Yes, I opened a new blank file with default swatches.
I renamed the Color Group of non Global Swatches.
Again, a superfluous copy of the group was made.So, it seems to be a problem with artificial laboratory conditions of a new file.
As well as being a problem with a file that is in the real world under conditions that people actually work in too.An error occurred while saving the comment AJ

Yes, this is happening for me too. Every time.
I select a Color Group, in the Swatches Panel. Double click on the folder.
The Edit Color option box opens. I change the name of the Color group. It asks if I want to save the change. I press Yes.
Then back in the Swatches Panel I get a superflous copy of the swatches Color Group I just renamed.
It makes no sense to have this happen.
And it has happened using three different computers using Illustrator 26, 27 and 28.It looks like a bug. And it would be great get it fixed once and for all.
When one is working with groups of Global swatches – and lots of them – it is unclear what one is actually updating if Illustrator starts generating unwanted Color Swatch Group copies unbidden.
I am currently using Illustrator 28 on Mac OS 14.7.
This problem is one I have experienced with Illustrator 26, 27 and 28.AJ

Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!
Dear Illustrator Community,
I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.
While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.
Our Approach
We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.
It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

I see this topic has been recently reactivated as users' frustrations mount. Thank you to fellow Illustrator users for continuing to prod about this glacially slow progress.
Yes, I feel frustrated too because when it functions correctly I love using Adobe Illustrator. I have loved Adobe Illustrator since 1998. My main frustration is that I make perhaps (too) insanely busy designs in Illustrator with the aim of recoloring them into variations. If my poor computer could be better supported by multi thread code it would be personally creatively life changing. But at the moment life with Illustrator is like trying to live with a depressed addict artist who can't get help for his or her problems despite the love (and time and money) one invests. I hope Adobe will see fit to properly fund and support the engineers so we can see some progress soon.An error occurred while saving the comment AJ

Yes, I feel all the same frustrations.
The potential to pinpoint edit colour and form in Illustrator in its current state is completely hampered by Adobe's lack of action.
Adobe's focus on 3D and other icing sprinkles functions without building on the program's fundamental usability is unbelievable after 5 years of waiting with no progress on this.
For digital artists is impossible to make certain sorts of perfectly feasible artwork in the current state of this program because we are stuck in a 1990s time slip without multi thread foundation.
Why are we still waiting on this half a decade down the road?
Adobe is a resource rich company.
Is it engineers who do not actually understand the creative potential of the program? Is it sales departments mangers who have no experience of using the program to its full potential. Or it is simply a cold disregard for end users who have asked time and time and time again for action on this?
When it works I love Illustrator but like others here I am tiring or paying for a subscription to a company that will not support or listen to its creative users. If Adobe made Illustrator more baseline solid think of the superlative artwork that could actually be rendered. think about it Adobe: you could showcase that work and make more sales. How about fixing these basic performance issues, Adobe – please?An error occurred while saving the comment AJ

This is frustrating that there has been no progress on this.
Vector is such a powerful format to make in.
On 2D designs there is so much more leeway for fine tuning of effects and recolouring of designs for commercial work.
Please Adobe, invest our premium subscription money wisely to get this application more fitting for the 21st century when even the most average and sub par laptops have multiple cores and powerful processors.
In Illustrator's current state of code we are frustrated: you are giving us an airliner fitted with a hairdryer motor.
How do you expect our visions to take off to fruition with that?
Many of us are experiencing significant non Photoshopped aging watching that spinning ball go round on renders and screen redraws.
Please do the work so we can do ours.AJ

Hi @Gary Crispin
Thanks for posting the Compound Path experiment/experience.
I tried to use the Freeform Gradient Tool with a Compound Shape and it makes a Gradient . But the applied effect in (my case most used is Astute Graphics Stippilism) still disappears on clicking OK when I tried it. If you have any more details or advice I'd love to have any kind of workaround while we wait (likely in vain!) to get this bug fixed.
Thanks for any pointers here. Best wishes.
I hope there will be some progress from Adobe on this soon.
