I just clicked to a .dxf file and it opened in Illy'22, so I've clearly been using 2021 version without giving a care.
Anyway, this might come in handy for anyone like me who is immediately irritated by the loud blue 'share' icon in the top bar that I am literally never (ever) going to use.

Not Illustrator per se - but have you ever tried using Illustrator with a mouse that has an old worn left mouse microswitch that suffers double click problems?
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST FRUSTRATING THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE.
Why didn't I bring in a mouse from home today? I've been checking the mail at work every 15 minutes for the new replacement. I'm going crazy here.
- you can swap around L/R mouse buttons in your pref settings.shapesalad

'Selection tolerance does not apply for selecting handles and is broken for points'
Anyone else have that problem? Any ideas of fixes?
It's driving me insane...

Huh. I think I'm having ^this problem, but I've not upgraded from 2021 and it's started happening over the past few weeks.
I've just had a massive swear at being unable to move an anchor handle when the mouse is clearly on top of it, and there's none of the usual suspects turned on (eg. snap to grid)
- Yep. It's a bug. I can't upgrade to 2022 one as I am not updating my mac osx. But... tempted if the bug is fixed. It's been a bug for me since 2014 ish.shapesalad

Anyone try it? Looks good. Mac only.

Text boxes in illy... when you have the text input cursor right at the edge of the text box... that cursor is a blinking tiny 1pixel thin line, that disappears visually next to the border line of the text input box... so you are guessing where you are about to type.
Love it.

When you use the 'Recolor Artwork' feature... there's no ability to 'eyedropper' and grab a colour from your artboard etc.
I wish they would make the Recolor Artwork a standard UI panel and give you better global colour-adjusting functions.
Every update... nothing changes...

um.. when did Illustrator restrict measuring angles to whole degrees?! What the fuck? How am I supposed to straighten something out that's within a degree?! fucking hell.
