Illustrator v30.0 thinks file isn't saved, right after saving it
On some (but not all) files, Illustrator v30.0 will immediately add an asterisk to the name of the file in the tab, even though I have not made any changes to the file. If I save the file and then try to close the file, I am prompted to save the file again, despite having just saved it.
I just tested the exact same file in v30.0, v29.8.2 and v28.7.2, using MacOS 15.5 on a Studio M2 Max:
-I am saving the file to the desktop
-I have all settings related to "save in background" under "File Handling" turned OFF
In v30.0 and 29.8.2 the asterisk appears immediately after saving the file. I don't even need to touch the keyboard or mouse.
In v28.7.2 it does not, and works normally.
Any thoughts?

Thank you for the response Egor. The issue I'm experiencing is more like what is described here, in this old post from 2020:
After a lot of troubleshooting today I think I have narrowed it down to one of the Astute Graphics plugins ("FindReplace"). With a completely fresh install of either AI v29 or v30 I am able to recreate this issue by installing that plugin, and correct the issue by uninstalling that plugin.
I've reached out to Astute Graphics. I will report back here if I find out anything else, in case it is helpful to anyone else with the same issue.

Mike, there was an earlier report for 29.7.1, now reportedly fixed: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50305755 — but that one was about the 'Illustrator is currently saving the document and will close it once the save process is complete' message.
Yours one feels the same as this one, with 29.8.1: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50536608
Does the description it provide match the behavior you observe?
Sad to see the 30.0 has it :(
Can you check if the latest Beta work as expected, please?
