Illustrator CC 2014 tools won't expand on non-touch screens

In Illustrator CC 2014.1.1 (18.1.1) the tools in the tool panel won't expand when the main Illustrator window is not on a touch screen. I am using the regular interface, not the touch interface.
I have three monitors, one of which is a touch screen. If I move the main Illustrator window onto the touch panel then the tools all work as normal.  As soon as the Illustrator window is on another monitor, it is impossible to expand any of the tools that normally roll out to reveal extra tools.  This has been driving me crazy for a month, and it was only today I discovered what was causing it.
Even if the tools aren't on the touch panel, they still work okay so long as the main window IS on the touch panel. Conversely if I move the tools to the touch panel but keep the main window on a non-touch panel, I can make them expand on the touch panel but ONLY with a finger touch and not with the mouse.
This is obviously a programming bug, but I have in case tried resetting my settings several times (and disabling settings sync).  Illustrator CC (non-2014) still works fine, as do the pop-out tools in InDesign CC 2014.  Prior to patching to 18.1.1 this worked fine in Illustrator CC 2014 too.
I am using Windows 8.1.

I reset the preference file more than once, just to be sure - has no effect.
As Monika says, you can ALT+click tools to cycle through them, but this is only a temporary solution and it would be good if the software could be fixed. It's very frustrating not being able to easily change to most tools from the UI. For now I have put my most-used tools on a custom tool bar instead.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 documents won't go full screen (and the UI is extremely low resolution)

    Illustrator CC 2014 does not seem to be running correctly.  My documents will not go full screen.  As you can see, there is a huge white gap surrounding the entire document.  I cannot grab the corners or sides to stretch it to full width.  On top of this, the whole interface is blown up and looks very low resolution. 
    Compare this to a screen shot of the previous version on the same computer:
    The document will expand to the full width available and the the UI looks much better.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I am using Windows 8.1

    Since you still haven't got your data from the drive(s). I would advise performing a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution but at this stage you have probably tried everything else.
    Use a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD when installing ensure you select...
    Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
    If you do not select any of the drive options and simply highlight the largest partition and select next:
    Windows will dump all the old installation files in the Windows.old folder

  • Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1 won't launch

    Hello,
    I have download and install the CC 2014 all work, and i did the update to 2014.1 for Illustrator and now i can't open it, i acn see in task the app start and after few second it's left. I dont see the first screen with artwork. How can i solve it ?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Do you have any third party plug-ins installed? Some of them might not be compatible with the latest version of Illustrator yet. Try disabling them and see if that works.
    Suitcase Fusion for example will require an update in order to work. Crash at launch | Mac OS | Suitcase Fusion 5
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Illustrator CC 2014 suddenly won't open on my Mac

    I've been working on Illustrator for a while on my Mac laptop and today it started crashing out of nowhere. Now it won't even open.

    Any error message?
    what exactly did you work?
    Have you already tried rebuilding the prefs file?

  • My iphone 5s screen won't work but the touch screen works perfectly...I've tried resetting it several times but it  continues to stay black. How can I fix this?

    Iphone screen is black but the touch screen works and everything else, I just can't see anything on the screen . I tried resetting it but that did nothing.

    You held down the home & power buttons until the Apple logo appeared? This could take as long as 30 seconds or more.

  • My ipod has suddenly 'zoomed in' and it won't zoom out. the touch screen does not move properly, and i do not know how to zoom it out

    My ipod has suddenly 'zoomed in' and it wont zoom out. the touch screen is not moving properly and I have looked in settings but there is no where to 'zoom it out'
    does anyone know how to fix this?

    It is three fingers, not two.  From the Users Guide:
    Zoom in or out:  Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 won't launch (Could not complete the requested operation) even after fresh install (3 times), anyone know how to solve? (Windows 8.1)

    Hi guys, my Illustrator CC 2014 won't launch, getting an error message "Could not complete the requested operation", this is not a specific file issue I can't launch Illustrator stand alone.  I've un-installed and re-installed about 3 times and contacted support but they haven't been able to solve as of yet.  It's a relatively fresh install of windows 8.1 and no custom fonts have been added.  I've tried deleting the preferences folders and launching and that has not had any effect.  No idea what else I can do, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Edit: Forgot to mention I have also tried running Illustrator as administrator and that Illustrator was running perfectly fine on this computer since install (about 2 weeks) before this started happening.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 won't open under my current admin profile.

    I recently installed Adobe CC 2014 suite on my Windows 7 OS. All the programs open properly with the exception of Illustrator CC. The error message I get is:
    Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Since receiving this message I have gone through other forum posts and have tried all (below) with no remedy.
    Uninstalled using Windows Uninstall Program followed by Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstalled. (I’ve done this numerous times. I also removed any prior software versions (CS5) along with preceding software preferences.)
    All of my OS drivers have been updated.
    Monitor, Processor and GPU Drivers are updated. NOTE: I’m running an Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz processor and an AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series GPU.
    I’m running my workstation as an admin user, however created a shared user group so InDesign would open properly. (This was my other problem I was having up until a few hours ago.)
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Verdana and Tahoma TTF fonts.
    I am not running or have installed any 3rd party plug-ins.
    I read a forum post that said you can get around this problem by creating a new admin account. I did and was able to open Illustrator under that profile; however I’m still unable to open it under my existing admin account. How can I get around this? There must be a way to get Illustrator to open in my current account.
    Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I’m now on day No. 2 trying to get this solved.

    Hello Mylenium,
    Is this what you need to determine what is causing Illustrator CC to crash upon opening the program?

  • Illustrator CC 2014 won't let me save.

    When creating a document in Illustrator CC 2014 (PC version), it will not let me save when either using the drop down menu and/or using the quickkey. I also noticed I can not open a file when using the same methods. I have quit the program and also rebooted the computer and no luck. I had this problem before and I uninstalled and reinstalled, however seems the problem resurfaced. Any ideas? I am using a PC 64-Bit, OS Win7 Pro, 4Gig memory with Intel Core i7 CPU 1.73GHz

    jargonis,
    You may have a look at the list below; when you reinstall under such circumstances you should always use the Cleaner Tool, or strangenesses may linger, see 6).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 - spacebar hand tool shortcut not working, how can I fix this?

    The hand tool is not being temporally activated by the spacebar in Illustrator CC 2014.
    I've restarted, deleted preferences, nothing seems to work.
    I’m pretty sure it was working when I first installed the new version - just stopped for no reason.

    MB&B,
    Item 7) under 5) in this list shows the usual suspects.
    You may also consider trying some of the other options on the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Right-click when using pen tool (Illustrator CC 2014)

    Am I imagining it or did I used to be able to right-click to stop drawing with the pen tool?
    How can I do this in Illustrator CC 2014 as it seems a bit frustrating to have to keep pressing P.
    Any suggestions gratefully received

    Thanks Jacob,
    Nothing generally, it just seemed natural to me, sort of like lifting the pen off the paper at the end of a line.
    Also, I am usually holding a glass of wine with the other hand
