Enter while typing does not get recorded in history as an Undo step
When I type a text in Illustrator and hit Enter to make a paragraph break, it does not get recorded into the history as an operation I can undo. This means all typed paragraphs get clumped in history together and get undone as a whole.
This is not how many other apps do, including InDesign and Word.
Some apps also consider line breaks as an interruption of flow, which would have been handy too.
It is quite similar to this report:
Illustrator does not treat the auto bullets as a separate Undo step

Pressing Backspace in text gets recorded in History as a chain of separate Clear steps
When we type a text, Ai treats it as one operation, all the time.
Even when we press Enter, the flow is considered to be uninterrupted — and there a bug report about this:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47038321
Even if an automatic conversion of bullets happen, Ai still thinks it’s not worth undoing — and there is a bug report about this as well: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46954429But for some reason when I hold Backspace to delete a bunch of text, Ai records each deleted symbol as a separate step, despite the fact it’s treated by users as a one operation, eating up the history…

Type on path tool bug
After reopening an Illustrator document containing multiple circle paths with type on them the text is no longer on their paths but rather scattered all over and beyond the artboard. Please see the attachments.
When you try to fix the scattered texts by clicking on the path with the type to path tool it will indicate the text was created in a different version of Illustrator (which is not the case) prompting you to click ok. This will have the text look as it should again. However if you then save and re-open the file the texts will be scattered…

「オーバープリントブラック...」の不具合
OS/macOS11.6.8
Illustrator.ver.27.7(以前のバージョンから同様の挙動と考えられます)スタイルの当たったテキストをCMYKの黒100でオーバーライドしたものに対して「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用するとCMYK黒100の部分がスタイルのカラーにフォールバックする。
再現方法
1.テキストフレームを用意し塗りに対して明るい色を設定した段落スタイルを適用する。
2.任意のテキストの塗りに対してCMY各0、K100のCMYKブラックを適用する。
3.このテキストフレームを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
4.CMYK黒で指定した部分は塗りに対してオーバープリントが設定されるが塗りがスタイルカラーに戻る。期待する結果
「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用してもスタイルを適用したあとでCMYKブラックをオーバーライドした部分の色が変わらずオーバープリント属性が設定される。実際の結果
「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用するとスタイルを適用したあとでCMYKブラックをオーバーライドした部分の色が変スタイルカラーに変わってしまう。回避方法
スタイルを適用した部分を黒でオーバーライドする際はCMYKブラックではなくグレースケールのブラックを利用すると回避可能。また、スタイルが適用されたあとCMYKブラックをオーバーライドされた部分のあるテキストフレームをスクリプトにてoverprint属性を適用しようとした場合も同様にスタイルカラーに戻ってしまいます。
回避方法がありますが、CMYKブラックとグレースケールブラックで挙動が異なるのは問題です。オーバープリントブラック処理は最終的に処理を行う場合が多い処理です。意図しない色変化が生じるリスクはできるだけ避けたほうが良いです。早急に改善いただきたいと思います。

Type on path not converting to outline
Operating System: OS X Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)
Version of Illustrator: 27.7I have an artwork which includes some type on a path (circle). When I go to send the file to a printer (PDF), I always outline the text as we've had issues in the past. For this artwork I've selected all the content and selected 'Convert to Outline', which has worked fine on all the type except the type on a path elements which just disappeared. I restarted Illustrator, but this didn't solve the problem.
The Type on a Path was part of a group, so I then…

Type on a Path Tool - Text disappears
After designing and saving the Illustrator file, everything seems normal.
Once I reopen the Illustrator file, then the text that has been placed on a curve (Type on a Path) disappears.
I have to either cut the entire path with text and then paste in place for it to work or select the curve that has the "invisible" text and reselect the font.
This has happened in different working files of mine.

Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol
As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176
If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.
For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.
Single Replace works fine.

Type on path positioning is now quantized and not smooth
Take a look at the GIF.
In Illustrator 2022 users were able to position start and end marker brackets with practically infinite precision, smoothly, even for a long, single-bezier path.
In 2023 these markers are quantized to 0.005 increments! For a long, single-bezier path, this creates laughably large steps (like, almost the width of an entire glyph).
Note that the quantization is per bezier segment, so if you put text on a path that has many anchor points, it won't be as noticeable. But adding loads of points to a path makes it much less editable later, of course, so…10 votesHi Everyone,

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…

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.〈にほんご〉
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。33 votesThis issue is fixed in latest beta and prerelease builds. Prerelease and Beta builds are available Creative Cloud Desktop Beta and Prerelease Apps section.

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:
- Create some text in a new document, ideally including the character "A"
- Set the typeface of the text to Charter Italic
- 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…

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.
