I save 99% of my files as .SVG, sometimes .AI or .PDF, but almost always .SVG. I'll upload a screenshot of the settings, which, other than changing from "link" to "embed" for image location, are the default settings I never touch. Not to say they haven't changed with some update or another, but I wouldn't know; I never even look at them.

Apologies, the screenshots I included in the post didn't go through. Again, this is an example of the vectors going crazy only, and a very simple example at that. I had a file previously that was a much larger issue, with vectors going all over the place, but that file has been fixed, anchor by anchor until they stayed put.
Since I've got the cloud version of AI, it updates regularly. This has been happening for a while... 6 months? The pop-up regarding the file being modified was the first weird thing, then the vectors jumping, which got worse over time, and now I've got all kinds of nutty things happening. Whatever the issue is, it's getting worse overall, with more and more symptoms. I save locally. Local drive. I don't have a cloud service, except whatever Illustrator is linked to, but I try not to be on that cloud if possible. Not sure I'm successful, since the cloud is the only way the program works now, I believe?
EDIT: I am on v29.4 of Ai

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

It was mentioned, in the Adobe Community threads, that:
"I suspect there is something wacky going on with the anchor points in the SVG artwork you imported into Illustrator. A plugin such as Vector First Aid would probably correct the anchor point problems.
SVG is not a good format to use for archiving artwork created in Illustrator. If the artwork is going to be edited further or re-used in other projects it is far better to simply save it in Illustrator AI format."
This is unhelpful at best, as the program I require for my work, prefers SVG format, and cannot use Ai format. I also create files from scratch within Ai. Nothing imported. I open files in the online Glowforge app, and rarely anywhere else.
However, in doing some troubleshooting, .ai files stay exactly as I see them when I save. I can turn them into PDFs from there, and they are also as I saved them. But othing makes SVG files stick now. I would really love an actual fix, but for a work-around, I suppose saving files as .ai and converting them to .pdf when I'm ready to print them, is better than nothing.
Anything you've got to help fix SVG files, I'm open!
Thanks.
