Hand tool is getting stuck in 29.1, massive performance issues
Since yesterday Illustrator has virtually become unusable to me and I have no idea what happened. I didn't install any new apps.
The issue is seems to be focused around using spacebar to pan around my document. It gets stuck on the hand tool and the pan itself is laggy. When using the middle button on my mouse, the pan works perfectly though.
Left clicking on elements and manipulating them is an unsurmountable task with these issues, effectively making Illustrator unusable to me now...
I really hope someone else is also experiencing this, but I haven't been able to find any resources.
I tried everything. Restart my Mac. Reinstall Illustrator. Tried older versions. All the same...

Using spacebar to pan around but the hand tool is still selected even thought I release the space bar. And when panning around while pressing space bar the panning itself is laggy. Furthermore, when left clicking objects on the canvas, there’s a 1 second delay before they’re selected. And I can’t double click to enter groups or edit text etc. What in the world is going on here? I tried restarting in Safe Mode and then everything worked perfectly - and super fast. But for obvious reasons I can’t work in Safe Mode.

Charlie, do you mean the Hand tool gets stuck as soon as you pick it, and selecting another tool won’t drop the hand cursor?

Hand tool does not deselect. Even while selecting another tool, the hand tool will not deselect. also while using the handtool it will not let go of the board. I have re installed the program and still having the problem.
