boycott is a great idea... except I rely on the software to do my job. "I need that graphic back over to me by this afternoon" "oh I'm sorry, I can't because I'm boycotting Adobe and I don't have any software" :(
I would join a boycott if only I could keep working at the same time which isn't going to happen. Basically, Adobe have us by the short and curlies.

I signed up to the prerelease verisons of AI and PSD... wasn't impressed to be honest, and yes, I've raised several of my own feature requests and submitted my own bug reports... just before you start accusing everyone of being trolls from behind your safe little anonymous name...
seriously, I've used adobe for about 7 years now, and i'm not saying I'm a pro.... I'm just a bogstandard guy, but I get annoyed about the lack of response from Adobe like many others... I rely on it for my job, and there's nothing more frustrating then when it's physically not possible to meet a deadline because the software fails... I'm sure the new version will have lots of bug fixes, but what are Adobe doing to make sure there won't be new bugs in the new version? I've spent a ton of money on Adobe products so far, and feels like they don't give their users a lot of respect.

"Just wait for AI 2020... enough said.."
Are you kidding us? every single new release / update / patch / hotfix of the Adobe Creative Suite is plagued with bugs, problems and issues, and Adobe support to zilch to help. I stay around 3-7 versions behind current version, simply because new versions are so unreliable... Even when they release AI2020, I won't be using it any time soon...
Personally I think it would be better if Adobe did their own software testing, rather then using their customers as guinea pigs.

Comes back to my point of if you need to have a canvas to place artboards, why can't the canvas size be set by the user? If you're designing icons, you can create a canvas of a few hundred pixels. If you're designing for large format print, you make the canvas a few metres across.
Thus canvas size is user generated, so the program is always running efficiently.

I've nothing to hide, thought I was logged in so apologies for the "anonymous" comment. I wasn't trying to get at the user, just very very cynical about Adobe's software efforts.
My point was that Adobe probably has around 13-15 million users across their programs. Let's say the votes on this post represent 1% of the users that actually have the issue, so only 1 in a 100 upvote this post. That means that 55,300 users are having this problem. Based on 14M users, this is about 0.004% of their users.
To Adobe that's probably just chickenfeed... we don't matter enough to them to do something serious about it. I believe this feature has been requested in forums etc for almost 10 years now... If Adobe was going to do something about it, surely they would have done something years ago?

trackhorse. the number of people that need this is probably 0.0001% in all reality. They won't change so useless commenting.

Hello,
Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience the issue has caused. We do test our products thoroughly including running it through multiple beta testers and we really regret that this issue slipped past our quality checks.
We have a fix and is available in the pre-release build. Please visit https://adobe.ly/1o2SDsg and get the latest build for version 23.0.5 (Build 3). While the build is prerelease this build is still of production quality. Please feel free to use/recommend it for your day to day activity.
We would appreciate if you can give us the feedback on the correctness of the fix by pressing the Thumbs up button on the UserVoice page.Regards,
Ankit Goyal

to anonymous - bit of a narrow minded approach, sounds like the juniors need to be trained in vector rather than penalising the program.
Been following this discussion for a while now, I think it's good that something is being done about this but also disappointed that it's not a proper solution - from what I've seen and heard it seems to be a bit of a get-you-by bodge that changes the scaling of the existing canvas to appear bigger. I still maintain that the best approach for this would be to allow users to select their canvas size and zoom level. Then if working on a small icon, the program will be fast and efficient, if working on a full size bill board than it's also possible even if the user suffers in memory and processor usage. (if you're regularly working on massive raster designs than expect to have to get a computer with the processing power to back it up)
good luck all.
