Object editing actions stop working
Some actions stop working without reason. Sometimes I can't rearrange objects or even duplicate. That includes the Keyboard shortcuts for those actions. I need to restart Illustrator for it to work again.

PC performance issues when using the Shape Builder tool on dxf files (or vector format).
When using the shape builder tool against a dxf file (or vector format), the CPU usage is not high and not working.
When using Simplify on a dxf file (or vector format) to reduce the number of paths, the CPU usage increases to approximately 100%, confirming that the CPU is working correctly.
This behavior makes sense since the calculations are done by the CPU since it is a vector format.However, when using the shape builder tool, the CPU and GPU functions are not used.
I was checking the resource monitor and the CPU and GPU usage was about 3%~5%.1 vote -
PLEASE FIX THE BUG THAT KEEPS FREEZING AND CRASHING THE APP WITHOUT SAVING

Zooming on macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) and Illustrator 27.3.1 (and previous version) is h-e-l-l
When zooming in with my Apple Trackpad (external but also with the build in one) zoom is not smooth and lags. MacBook Pro M1 Max. My colleague didn't experience this while being on the latest Illustrator version, until they updated to the latest macOS version (from 12 to 13, Intel MacBook Pro). So my assumption there is a compatibility issue over there with macOS. The experience while zooming with GPU is normally smooth, but now it is worse then zooming in CPU mode. Changing, rebooting and reinstalling didn't work.

Illustrator after 5 mins starts loading continuously
Once opening my cloud file after 5 mins the cursor starts loading & doesn't stop. Making it impossible to save. The only way to stop the issue is to force quit on Mac & reopen, then it'll repeat after 5 mins again

Animated zoom not working in latest version 27.2 for Mac
Animated zoom is not working on Macbook Pro (Intel). I have checked the "Animated zoom" option under GPU in Performance. Restarted the app too.
I tried it on another Macbook Pro (M1) and it just doesn't work.

Illustrator Nonstop crashing
Illustrator crashes often throughout the day. Mac Studio M1 Ventura 13.2 128 GB Ram 4TB HD, Illustrator 27.X.
Happens often after pasting artwork from other files and then moving the pasted artwork.
This is happening on multiple Mac Studio's with designers working on different files.
Files are local on their desktops.
We reset preferences files, cache etc.
This is a really critical issue.

Illustrator 27 (last version) crashes
Illustrator crashes after some minutes of use without any apparent reason. I have run any possible thing to solve it. I am just drawing with my wacom tablet, the same I have done for the last 3 years. The files are usually partially recovered, but there is no error name or code displayed.

Illustrator 26.2.1 LAGS on EVERYTHING. Unusable.
System Version: macOS 11.6.5 (20G527)
Illustrator 26.2.1
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac18,3
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 4.2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
Memory: 64 GBFor no reason that I can tell, Illustrator has suddenly become totally unresponsive. I can't do ANYTHING. Even trying to resize the interface window results in a 30-second-long storm of flickering diagonal arrows cursor. No menu item can be selected without an unusably long lag.
I have reset preferences, restarted Illustrator, restarted the machine altogether, switched wifi networks, the whole shooting match. I use Illustrator…

Can't Save AS!!!!!
When I try to SAVE or SAVE AS. Nothing happens. This is a random bug just pops up randomly.
It won't let me save or even save as. When I click Save As the finder box doesnt open so I can't do anything.
I'd have to force quit so that AI thinks it crashed then pray that I get my recovered document when I open it up again.
FIX THIS PLEASE.

v26.5 on Mac OSX is very slow, generally.
v26.x is generally way slower than v25.4.8, but some features, like freeform gradient, are unusably slow. It takes couple of seconds to recalculate even a simple gradient with just 3-4 points. Same goes with applying wariable width stroke profile to multiple objects or a nested group. In 25.4.8 those tasks are instantaneous, in 26.5 they can even cause "spinning beach ball of doom" and take minutes to resolve.

Menu windows eventually are inoperable
Usually once per day my file menu windows become inoperable, they are completely white. This has only started happening since the most recent update. The only way out of it is to shut down. It doesn't even let me save. I'm running Windows 11 and the version is 26.4.1.

Delay from keyboard causes unnecessary errors
I've reported this in the past, and I'm shocked and frustrated that nothing has been done to resolve it: There is a delay between when a button is pressed on my keyboard and when Illustrator registers it. As someone who has used this application for over 20 years, I'm very fast. As a result, when pressing (for example) the OPTION key in order to do anything (like changing the direct selection tool to the Group Selection tool) it takes an additional half of a second for Illustrator to register the change. Considering the speed at which I work, this means…

Strange lag when opening files in Illustrator and Lightroom is running in the background
When Lightroom is running in the background I am experiencing a lag when opening files in Illustrator. It takes about 40 seconds for the file to come up in Illustrator, even with smallest files.
Had this issue for a long time now and with X versions of Illustrator in the past.
- Keep lightroom running parallel to illustrator
- Open File (double click or from the menu)
- Blank file pops up and stays freezed for an amound of seconds
File opens completely
PC, Windows 10 pro 21H2, last X Versions of Illustrator
More strange: When I send Lightroom to a systray icon…
