1. GPU Preview glitches with clipping masks and transparency (since Illustrator 29.6.0), white rectangle appears below

   I've encountered a rendering issue starting in Illustrator 29.6.0, and it's still present in 29.6.1. Here's how to reproduce it:

   1. Create a simple circle.
   2. Create a simple rectangle.
   3. Place the circle inside the rectangle using a clipping mask.
   4. Apply any transparency to the circle (e.g., set opacity < 100%, or add a drop shadow).

   Result:
   The rendering becomes corrupted for any object positioned beneath the clipping mask (try placing a filled shape underneath to see the issue clearly).

   Additional Notes:

   The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
   Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.
   Changing the color profile or color model did not resolve the issue.
   Deleting Illustrator's preferences folder also had no effect.
   Rolling back to Illustrator 29.5 resolves the issue.
   Apologies for not including a screenshot – I rolled back to 29.5 before capturing one.

   System:

   The fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

2. Blending modes inside groups does not work

   When an object is part of a group nothing from the transparency settings is working. Selected object in the screenshot is set to Multiply and it appears as Normal.

3. Changes made by plugin tools are not rendered instantly in CPU Outline and Pixel Preview modes

   Just recently something changed for plugins, and changes these make don’t get updated in modes until you force the canvas to redraw (zoom, move, draw in the region... not pan though).
   Here, I try to use one of Astute Graphics’ plugins (it affects many) — I shorten the path, but Ai doesn’t re-render it!

   I bet it’s about performance, but come on! These tools is what keeps Ai afloat for many. Please don’t drop the support.

5. Animated zoom bug (workspace flickers and turns black when in a group)

   1. Windows 11 (latest)
   2. Illustrator 28.3
   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

6. GPU acceleration issue

   Adobe Illustrator have problem with GPU acceleration.

   Some of part of screen disapeared when move object.

   BUG tested on graphics card:

   GTX 1660
   RTX 3060 TI
   RTX 3080 TI
   Laptop Dell Latitude 5420 with Intel Iris Xe Graphics.

   Problem occurs on 2 situations:

   When trim view is enabled,
   When project have many object.
   Watch the attached movie.

   I think this is global problem which which affects all users.
   Tested on different AI versions.
   I think this bug occurs many, many time earlier.

7. Anchor points not displaying with layer color

   My anchor points are not displaying correctly. They are not the layer color and when objects are selected, they are a light gray and barely visible on a white or any color background. I've tried changing the layer color and that doesn't help and have checked any preferences that may have been changed, but still the same issue.
   Specs:
   Illustrator v 25.3.1 on an iMac 27" (late 2012, 2.9GHz Quad Core Intel core i5 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 66oM 512 MB graphics)
   Running MAC OS Catalina v 10.15.7
   Please help with any fixes. I've already restarted Illustrator and my computer a few times and no change. This seemed to have started after a recent update to the latest Illustrator version.

   This issue arises due to problems with Apple's graphic rendering pipeline on older versions of macOS and has been resolved by Apple in macOS 13 and above. We request you to update your macOS to13 and above to fix this issue.

8. Guides are invisible

   The update made my guides disappear unless I click on the object or artboard. It would be OK, but when I use the arrows to move the guides they disappear and I can't see how far I have moved them. May I change this update back to how it was.

9. White flickering screen: Illustrator 2019 gltches out video card in Macs with AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB graphics card...

   it's an Apple & Adobe conflict with each other regarding the AMD graphic card driver(s) + Mojave OS 10.14. Rolling back to Illustrator 2018 doesn't fix it. I first thought it was a physical hardware problem (dying graphics card) until we experienced the problem on multiple Macs in the same way.

   This issue didn't exist prior to updating to Mojave, however, I think Mojave and Adobe were fine together until updating to Adobe CC's 2019 products which had the initial conflict and, in turn, created the same conflict for the prior Adobe CC versions + Mojave.

   I 100% believe there is a problem with the 2019 suite on Macs running MacOS 10.14 Mojave AND this particular graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB. I think the drivers for this particular model of graphic card were not updated or accounted for by Adobe when updating their products to the 2019 suite. The problem did not exist when we updated to Mojave and were running the 2018 suite. Everything ran just fine, including having the GPU performance turned on. I would even say that possibly the initial 2019 23.0 version of Illustrator was fine, but one of the incremental updates messed it up. I think I was running 23.0 with no problems as well, but I can't be totally sure. Now, the 2018 version experiences the same issue.

   So -- I believe something in an Adobe 2019 update messed its functionality with Macs that have the AMD Radeon R9 M390 graphics card, in turn, passing the problem on to previous versions of Illustrator and possibly InDesign.

   The quick fix (it seems for now) is to turn off GPU Performance. This makes using Illustrator very draggy and slow, but the screen flicker has stopped. This needs to be addressed by Adobe and fixed.

   More details and discussion on this video card glitch can be found here:

11. High Sierra (macOS 10.13) GPU rendering issues with RGB document - Intel Graphics

    Illustrator 21.1.0 has issues with GPU rendering in the latest High Sierra public betas:

    Paths will appear jagged and generally do not display correctly.

    Altering the zoom level affects these artefacts.

    Switching off GPU rendering altogether fixes the issue but this way, performance is obviously affected.

    Additional Note: Works correctly in CMYK document.

13. Uninstalling Duet Display fixes Premiere and Illustrator crash on file open and file create

    I spent an hour trying to get Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere to simply open a file or create a new file. They would both crash immediately with the dialogue box that sends a crash report.

    I uninstalled without saving settings and reinstalled both. I also ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool These made no difference.

    Finally, on a hunch I uninstalled Duet Display, a program that allows you to use an iOS device as a second monitor. This fixed the issue.
