    Specs:
    Mac m4 max
    Sequioa 15.4
    Illustrator 29.4

    Bug:
    In my illustrations I use placed JPG images within an objects opacity mask to add raster textures to different objects/shapes within the illustration. Often times, I am using the same image texture multiple times in different parts of the illustration so, I place it multiple times into the opacity mask of different shapes and scale, rotate, and position it uniquely for that object or part of the image. So, a green shape on the left and a red shape on the right will have the same texture, but each is a separate instance of the same image file placed within their opacity masks.

    When opening files in 29.4 that were saved or packaged before updating (about 6 days ago) all instances of a linked file have moved to the same exact position, scale, and rotation on the artboard. They are still in their respective opacity masks, but often times not even over the object anymore, which makes them seem to have disappeared. So, if select the green object and red object and release the opacity masks, I have two instances of the same texture file stacked perfectly on top of each other in the center of the artboard. It is if any information about position, scale, and rotation was somehow lost.

    As far as the linking goes, if I used an image 3 times, it appears 3 times in the links panel, and there is only one copy of the file in the links folder. So, all of that is behaving as expected. 

    I rolled back to 29.3 and when I opened the same file everything is as expected.
