I don't think I would call this a bug, but something has changed in Illustrator to where, if I draw an object, then hover over the corner to attempt to scale it, Illustrator now seems to prefer the rotation widget and I'm struggling a little to find the scale widget.  The thing is, in decades of using Illustrator this was never a problem for me until recently.  I don't know when I started to notice it but it's certainly been about a year or so.  I'm working a little bit on auto pilot so I select and attempt to scale, but it's actually rotating.  So I started experimenting to see how much effort it takes to "find" the scale widget and it's actually taking some effort and time.  It's really aggravating because I'm having to slow down and carefully select the scale widget just to scale an object.  I don't suppose there is any way to make Illustrator prefer the scale widget instead of the rotation widget.  In my time with Illustrator, I used to have to "find" the rotation widget, which was fine for me because I don't use it that much. Now I'm having to find the scale widget which I use constantly. ... View more

I have a custom toolbar.  If I select this new dimension tool, it instantly wipes out that custom toolbar.  It appears that all the tools are actually still there, but invisible. If I hover over the toolbar, I get a ghost image of where a tool was/is.  Resetting the workspace does not fix it.  Switching to a different workspace doesn't work either.  I dragged the dimension tool into the drawer and the same thing happened.  It wiped out my custom tool bar.  I force quit Illustrator and restarted.  This time, finally the dimension tool is gone from my toolbox.  This is my 2nd attempt at using 28.1 but was met with bugs both times. I'm finding so, so many bugs in Illustrator nowadays.     ... View more

As soon as I upgraded from 28 to 28.1 I began to notice this issue.  The moment I press Alt, the cursor stutters.  The first time it happened, if I held the cursor and just moved the mouse in circles, the cursor would jump from position to position rather than making smooth circular motions.  I rebooted the PC and hoped that would resolve it.  It was fine for an hour or two then it started back stuttering again, but not as bad as the first time.  Now, each time I press Alt, the cursor reacts with a quick pause then continues with whatever movement.  So if I sit here and move my cursor in circles then intermittently press alt, the cursor will stutter every time.  I'm getting really frustrated with Illustrator.  I used it for decades and it seemed like I never found any problems.  But in the last 5 years or so, I'm finding plenty bugs.  I don't even report all of them.  I only report the ones that are aggravating enough to report. I'm uninstalling 28.1 as soon as I finish writing this.  It's not good that we are paying for updates that we can't use.  Now I can't use the latest version of Bridge,  Illustrator, or Photoshop but I'm paying for all of them, and Adobe just raised the price! ...

This is Illustrator 28.  This has been happening for years in Illustrator so it doesn't matter which version.  The last part of the video where it looks like wireframe is actually something that doesn't get fully recorded.  There's a pop up that says, can't fininish previewing.  It turns off the GPU preview and I'm not able to turn it back on until I delete that shape.  I'm able to capture it with a screen capture but the video recorder doesn't capture that pop up.  So I'm including it here.  The other thing to understand about this is, after making 3 points, then closing the shape using "Add", if I then deselect the shape, before beginning to draw a new shape, then everything works as normal.  The first shape is fully closed and a new shape begins to be drawn.  But as shown in the video, if I do not deselect the first shape after closing it with "add", then it will get confused. The shape appears to be closed, but it's not. And as soon as you move it, you can see that it was actually not closed.  Also, after drawing the last 3 or 4 points, if you then try to view with wireframe, there is nothing there. No point and no paths.  But, as soon as I use the select tool to move it, the paths and points instantly appear.  Then pressing undo a few times eventually causes the preview problem.    Any version of Illustrator from the past few years Microsoft Windows 10 Home AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core Processor, 3094 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB Nvidia GeForce RTX2080 Ti   ...

This has been happening since the last 3 or 4 Illustrator versions.  Select object, double click a swatch, then tick the checkbox.  Adjust colors and the colors on the object do not respond.  I always have to tick the checkbox, untick it, then tick it again and then it will work. ... View more
