Question

Drawing a rectangle creates many copies

I have just started to experience this issue on both my mac at work and at home. When I draw a rectangle it creates what appears to be 100's of copies. It cannot be a stuck key as I am experiencing the same issue on differennt macs. I was using Ai 27.7 but an update to 27.8 does not resolve the issue. See screen shot attached.

 

Thanks

In case it is not a Tilde key issue, you may just quit Illustrator and/or restart your computer.

 

In my experience this misbehaviour sometimes appears from nowhere (more often in the Windows version of Illustrator).

Check if your tildy key is stuck.

 

This might also be other software interfering with Illustrator
