Illustrator Flickering Workspace Background

[Goose Marketing]

Whenever I move my mouse on some of my Illustrator files, the background grey flicks between two shades of grey really fast and it hurts my eyes. I've recently just converted over to a new Apple Mac Mini with an M1 chip, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it (not sure if the issue is related to GPU or not). It also happens when I zoom in and out too. The only way to make it go away is to close and reopen the document. It will be fine for a while and then it will start up again. Again, not on on all documents, and not all of the time, just sometimes and it's just a minor inconvenience! I've attached a little screen recording as an example. 

I've done lots of searching and I can't find any resolutions yet, I'm thinking it's just a bug. Unless I'm wording this all wrong!

Adobe, will you please fix this! It’s been years since it was first reported and we still have to disable and then enable GPU-Performance again to stop flickering after swapping external screens. (Using v. 28.3)

ADOBE!! This problem is already going on for several years now. Please get this problem FIXED asap. My screen is  a STROBOSCOPE. We don't pay you for software that behaves like this. It simply isn't workable!! Macbook Pro M2 / 2x External DELL 27" Thank you for a final solution.

BTW, Unchecking GPU performance doesn't do anything...

Does it help when you close Photoshop?

[MagnusC · Accepted solution]

When the screen goes crazy to you have to:
1. Open Settings/Performance

2. Uncheck GPU Performance

3. Click OK to close settings

4. Open Settings/Performance again

5. Check GPU Performance

6. Click OK to close settings

Thanks for the advice, but unchezcking GPU Performance doesn't work for me.
