Question

Illustrator is randomly generating last used item from my library

I'm working on a fairly large document and utillize an element from my library as it is the background for all of the pages I'm working on.
It'll frequently and randomly copy that same element from my library onto my canvas without my doing.
I'm not accidenly hitting any possible keys, because it'll do it, even when my hands aren't on the keyboard.

How do I get this to stop? I've updated the software and closed out/restarted my computer and it's still doing it.

Hello @erstellt.designs,

 

We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter technical issues while working in Illustrator. I hope the suggestions shared by Monika helped resolve the problem. If not, kindly try running Illustrator under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
