2. Holding Alt while dragging an object to copy / duplicate it doesn’t works

   I am curious if anyone has ran into the same problem or even knows how to fix this problem.
   I am using illustrator 2018 and I can not use the Alt-click-drag method to duplicate.
   I can not find out how to fix this issue.

3. Units in AI 2018 not functioning properly

   The new update to Illustrator, 2018, seems to be having issues with files made in previous versions of Illustrator, as of 10/19/17. I'm having trouble setting the Units. When I try to set my rulers to inches, they seem to remain at points - even the properties pallet.

   Although, I just reinstalled 2017 (on 10/20/17) because of these bugs and when I launched the AI app from the CC app, it launched the 2018 version (since I had not yet uninstalled it). When I checked again, this issue seems to have been resolved since yesterday. I kept double checking and I was definitely working in 2018. I thought this may have been remedied because I saved my previous file in 2018, then reopened it in 2018. However, when double checking the original file made in a previous version, the rulers were now working in 2018. I still plan to uninstall 2018 while Adobe works through similar bugs, but it is great to see how fast your teams are responding and fixing these issues. Thanks Adobe! I will check back in on the 2018 AI product in a couple of months and give it another try :)

4. Decimal point massive problems (AI CC 2017.1.0 macOS 10.12.6)

   I’ve documented the issue here:

   this problem has been discussed ad nauseam on the forum, but it still persists: AI 2017.1.0 on macOS 10.12.6 still has massive problems with handling of the decimal comma vs. point. On my system (macOS 10.12.6), all dialog boxes within Illustrator display numbers with decimal commas, but any operation (such as moving an item with cursor keys or using the cursor Up or Down keys within text boxes) makes the values multiply by 100 and then "explode".

   When I start a new document, the Width textbox of the page says "210,00 mm". If I click into the textbox and use the Up key, I’d expect the number to become 211,00 mm, but instead, it gets treated as 21000, so it probably becomes 21001 and then gets truncated to 5779,56 mm (because for whatever reason, Illustrator won’t allow me to design a document larger than 5.7 meters wide, but that’s another issue). Then, the same problems persist in the Transform palette, the top control palette and pretty much everywhere. Also, because of that, trying to move items with the cursor keys result them to instantly jump off the screen (because if their X position is 300,00 mm, and I press the Right key to move them, they end up at 30001,00 or somewhere such.

   Illustrator accepts keyboard input of numbers with a decimal point only (200.5) but those inputs get instantly converted into commas (200,50 mm). When I input a number with a comma (200,5) that number becomes 20050,00 mm. And all **** breaks loose.

   This problem has been reported AGAIN and AGAIN, but seemingly nothing happens.

   This problem does not exist in other apps, including other Adobe apps like Photoshop or InDesign — only in Illustrator.

   I removed ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 21 Settings and ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.illustrator.plist

   I uninstalled Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 and installed it again.

   I even switched the app language — previously, I had the English (Arabic) version of AI (enAR) installed and now I’ve installed the English (International) (enGB).

   This all doesn’t help.

5. Very laggy zooming in and out using mouse scroll since versions 28.1

   I'm on Windows 11, using the newly updated AI 29.0. This has been mostly my issue since AI 28.1 onwards. I've been using AI 28.0 without any problems, but I try out every new version to see if the issue will be resolved. I have a good internet connection (700++ Mbps). I think my system has more than the minimum requirements.

   For AI 28.0 - both .AI and AIC (cloud) files can be zoomed in and out using mouse scroller without any problems.

   For AI 28.1 - 29.0 - Locally saved .AI is somewhat laggy. Cloud saved .AIC has a very laggy scroll zoom.

   I have tried resetting the preference and reinstall a couple of times to no avail.

9. Rendering complicated files on MAC requires CPU rather than GPU

   Something is wrong with GPU rendering.

   My old iMac (27" 2016) used to have rendering issues with larger/complicated files. For example, using the HAND tool and moving around, sections would not render/refresh.
   I thought, well it's an old machine the GPU must be dying.

   Then i got a new MacBook M1 MAX with 64GB Memory.

   And I still often see rendering issues and need to switch to CPU.

10. Illustrator 2023 performance issues in Windows 11

    This performance issue often occurs when I open Illustrator and Photoshop at the same time, making my PC perform extremely slow and lagging. it's enough to make me feel annoyed while working.

    I've tried reinstalling Illustrator and Photoshop, changing the graphics performance for the Illustrator & Photoshop app to "High Performance", updating the latest GPU driver, cleaning temporary files, updating windows to the latest stable 2H22 version. but the result is that the performance issue is still not fixed.

    additional information I use hardware: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, RAM 32GB DDR4, SSD NVMe M.2 500GB, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, be quiet 700w PSU, Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.963.

    and just today I found the cause of the problem. when reinstalling Illustrator & Photoshop both went pretty well. but when I installed some brush packs in photoshop, that's where the problem appeared. it makes Illustrator extremely slow, even making windows run slow in performance too.

    and thanks for the hard work for the developer team that handles this software problem.
    I hope this performance issue can be fixed quickly.

11. Files take too long to close

    Any opened file takes way too long to close. It used to be fast a couple months ago. Then something changed and every file, even small files take at least 5 full seconds to close. Everything else is fast. Photoshop is fast. The only other program that is slow closing files is InD.
    Already tried deleting preferences, and rolling back illustrator to older version

    Illustrator 25.3.1
    Windows 10 Pro 21H1
    CPU: Ryzen7 3800X
    RAM: 64gb DDR4 3200mhz
    SSD: WD Black NVME

12. Stability update made Illustrator very unstable

    I noticed the 27/07/2020 update described itself as addressing stability issues, which I didn't have. Since the update ran, 3 hours ago, I've had three crashes - all when copying text and graphics together. My crash report crashed too.

    If you see this issue with AI 24.2.2 update, please revert to 24.2.1. This article contains details for revert to an older version – https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html
    We are working on a fix for this issue.

13. Preferences reset whenever Illustrator freezes/crashes

    Illustrator freezes or crashes 1 to 2 times a day. I use it for 8 hours a day at work. When it freezes, I have to force quit with Task Manager. I'm using 2020, and I had this exact issue with 2019. However with 2020, whenever it freezes and I force quit, once I open Illustrator again all of my preferences are back to default. These preferences include: custom Keyboard Shortcuts, the workspace, boxes that have been checked (e.g. the Preview box in Envelope Distort).

14. Lag and Illustrator "Not Responding" after copy command

    The platform is: Illustrator 23.0.6 64-bit, on Win10 Enterprise 1903 latest updates, and with nVidia drivers R430 U5 (431.70).

    The bug is that Illustrator freezes for ~5 seconds after/during a simple copy command, and "Not Responding" is displayed on the top title bar. This can be induced by just opening a new file, drawing a rectangle, then trying to copy it (with Ctrl-C or with the menu command).

    This is destroying my workflow...

15. slow cursor on second monitor when using Adobe Illustrator - only while using Ai

    When I used illustrator on my second monitor, the mouse cursor is astoundingly slow and a reduced range across the screen. This only happens when I use illustrator, not other applications. I am using a macOS Mohave 10.14.5 (18F132) and am connecting to my monitor with an HDMI using an HDMI/USB adapter for my laptop.

    This costs me in time and efficiency at my job, as I'm sure it does for other people, who have posted similar complaints on adobe forums. Please fix it!

17. AI 23.03 - Absolute Performance Hog

    AI has a clear performance problem on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2015, 15", top of the line model). My computer bogs down entirely, fans kick up, the software is extremely slow to respond to doing anything, even simple tasks. It's not isolated to my file--it is the software. Upon quitting, my system returns to normal. The CPU processes for AI were in excess of 120% and consuming nearly 40% of my entire CPU processor power (2.8 GHz i7, 16GB Ram).

    No trouble with previous version of AI.

18. Every time Illustrator start, CEPHTMLengine steal focus by constantly being killed/crash and restarted

    This is a bug, not an idea.
    I'm using Illustrator 2019 with full Adobe CC over Windows 7 pro, Since the update from 2018 every time I start Illustrator all other windows loose focus every 20sec, including Illustrator. I can not even type a full sentence when illustrator is ON. Once Illustrator is closed, the normal focus returns.
    I noticed that the CEPHTMLEngine start when Illustrator start and its being killed or crash every 20sec and then is restarted, This restart steal focus from any program running in windows. The cycle continues until Illustrator is closed.

    I'm behind a corporate firewall that block any rogue application from accessing the internet and Adobe CC and Illustrator had been cleared and everything had worked OK since 2016 until the new 2019 version.

    Please fix this bug or indicate the procedure to prevent CEPHTMLengine from stealing focus.
