  2. Layer Assigned Color Changing Post Update

    29.7.1 (64 bit)
    I am creating a design and trying to toggle the background layers to compare. When I click on the eye icon in the Layers panel, the layers sometimes go on/off and most often do not. Essentially, toggling visibility does nothing.

    I have checked that my layers are visible in the hamburger menu. I have restarted Ai and restarted my computer.

    My document is saved to the cloud - I did get an autosave is temporarily disabled warning and…

  4. Objects hidden in Layers panel stay visible in Preview mode, but not in Outline mode

    Visibility toggle in Illustrator via Layers panel is inconsistent. However, toggling layer visibility in Outline mode remains accurate. See video. Adobe Illustrator v29.6.1, Win11
