Hide Edges command not working properly

I am using the most recent version of Illustrator, 29.6, and I've had the same problem that I've been having in previous versions. If I use the shortcut command to hide edges, the program hides instead. If I click on the actual command in the menu, it works. I had to create a special shortcut in order for this to work correctly. Anyone else experiencing this?

Can you check your Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts if Cmd H is assigned to Hide Illustrator?

By default Cmd H is assigned to Hide Edges in Illustrator.

I changed the shortcut to, command-shift-H. The shortcut, command-H, has been disabled because it did not work correctly. It kept hiding the entire program. I use command-F1 to hide Illustrator. I created that one myself.

The default shortcuts do not have a shortcut to hide Illustrator and have Cmd H to Hide Edges.

Hello @Pigzbutt,

I tried replicating this behavior on my end, but could not. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The problem is still there. I have a workaround, but this should not be happening. I'm used to dealing with glitches and bugs ever since Adobe decided to go to subscription based software instead of taking the necessary time to really develop the program before releasing to the public. Ahhh, the good ole days.
