"Can't define a pattern from the current art"
Discovered in 29.8.1, also seen in beta 30.0.21. Both on MacOS 14.7.6.
- Draw some shapes. Select them.
- Object > Pattern > Make
- "Can't define a pattern from the current art" pops up instead of pattern edit mode.
Dragging the shapes to the Swatch palette still works, luckily, so I can get on with what I want to do, but what the heck?
oookayyy, further exploration reveals that it is something about one particular global color swatch?!? see attached file.

Beta 30.0 104 gives me the message: "Can't define a new pattern from the current art."
Click OK and try it again and it works. Try it in a new file and it works. Close the beta and try it later, stops working. Click OK and try it again and it works. and so on. -
Works fine for me in Beta 30.0.0.91 on Windows 10...
