Pen tool is lagging- Illustrator CC2020 on macOS Mojave

[Bkern2449]

I'm using AI 2020 on a 2019 27 inch Retina 5k iMac using MacOS Mojave at work, and suddenly the pen tool will lag so far behind where I'm actually clicking.

I don't have this issue on my 2013 Macbook Pro at home at all.

Is there a setting or something that I'm missing that will allow for the pen tool to actually make a point in real time. I'm trying to vectorize a landscape and the pen tool will get 5-10 points behind where I'm actually clicking. 

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I'd recommend resetting preferences once. Please follow instructions given on 

https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html#setting_illustrator_preferences 

**Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also take a backup of the folders in case you want to. Location is mentioned in the article.

If it does not help, try turning off GPU Performance under Preferences > Performance.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Ashutosh
