator, it takes an enormously long time to load. It continues to lag when I'm in the file, working on it - every action requires a wait time, from moving an object to typing a word. This makes using illustrator a massive chore.
This happens to all files, even ones that are very simple - at most maybe 10 individual elements (images and text.) I have the creative suite, so all things are up to date. This issue does not happen with Photoshop or InDesign, which run perfectly, so it's clearly not a memory issue or…

Random delay when running script via command line
When you run a script via the command line, sometimes there is a pause between launch and execution. The duration of this pause is always different.
It would be nice if there was no pause at all.

Animated Zoom not working properly - Blurry graphics when zooming or panning
I use animated zoom a lot, usually through the shortcut CMD+Space+Drag Mouse Left/Right.
I've been getting this bug of Blurry graphics for a couple of days, and it's really annoying. My current workaround is using Tab after image turns blurry, so the graphics "refresh" to its sharp state.

Slow selection, 2 seconds to appear delimited, object properties and transform
Hello, I hope you can help me.
I have a Mac Mini with 16gb of RAM.
3 days ago I got the following error. When selecting it takes 2 seconds to appear the information of the Properties and transformation of the selected objects as well as the delimiters.
This causes that when clicking on the object and moving the mouse the object moves, that is if you keep the click pressed.
Also when trying to select several objects everything moves.
At my work I have a Mac mini with chip M1 and this does not happen, I uninstalled Illustrator and…1 vote -

Illustrator 2024 keeps crashing, no crash report, no recovery files
I've been using Illustrator on my desktop since 2019, I haven't changed anything on my setup in terms of hardware or software. Illustrator was working perfectly fine up until lately (within the last 2 months). I've worked on large files and multiple files with heavy memory loads perfectly fine. But now, I can barely have two Illustrator documents open without it crashing. A crash report doesn't pop up and it doesn't save my recovery files even though I have that function enabled. I have one document open right now, it only has two photos and a shape with a gradient,…

I'm tired. Tools occasionally don’t work, artboards don’t get edited, links don’t hold.
My illustrator since I downloaded it has been very bad, at the moment it is buggy and does not let me edit the artboards, I even had to restart my PC. The bug happens with all the tools and just with the passing of the hours it fixes itself, but I'm tired. I can't even add images or screenshots because it doesn't leave me when it's in that state, it's not my computer, it's a very good computer and I can't say it's because I'm doing something wrong. Simply out of nowhere some tool does not work or the application…

App freezes when battery is low
The app freezes when the battery on my MacOS laptop gets low. However, it freezes in such a way that MacOS doesn't realize that the app is frozen.
