    Still a problem with Illustrator 2022. ( ಠل͟ಠ)

    Trying to open the dialog box for precise Rotate or Reflect settings by Alt+tapping with a stylus on a Wacom tablet makes Illustrator unresponsive for an undetermined period of time.

    The dialog box may eventually open (after 30-90 seconds), but in the meantime, Illustrator cannot be closed, and none of the menus, tools and commands work. The bug only occurs with a stylus, Alt+clicking with a mouse never produces this issue.

    The bug was reported on Adobe Support Community already in 2019 but has not been fixed even in the most recent Illustrator release. It seems to be a problem both on Windows and Mac systems. See https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/illustrator-stuck-when-using-rotate-or-reflect-tool/m-p/11918855#M269117

    I am using Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 with the most up-to-date drivers and have no problems with any other software. I have not confirmed this myself, but others have reported that the bug only occurs when using Illustrator's GPU acceleration.
