I won't write much. This issue has been contanstly talked about on the forums and on reddit for the past 3 months, which has been flagged by the developers.

Hopefully, we will see a compatibility fix between illustrator and mac os Tahoe very soon.

All I ask is the developers update us on the current situation regarding this issue.

Come on Adobe, Tahoe has been out for months and Illustrator STILL does not work properly. When opened it instantly maxes out the fans and runs att 104% of CPU on my M4. Just insane.

@szymon_5776 I think it will always be an issue when Adobe updates an app, but then the OS for MAC or Windows or behind; or maybe it's the other way around... it's always playing catch-up with someone!
