  4. command + z

    illustrator newest version 2020 in use:
    it has issues in reverting the latest action. the one before the latest and all the previous are reverted while that last 1 stays the same.

    lets say

    1- line modification towards left
    2- line resized
    3- point of line modified from point A towards B

    when pressing cmd+z only the actions nr 2 and nr1 are rverted. the position of the line in the nr3 doesnt go from B back to A. stays in B..

  9. Performance and delay on Illustrator 2020&2019 - iMac 5k 2019 with Pro Vega 48

    Here is the video where I compare performance issue with other graphic software and desktop CP with Illustrator 2020 on the iMac 2019. Fps is drop when moving canvas by hand tool and when you want to resize simple vector shape you see on screen and feel some kind of latency, delay (watch carefully the video below). On the video you can see this lag how its behavior on iMac and how its snappy od Pc Dekstop. Performance is the same on Mojave or Catalina. I was handing for 5 days with your customer support and technician support. Still the…

  10. Illustrator fundamentals

    • When panning around in mid full screen view, defect stripes keeps appearing all over the screen. Disappears when zooming one time.
    • Zoom should be zooming to position of mouse, but it zooms "all over the place" when close up.
    • Pathfinder substract creates unnecessary amount of anchor points + gaps. Even with setting 0,001 in Pathfinfer options

    This has been going on for years, and Adobe is informed about these fundamental bugs several times. Time to fix the fundamentals and clean up the bugs.

  11. Create new file dialog box lags

    When I'm working with multiple files, opening and closing, there are times where I copy an object to a new file. I use Command-N, but the dialog box lags and takes several seconds to show up. Is it trying to connect to something online? Why is there lag?

    Need More Info  ·  Anish Kumar responded

    Hi David,

    i am not able to reproduce the issue at my end. Can you please share the following information:

    1. Which OS you are working on?
    2. What is the version of AI?
    3. Have you stared facing this issue recently?
    4. If you are using some other Adobe application, Is it happening in that application as well?

    Thanks
    Anish

  12. crashing

    Crashes when opening preferences. Slow overall (and non-responsive) performance on a brand new Mac. 2020 Illustrator is beta garbage and does not run dependably. InDesign is just as bad.

  13. Only one backstep at a time possible

    ai lets me backstep only once or twice bevore stalling. After ca. 2 minutes another backstep is possible. Sometimes several backsteps are possible but it will stall from time to time. If I wait, it will recover, but it's impossible to work in this way.
    Is there a solution to this?
    I'm on a Mac Pro 12core late 2013 and OS X 10.14.6

  14. Watercolor Brush

    3 Second+ Lag when using Basic Watercolor brush.

    This is making some projects nearly unusable on the newest version. I don't know if the performance problems are similar for other brush types. But it brings Illustrator to a crawl on my workstation which should be overkill for running Illustrator.

  15. actions slow and crashing

    All actions that ran smoothly on Illustrator CC 2019 are slow and most of the time crash the new update (CC 2020). Actions are meant to speed up workflow, not slow it down.

  19. Illustrator 23.1 (64bit) hangs - hourly

    Didn't have a problem with previous versions.
    Updated to v23.1 (64bit) Windows 10 Home 1903 and regularly hangs.
    Sometimes hangs while working. Usually hangs when opening a new file, particularly when already have a file open. The files I'm using are less than 1mb so shouldn't cause issue.

  20. "File, Edit, Object" etc freezes/doesn't work

    After I worked for a few minutes in Illustrator CC, the bar with File, Edit, Object etc isn't responding and the only way to close Illustrator is by a Force Quit.
    I already deinstalled and reinstalled it 2-3 times, but it doesn't help.
