Previewing Mid-High Complexity files incredible Sluggish - Losing time and money
So this has become tottally unnaceptable adobe.
For the price we pay monthly, it's unnaceptable that the engine used for rendering is so primitive in comparison with one used on other (more cheaper) software such as Affinity Designer.This should be one of the features you should be focusing more.
In this thread i mentioned that since some versions of ILLUSTRATOR, the same designs i had years ago, started working more and more sluggish when previewing. And no matter the HW upgrades, it's the same. (i prefer how i worked on these 3-4 years ago)

GPU performance issues on Mac mini with second display attached
I am having problems with GPU performance on my Mac mini (Apple M2, 16GB) with two displays attached.
For example, when I move an object by using the arrow keys in quick succession, the artwork often does not refresh correctly. If I wait a while (sometimes about half a second) or press any key (e.g. the space bar), the artwork will update.
Disconnecting the second display, resolves the problem. Also using the CPU to preview solves it.
After further investigation, I found that it was not just the second monitor that was causing the Illustrator preview to stutter: I am…

Artwork moves separately from its artboard when Undo is called
when you move an artboard and have 'move artwork with artboard' checked in the properties panel (and in preferences) everything works going from point A to B. Unfortunately when you want to undo your work and use the key command 'command z' the artboard moves back to its' original location but the artwork does NOT. you have to use 'command z' several more times for the artwork to reposition itself to its original position. This makes no sense. why are 2 items that were moved at the same time in one pass not reposition themselves (back to pt. A) in…

Can't access any of the toolbar elements since Updating to new Mac OS
When I click on any of the elements in the left-hand toolbar nothing happens except sometimes it pulls me out of Illustrator entirely, as if I clicked on the desktop. Also the cursor appears to be off by an full inch. I don't if that issue is related, but I only started having these issues after I updated my computer to the latest Mac OS two days ago. Can you please let me know when this will be fixed. I have clients waiting for designs and I can't create anything in Illustrator at the moment. (Checked and Illustrator is up…

Cursor indicator jumps from linked text boxes
When I try to move the cursor between text in linked text boxes, the cursor instead jumps to the first text box. This is seen particularly when selecting a space in the text, or when trying to move the cursor to the front of a text line within a linked text box.

Dash offset defined by a negative strokeDashOffset value is not respected when a stroke is outlined
Illustrator has a strokeDashOffset property that sets the indentation of the first stroke in the dashed line.
It works when specified through the script, but there is no similar field in the interface of dashed line settings, i.e. it looks like a hidden functionality. It’s still legal and it works, but at the same time, a dashed line created with this parameter cannot be outlined correctly using standard Illustrator tools when the value is negative.
It's a cursed property: it's a pity to ignore it, and it's a shame to use it because of its unreliability.
Please fix the bug…

Menu items missing
I guess this is a bug, but a lot of items are missing from the menus on my Illustrator. The ones I notice most are Window and Object, I'm not sure if stuff is missing from the other menus as well. I have everything up to date, and I'm on Windows 11, version 23H2.

PDF files made on large artboards get downscaled incorrectly.
When exporting a PDF from a document that's set to "large artboard" the resolution of linked images will get downsampled 10x as much.
In the screenshots I've provided an example of an Illustrator document that's set to large artboard mode. Artboard is an A4 format with an image that's 300 DPI.
I then export the PDF saying it should downsample images to 300 DPI.
Once I open up the PDF in an InDesign document of the same size, you'll see the linked file appears 10x smaller. Not only that, but if you look closely at the image, you'll see that…

Annoying popup windows in toolbar
I just got a new computer and had to go to Illustrator 28 (Mac OS 12.7.1). Now nearly every time I want to draw an object or move something around, I get an annoying box full of options. It would be fine if the boxes came up on a right click, but I don't need to see them every darn time. I looked in Preferences but none of the obvious choices made them go away. After many years of Illustrator I know what the options are... I could also do without the automatic "Lorem ipsum" text, but that's relatively minor.…

Freezing on saving locally with fonts
Hi, I am working on illustrator 28.0. Since the last update, Illustrator freezes whenever I try to save anything with fonts on my local drive. Even when I was using the Illustrator default font (Myriad pro font)
Things I tried that did not work:
uninstalling and reinstalling
installing earlier version (illustror 27).
repairing the creative cloud itself.
turning off background file saving as suggested.
Things that worked:
saving to cloud
saving the exact same files on other laptop with same fonts (both with same and different versions of Illustrator).
outlining all font layers
Notes:
I am saving to my local…
