Illustrator backspace erases very slow

[Thijs3]

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.

Which version, which system?

When was the last time you rebooted the system?

Which font is it and does it happen with all fonts?

Do you use font management?

How many fonts are installed?

How long is the textframe?

Hello @Thijs3,

Sorry to hear about the problem. Would you mind sharing a few more details along with the ones asked above by Monika:

• Is this happening in other applications as well?
• Please check if toggling Ctrl/Cmd + E helps.
• Is this happening with some specific files?

I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav
