Hi, is there someone else with the problem that backspace erares text very slowly? Illustrator is running perfectly, but as soon as I hit backspace when editing text it takes about 4 seconds to erase 1 character.
Exact same problem for me. Everything is working fine and as fast as I am used to (for Adobe's mediocre level of "smooth" then). But in a textfield it goes crazy slow when trying to backspace one or more characters.
Which version, which system?
Adobe Illustrator 2023 (27.1.1) - macOS 13.01 - Apple M1 Max - 16' MacBook Pro - 32GB Ram
When was the last time you rebooted the system?
This morning, happens no matter of freshness of boot or app start
Which font is it and does it happen with all fonts?
Both system, custom as Adobe Fonts
Do you use font management?
Only the installed macOS font manager and have activated one font (Montserrat) via Adobe Fonts
How many fonts are installed?
44 custom - no conflicts according to macOS font manager
How long is the textframe?
Happens with both small text area's as bigger ones. In text area but also in text line (point text?)
Is this happening in other applications as well?
Nope, also not in other Adobe apps
Please check if toggling Ctrl/Cmd + E helps.
Just tried it. Even with CPU preview enabled it is terribly slow in backspacing characters
Is this happening with some specific files?
No, I even just tried a new Cloud document. I normally work with local files
Thanks for sharing the details, and sorry to hear about this experience. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under a different admin account on your computer and check if it helps?
