I have a one year old iMac, late 2015 model, with 24gb RAM. I've never had trouble running Adobe programs until this last update - now, every time I try to highlight existing text in Illustrator, it lags like crazy, and as of tonight, it's not even working... It doesn't freeze, it just spins the pinwheel until I click a different tool. I can type new text just fine, but am completely unable to highlight existing text. Does it in every document, new or old, and the problem continues despite restarting the program & my computer. It seems like everything else is working properly, but for whatever reason, it doesn't want to highlight text; I've even had it crash the entire program a couple of times over the last couple of weeks. I found a thread about a similar problem in InDesign, and gave the solution posted there a shot, but it didn't help. Problem exists with both text typed in a text box or on a line drawn with the Pen tool. I am running version 23.0.1 of Illustrator, and Mac OsX Mojave 10.14.1. If I can't work it out, I'll be going back to the last version of Illustrator, but I'd *really* like to stick with this one. Any ideas on how to resolve?
