allow text outline color to be placed "under" the fill color in Appearance palette
few years (and illustrator versions) ago it was possible to put text outline color "under" fill, so outline would not interference with typeface, and text stays readable.
Altough you can see "stroke" bar and "fill" bar, but they are unmovable.

Indeed, not possible in the latest release. But it is also not possible in earlier ones, like CS1. Are you sure it ever was?
To workaround it, apply the stroke as a separate appearance item to the type object, not to characters. Not perfect, I agree, but still works.

with text selected with "black arrow" cursor i can see no fill and outline.
I can see fill and outline only when I select characters. But both "bars" seems to be fixed, and non movable in appearance palette. -
I see no problem. Can you show what exactly you try?
