Moving paths very slow if not dragged at the center
Ex: Create a circle
click at the center of the circle with a selection tool and drag. The path moves fast as expected. But if click elsewhere on the circle and drag, the path moves very slowly.

Random slow-downs opening or saving files
In AI 23.0.4 when opening a sequence of files there are random slow-downs and spinning beachballs for no obvious reasons, at random. Have un-installed and getting same issue with 23.0.3 and 23.0.2. Nothing about my system has changed since this has started and it's driving me mad.

Illustrator freezes when runs in a loop for 500 times. So inside loop only I am adding the document, saving to the disk and close the document
Here is the code
for(var i=0;i<500;i++){
var doc = app.documents.add();
doc.saveAs(File('~/Desktop/Test'+(i+1)))
doc.close();
}
Run, this code and you will never able to create 500 documents. I use automation a lot and in one go I have to loop over 1000 documents that have graphics inside it. BUt here in sample cript I am not doing nothing just crating 500 documents without any graphics, still Illustrator frezees.I have attached the screenshots for memory…

laggy after placing linked files
When I place a JPG in my file (linked, not embedded), my Illustrator file becomes laggy. It lags when I pan across the file or zoom in and out and takes longer than usual to save the file. I've noticed this as a problem since the latest update of Illustrator.

Mojave 10.14.5

Moving artwork generates copies along its path
After spending hours on a logo design, I selected all of the art, resized it to fit the canvas, and then moved it over a few spaces to the right. When moving the artwork to the right, illustrator began to generate copies of the art every time I tapped the right arrow key. This mass copying then made the application crash. I am able to open the file but my layers now have hundreds of sublayers in each of them!
I have used illustrator for years and never seen this before.
I am running on Windows 10

Illustrator 2019 inoperable after Windows 7 update
Windows 7, CC 2019, 64-bit PC:
Since latest Windows 7 update, Illustrator opens but none of the tools work, and the pull-downs roll back up before I can select one. Coworker with Illustrator 2017 has the same problem. Photoshop and Acrobat work.
Also, after the second-to-last Windows 7 update, we can no longer print a second PDF after making the first one, from any program (Illustrator, InDesign, AutoCAD...). We still have this problem too.

Completely wrong displayed information
Illustrator is displaying offset clipping masks, will Not display Objects properly or at all as if they are entirely transparent with every setting I can find that says it shouldn't be.

Illustrator 2019 23.0.4 suffering from (memory) problems
Illustrator is very unstable. Sometimes it starts with all menus grayed out - need to force quit. It complains about memory when working on very simple documents. Hangs the complete Mac - needs hard restart.
Lots of issues, not always reproductable, without error messages - seems quite fundamental.1 vote -
Long delay before PDF dialog when large images present
It seems that when there are any large linked images present, Illustrator locks up for several seconds or more before the Save Adobe PDF dialog appears. Often the delay is long enough that I end up switching to another task while I wait.
This never used to happen in previous versions — I believe the problem started with an update in late 2018 or early 2019. Based on the delay before the dialog appears, it seems like Illustrator might be refreshing/re-reading the images in the background, because the delay seems to increase with more/larger images.
All my working files are saved…

Issues running Illustrator 23.0.4 and OS Mojave 10.14.5 on a Mac
- Every time I move the cursor, instead of moving it it acts as if I had clicked and dragged, selecting an imaginary area.
- When I try to select an item, the cursor will not do it, so I click twice, then three times, and then - it finally selects, and sometimes catches up with a delay, clicking the second and third time and mucking the selection. I have reinstalled illustrator and went to the apple store to reinstall the OS, with no resolution. The system runs ok with other applications, shows issues with Photoshop as well and is slows when…

Improve Large Complex File Handling
Performance with large files is sluggish & frequently enters the "Not Responding" state. This wastes my time & causes frustration. Files with this behavior include those with many linked or embedded images or complex vector graphics such as expanded brush strokes. However, I cannot find an explanation for this slowness. During these periods, my total RAM usage does not go above 40% & CPU usage does not go above 20%. GPU usage spikes to 100% occasionally but quickly returns to near 0% so this does not seem to be the cause. Opening & saving files takes a very long time…

Illustrator have weird display problem halfway during my work.
I've recording down what had happen to my AI recently. I have no idea why this happen, and i don't know the keyword to search for an answer to solve this problem so I decided to post it here. This had happen a lot recently almost everyday and at least happen twice or thrice a day. This had already happen for at least one or two weeks. And the properties panel also is unviewable because everything is squishing together, unviewable and unuseable. (for the properties panel unviewable problem, I didn't get the chance to took a picture before Ai crashed.)…

Direct Selection tool not working correctly after image trace
After using the image trace tool and selecting either high or low fidelity, sometimes the direct selection tool stops working correctly. Although you can still use it, it doesn't highlight the points when you actually click on an object. Once you create a new project it works but it stays broken in the old project forever.

Batch in Actions strips the action's effects and results in no file preview
If I manually start an action for a file, I have a preview for the resulting re-saved file and it has been altered properly based upon my action steps. But, if I batch files with the action, no preview is generated and my file has not taken on any of the the changes the action gives it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I think there's a huge bug with this function.

Links Delay
iMac, Mojave 10.14, Illustrator 23.0.3
When I select any link whether it be on the artboard or on the links panel, it has a slight delay. Not sure when exactly this changed but it wasnt always like this, i was able to relink one right after another with zero delay and now im not able to do that. I have 2 Examples.
When I select a link file from the artboard, it takes about 2-3 seconds before its shown selected on the links panel. This is a problem because if i try to Relink within those 2-3 seconds, it wont…
