Since updating to the 2020 version of CC, Illustrator seems to freeze up.
Freezing. Plus, I'm trying to create a dotted stroke with the stroke panel and my stroke always reverts to a solid line.
I'm running Windows 10 and just updated it today 12/7/19 and no change.3 votes -

Does 23.1.1. fix the abysmal performance on Mac or no?
Illustrators performance on Mac as been horrible for the last several versions, has this been fixed yet, or at least an update on why and when you expect to have it fixed?
We seriously need to have an intervention, you're making Illustrator practically unusable for your paying customers with these 'updates' that seemingly take several steps back each time.

Illustrator CC2019 23.0.3 crashes on save ONLY WHEN connected to Internet
Every time I attempt to save an Illustrator file, it freezes and I get the spinning wheel, to the point where I have to force quit. After I force quit and reopen, all my preferences are reset to default.
I've attempted saving on Dropbox, iCloud, my external hard drive, and my local hard drive - it all freezes. The only time it doesn't freeze is when I disconnect from the Internet, and at that point I can save literally anywhere I want.
This happens LITERALLY every single time. I've gotten to a point where whenever I work on Illustrator, I've…

Illustrator stops, not responding
Operating system is Windows 7 Enterprise, Illustrator is CC 2018 or 2019. I begin to work for only 15 sec and then the program pauses with the blue spinning wheel. If I click again the screen shows a (not responding) title at the top and goes grey. This process takes another 15 sec and then snaps back into place and works again, but only for another 15 sec and repeats. I've opened and closed the program several times and also restarted the computer but no change. This only happens in Illustrator and no other CC programs I use. Any ideas…

Illustrator and Adobe apps are slow on retina display
Hi All!
I have an issue with Illustrator (23.0.2) on my brand new 15" retina Macbook Pro 2018 (latest edition 2,6GHz i7, 16GB ram, RadeonPro 560X).
I've seen lot of similar issues here, but I would like to say about an interesting thing.
If I moving around in a document or zoom in/out (simple or complex), it works really slow. If I switch to GPU preview, it's much better, but in CPU preview it's horrible and unusable.
Bigger problem is that on my previous 13" MacbookPro (2012 mid, 2,9Ghz i7) without dedicated graphics card everything works fine (in CPU and…

Illustrator Not Responding
My illustrator program says that it is not responding every time I save. It eventually works but takes 10 or so minutes to save each time. Which is a huge draw back because if I like to save a lot to ensure the safety of my files it impacts my performance by slowing me down.
I am working off of a server but I don't think that would effect my save proformance.
I've checked the Nvidia pannel and set my GTX graphics card as default just in case as well.
I have a cpu and memory meter that aren't showing…

Type tool
Idk about anyone else. But since I updated Illustrator, my Type Tool has been slowing down my computer to the point where it almost crashes whenever I am using the tool. Clicking ANYTHING or highlighting type causes the "spinning ball" to pop up instantly, and sometimes not even highlighting the selection I want!
Thoughts?

Cursor location offset from mouse. Cannot select or use illustrator effectively.
I am on Creative Cloud version Version 23.0.1. I am having a problem from the moment I open Illustrator that the mouse and cursor do not synchronise. The cursor actually selects something completely offset from what I am trying to select. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as just restarting. Nothing is resetting it to work correctly.

Key object selection mismatch
When I select two objects and choose the key object for allignment, the top allignment option shows the «Align to key object» and object gets highlighted, however if I go to the sidebar to introduce a spacing number it shows «Align to selection» instead and I need to change the option again. This is so frustrating.

Scale tool bug with Shift+Alt
window 10 / cc2019 (been seeing this issue in 2018 and 2017 too)
Scale tool selected
press shift+Alt
click anywhere on the workareaThis sends illustrator nuts: the scaling cursor doesn't stick to the place you click, nor it goes away. No other tool is selectable, no action can be taken. After minutes (actual minutes) the scaling tool popup window appears, then you can close it and go on woth the work.
I know this tool is not supposet to do anything with shift+alt+click but often i keep those keys by mistake. This would be easily solved with an exception…

AI CC2019 slow and jittery on iMac 27" 5k w/ 40gb ram and 4.2ghz i7 processor... why???
Why is this program so slow? I have a fairly robust iMac, working in vectors... trying to layout a simple menu board and the program is jittery and laggy. I have two programs open at the moment: AI and Photoshop

Unoperational
I'm trying to use Illustrator CC and nothing in the program is responding, everything is greyed out. There is no indication from the program that anything is wrong with it. I have downloaded the latest update and this is the first time I have had such an issue with the program.

No Adobe CC App is working properly since the update of Mac OS to Mojave and the update to 2019 Adobe CC has only made matter worst
What are we to do this is very frustrating that Adobe CC is not working properly. Have been trying to use it for 2 days. Even spent the entire evening online and on the phone with support. I gave 1 rep remote access to my Mac twice and he deleted several items and uninstalled the CC and reinstalled only to have it doing the same thing. Then had to call about Adobe Spark moments later because I was getting a 400 Bad Request. I am convinced something is wrong with Adobe and we are expected to deal with it.

Lags horribly...I cannot do anything because of this. This was before and after update. This happens with Adobe PDF too.
Lags horribly...I cannot do anything because of this. This was before and after update. This happens with Adobe DC and InDesign I too. I haven't tried other CC apps but Pages (not an Adobe app) works fine and so does the internet. I removed Windows Bootcamp from my Mac thinking that it was a space issue. At this rate I am unable to get any work done. Very frustrating

Illustrator CC constantly crashes in Touch Workspace
I switched to a Surface Pro 2017 (i5, 8GB RAM) a few days ago and Adobe Creative cloud is driving me crazy.
The issue I'm having is that Illustrator CC 2018 (V23.0) keeps crashing every few minutes when I'm working in the Touch Workspace - which badly needs a layers panel by the way. To use CC like this is the sole reason I got this Surface Pro!
Things that didn't work:
- Restarting
- Updating all my drivers
- Downgrading to Illustrator CC V22.0
- Re-installing Adobe CC completely
- Re-installing Windows completely from a Microsoft Surface Recovery USB…

23.0.1 Consistent Crash - Trying to record a transparency adjustment in an Action
I'm using an iMac with Mojave 10.14 and Illustrator 23.0.1.
I'm getting a crash while recording an action with a grouped object selected, I try to edit a transparency via the Properties menu. The crash is within one to two seconds of hitting enter on this change, consistently. Seems like it's another part of the memory leak that's happening?
I'm rolling back to 22.1 until this is resolved.
