Artboard Rotation while using touchpad for zoom in Illustrator 25.3

Me too, it's infuriating. 

please remove or provide a lock this is slowing me down so much its extreamly irrritating 

It should be fixed soon. Many tools in illustrator must suggest on/off option.

I would love to be able to lock and unlock the rotate view with shortcuts too, so that I wouldn't need to go into menu settings to change it. In the meantime I have set up a personal shortcut cmd + shift + 0 for reset view rotation, that way I can fit to screen the active artboard and reset rotation with two very quick shortcuts. Shouldn't need to though!!

For what it's worth on my system 2018 iMac/Big Sur/Apple trackpad: it appears there is a system wide difficulty in recognizing pinch/zoom/rotate on the Apple trackpad - it's difficult to employ rotating in a similar way even in the Apple Maps app. What Apple does get right is that when rotating there's a 'snap to standard view' employed when rotating so at least there's that. This is suggested along with a lock feature for those who don't want to use it.

I dislike this new tool. I spend more time readjusting my board after I accidentally rotate my artwork with trackpad.

It's not making a lot of sense to me why Adobe supports the community.adobe.com forums, the uservoice platform, the Slack channel and for now the prerelease forums - there are too many places to track down what's being posted about the issues. Time for consolidation?

On my 2017 iMac with OS Big Sur with an Apple trackpad, when trying to zoom in and out there seems to be a problem identify between zooming/pinching and turning/rotating - while zooming at times it will go into rotation mode for a half-second and then will continue zooming in or out. But then I am unable to reimplement the rotate gesture with the trackpad - the result being that I can't presently use the canvas rotation feature at all. Can this be isolated to my system? - Mark
