Text stroke disappears
Illustrator 28.6 on Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2
I'm not sure whether it's an Illustrator or Photoshop problem.
I have text with white strokes in the background, but when I open the .ai in Photoshop (300dpi) , the white outlines have all disappeared.
They don't appear in the Art View (preview) of the .ai either. Nor if I open the file with Preview or Adobe Acrobat. That's why I'm thinking it's an Illustrator issue. Zooming in with Acrobat actually makes it crash…
I have attached screenshots of my Illustrator artboard (you can see the white strokes), of the JPG I generated with Photoshop, of the Art View preview, and of the .ai file opened with Preview.
It was working all fine last Thursday (actually, it was working fine this morning). Please fix it, it's quite crucial for my work.

Thanks Egor.
No, no Overprint Stroke, nor Overprint Preview.
I had the same problem with all my files, until it suddenly resolved itself after a couple hours. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, this is strange.
I’d advice to check the Attributes panel, just in case if the Overprint Stroke option got itself enabled somehow.
...but than again the white stroke with this applied should have stayed visible unless you enable Overprint Preview...
In case this happens again — a test file would be essential. -

I have no idea why or how, but it's working again. I'm totally perplexed.
