Objects turn to black outlines and freeze during drag when zoomed above 800% (Beta 30.9.93)
Since updating to Illustrator Beta 30.9.93, I'm seeing an abnormal rendering behavior when moving objects at high zoom levels.
Steps to reproduce:
-
Open any document in Illustrator Beta 30.9.93
-
Zoom in beyond 800% (GPU rendering enabled)
-
Click and hold on any object to drag it
Expected result:
-
While holding the click, the object moves in real time on screen, as usual.
Actual result:
-
As soon as zoom exceeds 800%, the outlines of ALL objects on the artboard turn black.
-
During the drag, the selected object appears frozen — no live preview of the movement.
-
When releasing the mouse button, the object jumps to its new position (the move itself is applied correctly).
Behavior below 800%: everything works normally, with real-time drag preview.
Workaround: Switching to View > View Using CPU restores the normal real-time drag preview.
Environment:
-
Illustrator Beta version: 30.9.93
-
Dell Precision 5820 - Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz (3.91 GHz) - RAM 32Gb
-
Windows 11 Pro
-
Nvidia RTX A4000 - 16Gb
-
GPU Performance: enabled, Real-Time Drawing and Editing: enabled
This looks like the GPU rendering pipeline falling back to a degraded outline mode at high zoom, which disables the live drag preview.
