Illustrator CS4/CS5 Clicking Select Object Freeze Pinwheel Bug
Hello,
An odd post this: I had a post from a year ago asking about this bug but didn't find the solution. That post has been archived, and I since discovered the solution, so I thought I would post it here:
My problem was in illustrator CS4 and CS5 that selecting any object would cause my Mac to briefly freeze up (pinwheel) for about 5 seconds. I tried reinstalling / even wiping the whole computer with no result.
But it turns out the problem was with another application I have installed: RightZoom, which alters the behavior of the green window button to make it maximise. Because I use it so much it is one of the first things I download and reinstall after wiping my computer... so I kept getting the issue. Telling RightZoom to not apply on Illustrator instantly solved the issue!
Hope this helps anyone else who had the problem!
