Illustrator double click to isolate issue

[Christian Albert]

Since today I am facing the issue with double click to isolate: it doesn't work anymore. It just moves the element or group I am trying to isolate around when trying to double click.

I am using Illustrator v29.1 on macOS 15.1.1 (latest versions).

I thought that this issue might occur because of the newest Illustrator version. So I downgraded to 29.0.1. This didn't fix the issue.

I also tried to reset prefecrences in Illustrator. Didn't fix the problem.

I restarted my mac as well as Illustrator. Didn't fix the problem.

I also tried to use another trackpad (my old one). Didn't fix the problem.

I also tried to use a mouse (instead of trackpad). Didn't fix the problem.

I also tried to increase and decrease double click speed (as mentioned on top). None of it fixed the problem.

I checked browser tools as well as double clicks on my desktop (which work perfectly) to make sure, that I don't have a systemwide issue with dblclicks.

Any other ideas?

Hello @Christian24040117ds6c,

I can imagine how annoying it is to face issues in Illustrator, especially after following all the suggested solutions. I attempted to reproduce this issue on my side but was unsuccessful. Could you please provide a screen recording of your specific workflow and the issue so I can attempt to replicate it on my end?

I look forward to your response.

I am facing the exact same issues! I noticed a change across all my Adobe apps after I did the most recent Adobe updates. It is extremely frustrating.

Do you have Magnet installed?

I was having the exact same issue, had tried everything you mentioned as well, and Monica's comment about Magnet worked for me! Once I quit Magnet I was able to double click to isolate again.
