STOP changing the behavior of the tools!
I have used AI for over 20 years -- I've even been featured in books!! Why the F is the team changing the behavior of tools. IT AINT BROKEN and you're making it worse.
Just in the last 5 minutes I've found that I can no longer rotate a text box and have the text rotate, as well. Now the text stays put and the box rotates. WHY?
Also, when I save a new document (with it set to AI editable pdf) it's saving some other copy and the document that's currently open is still unsaved and untitled. How is that an improvement?? If I hadn't noticed, i'd end up losing work on this untitled/unsaved working copy.
Those aren't the only issues, just the two most recent. What are you doing over there, Adobe?

I am checking Illustrator 10, to see if rotating an area type with a bounding box’s markers makes the text inside rotated as well, — and it does not. The text stays unrotated. If someone wants to rotate the text along with the container, Freeform Transform is a way to go, it worked in Ai 10 and continues to work now.
Another way is go select something else along with the text container (not another type object though) and rotate them together. Some actually don’t like this behavior.As for the PDF’s saving... if it’s still a problem after 4 years, I’d suggest to share more details about it. What settings are used to save the PDF, where exactly, what is 'some other copy' that gets save, where, can it be read back... I don’t recall something like this happening now.
