Comrades, are we barking at the wrong tree? Do you know if there's similar thread on the Wacom site?

This is still a problem for me and causing daily frustrations with Illustrator. For the time being, I just zoom really close to a shape...

Yes. This is a horrible problem for me. I actually cannot complete my work in my regular estimated time because of this.

GGRRRR this is a major one for me

may 10 2018 - still an issue.... Very annoying - please fix this - I agree withe the user, that wants focus on bugs like this, rather than on new features, that does not necessarily save time.... This bug is actually stealing time, and there is no workaround that will avoid this...

This still isn't fixed. Incredibly frustrating. It's seldom a new feature really saves my time and yet bugs like this that get introduced really slow me down. I'd say that's a backward step.

I worked with Adobe Support on this issue and according to them it's a known bug and "may" be resolved in the next released build.

It's April 6th and Illustrator 2018 is on build 22.1. Let's see.

Similar issue here. Even if there is no other object nearby, it's difficult to select and transform as expected.

It works with expanded shapes, but not with regular shapes.

Working on OS Sierra with latest Illustrator CC and intuos Pro (tried many different drivers)

Hello.

Same issue here :
longterm issue with using the wacom-tablet, intuos pro , with Illustrator CC, I cannot select objects that are close together:

Please see this video I made for reference :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0qT5qgukK4

- While the object on the left is selected, i try to click on the shape to the right
expected behaviour: the object on the right is selected.
behaviour : the object on the right is rotating,
One cs6 this works as expected (even on smaller zoomlevels , eg. 50%)

This is a longstanding issue an it really degrades productivity since the introduction of the illustrator CC suite.
I am a wacom/illustrator user for +10 years now, but i am really dissapointed in how this software-hardware combo has become worser of the years.

Same issue - still not fixed

Didn't mean to repost the previous commenter.
Just saying I am having the same issues on Macbook pro 2011 and I noticed it in the last few versions of Illustrator cc Hate the time suck

It's March 2018, this is still a problem. Still not fixed. Please fix as there are thousands of others who probably aren't taking the time to comment.
This issue is with v22.1 so much so that it has significantly reduced my productivity and my boss is screaming that I can't get files out with a thousand layers out like I use to.
Zooming in and out constantly is a horrid drain on my productivity and deadlines that can't be excused away to my clients!!!!!
using a macbook pro 2017, High Sierra, Illustrator cc v22.1. Logitech trackball and Intous touch tablet with pen.

I too have had this problem for the last few versions of Illustrator - so annoying. Really spoils the enjoyment of using Illustrator. I'm constantly having to zoom right into objects to resize them. I have gone back to using CC5 at home, as it works so much faster and smoother.

At work I'm using a Wacom Bamboo CTH0460 tablet with OS Sierra 10.12.6 with the latest version of Illustrator 22.1 and get this problem occuring. I don't appear to have the problem when using a mouse so must be a Wacom thing.

Same problems here. It is really, really frustrating... It all worked pitch perfect for years, and suddenly...?

I'm also working on a Wacom Cintiq screen, so maybe the same root-issue here.
Really hoping for a fix!

It's a very frustrating annoying bug!

I noticed this has to do something with the new shape widget, which you can't really disable in general.
Workaround: If you have one of those simple shapes behaving awkward:
Got to: Object > Shape > Expand Shape.
Gets you back to the "normal" behavior, for this particular shape.

Still needs to be fixed though. Wacom somehow is getting confused by these kind of shapes.

Same issues here. Just startet with CC a month ago and can't believe what's going on on my display. How can anyone work with this....For now I decided to go back to Illustrator CS6 in order to get my work done efficiently without going crazy.
Working on Sierra 10.12.6, Intuos Pro and also Intuos 4, driver 6.3.27-2. I tried different older wacom drivers, and older Mac OS - same thing. CS6 running perfectly, CC (2017, 2018) not.

Mouse working properly, so it makes me believe it's a wacom problem.
Haven't been using a mouse for years, so that's not an option.

Interesting though CS6 is not affected, regardless which tablet or driver.

A solution for this issue would make me very happy.

I've noticed that if you have more then then 4 anchors on a square then your able to resize without any problems no matter how small the object is. And my mouse works fine, so its undoubtedly a wacom issue.

Wacom Support gave me some help, unfortunately that didn't work out. Maybe you'll have better luck Chris? Se answer below. I've mailed them again. If you've solved this issue please let me know, thanks!

"In this case an outdated or corrupt preference file could be causing an issue, please follow the instructions shown below:

Go to the Wacom Folder and open Wacom Utility (you can also find it typing "Wacom" on the operating system search).
Under "All User Preferences", please select "Remove".
Disconnect the tablet from the computer and remove the driver using the Wacom Utility. After removing the driver with the utility, you can manually check to see if anything is left behind in the following folders. So while in our desktop we want to click on ‘Go’ (upper left corner), then on ‘Computer’. Once inside, please access your main hard drive (by default should be named Macintosh HD). Once we’re here anything that’s related to Wacom, would need to be removed from the folders. The same will have to be checked in any respective User’s folder on the system. On OS X 10.7 Lion or later, the User Library folder has been hidden. To access it, you must select 'Go' from the top of Finder and select 'Go to folder...’. Here, enter ' ~/Library ' to access the current user's Library folder. Please check for Wacom related files and remove them from inside the next folders:
Applications/Wacom Tablet

Library/Application Support/Tablet

Library/Frameworks/WacomMultiTouch.framework

Library/Internet Plugins/WacomTabletPlugin.plugin

Library/Launch Agents/com.wacom.wacomtablet.plist

Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wacom.displayhelper.plist

Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wacom.RemoveTabletHelpter.plist

Library/LaunchDaemons/com.wacom.TabletHelper.plist

Library/PreferencePanes/WacomTablet.prefpane

Library/Preferences/Tablet

Library/PriveledgedHelperTools/com.wacom.RemoveTabletHelper

Library/PriveledgedHelperTools/com.wacom.TabletHelper

Users//Library/Preferences/com.wacom.ProfessionalTablet.plist

Users//Library/Preferences/com.wacom.wacomtablet.prefs

Users//Library/Preferences/com.wacom.wacomtouch.prefs

After this is complete then there should not be any leftover files of a previous Wacom driver file. A restart and a repair of your disk permissions would be important steps before installing a driver. Again, make sure that the tablet is plugged directly into the computer, not into a USB hub or keyboard/monitor.

Next, please proceed with the driver installation:

A restart will be required after installing the driver, please make sure to close and save all your work before following these instructions.

Disconnect the tablet from the computer.
Download and install the driver from:
http://tablet.wacom.co.jp/download/driver/WacomTablet_6.3.25-2.dmg
As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior."

Oh man, yes, please fix this! So much hair torn out over this frustrating issue.

yes please
