Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.
I applied a pattern to a stroke by accident and received this error. I'm using v25.0.1 on a PC with 16 gb RAM and a dedicated graphics card.

Just updated to 23.0 and getting the same error. Restarting Illustrator is the only fix it seems.

I've been having the same issue since updating to v 23.0

It is still crashing. Still making the same error. CPU reboot hasn't helped. I'll see if clearing the preferences cache or something fixes it.

I'm working on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
3.5 HGz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
Mem 64 GB
Graphics AMD FirePro D500 3072 MBSince updating this morning, Illustrator has consistently crashed. At a random point, it switches to outline mode, and then a dialog box opens and states, "Cannot finish previewing" –– and then every time I try to switch out of outline-mode, it fails, and brings up the same dialog box, and I have seconds before it crashes altogether.
I'm able to still save and close the file. But when I try to re-open it, it says it does not have enough memory and that I can't open the illustration. When I quit Illustrator, and re-open it, then it works. Then the outline mode issue occurs, and I have to restart again. I'll try a CPU reboot to see if that helps.
NOTE: This issue happens on Microsoft Windows as well

Since a week ago, illustrator is sending the "can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation" popup once per hour.
