  1. Words get broken when hyphenation is off with no hyphens

    Illustrator (since a long ago) has a habit of breaking words in area type texts when it should not. Take a look at the test file and watch the attached GIF.

    As you can see, the second word is a long one, and Ai for some reason breaks it — although Hyphenate is off (and the language is properly chosen).

    No hyphen also is displayed at the end of the line, the word is just split.

    If we toggle the Composer from Single-Line to Every-Line, Ai at first correct the tracking and fits the word... but once the container is…

  4. Characters on path disappear after Outline Text or just explode and get scattered all over the canvas

    Started in in version 27.7.0
    Reproduction procedures:
    1. Create type on a path in document.
    2. Save the document and close it once.
    3. Open that document and select the text on a path.
    4. Execute command “Outline Text”

    The above procedure will make it all disappear and disappear.
    This phenomenon is not reproduced in Illustrator 2022 or earlier, so it seems to be a 2023-specific bug.

    再現手順
    1. ドキュメント上にパス上テキストを作成
    2. ドキュメントを保存し、いったん閉じる
    3. ドキュメントを開き、パス上テキストオブジェクトを選択
    4. アウトラインを作成

    以上の手順で、テキストはパスごと消えてなくなります。
    Illustrator2022以前では再現しなかったため、2023固有のバグと思われます。

  5. Charter font is misrendered at small sizes

    The Italic version of the Charter font that comes standard on macOS is misrendered at small sizes by several Adobe programs, including Illustrator and Acrobat.

    Steps to reproduce on macOS:

    1. Create some text in a new document, ideally including the character "A"
    2. Set the typeface of the text to Charter Italic
    3. Simply zoom out until the "A" is shown with obvious artefacts. Zooming in again resolves the issue. See attached screenshot of the same text rendered at larger and smaller sizes, for comparison.

    Notes:

    This affects not just the "A" character, but it's the most noticeable with it. Notably, it…

  7. Automatic numbering does not continue in linked area type

    While using automatic numbering, an area text linked to another Artboard or within the Artboard restarts the numbering from 1 after moving the overflown text to the second linked type area. Please add option to choose restart the numbering or continue numbering with user preference. Another issue is that one point with continuing the lines to the next type area also starts with numbering rather than considering the continuation of the last line from first type area.

  8. Two selection borders around text

    There's a second border around a text in my file when I select it. I cannot find why, what it does and how to remove it. When I create new text, it doesn't appear.

  9. Manually scaled text can’t be selected

    If I click to select my text and double-click to scale manually, I am no longer able to select it again. If I want to select the text again I have to click and drag the select tool over other objects to select the text. Sometimes that works sometimes not. Doesn't work at all with a single object that's broken.

  10. Hyphenation ignores pre-hyphenated words

    Many languages have pre-hyphenated words (like 'pre-hyphenated').

    When I setup Hyphenation with Before and After values, I expect Illustrator to apply these to each part of a hyphenated word, not to the whole complex word itself, like Ai does in the picture (where the arrow is pointing). Instead, it should prefer the existing hyphen to break a line at, not just one symbol away from it. This forces users to use 'no break' often (which is hard to call) and generally spend more time on editing.

    Here is a text example.
    Not
    pre-h
    yphenated
    but
    pre-
    hyphenated

    ...and obviously it…

  11. Illustrator goes not responding every time Font is scrolled through

    I had my Illustrator 'not responding' every time i scroll the font character. I tried to install the old version but still no avail.

    This issue has happened since a month ago and I had reported many times through feedback from the app itself.

  13. Automatic hyphenation with + instead of -

    Sometimes (not always), the automatic hyphenation divides the word with an "+" sign, instead of a "-" sign, which it should be. It appears with various fonts, it is NEVER reliable, sometimes I write a PDF for the customer, it has the + inside, I see it, I open the AI again and everything if fine again, without restarting anything or changing anything. Sometimes it gets not written correctly for weeks and I have to hyphenate myself, which we all know, is a drag in Illustrator.

    Where is the Problem located, and how do we fix it.

  16. Illustrator 2023 crashes when clicking the scroll bar in the font selection dialog

    Ever since I installed Illustrator 2023 the entire program will hang when using the mouse, trackpad or wacom pen to select the scroll bar in the font selection drop down menu

    Fonts can still be chosen using the cursor keys to navigate up and down. Previous versions of Illustrator are still working as expected so I haven't been able to track down a corrupt font.

    I have tried a uninstall/reinstall and resetting of preferences. Nothing seems to work.

    This is on an M1 Mac (but also has replicated on an Intel Macbook Pro both on MacOS Monterey.

  17. legacy text disappears

    Using latest version available in creative cloud as of 5/21/23 (can no longer find a version number available in About Illustrator). Updating legacy text causes text box and layer to completely disappear. Upon googling this is a known bug in previous versions of illustrator that seems to have reappeared.

    OS: Windows11 Pro 22H2
    アプリのバージョン: Illustrator CC 2023 ver.27.5

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順:
    Illustrator CC 2022 ver.26.5.3以前に合成フォントを使用して保存したAIファイルをIllustrator CC 2023 v27.5で開こうとしました。

    実際の結果:
    ウィンドウのタイトルバーに「応答なし」と表示され、アプリケーションがフリーズするため、AIファイルを開くことができません。

  20. Opentype-SVG no longer rendered correctly in 2023

    I have some Opentype-SVG fonts that render correctly in MacOS with Pages/Number/Keynote, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint, in Chrome, and LibreOffice (Mac/Linux). That's several font rendering engines.

    In Illustrator 2023, however, they were rendered stretched horizontally (as if the SVG occupy the full space ignoring side-bearings). The spacing issues is even worse for SVG glyphs with standard ligatures --- the SVG occupies only the space of one character.

    I have used OT-SVG fonts in Illustrator before, and I don't recall seeing strange behaviour like this. Could this please be fixed?
