I am surprised Adobe would release this version of illustrator. It is full of bugs to the point that it is unusable and it's the first time I've had to revert back to a previous version of illustrator to be able to use the software. Adobe should do a better job of testing before they release. I have the same swatch isseus as others. I also have a constant profile mismatch warning dialog that pops up in the middle of an open document when I edit a global swatch or in many cases it just pops up randomly and I must click cancel over and over before it will close only to pop right back up. I also can't change the name of an artboard in the export for screens window. I can change it and it will look as if it was changed until I export and then it will use the previous name when saving no matter how many times I change it will look as if it changed but does not. These are just a few of the bugs that have made 29.7.1 worthless. I have a suggestion for Adobe… how about focusing on providing a version of illustrator that functions exceptoinally well instead of screwing the pooch by focusing on new features and enhancements at the expense of of usablility and basic functionality and in-turn causing your customers untold wasted hours trying to diagnose and overcome such a bug infested productivity desrotying version of illustrator. Or just do a better job testing the versions before pushing them out to customers.
Oh and BTW I talked with Adobe support and allowed them to take control of my MacBook Pro twice. They uninstalled all of the Adobe apps and related files, reinstalled only to have the exact same issues continue to happen.
