magically appearing anchor points
When I join paths, use the pathfinder tools, or shapebuilder options, anchors that I DID NOT create, appear. There is no rhyme or reason to when it will decide to do it. So annoying. Over time this degrades the image when enlarging, shrinking, offsetting paths and a number of other features I don't want to waste my time listing. I don't care what you say about vectors and your program, I've been doing this a long time, it happens. I personally deal with vinyl plotters. Plotters don't like unnecessary or extra anchor points. It can slow down the cut process and cause inconsistencies in the cuts. Anchor points also increase file size and the amount of processing power. Two things aren't a big deal for me, but are for many other people.

I have spent the past 2 days on one small file. Every second, the path grows with anchors that I did not add. Many anchor points have 3 or 4 anchors on top of each other. It's destroyed my work. It's like watching time lapsed algae blooming in real time.
This has happened for the versions 24.2.3.52 and 24.2.1.496.
