How do i get rid of the live preview of strokes
Illustrator has changed how the preview of strokes work while dragging. In older illustrator versions a objects when drawn draws and edits in preview mode and then updates on release. New illustrator starts previewing objects live when I drag them.
How can i get the old behaviour back? It is essential to my workflow.

I can see how that could be a benefit. However the old way has benefits:
- It uses up less resources when your manipulating lots of points in complex drawings with lot of intricate strokes on the object. Illustrators biggest problem is perfomance.
- It makes it harder to do intricate work as there more clutter.
And no because your going to suggest it. Going to preview mode does not help since then i lose too much info.
Another thing
This seems to be a regular outcome, i update or illustrator gets updated for me. I scream loudly at the machine for several days. Rollback and am angry at you. Anyway i know that you dont care about that. But do you guys even know how to use illustrator for some work?
However the deeper problem is: Your development startegy makes it hard for me to teach students how to use Illustrator. I mean atleast supply new users with sane user interface choices. It does not look good if fist thing i have to do is disable 6 different options, and modify the user interface so thatthe users have even some chance of surviving teh exercises.
Anyway there is a lot fo things you COULD improve that would actually make a HUGE impact on how well illustrator users would see it. This feature, the shapes live shapes feature etc etc. are all lemons. I keman i am available to consult you. I can even do it for FREE just as long as you guaramntee you read my document.
