When I click on an object, the app freezes and wherever my mouse was the object will move to it

Like I said in the title, every single time I click on an object, the app freezes for a second or two and then moves the object to wherever the mouse was. 

Its rendered the app unusable, every little thing takes me 3x as long to do it because of this.

 

Working on Illustrator 2024 28.0

im on Ventura 13.6

Anybody got any fixes?

I've tried the following:

- Rebooting the system
- Reinstalling Illustrator
- Downgrading Illustrator
- Resetting prefs

 

Other adobe software seems to be working perfectly, it seems to just be Illustrator


Does this also happen when you boot into Safe mode?

Sounds like you might be running Magnet in the background, or a similar program that is accessing your screen. To find out, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. Toggle the switch on each of the apps one at a time as you test the peformance in Adobe.


Using your computer in safe mode is surely not a long term solution.

Do you have any additional hardware connected? A Wacom?

What kind of mouse do you use?

Is it enhanced by some special mouse driver?

Hey!

No additional hardware connected. Mouse is just the laptop's trackpad. Nothing else
