Illustrator Settings Fault

[sheriffofworksop]

Can anyone shed light on why this is happening (see screenshot)?

I've checked display settings, reinstalled the programme, sworn lots, but without any success. And I can't change a damn thing in any of the settings.

Thoroughly frustrated!

Did you try resetting the Preferences? Have a look at this article: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/how-to-reset-illustrator-preferences/m-p/1060...

and this genreal help link: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html

Hi Rene. I have indeed. Reset the whole app, without success.

That title "app preference pane is sized too small to access settings" is very misleading...

Ooops I sense forum fatigue setting in, I'm off home.

Go EAGLES!

What the hell are you talking about?! 🤪

There's a post in the forum with a title that EXACTLY encapsulates your issue which YOU could have found easily... that's what I was saying...

Hello @sheriffofworksop,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. We are here to help and would like to suggest trying to manually reset Illustrator's preferences, as suggested by Monika, using the steps shared in the community post. Additionally, try the following steps and check if it helps:

• Close all Adobe applications
  
• Navigate to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP
• Rename the UXP folder to UXP.old
• Relaunch Illustrator

If you don't mind, could you please follow the steps and share your observations with us? We appreciate your time and effort in helping us resolve this issue.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Anubhav
