  1. Cursor indicator jumps from linked text boxes

    When I try to move the cursor between text in linked text boxes, the cursor instead jumps to the first text box. This is seen particularly when selecting a space in the text, or when trying to move the cursor to the front of a text line within a linked text box.

  3. accent change fonts

    When we use Variable Concepr Fonts if I write text that contain letters with accents, the style of the typography changes. It's quite annoying.

  4. Retype does not work at all in Czech version of Illustrator CC 2024 (28.0)

    The Retype function does not work at all on Windows 10. All attempts end with the message Selection not recognized. It doesn't matter if it's a vector, a bitmap. It doesn't recognize anything. Not even Hello in Helvetica.
    On MacOS 13.4.1 the app displays possible similar fonts but you can’t select them, download them, nothing. Dead end.

    Nice work, Adobe!

  5. 警告無しに文字詰めが変化する

    ver.27において、マイナーバージョンリリース又はマイクロバージョンリリースにおいてオプティカルカーニングの仕様が度々変更されています。これ自体は改善の意味合いの強い対応で仕様変更と考えます。
    しかし、仕様変更以前のバージョンの文字組み仕様が異なるにもかかわらず、なんの警告も無しに文字組みが変化します。こういったケースではユーザーに注意を促す警告を表示するべきでしょう。

    再現手順
    1. Illustrator ver.26.5にてエリア内文字を作成し文字間のカーニングを「オプティカル」に設定し、均等配置を指定する。
    2.Illustrator2020形式で保存する。
    3.Illustrator ver.27.9で開いてTツールを用いてエリア内文字にカーソルを入れるか、テキスト自体を移動する。
    4.カーニングの状態が変化する。

    期待する結果
    カーニングが変化する際は警告を表示する。

    実際の結果
    なんの警告もなくカーニングが変化する。

    理想を言えば、既存のファイルに対して新しいカーニング値を自動的に適用せずに以前と全く同じ表示にするのが良いですが、仕様の変更自体は改善の意味合いが強く、仕方ない面もあるかと思います。しかし、編集しているユーザーが、この変化に気が付かない事によりデータトラブルを誘発する可能性もあります。
    これは2022の最終バージョンが書き出す2020形式のファイルでも起こる挙動です。影響を受けるファイルは相当数存在するはずですから、せめて警告が表示されるようにしていただきたいと思います。

  6. Make it possible again to move Text by its Anchor Point

    When Text is baseline shifted, it is no longer possible to move the Text Object by grabbing its Anchor Point, unfortunately.

    Please repair that.

  7. Changing text case switches hyphenation on ( from off )

    Switching the text case from one case to another turns hyphenation on if it was previously set to off.

    I believe this is a new bug in v 27.9. ( today's date is Oct 5 ,2023 for the record )

    This is especially bad becuase users have been asking for hyphenation to be OFF by default. Asking for years and years. 5+ years I think.

  8. Double-digit numbered bullet points are adding additional space after the number

  9. 均等配置したエリア内文字をポイント文字に切り換えると開始位置がずれる

    エリア内文字が均等配置で設定されている場合、ポイント文字に切り換えるとエリア内文字のエリアの半分開始位置がシフトする。

    mac0S 11.6.8 (Intel/imac27inch)
    Illustrator ver.27.9.0
    1. Tツールをドラッグしてエリア内文字を作成・入力する。
    2. 段落パネルにて1のエリア内文字に均等配置(どれでも良い)を設定
    3. 「書式→ポイント文字に切り換え」を実行。
    4. ポイント文字に変更されるが、開始位置がシフトする。

    期待する結果
    切り換えを行っても開始位置はずれない。

    実際の結果
    ポイントテキストの開始位置が大きくずれる。

  10. Slanted instances are not properly sorted

    When a variable font has ***** axis and right leaning instances (common oblique styles) the Oblique instances gets sorted before the Romans on the font menu dropdown. See attachment.

    According to the OT spec, right leaning instances must use negative values, so I‘m guessing Adobe’s font menu is sorting instances by slnt coordinates in ascending direction when it should be in the other direction.

    This is not only bad and uncommon for users but is also pushing font developers to make fonts against the spec just to circunvent this situation. Plase fix.

    Note. All the fonts tested have proper STAT…

  11. Paragraph Styles: Where has Paragaph Direction for Middle Eastern Version gone? (AI ME 2024)

    1. Mac OSX Monterey 12.6.8 (21G725)
      Mac Pro (Late 2013)

    2. Illustrator 2024 Middle Eastern Version (27.9)

    3. Problem is on Paragraph Style:
      While under General on the left column I can see under "Indents and Spacing" that my Paragraph Direction is set to "Right to Left", I can't find this definition where is should be, on the left column under "Indents and Spacing". It is missing.

    4. Paragraph Direction should appear under "Indents and Spacing" on the Paragraph Style options.

  12. フォントが反映されない

    一部フォントが反映されません。
    現在確認できているのは「AB-kirigirisu」「UDShinMGoPro6N-Light」「TBUDRGoStd-Regular」「mplus-1c-heavy」「mplus-2p-black」の5種です。
    この5種がillustrator内の文字ウィンドウのフォントファミリーを設定の一覧に表記がありませんが、ブラウザのAdobe Font内にはフォントが追加されている状態になっています。
    フォントをアクティベートする、フォントを一旦削除してから再度追加しなおす、PCを再起動するなどしましたが、改善しませんでした。

  13. Font Height settings not working with all-small-cap typefaces

    1. Working in MacOS 13.5.2

    2. Illustrator 27.8.1

    3. When setting type in a Area Type box, the default Font Height is snapping to the x-height of the text, but only when using fonts with small-cap style lowercase letterforms, rather than typical lowercase forms. When using a font with typical lowercase, the Font Height of the box is defaulting to the height of uppercase letters, as expected.

    This behavior is happening to fonts installed locally on my system, as well as those activated though Adobe Fonts.

    Selecting various settings for the Font Height option in the Character panel does not alter this behavior,…

  15. Disparition du texte curviligne lors de l'enregistrement d'un PDF et lors de la réouverture du fichier Illustrator 27.8.1

    Microsoft Windows 11 (x64 bits), Illustrator 27.8.1

    Les textes curvilignes créés à partir de cercles et stockés dans une couche de texte disparaissent lors de l'export en pdf. Ils sont toujours présents dans l'arborescence des couches qui elles-mêmes sont en statut « visibles » mais les textes en question ne sont plus visibles dans la vue en plan.

    Le texte réapparaît lorsque l'on clique sur l'emplacement du texte curviligne pour l'éditer, le texte se rafraichit et réapparaît.

  16. Inserting a dash followed by a space makes the dash uneditable

    When using the type tool, inserting a dash, spacebar, and then typing makes the dash undeletable. So type: - ohio with Myriad Pro Regular 12pt. the — is not able to be backspaced to remove, it is almost like it is adding a tab spacing. If you create outlines of text then you can select and remove, but text is uneditable at that point.

  17. 合成フォントを使うとaiファイルのPDFデータが空白になる

    「PDF互換ファイルを作成」をチェックONにして保存したaiファイルには「ネイティブデータ」と「PDFデータ」の2種類の異なるデータが格納されています。

    Illustrator環境設定「ファイル管理 > バックグラウンドで保存/書き出し」をONにして合成フォントを使うと、aiファイルの「PDFデータ」が空白(PDFのコンテンツストリームが空)になってしまう場合があります。なお「ネイティブデータ」は正常に保存されます。

    ●PDFデータの確認方法
    拡張子「ai」を「pdf」に変更してAcrobatで開く。拡張子「ai」のままAcrobatで開いてはいけない。
    または、InDesignドキュメントにリンク配置する。
    または、macOSならクイックルックで表示する。

    再現手順

    ●前準備
    1. Illustratorを起動
    2. 環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックONにする
    3. 合成フォントをすべて削除する
    ●再現操作
    1. 新規ドキュメントを作成
    2. 合成フォントを新規作成
    3. テキストツールで文字を入力
    4. 2の合成フォントを3に適用する
    5. ファイル保存
    6. 合成フォントの設定を変更する(ウェイト変更など)
    7. ファイル保存

    2020(24)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
    2021(25)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
    2022(26)は5の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。

    2023(27)は7の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。

    対処方法

    環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックOFFにする。ただし抑止はされるが完全に防止できるわけではない。

  19. Bullets are forced when pasting a text

    Please take a look at the GIF.
    I paste a text (using Paste without formatting) into a mixed selection, made with Select All command. The text has both bulleted and non-bulleted paragraphs.
    I expect it to NOT have bullets enabled, since the first paragraph in the selection does not have it.
    Instead, Illustrator forces bullets for the whole pasted text.

  20. Text shifts when moving text frames which use Every-line Composer

    As per this thread at forums:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/every-line-composer-bug-text-shifts-when-moving-text-frame/m-p/13992952

    Ai will recalculate justification each time a text frame with Every-line Paragraph Composer is nudged, either with arrow keys or dragging.

    Although it’s clearly just moving, and should not trigger recalculation, Ai does it (I can think only of one case when it should happen — when objects with Text Wrap enabled are present and intersecting the the moved object — and they aren’t and don’t).

    The text wobbles a bit and it's slow, to recalculate this every time.
    Why does it happen? InDesign does not do this.
