I have encountered some very annoying issues with Illustrator CC and OS X Sierra.
Here is the problem:
When I ran the Adobe Cloud suite on my brand new Imac with OS X El Capitan, it was running smoothly and beautifully.
I then upgraded the operating system to OS X Sierra. This is when the problems began.
Here are the issues:
- Tools get stuck while working. For example: If I am using the Brush tool, during my inking, it will get stuck on the Direct Selection tool for no reason, even though I didn't select it. If I try going back to another Tool, it wont let me.
- I am sometimes not able to select multiple objects at once while holding shift.
The temporary solution:
- Zooming in or out. It's almost as if it allows the program to refresh and fix itself.
This is very annoying, and started happening immediately after I upgraded to OS X Sierra. I highly recommend all Illustrator CC users not do upgrade to OS X Sierra unless these issues are resolved. I even contacted Adobe directly with an online chat representative and they could not figure out the issue either.

Hello,
After weeks of troubleshooting, I think I discovered the issue.
It's Wacom. Both Cintiqs and Tablets. Whenever I run into one of these issues while working (issues stated above), when I go to use my mac mouse, the issue disappears. I know Wacom has updated their drivers, but so far, this is the conclusion I came up with.
I still think Sierra OS is to blame as well, because it's causing problem in performance regardless, so hopefully they will get their **** together.

Hello
So far, what I did was I reverted back to El Capitan. I highly recommend this, especially if you are running an iMac. You're computer will run much faster.
As for the wacom issue itself, I am playing around with a driver. The driver is 6.3.15.3. You can download it here: http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.15-3.dmg
So far so good with using a Wacom tablet with this driver, but I didnt fully get to test it out on a Cintiq yet. Try it out and let me know how it goes.

MAC OSX Sierra, latest and Adobe Illustrator latest.
I'm getting sick of uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator every time I use it.
