Corrupt clipboard image view
Images pasted from the clipboard that are embedded in tif format become corrupted. When working with an embedded image from the clipboard, after a while, when moving an element or zooming in or out, the image becomes corrupted, rendering it unusable and unrecoverable. The images usually end up as shown in the screenshot. This has happened to me several times.
I'm working on a 2023 Macbook Pro M2 Max with 32GB RAM and macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 using Adobe Illustrator 29.5

Hi Mike,
Thanks for reporting this and sharing the screenshot — it’s definitely not expected behavior.To help us investigate this issue further, could you please share the following details?
1. When did you first notice this issue? (Was it happening in earlier versions of Illustrator 29.x or only after a specific update?)
2. Does it occur only with TIF format images from the clipboard, or also with other formats (e.g., PNG, JPG)?
3. Are the images being copied from a specific app (e.g., Preview, Photoshop, browser), or from screenshots?
4. Does the issue persist if you paste the same image into another app (like Photoshop or Keynote)?
5. Can you confirm if GPU Performance is enabled in Illustrator when this happens?
6. Does the corruption happen immediately, or only after specific actions like zooming, panning, or moving objects?This will help us isolate whether it’s a format-specific issue, a clipboard pipeline problem, or something rendering-related on macOS Sequoia.
