Thank you for your reply, Anshul. Resetting the preferences did fix the problem, but allow me to answer your questions more specifically.
Yes, it was happening on all files, both cloud documents and local files.
I recently restored my system from a TimeMachine backup, but I can't pinpoint when the problem began, if it was before or after the restore. As an aside about the restore, I did find a separate issue with Rush that I will detail below.*
I have two external monitors with three Ai palettes docked on a second monitor in my usual workspace.
I hope that helps.
* Not related to this issue or to Ai, but the Mac OS seems to run a verify program any time an app is first launched after a restore (I'm just learning this myself). I was trying to export a video from Rush and the progress bar moved to 100% without error, but no mp4 file was generated. After several hours of re-exporting with different settings and to various locations with the same result each time, I guessed the MediaEncoder was not launching. I manually launched the MediaEncoder, the OS verified the app, I re-exported the file, and it worked. The only thing I can think of is that Ru handed the file off to MediaEncoder, but the OS never ran the verify script and MediaEncoder never launched, so nothing happened. The progress bar went to 100% as normal, no error messages, but no exported mp4 file, nothing. Just something to be aware of in the future, the Mac OS doesn't seem to be sending any kind of error or alert unless an app is manually launched by a user action after a system restore and the OS verifies the app. Developers working on automated workflows like this can't assume the OS will launch an app in this situation.
