Version 28.5 has some issues.
I updated my Illustrator to 28.5 at the beginning of the week, but today I had to roll back to 28.4.1. I was having terrible issues with long wait times for copy and paste, I was getting so many "not responding" alerts, but most frustrating of all were the issues with dragging objects and panning with the hand tool. I layout pages for parts manuals and I am constantly arranging views on pages. I struggled with not being able to move any objects around on the page. I would select the object, illustrator would brielfy stop responding and I'd get the spinning cursor. Once the object was selected, trying to move it was a problem. More often than not, I just couldn't move it unless I waited for 10 to 20 seconds. I'd have the object highlighted, click on it to drag it, and I would have to keep the mouse button pressed and slowly drag the mouse. After waiting the 10 to 20 seconds, and another "not responding" message, I could move it. It was taking FOREVER to get my job done! Placing text was also another ordeal. I place my text tool where I wanted it, and it might or might not place the text cursor. If it did, then wahtever I typed would take several seconds to appear. Hopefully these issues are addressed quickly. I'm back to 28.4.1 and it instantly fixed my issues.
