Serious File Corruption After Crash – Possibly Linked to “Enhanced Save” Feature (Illustrator Beta)

I’ve been experiencing a major issue in Illustrator Beta where, after a crash, the reopened file is completely corrupted — text is scrambled, fonts are replaced, and the whole layout gets distorted. The file becomes unusable, and I have to rebuild everything from scratch.

I believe this may be related to the new “Enhanced Save”, which saves only changes instead of the full file.

Since disabling this setting, the issue no longer occurs — recovered files open normally again.

Just wanted to report this in case others are facing the same, and hopefully it can be addressed in future updates. I’ve also taken before-and-after screenshots to show the difference.
