Illustrator :: CS6 Mouse Jumping Around Erratically
Jan 17, 2013
Since installing Illustrator CS6 I am finding that my mouse jumps around the screen erratically while trying to draw making it almost impossible to use the program. It is particularly bad when I connect to a projector for training purposes. This doesn't happen with any previous version of Illustrator (or any other program for that matter). I know it isn't something as simple as my mouse because I tried several different ones but to no avail.
I am using Illustrator CS6 for Windows on Windows 7 and my problem is mainly on my laptop which is a Dell Vostro 1520.

Illustrator has been having a problem where anytime that I click the mouse down, it starts jumping around the screen, usually to about 2" down and 3" from the left of the screen. This is only in Illustrator though, Photoshop, and any other programs work fine.
I've tried disabling the Logitech driver too,

Adobe Creative Suite CS2

When I open a large facility building drawing my mouse is "jumping" on the screen.
The resolution of the mouse does not allow me to select obejects on the screen because the mouse jumps in large increments.
I do not have this problem on smaller drawing, such as electrical schematics.
Is there a setting to increase the resolution of the mouse movemrnt id AutoCAD?

what can I do to avoid the annoying mouse cursor "delay" or "jumps" when I move it inside my project ?
I have one surface and 3 aligments....
I have tried turn off tooltips on general options but... yes I dont see tooltips but the mouse seems to investigate the objects below the cursor....
In adittion,. is there a variable to control this ?

I just installed CS6. I have found a resizing problem that seems to exist relating to both objecgts and type.
For example, I was changing the leading in some text. I typed in 11.8 and the next thing I know the leading is set as 2 pts. I have changed other thiings within the text window and had the type rescale its width. It is a bit like "whack-a-mole" in that you fix one thing and it resets something else.
When I have typed in numbers to proportionately resize an object, the next thing I know, the computer makes it much smaller. If I hit command-Z to try to get back to where I started, it resizes it in even increments (like .125" or something).
Is this some kind of maddening helper function (like the spelling correction in mail program) that can be turned off?

I have two Apple 30" Cinema displays, a 24" Cintiq and an overhead projector. My illustrator files keep on jumping from one of the Apple Displays either to the Cintiq or the projector even if they are off. Also illustrator files may open in any one of them.

How do I use the arrow keys with the paint bucket to contain only a select portion of colors from a color group in the swatch panel? I create a color group, but when I arrow right or left, it uses a couple colors, then it jumps all over the place.

I use tabs in my document for indentation. When my cursor is at the beginning of a line, and I use the up/down keys, the cursor always jumps to the end of the first tab.
This only happens in tab-indent, not space-indent.
Is this supposed to be a "feature"? How can I make it stay at the same cursor position when navigating with arrow keys?

CS6 keeps crashing and doing crazy things on me while working on my 2D/3D composite digital room setting. It seems to me like what's causing most of the crashing is the materials. Here's the problems:
- Crashes constantly while simply trying to select a material from the 3D panel
- Sometimes places meshes in a totally different spot in the scene and dissallows me to move them elsewhere
- Meshes are gone when opening the file, and I can't get them to reappear
I'm trying to stay composed at this point. My artwork would look great if, well, 3D in CS6 would simply WORK. But I'm remaining calm, and consulting you all..
I'm modeling, texturing, and UV mapping the 3D room objects (such as tables, chairs, hutches, etc.) in Maya 7, exporting as .obj files and placing into PS, and merging them with the scene layer in order for everything to have consistent lighting.I've also tried taking the 3D settings to Basic and the shadow quality to low, in case the crashes are due to cpu performance. I've also went and got the latest update for PS CS6
Here's some system specs:
Win7 Home Premim, 64 bit
2.8ghz Intel Core i7
8gb ram ddr3
NVidia GeForce 310 512 mb

I'm working with 27 artboard in illustrator for one project. I would like to select the object I need to get to in my layers panel and have illustrator "jump/navigate" me to the object where it resides on the artboard. Is this possible?

how to turn off the mouse function when the mouse cursor moves over a feature, such as an edge, point, or surface, and highlights it. I don't want it highlighting the features automatically. I want it to highlight once I click over a feature. My colleagues and I are very distraught by this feature, and will be discontinuing our use of your products that do not allow us to turn this feature off. I'm not sure why you'd want to weed your customer base like this, assuming that I can't turn this option off from the research I've done pouring through the hundreds of complaints related to this issue. I haven't been able to find any posts recently, or regarding Inventor 2013 specificially on this issue, so I was hoping this version had the option of turning it off. Does any of Autodesk's software, such as AutoCAD, have the option of turning it off?

In CS5 the tracking was fine, now to match that, I'm having to hold shift at the same time as Ctrl or when scrolling. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

I am not entirely sure why but all of a sudden my abienlity to drag anything with my mouse has been disabbled. When I try, it makes the ding noise that goes with being unable. I can still move the objects with the arrow keys. I am not that experienced with CS6 having only recently up graded.

I'm using Illustrator CS4 - Windows and I'm not able to scroll up and down using the mouse wheel nor can I scroll side to side using the mouse wheel with the ctrl-spacebar. I'm looking for how to enable this function within Illustrator, but am unable to find it.

Specifically, I would like to be able to click and hold my middle mouse button to drag the screen, a la the Hand Tool. Additionally, I'd like scrolling my mouse wheel to zoom in and out, rather than scroll the screen up and down. I know this can be done by holding Spacebar to use the left mouse button to drag the screen, but I'd like to be able to do it with my scroll wheel alone, especially since it doesn't already seem to be filling any other important function.

I've noticed that the Magic Mouse for Apple Macs seems to interrupt actions when the finger is left on the surface of the mouse after scrolling about. Adobe, is this something that you're looking into?

we have a problem with Illustrator.Illustrator pulls behind selection. You can't select an object with the Selection tool, without afterwards draw the object by moving the mouse. A new installation and resetting Illustrator was unsuccessful.

I'm currently using windows 8. OS Version is not related to this issue I think since I'm using both CS5 and CS6.CS6, compared to CS5, scroll increment is just too small, and there's no option for this in CS6. It is a real pain while zoomed in.

I am using Illustrator on a Wacom 24HD on a PC, which works quite well, except that as a right handed person, the tooltips, which appear to the right of the mouse cursor, are covered by my hand. Windows (and the Wacom settings) both have a left hand / right hand setting which control where a popup menu appears, however, I do not see anywhere where I can control where the tooltips appear, presumably because this is an Illustrator feature, not a Windows feature. Its particular important for this application because tooltips are used for information (such as size when dragging out new shapes), not just for beginners needing a reminder what a button means. To put the tooltips to the left of the cursor instead of the right?

Say I am moving a text box with the arrow keys and decide to edit it. To do so, I would have to leave the arrow keys and reach for the mouse to execute the text edit. How do I edit from the keyboard?

I've been using Inkscape for a long time and decided to switch to Illustrator CS6 now for better compatibility with PDF standards. While most things are very similar in both programs, one thing enormously bugs me in Illustrator each time I use it. In Inkscape, you could hold down your middle mouse button (mouse wheel) and move the mouse to simultaneously navigate on both the horizontal and vertical viewport axis. In other words, holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse would pan the view in both directions. Is there any chance (program setting, plug-in) of getting a similar behavior in Illustrator (doesn't have middle mouse button, just some easy way to navigate in all directions)? I know that you can rotate the mouse wheel to pan the view vertically and holding CTRL while using the mouse wheel pans it horizontally, but that's just cumbersome and totally counter-intuitive.

I try to drag something - either a whole shape, a point or when I'm using a tool like the pencil or the knife and need to have a continuous path, Illustrator is glitching on me. It keep breaking my path and jumping a little even though I never let go of the mouse. Or when I'm trying to copy and paste something by dragging, it will suddenly unselect it, paste it where it was and then copy another shape. Crazy thing is, my mouse works fine on everything else non-Illustrator. It's happening in two different versions on two different computers, one of which has CS6 and is a brand new iMac.
I'm using the following:
5 year old iMac running OS X
Illustrator CS 3
The other computer is at work:
brand new iMac, can't remember the OS
Illustrator CS 6

in Illustrator CS6 I can no longer use my mouse wheel to scroll the list of fonts [which appear when you click the down arrow next to the font family] in the Character control panel. I could do this in CS5.
I think it dos not work in Photoshop CS6 either.

I've installed Illustrator CS6 recently and found the behavior of panning with the scroll wheel annoying. When I have low zoom values (e.g. 75%) the scroll wheel lets me pan U-D, L-R at normal speed, but if I zoom in (200% and up), the panning slows to a point where it is unusable at 600% and up. I use [Shift] to speed it up but at high zoom levels it's not enough. This wasn't the case for Illustrator CS5 or 5.5 where panning with the scroll wheel worked at the same speed at any zoom level.
