Hello, in Illustrator 2022, there still that same issue, may I know is there any solution before the illustrator engineering can fix it. Thanks

V26.5では、V25.2にあった「CPUプレビューにしてAlt+クリックを行ってもまともに動かない」バグは改善されており、CPUプレビューでなら回転が出来ました。また、Alt+クリックでマウスポインタに拡大縮小や回転の基点がくっついたあと、ウインドウの外にポインタを持っていくと、なんと即座にダイアログが現れます！素晴らしい！
ところで、もともとのバグは、私がおばあちゃんになる前に直してもらえますか？

Same issue, made My PC crash, uy happens with the transformation tools (rotate, reflect, sácale)

Hey :)
I use illustrator CC 2019.

I use my huion pen tablet for almost everything since it is easier and I am comfortable to it than using mouse.

I use Rotate tool to copy objects in circle with a center point.( Select Rotate tool, Hold Alt and click to choose the center of the object) .

When I use huion tablet to achieve this, the Center point keeps floating with the mouse pointer. I have to use my mouse to click to set a center point.
I have used it in multiple computers and with other wacom devices too. I am not sure if its a bug, but it would be really great if you could fix it :)

Regards,

Still a problem with Illustrator 2022. ( ಠل͟ಠ)

This bug is easily reproduce-able, just hold alt prior to dragging to create a copy and the cursor sticks to the mouse pointer. It does not occur when dragging and holding alt afterwards.

This is still an issue as of April 2021.
I'm a professional working on a fully-loaded HP laptop with a 2019 Intuos Pro tablet. The bug doesn't show up every time I use the Scale/Rotate/Shear/Reflect tools, so I can easily get lulled into a false sense of security until it wigs out again.

Sometimes clicking into another program and clicking back does it, but more often it takes several minutes of clicking around to get it to stop. Occasionally it will freeze up the whole laptop and force a hard reset.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Illustrator, updated everything Windows will let me update. I've done everything I can think of, short of wiping the computer and reinstalling WIndows itself.

Please fix this.

So, I just found out about this bug after getting my drawing board back.

To be specific, AI waits about 3 to 5 mins to respond and to show rotation dialog box after "Alt+Click" specific point of an object or line. After releasing control, the rotation point is away from the one I selected and the entire keyboard becomes unavailable so "Ctrl+C", "Ctrl+Esc" won't work or any other combination.

Does not happens with mouse, only when Wacom is enabled. So I executed the following steps:

- I went to Windows10 Task Manager and checked for AI raising CPU Usage up to 23% ~ 25% and then going down to 0%.
- Went back to AI and did a couple of clicks to check response and the rotation box appeared.
- Rotation point remains away from the selected point.

I repeated these steps 5 times to make sure. Same behave. Temporary solution is to avoid using this option for now and made the rotation manually.

Reading others comments, 2 years to clear that bug from backlog seems excessive time for an issue resolution. If you need to reproduce, I believe you've already done this by now, is it possible to know an estimated resolution date regarding to this issue?

Thank you.

V25.2
表示→CPUプレビューにしてAlt+クリックを行うという回避方法があったのですが、このバージョンではその回避方法すら行えなくなりました。
V25にしてからフリーズが起こるようになったのも有り、仕方なくV24.3を使っています。

ずいぶん長いこと放置されているバグだけど、アドビの人はこの記事を見てくれていないのですか？

Still happening in 2021, y'all. v25.0

I have this same issue, only the click doesn't work, and seems to hang Illustrator for a time. But now it's 10/23/2020. Is there a fix, or work-around for this issue?

it's not yet solved , I am using illustrator 24.3

"Had to use my mouse instead of my tablet to use the rotate tool without causing a complete crash."

Same for me.

Had to use my mouse instead of my tablet to use the rotate tool without causing a complete crash.

I solve the problem by unchecking the GPU performance

That did not work either. In fact, Illustrator just basically froze. I had to terminate the program from the Task Manager.

One thing I actually discovered yesterday is, when you alt-click, click outside the Illustrator window onto your desktop and it makes the window pop-up. At least it did for me

Munim Hussain - I am using AI2020 also, with a Wacom Cintiq - your suggestion did not work for me.

A solution that works for me is that you press alt after clicking instead of before clicking and that pretty much works like magic. I don't have to uncheck my GPU rendering or fiddle with any other settings. I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2020 and a Wacom Intuos. I hope this helps.

Still the same for me in CC20. Having a mouse plugged in for the sole purpose of doing an alt+click action with rotation tool in AI seems like...?

Windows 10 64-bit + intuos pro pth-660 + Illustrator CC18, CC19, CC20... CC21?
