I am still having this issue.  happened from one day to the next.  I am also noticing that when i use the select tool and I click on a item, it will hold on to that item for a brief moment instead of just selecting the item, as if i was clicking and draging the item over.  Almost feels like a late reaction.  My mac book pro is clean.  I am not having any issues with Photoshop or after effects.  I will stop using beta and see if the non beta illustrator works better.

So i am noticing that there is a delay on my click.  I click on an item and it wont select it immediately.  it's like a 2 second delay.  so when im working and I click and move over to change the color of it for example it will move the item over to where i have the swatch panel.  Man what is going on?  how can i fix this.

Same here! Quite normal for the past few days.
I had no idea why this issue popped out!

I had the exact same problem. After dragging the view with the spacebar, the tool remained active even after releasing the spacebar.
