Question

Cursor almost invisible after Illustrator 29.8.1 update on macOS 15.6.1

Seit dem letzten Update ist in Illustrator der Cursor nahezu unsichtbar. Habe schon div. Voreinstellungen durchprobiert und auch die Systemeinstellungen mehrfach geändert. Leider bisher ohne Erfolg. Ich arbeite mit macOS 15.6.1 und Illustrator 29.8.1.

Hi @Rainer Bünte,

 

I'm sorry to hear that the cursor has become almost invisible after the update. Since you’re already on macOS 15.6.1 with Illustrator 29.8.1, could you please try switching the GPU Performance option on or off from Illustrator's Preferences to see if it makes any difference? Moreover, please share screenshots of what you see for better understanding. Also, confirm if the issue is specific to a particular document. 

 

Looking forward to your update.

Hallo Abhishek,

die GPU-Leistung ein- oder ausschalten ergibt keinen Unterschied.

Anbei ein Screenshot zur Verdeutlichung. Ich hoffe du findest den Cursor.

Hi @Rainer Bünte,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Since toggling GPU Performance didn’t help, could you please try resetting Illustrator preferences and check if the cursor becomes more visible after that? Also, let me know if the problem shows up in every file or only in certain documents. Are you using a custom workspace? If yes, try creating a new one and see if the issue persists in that.

 

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek
