Images in clipping masks glitching and overlaying artwork when in GPU
This is similar to previous posts but not sure if the same.. apologies if repeating. In the latest version of illustrator, images within clipping masks are glitching out and making the file impossible to work with. These glitched versions of the masked image change constantly when zooming in or out, but do not disappear as they used to when illustrator bugged out previously. see attached screenshot. The orange metal flake texture should only exist within the frame of the bicycle. The lighter orange glitchy shapes do not exist.

Hi there, on my system I can see this issue on Illustrator 29.7.1, whereas this is not an issue on the same system on Illustrator 24.0.3 for example. See both videos attached.

Marc, perhaps you can help?
The next time this happens, bundle the file with the full OS and GPU details and send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com, along with screenshots and video.
A report without data and evidence is hardly useful :( -

I have seen this problem for over 10 years. Can we get Illustrator to play nice with the GPU please! Every time I see this, which is almost anytime I work with clipping masks, I check out Affinity's progress to see if I can switch. This basic functionality should be a priority over all new features, particularly the AI garbage being tacked on. It's such a basic issue and so prevalent, I am a bit flabbergasted at the delay.
