Screen frequently shifts while I am working zoomed in.

Windows 10 PC, 64 GB RAM, 8TB SSD @

NVIDIA RTX 3070

Illustrator 28.5

When I am working on a drawing and I need to zoom way in to work on some detail, before I can modify the detail, the entire screen shifts. I cannot tell if it always shifts in the same direction or the same amount.When it shifts, I cannot see where I am so I have to use CTRL-0 and find the place again.

Could there be some setting causing this??? Plugin?

Thanks.

Hello,

It sounds frustrating to have your screen shift unexpectedly while zooming in on details in Illustrator. Here are a few things you can try to resolve this issue:

Disable GPU Performance:
Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance.
Uncheck the GPU Performance option and see if this helps.
Adjust Zoom Preferences:
Go to Edit > Preferences > General.
Check the Zoom to Selection option. This can help keep the focus on the area you’re working on.
Turn Off Animated Zoom:
Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance.
Uncheck the Animated Zoom option. This can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.
Update Graphics Drivers:
Ensure your NVIDIA RTX 3070 drivers are up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause performance issues.
Check for Software Updates:
Make sure Illustrator is updated to the latest version. Adobe frequently releases updates that fix bugs and improve performance.
Disable Rulers:
If you have rulers enabled, try disabling them by pressing Ctrl + R. This has been known to improve performance and reduce lag.
