Permanent lag after switching to outline mode in Illustrator 25.3 on Windows 10

[Nathan England]

After the latest update to 25.3, when I open a file the inteface is fine, zooming in and out is quick. But as soon as I switch for the first time to outline mode, it starts lagging and when I go back to regular view, it's worse. Significant lag in panning and zooming, up to 1/3 - 1/2 second delay from rolling the scroll wheel to zooming happening. This is permanent until I close the file and reopen it. It has happened on all files I have opened.

Hi Nathan,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would it be possible for you to try resetting the preferences of the app once & see if it changes the behavior? You may also try toggling the GPU Performance under Preferences > Performance and see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, we'd appreciate if you can share a small video of your workflow. This will help us assist you accordingly.

Regards,

Hi all, thanks for the follow up.

I deleted the preferences file, and it didn't make any difference at the time but it seems that the issue is no longer present, in the original file or others. I haven't made any other changes.

Regardless, the problem is no longer presenting, so I will consider it closed.

On my Mac Mini running Big Sur, I have this EXACT problem too...........resetting prefs, etc. makes NO difference.

Strikingly, my colleague also has this issue on his Mac running the same specs.....

So far, no response from Adobe.

Same thing in Illustrator 27.2 (2023) in Windows 10
It's a well specced machine with a 3080 and it's running like trash after briefly switching to outline mode.
