AI loses GPU support when using rulers or accessing grouped elements
Hello @ Adobe!
Both of my macs (Big Sur, latest updates) show the same reproducible bug with Adobe Ai Version 25 (incl. 25.2): GPU support works just fine when I open a new document and start from scratch. Turning on Rulers or accessing grouped elements by double click instantly turns off GPU support wich I cannot turn back on. After that Ai responds slowly and overall it’s no pleasure to work with. To fix this I need to make sure that in a document all rulers and guides are switched off/deleted. With these measures I can reopen the document and have full GPU rendering until I begin using rulers/guides again.
These issues are the same on my 2020 MBP 13 M1 and my 2019 iMac i9 with Vega48. First I thought it was because of the new M1 Macs with Rosetta2 but on the Intel Mac with a very different graphics card it was just the same. The problems unfortunately persists.
I tried un/reinstalling, deleting caches and preferences etc. – nothing worked for Ai from 25.0 to 25.1.
On my main machine (iMac) I downgraded to Ai 24.3. This solved the issue and I’m able to work again.
For me Ai 25.x is a completely broken version. I would be very happy if Adobe would quickly provide a bug fix here.
Kind regards,
R. Bressel

I'm having similar issue with masked objects. They disappear with GPU acceleration on and come back when off. Works fine in the previous version
