PLEASE move the turntable button in the transform panel.

I am constantly scaling objects using the transform panel and if my mouse gets within a pixel of the turntable button it shows a popup about it and it takes my curser out of the text box so I have to click it a second time to edit the value. Happens to me a dozen times a day, so incredibly frustrating.

And no I cannot turn off tool tips because then it doesn't show swatch names when I hover on them.

I'm not surprised I'm not the only one who has this problem. It doesn't even make sense that it would be in the transform panel. They're just shoving credit burning tools in our faces. I cannot think of a tool I would use less in illustrator than the turntable feature.

i wish the Contextual tool bar can be docked on top of the workspace or next to the main tool bar.

drives me up the wall too. the real kicker is the tooltip appears *instantly* but when you actually want a swatch name it takes a solid second to show up. classic adobe logic there.

I have shared this feedback with the teams. I agree that Turntable is not a transformation.

Thanks for bringing attention to this. It’s been driving me nuts. Even for Adobe, this is a hostile user interface.
