    Illustrator Vesion 29.8.1
    macOS Tahoe 26.0

    Description of the Issue:
    Some shortcut keys in Adobe Illustrator, most notably Command+D (Transform Again), occasionally stop working during active use of the software. Other shortcuts also fail intermittently.

    This issue is temporarily resolved by restarting Illustrator, but the problem reappears after extended usage.

    Steps to Reproduce :

    1 Open Adobe Illustrator and begin working on a project.

    2 Use shortcut keys frequently (including Command+D).

    3 After some time, shortcut keys (mainly Command+D) stop responding.

    4 Attempting the same action via the menu still works.

    5 Restarting Illustrator restores shortcut functionality.

    Expected Behaviour :

    Shortcut keys should remain functional throughout the Illustrator session without requiring a restart.

    Actual Behaviour :

    Shortcut keys stop functioning after some time. Command+D is most affected, along with other object arrange related shortcuts.

    Temporary Workaround:

    Restarting Illustrator restores normal shortcut functionality, but this disrupts workflow.

    Impact:

    *Significantly slows down workflow.

    *Reduces efficiency for users who rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts for repetitive tasks.

    Possible Cause:

    It appears that Illustrator may gradually lose responsiveness to shortcut key mappings over time, suggesting a memory leak, cache overload, or input handling bug.

    Request

    Please investigate and fix this shortcut key failure issue to ensure consistent performance.
    Shortcut reliability is critical for professionals who depend on Illustrator for high-speed design work.

    Thank you.
