Animated zoom bug (workspace flickers and turns black when in a group)
- Windows 11 (latest)
- Illustrator 28.3
- The screen flickers and turns black using Animated Zoom within a group. If I exit the group (using escape), the screen returns to normal. Animated Zoom works normally as long as I am not within a group.
The video I've uploaded shows me double-clicking a group to enter it, then using Animated Zoom to produce the flickering and black screen. I hit escape to exit the group, and the screen returns to normal. I then demonstrate that Animated Zoom works correctly when not within the group.
Thanks

Real-Time Drawing and Editing mode does not work for objects with both an effect and opacity mask added
If an object has an opacity mask, Illustrator renders it correctly when the object is moved, the mask moves together with the object.
But if you apply an effect to this object, Illustrator will keep the mask in place while the object is moved, as if it has the mask unlinked.
On the other hand, if you unlink the mask for the object without the effect and try to move it — Illustrator will render it wrong again, as if the mask is linked, until you release the object.
Please see the GIF attached and try the file yourself.

Screen glitching when moving cursor
Any idea what's going on here? Whenever I open older files to edit information I'm getting a strange glitching when moving the cursor. It doesn't matter if I switch to Overprint or Preview - the issue immediately comes back. I've also Quit and Restarted and the problem still persists.

So, so bored of these constant issues when updating your software.

Artboard Borders Disappear when Scrolling/Panning
When I scroll or pan with the scrollbars or the hand tool the black border of the artboards disappear. This is super annoying as I keep my canvas white, so when I'm moving around the canvas, I can't see where the artboards are until I release the hand tool.

Blend in CMYK color mode and GPU preview = MOIRE
In CMYK mode the blend option looks really terrible with GPU preview. With these settings the Blend hets a jaggy moire effect.
Tested in different color modes with CPU and GPU preview. Only CMYK on GPU produces this nasty screen effect, see screenshots. I work mostyl in CMYK mode so I hope this can be fixed rapidly.
macOS 14.1.1 / Adobe Illustator 2024 v28.0
I'm sure this bug affects Illustrator v27.x too.

Blurry Image
It's probably a bug, when I move around the sheet it often happens that the object becomes blurry like the attached image, I work with a latest generation Mac Pro, but this problem occurs on all the PCs I have, what could it be? Thank you

Artboard not sizing correctly
This issue continues happening. I am attaching 2 screenshots showing the issue. Image 1 shows the top right corner of the artboard when I "fit to page." Image 2 shows the artboard after I've zoomed out once. The edge of the artboard moves in, but visually, the white part of the artboard doesn't move.

Flickering when zooming with animation after update to Illustrator 2024 28.3
I was trying to fix the insane lag in the previous version, even though I had all the drivers updated(I have MSI RTX 3080 and Ryzen Threadripper 3960X with 64 GB of RAM so it's not a performance issue).
After updating the lag got worse and when I zoomed in with the GPU enhancing features which is zoom with animation. The canvas was flickering when using the zoom shortcut CTRL+SPACEBAR. I then opened a fresh document and noticed this problem wouldn't occur. So the issue is the fact I had the view grid on on my other document.

Screen flashing while tool tips is on and hoovering over docked toolbar
While using the advanced toolbar and the 'show tool tips' feature, the screen flashes/glitches very fast and violently. I turned off the tool tips and the glitch stops. The tool tips feature is helpful but this glitch makes it useless/painful.

Outline Mode Breaks display when toggling in and out of it.
I found that when I go into outline mode and then toggle the layers off of it it breaks my display a little bit. It fixes itself if I just undo the toggling and then Cmd Y to turn it off that way but it'd be nice not having to do that.

Flickering colors and images when moving mouse while in GPU mode
The screen flickers when you move the cursor (it sucks!).
When you switch to CPU it stops, but you lose the animated zoom which is a nice feature.

Pattern fill pixelation
Zooming into an object filled with a pattern shows raster pixelation in the pattern. If you select the object and move it slightly or change its view, then the pattern is updated and looks vectored. This is annoying. I just want it to update and look clean when I am using the zoom tool.

Artifacts and unable to render Mask
Good day.
I'm having troubles rendering an Opacity Mask. I attach the screenshots of the differences. When I change to CPU Preview, the file renders normally but when I change to GPU preview it shows as the image attached. The problem also affects some blending modes like Color Burn which do not render correctly neither in GPU or CPU Preview.
My system is as follows:
-Asus B550M-A
-Ryzen 5 5600x
-32gb Corsair Vengeance DD4 3600MHz RAM

rulers display bug
I can't exactly say, which update introduced that bug, but Illustrator 2022 did not have it: sometimes (often when multiple documents are opened) the rulers go wild. When scrolling through the document, multiple copies of the rulers cover the whole screen and hide the artwork. We have this issue on both of our machines (iMac an Mac mini running on Ventura)

Previewing Mid-High Complexity files incredible Sluggish - Losing time and money
So this has become tottally unnaceptable adobe.
For the price we pay monthly, it's unnaceptable that the engine used for rendering is so primitive in comparison with one used on other (more cheaper) software such as Affinity Designer.This should be one of the features you should be focusing more.
In this thread i mentioned that since some versions of ILLUSTRATOR, the same designs i had years ago, started working more and more sluggish when previewing. And no matter the HW upgrades, it's the same. (i prefer how i worked on these 3-4 years ago)

Highlighting text leads to disappearing artboards
This tends to only happen when I have minimized the screen to be half of my desktop size. Whenever I highlight text in Illustrator the artboard disappears and it only comes back when I've selected the selection tool and click in the work space.

Illustrator Crashes When Trying To View Using CPU or Pixel Preview (All Versions)
Been happening for quite some time now. When trying to view a pixel preview of my document it will hang then crash. Same exact thing happens if I try to "view using CPU". Also have been getting a weird "hairline" pink line around non-stroked objects.
Attached pictures of the pink outline around the gray in the one picture and another around the white and the gray. It seems to change as I zoom in and out which makes me think it's a rendering/driver bug. I think this issue and the original crashing when trying to select CPU or Pixel Preview…
