That looks to me like it could be a screen abberation. Try zooming in or out and see if it goes away. You could also try choosing Preferences > Performance and turning on or off Use Graphics Processor. Or you may need to update your graphics processor.

I'm getting this too. It's when you zoom in a fair amount and move around, the image becomes blurred.

This is bearable, but there are other abberations with objects jumping around and jittery motion when using the hand tool (space) or scroll wheel to move about.

Have tried older versions of illustrator and older gpu drivers (Nvidia 4070)
