Hi @JoseAntonio23124510tx0i,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Adding to the expert's suggestions, could you please confirm if this happens in all documents or just a specific one? Also, please share your Illustrator version and operating system details. Try manually resetting Illustrator preferences and then test if the issue continues. You can follow the steps here: https://adobe.ly/3LkSv7g or check this quick video guide: https://adobe.ly/4oQpdM5. If the problem persists, and you need to reinstall Illustrator, please use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to completely remove the app before reinstalling: https://adobe.ly/47qNjHu.

 

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek

Some people have solved that by uninstalling/reinstalling.

Iwould first try:

reboot the computer

reset the Illustrator preferences
