  1. Canvas Rotation Feature is obstructing regular pinching in or out gesture for zooming, when using the trackpad

    When using the pinching in or out gesture on the trackpad, to zoom in or out.
    The artboard gets rotated very easily if there is even a slight rotation in the gesture while.

    And then part 2 of problem. Its impossible to set it back to 0degrees. It keeps snapping between some low degrees

  3. Disable SHIFT + SPACE Keyboard Shortcut for Rotate Canvas

    A SHIFT+ SPACE keyboard shortcut for the rotate canvas tool was introduced in a minor version update of Ai 25 (sometime after 25.2.1). This keyboard shortcut is very disruptive when trying to make selections while panning around the artboard. For example, you used to be able to continually hold down the SHIFT and SPACE keys to pan around the artboard while quickly dragging the cursor around points or objects to add them to your selection. With the new rotate canvas shortcut, you have to carefully press SHIFT, make your first selection, release SHIFT, press SPACE to to pan, release, press…

  4. New Rotate Tool

    Really don't like this new rotate canvas feature. It's too easy to accidentally rotate the canvas on a Mac when using two fingers to navigate the cursor.

    I accidentally rotated the canvas and it will not snap back to 0. It jumps from 7 degrees to negative 6 degrees, with no 0 degree in sight.

  5. Rotate View Tool - Alt + Transform

    Using the alt+tranform and the rotate view together is impossible because the object flickers between dramatically different sizes.

    Replicate this bug by using the rotate view tool and rotating the view 180 degrees. When in this view, hold down alt and try to transform an objects scale. The object will flicker between sizes making it impossible to transform using alt.
