I’m not fully sure when the issue started, but it seems it began after updating Adobe Illustrator to version 30.0. I also recently updated macOS to Tahoe, so the problem may be related to one of these updates. I can’t confirm the exact trigger.
Dragging and dropping files does work, but it’s not a practical workaround for me because most of my files are stored in Adobe Cloud, so I depend on the Open… dialog to access them. That dialog is the part that takes several seconds or minutes to appear and sometimes opens multiple blank overlapping windows.
