Illustrator 29.5.1 performance issues yet to be solved in current updates

Computer specs above, running Version 29.5.1 of Adobe Ilustrator.

 

Anyone else currently having issues with performance when doing gpu/multi object/ multi layer intensive work? I have had 2 main bugs causing the most grief while working in a professional setting.

 

1. When dragging to scale objects, the size of the object jumps size inside the scale box that stays true to dragging. If you maintain resizing you can drag it back to the size you are mouse pointing too. However, this glitch leads to scaling at random based on how zoomed out of the artboard you are.

 

2. Working within groups and then clicking back out of them causes objects to disappear until you click where on them or zoom in and out etc. Not sure what causes this but this happens with text not changing until you recolor or do something to alter it as well. Very strange glitch.

 

These two are the most hainous but there are other nagging issues since the release of 29. Any workarounds or settings adjustments anyone has found to fix these issues?

Hello @Daniel33961456qpgu,

Could you share more details, like whether Illustrator behaves this way with all files, and a small screen recording of your workflow and the problem so I can better assist you?

Also, try the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/4jZz7ct) and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
