I have the same issue – upgraded from Version 24.0.3 to Version 29.4 and now I have no preview so I need to go back and use 2020 version to see!

I've recently upgraded from 24.0.3 to Version 29.4 – also upgraded OS to Ventura 13.7.5 on iMac 2017 4K Retina, 21.5 inch, 3.6 GHz Quad-Code Intel Core i7 with Radeon Pro 560 4 GB.
Very often I place images in clip masks (Cmd+7) and then adjust the cropping nodes after putting the image inside. On this new version, if I use 'a' (Direct Selection tool) to select a corner node, it only acts as a 'v' selection tool to move the clip mask with image inside, or like an 'a' direct select but only moving the image within the clip mask (depending on if the node is a corner or centre etc. – only if the edge of the image intersects with the edge the node is on.
If the image has been enlarged within the clip mask, then I can 'a' direct select and move any of its clip mask nodes.
The simplest way to prove this problem is to insert any image, then press 'Cmd+7'. In previous versions of AI you could then use 'a' direct select to grab any corner node and move it in any direction. Now in this bug, clicking a 'a' direct selection on a corner now moves the whole image/clip mask together. Very frustrating.
Is this happening to other people?
You can see how the tool works in AI 2020 and AI 2025 in the video below.
Preferences/settings are the same on both versions.
Please fix this! :-D
