Color of font randomly changes when opening file
Tahoe 26.6.1
Illustrator v 30.7
I open a file I was just working on only 5 minutes prior to find that more than 75% of my text has changed color to a random color in my swatch panel. This has been happening consistently since updating to the latest version about 15 days ago. I can even see the color change when I hit space bar to preview the file before opening it. The PDF versions of the files remain fine, no random color changes.

Hi Egor,
That's right, my situation is identical to the report you linked. I haven't checked if the color exists in my Swatches yet, but this issue only started occurring this week. Everything worked normally prior to this.

I wonder if this report can be the same problem:

Hmm... I wonder if this is related to another report,

Gina, do you have these specific color in your Swatches, by any chance?

Issue Summary:
Text color displays correctly when first typed, but later automatically shifts to the same specific light cyan/teal color on its own, even without interacting with or touching the text objects.Steps to Reproduce:
Create a text box, enter text, and set it to a specific color (e.g., black or any custom swatch). The initial color displays correctly.
Continue working on other objects or performing other tasks on the artboard without touching or selecting the previously created text.
Look back at the text later.
Actual Result:
The text automatically changes to a specific light cyan / light teal color on its own.Expected Result:
The text should retain its original applied color unless manually modified.System Info:
Illustrator Version: 30.7 (Windows)
