Many Many issues with Illustrator 2018
Ever since I've updated to Illustrator 2018, the program is always lagging and becomes non-responsive. Something simple like selecting "T" for a new text line will stall my program. I've attached my computer specs.
The alt shortcut for brush tool no longer selects color with the eye drop tool. I have to manually select the eyedropper, then switch back to the brush tool which is very frustrating when I need to do this hundreds of times a day!
The startup time has increased dramatically. Showing a blank screen for a couple minutes until the illustrator home screen finally appears. Also when starting a new project. It takes a long time for the new project window to appear.
Bounding boxes do not properly frame the object. Using the align tool doesn't work properly because the bounding box is not centered around the object. (I unfortunately did not get a screenshot of this)
I am looking into switching to Corel Draw. May I have a $50 refund until these issues are resolved. Thankyou

Likewise!
Switching between illustrator and indesign or photoshop stalls the programme for at least 10 seconds each time. Even when i hit the "tab" key to hide/unhide the palettes, it becomes a minimum 15 second process!!Copying text from word, and and trying to paste it into indesign, it practically freezes for half a minute.
Please, please fix this!
How do you expect people to work like this? -

Similar issues. Horribly laggy, terribly long boot & save times, app glitches on save and window/view changes. May be Windows 10 or CC 2018, because my 2012 MacBook Pro running CC 2017 could edit the exact same project files smoothly and quickly.
