Illustrator 27.3 crashing when displacing text or objects

Hello everybody

Since I updated Illustrator I have a lot of Crashes, mainly when displacing objects or manipulating text. Happily the recover functionality works fine, but I would like to get back to previous version, as I don't use the lastest functionnalities. Illustrator used to be the mors stable app I ever work with, and I appreciate this. Can some one tell me if its possible to redonwload previeous versions, like 26.x or something ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Illustrator 27.3 - Mac osx Monterey 12.5.1  - Mac mini M1

Had same issue with 27.3 and 27.3.1 - just re-installed 26 to see if it will prevent the same crash and it does!

 

Something wrong with the new versions.

 

Haven't tested to see how far back in versions the crash starts, I just randomly chose version 26.

 

Hope it works for you too.

You could try if 27.3.1 solves it.

If not, here's the way to install an older version: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html

Hello Thank you, back to latest 26 version and  it workds fine. There is too, forgot to mention it, a problem with some google fonts that doesn't display correctly, real mess. I'll wait a bit before updating to 27, Adobe needs to fix some bugs.
