XD became unresponsive &pinwheels when switching to it from another application.

Community Beginner ,
Mar 06, 2020 Mar 06, 2020

Since updating to XD 2020, every time I alt-tab to XD from another application, the program doesn't respond and displays the pinwheel. After a few seconds it will "wake up." None of the other CC apps have this behavior. 

 

Is there a remedy for this? I haven't tried uninstalling, but if I need to, is there a specific method of uninstalling/reinstalling?

Hi Brian,

 

That's an unexpected behavior. I unable to reproduce the same at my end on my windows machine. Would you mind trying to sign out of XD and Creative Cloud app and sign back in and restart the machine?

 

Let us know if that helps.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Thank you for trying the initial troubleshooting steps. Would you mind trying to do a fresh installation as mentioned in this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html?

 

Let us know if that helps.

That seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you!

 

Edit: The lag has returned. See post below.

Spoke too soon. After reinstalling and working properly, it has now gone back to having a lag where nothing happens for a few seconds after switching from another application. Same pinwheel as before. 

 

Edit: Some additional info. The lag occurs even if I close every file and only have the "Design. Prototype. Share." welcome screen.

Hi Brian, 

 

Sorry for the delay in response. Would you mind confirming if the issue persist after installing the recent build, XD 29?

If yes, please share the screenshot if where it usually stuck and steps to reproduce it. 

 

Thanks,

Yes the issue is persistent. I am now using a different Mac with 32GB of memory and still have sluggish performance. Restarting XD does not help. I am using the most current version of XD, MacOS is 10.14.6.

 

The issue is not sporadic, it is conistent behavior. It is most noticeable when I am needing to cut/paste text from another application, usually Chrome browser or a Word document. When tabbing back to XD, XD will not respond for about a second, and sometimes will show the pinwheel.
