Question

Why can you not scrub to change sizes of text or Opacity percentage like in Photoshop?

I want to be able to hover over text sizes or change Opacity without holding down arrows or sliding a slider.

    In Illustrator 2026 just use the scrollwheel over a number input.

    In Illustrator 2027 you first have to click in the fiel and then scroll (thankfully)

    ​@Monika Gause Oh, I didn’t know Illustrator 2027 is now out. Scrolling it much faster! 
    any bugs with Illustrator 2027 yet?

    Currently at least nothing that is standing out.

    You can install it along your old version.
