Connected Arabic letters 'break' on curves
Arabic text on curved paths tend to break, like in the example. The current work around is to either convert the text to outline and fix the breaks, or to create an art brush with the outlined text and adjust, again, manually.
Can this be fixed to allow the text to be on the curved, and editable.

A nice request, but hard to implement... Definitely not a bug, but a way the mechanism works now. Glyphs now don’t get distorted, but just rotated to follow the path, so ligatures don’t connect perfectly. The system just was not meant to deal with connected glyphs :(
I’d advise the same workaround with the brush, although the distortion it makes in some cases are even worse.
