Hi, I've recently encountered this green circle plus sign next to the arrows in Adobe Illustrator and it appears to kept appearing whenever I'm trying to move an object. Does anyone know what that is and how can I make it stop from appearing? as it seems that it has become a distraction for me limits my movements. Would really appreciate the help to enable it, Thanks!

    I've started seeing same issue after updating to v26.1 Illustrator and MacOS Monterey 12.3, very annoying, I simply try to drag/move an object and the green circle with plus appears then system beeps, nothing else has changed apart from above, no other software, plugins or hardware installed.

      I'm using Illustrator 26.1 on Monterey as well. But it's Monterey 12.1

      So this might be related to the system.

       

      But also you could try and reset Illutrator's preferences. This will erase all your settings.

        That is the typical cursor on the Mac when you add something into the brushes or symbols panel.

        It's not something native to Illustrator. Do you have any system plugins installed that might cause it?
