1. GPU Preview glitches with clipping masks and transparency (since Illustrator 29.6.0), white rectangle appears below

   I've encountered a rendering issue starting in Illustrator 29.6.0, and it's still present in 29.6.1. Here's how to reproduce it:

   1. Create a simple circle.
   2. Create a simple rectangle.
   3. Place the circle inside the rectangle using a clipping mask.
   4. Apply any transparency to the circle (e.g., set opacity < 100%, or add a drop shadow).

   Result:
   The rendering becomes corrupted for any object positioned beneath the clipping mask (try placing a filled shape underneath to see the issue clearly).

   Additional Notes:

   The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
   Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.
   Changing the color profile or color model did not resolve the issue.
   Deleting Illustrator's preferences folder also had no effect.
   Rolling back to Illustrator 29.5 resolves the issue.
   Apologies for not including a screenshot – I rolled back to 29.5 before capturing one.

   System:
   iMac Retina 5K (27", 2017)
   macOS Ventura 13.7.6

2. Live Paint bucket tool preview error

   1. Adobe Illustrator CC 2021 (25.2.1 64-bit) on Windows 10 Home Edition.

   2. After the Live Paint Bucket tool is selected, out of the 3 preview swatches above the pointer, the center one is always wrong / inverted. This bug is consistent when we press the left & right arrow keys on the keyboard to select a swatch. On the other hand, the Swatches panel would reflect the correct option when the Live Paint Bucket tool is in used.

   3. When the Live Paint Bucket tool is selected, the center swatch in the 3 preview swatches should accurately reflect the color option, just like what is selected in the Swatches panel.

   4. Despite the incorrect display of the color in the center of the 3 preview swatches, the Live Paint Bucket does color with the color option selected in the Swatches panel.

   The issue is no longer happening in Ai Beta 28.4.0.8

3. Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted

   When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

   Works as expected in Beta 30.0.0.114.

   Please test the fix to make sure it’s ready to be pushed into the general build.

4. Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes

   When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.

   Steps to recreate:
   turn off real-time drawing & editing
   select random fill color
   select shape tool
   draw shape

   expected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
   actual result: filled shape is seen during drawing

   I tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).

   There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline as expected.

   Fixed and works as it should do in Beta 30.0.0.72 — please try to install it (or update if it’s installed) and verify if it works for you, before it gets pushed into General build.
