Cant select small images illustrator

i constantly have the same issue, yes it's any image, embedded or linked, that is scaled whatever AI thinks is too small. if that image is grouped with other objects, i cannot isolate it or select it as a key selection to align other things with. nothing works until i scale it up again. seen this issue in forums since 2018... adobe bots keep pretending it's user error, as they are unable to actually fix things, only roll out experimental features and easy buttons to automate work that usually cannot be automated...

Hello @emilsvedin,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I tried replicating this behavior on my end but could not. Could you share more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator and whether this happens with all files, so we can better assist you?

Also, try resetting Illustrator's preferences as described in this article (https://adobe.ly/4fYFCuQ) and check if it helps.

Disclaimer: Please note that renaming preferences folders will remove all the custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also save a backup of the folders, the location of which is mentioned above.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
