Visual breakdown bug when zoomed in < 30000%
In keyline and normal view, when zooming in very close, the image breaks down. This didn't happen in previous versions. The first attached image shows the image correctly, with zoom at 12750%. The second attachment shows the image 'broken down' when zoomed in further. The multitude of diagonal lines shouldn't be there (these increase when panning) and the selected line (that I'm trying to work on) should be a complete line, not an endpoint. This bug makes detailed work very difficult.

Pink screen and residual image artifacts
The pink screen flash is back for me in 26.03 when opening files, but now I have the added bonus of image shrapnel being left everywhere (image attached).
Mac mini M1. Happens with both MacOS 12.1 and 12.2 beta (release candidate).

Paths previewing incorrectly with artifacts.
Paths are previewing incorrectly, adding artifacts, and the path line is not accurate to the previewed shape. In the attached screenshots, you can see how this makes it almost impossible to accurately illustrate detailed work. Please help!

- the view should acurately update when I zoom and move around to display pixel perfect artworkActual result:

Part of an object's position is shifted with no distortion effects. Moving/undoing move resets position correctly
This was a devastating glitch for us. I've seen this happen before sporadically but I have no idea what causes it or how to catch it. If anyone else has seen this and/or knows a solution to catch issues like this, please let me know. There were no effects or special attributes applied to the artwork in the appearance panel

flickering guide lines
In Illustrator 25.4.1 one cannot use the guides while Astute Plugins active! What did you do Adobe? While selecting objects the guide lines will appear blink think suddenly while someone click drags the mouse as long as one releases the mouse button again. While dragging objects, the guide lines will be fine, but with nothing selected, click drag will cause flickering guide lines.

Color Bug
When I move objects, the colors bug out. As you can see in the picture ''Bug'' , I am only using different shades of purple and the light orange that is in the background, as shown in ''Bug 2'' . All of the darker orange is not supposed to be there and they only appear when I move objects around. This continues unless I move the screen off the artwork and then go back, then it dissapears but comes back as soon as I move an object. So far I'm unable to find a solution for this, so I would…

GPU issues with certain graphics cards and Mac updates
So after a lot of time spent on chat and phone with Adobe. It seems that I am unable to use v25.4.1 or v26 in GPU mode unless I upgrade to Monterey.
However Monterey is in its infancy. I'm not taking the risk of upgrading yet.
My machines both have the same GPU redraw issues, where images within clipping masks create echoed glitches of themselves across the screen. this disappears when GPU mode is turned off.
CPU mode in Illustrator is so sluggish it's pretty much unworkable.
Adobe informs me this is NOT an Adobe issue, it is an issue…

illustrator freezes when moving object, task that was not a problem before oct 21 update.
Since last update, I have a problem moving some object in illustrator without it to freeze, making impossible to work. only workaround is to disable GPU acceleration, witch I don't like since I use scrubby zoom all the time now, and the experience is not as smooth.
I made driver update to my graphic card (Nvidia Quadro P2000) everything is up to date.
Please hurry... I consider uninstalling latest update so I can work more efficiently

GPU not working with Wacom when using Illustrator
When using my Wacom Cintiq Illustrator colours de saturate and fade. When I uncheck GPU performance the problem disappears and the colours return to as they should be. But I want to use my GPU for complex artwork
The problem does not occur on my desktop monitor only on my Cintiq.

Secondary Jagged Stroke
Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1
Illustrator 26.0.1I have been drawing lines with the line tool and expanding and bending them using the Anchor Point Tool. Sometimes Illustrator creates a secondary line alongside my smooth one that is jagged. It is still visible if I zoom in or out but I don't think it's really there (as a vector path). It is visible in the middle of my screenshot.

Images in clipping masks glitching and overlaying artwork when in GPU
This is similar to previous posts but not sure if the same.. apologies if repeating. In the latest version of illustrator, images within clipping masks are glitching out and making the file impossible to work with. These glitched versions of the masked image change constantly when zooming in or out, but do not disappear as they used to when illustrator bugged out previously. see attached screenshot. The orange metal flake texture should only exist within the frame of the bicycle. The lighter orange glitchy shapes do not exist.

AMD Radeon Pro 580 rendering bug
Hi, I have a 2017 iMac Retina 5k 27", 64GB RAM, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 with AMD Radeon Pro 580 GPU, 8Gb VRAM, driver version 01.00.931, Illustrator 25.4.1. I am getting odd effects in rendering of linear gradients where angular areas of colour appear at higher magnifications. If the GPU is turned off in Illustrator prefs the effect disappears. Please see screenshot attached showing the effect with GPU. Is there a fix for this, please?
