a bug in gradient tool when applied to text
hi,
New is illustrator is great in many ways but i have found one bug* or intentional modification by adobe.
it is nice to see live preview of gradient as it is being applied.. for the objects, gradient tool works fine as intended but when it is applied to text, it is buggy, i think.
once mouse is clicked for applying gradient, after setting colors in gradient panel and new fill from appearance panel, text vanishes entirely, not allowing to see the gradient. once mouse is released, text with applied gradient appears. it is annoying.
Check video to understand better.
Thanks

Thanks, this makes more sense.
Indeed, not handy at all when you can’t see how a gradient flows for a text. -

Ashfaque, the text does not vanish for me when I drag over it, but gets filled with the layer’s color (like blue for the first layer), whether the edges or smart guides are enabled... This does prevent seeing how a gradient is applied to a text with a Real-time preview on.
The video you mentioned did not get attached it seems.
Does it still disappears for you?
