Hey @nimbling, thanks for reporting this! Can you try the latest development build (last one released today), and see if it fixes this issue? Otherwise, I would also appreciate a quick screen recording of this issue :)

This is a video showing illustrator lagging, then me quitting loop, illustrator not lagging, and then starting loop again, to show illustrator lagging. At the end I show the exclusion configured in "excluded apps"

thank you so much for having a look!

(I resorted to just quitting and starting loop with a shortcuts automation when I start and quit Illustrator at the moment.... ;) )

I finally had a chance to try this, but wasn’t able to reproduce the issue. @SenpaiHunters also couldn’t reproduce it :(

Could you export your keybinds from the Advanced tab and share them here? Also, what key are you using as your trigger? If you try a different trigger key, does the problem still happen? Lastly, can you reproduce this in any other graphics-editing software or similar applications?

I'm sorry for the delay!
I tried recording it, but the recording itself caused a similar stutter of the panning performance. So, it misses painted frames of the "hold spacebar to pan" panning action.

Very happy, in the meantime, to be able to start it hidden, this will at least make my "start / stop Loop with Illustrator" relatively seamless ;)

Here's my bindings.
Loop Keybinds.json

Again, THANK YOU! 👋
