White Boxes appeared on Illustrator file and they're uneditable

[gareth_6537]

Hi there,

I’ve never come across this issue before, but when I opened my Illustrator file, a bunch of white boxes appeared. They’re uneditable, and I can’t seem to delete them. I’ve already tried expanding the appearance of the hills and rasterizing, but nothing works, the white boxes don’t become selectable or removable.

Do you know what might be causing this, or how I can fix it?

Did you try switching Preview from GPU to CPU? Cmd E or Ctrl E

That fixed it, thank you

Good to hear that helped, switching to CPU Preview is often more accurate, but slower during editing. With Cmd E or Ctrl E  you can temporarely switch between them if you do not trust the Preview.
