Compound Path Issue in Illustrator

Hello all! I am creating a print ready document and ran across an issue that I have never seen before. After cutting out a shape using the pathfinder tool, the type visually seems to be distorted. However, when viewing it in the print overview mode, printing it and viewing just the outline there doesn't seem to be an issue. But once the opacity is lowered the issue is visible. 

 

If anyone has run across something similar, help would be much appreciated!

Thanks so much.Screen Shot 2020-01-13 at 2.43.33 PM.pngexpand image

Try View menu > View using CPU. Then check for an update to your graphics card software.

Thanks Peter! View using CPU worked. So it's just a viewing error rather than a technical one? Why does it display differently? My software is up to date.

I can't give you a good technical answer, but my understanding is that trying to get 100% compatibility between applications, operating systems, and graphics cards is a near impossibility as frequent upgrades in each move the target for the others. On my system it's mostly fine, but I occasionally get a bit of weirdness. Knowing that it's just a display issue, I've lost zero sleep over it.
