Illustrator 29.8.1

When either choosing the 'save' command from the file menu, or hitting 'command+s' the saving text flashes in the filename of the tab, but the file does not actually save and it continues to have the unsaved changes asterisk there as well.

The only way to save and get the currently open file to save/update is to try and close the file, and then save through the 'you have unsaved changes' window that pops up before closing.

Please fix this, I have several operations in my workflow that require uploading a file I'm currently working on to an online system, and I don't want to have to close it and then reopen it to do so.
