    Illustrator CS5 Rotate Tool Anchor Point Bug

    Infinity_Spiral Community Member

      Summary:

      I can reproduce this bug consistently, every single time.  I am unable to set a new anchor point for the rotate tool in Illustrator CS5.

       

      Steps to reproduce the bug:

      1.  Create a new shape, doesn't matter what

      2.  Press R or just select the rotate tool

      3.  Alt-Click to pick up the anchor point and drag to a new posiiton

      4.  Let the mouse go- at this point the anchor stays locked to the cursor even if I click and am only able to unlock it from the cursor if I click on a new tool, but without getting to choose a new anchor point.

       

      Also I tried this with a Intuos 2 tablet and pen with the same results.  I have an NVidia Quadro FX 3500 card installed with the latest driver as well.

       

      I'm not sure if this issue is related, but also in After Effects CS5 if I press 0 to start doing a preview and then click away say on Firefox, then click back to After Effects, I am unable to click around inside After Effects to get the render to stop.  It makes me wait until the whole comp is pushed into a ram preview before it unlocks itself.

       

      Any ideas?
