Illustrator Scribble Effect not previewing properly

I am working on a project that uses the Scribble effect. Yesterday everything looked perfect in the preview window. I shut down the computer for the night last night, and when I got back into my project this morning, all strokes, text, and shapes using the scribble effect seem to be displaying at a reduced opacity (though all opacity is set to 100% in the graphic styles I'm using). The background color seems to be pushing through and making the objects with the scribble effect applied appear dull. When I zoom in to 300% or greater it all looks fine and it all exports fine. It just doesn't preview correctly at anything under 300% zoom. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoguhts on how to fix it?

EARock,

Maybe too silly, but what happens if you hold Ctrl or Cmd and press E, then try again?

Wierd! If I turn off the GPU all the colors are back to normal! So that kind of works. Is there some reason I can't use GPU performance?

And Thank you for ths simple fix.

You are welcome, EARock.

GPU is faster than CPU, but sometimes it moves in mysterious ways.

This also means that sometimes you can just use it without issues.

Therefore Ctrl/Cmd+E is your friend.

Edit: We have seen many mysterious ways here, some more common than others.

I believe yours is the first of its kind.
