I'm very happy it's working again with latest update! 👏 My temp fix was: When error occurred I'd save then move something then F12 (Revert). When file opens it's all good again, at least this didn't require a restart of the app and it was a fast fix.

Issue solved. (for the moment). Update: V26.2.1, 2022-04-05 Thanks, Adobe-Developer Team. And please, keep it like this, concerning upcoming updates.

after restarting illustrator it works again. every time.

Animated Zoom stops working after switching to path preview. Reproducable every time. Win11, Illu 26.1 64-bit

Yes, this was an issue about a year ago. Now this bug is back. Very annoying.

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR V 26.1 Animated zoom malfunction

After tipping Ctrl + Y (path view, wire frame view) and tipping ctrl. +y again the animated zoom is not working anymore. GPU Preview is disabled.
That is a big critical issue: The work flow is down to 30% of my normal work flow. The work will not only be interrupted and distrubed by just trying to get a proper view or to move the view quickly to the graphic elements I have to design,. it costs a lot of time and money, because I am at work and have to finish the projects in time. Nobody from Adobe got us informed about the critical malfunction..
Steps already done
- New installation of Adobe Illustrator 26.1
- New graphic driver installation
- trials by mouse, graphic tablet > same error

The animated zoom has got a high priority of the work flow in graphic and cad software. It is easy to implement. It´s not rocket science. In Photoshop dynamic zoom is fine.
Our whole design department is forced to slow down the work load just because of this bug!

Same issue! Also Windows 10 and latest Illustrator. Closing just the document window does work without having to shut down Illustrator completely, but is super annoying as it happens every time.

I have same issue here, i'm working on windows 10 (19042.746)
64bit with nividia GeForce GTX 1660 Super

i only need to close document en reopen it. then the GPU view is working again.
It breakes everytime with outline view (ctrl+y)
view using GPU is then greyed out.

Please solve this soon.

When i switch to outline view then switch back to GPU preview, the animated zoom stops working

I'm on the latest illustrator build 25.1 on windows 10 latest build - GPU details as attached

The only way to fit this si to reboot illustrator

I have animated zoom enabled on my system, and I've made sure to View using GPU, but animated zoom doesn't work.
