Big problem with 'Horizontal Align Center' bug fix
Windows 7 64bit professional service pack 1,
Illustrator CC 23.0.6.The recent fix for "The 'Horizontal Align Center' option does not align text with the center of object if text has tracking applied on it" in version 23.1 is causing all of our files, tens of thousands of documents, to display incorrectly when you open them, shifting text automatically. We need to be able to turn off this "fix" in settings or something please. We produce scale rules and navigational equipment etc. and almost every one of our files is incorrect if we upgrade to 23.1! We are stuck on…

constrain with shift key not working
I'm trying to move the bottom line of a text box.
I select the box's line with open arrow, hold down the SHIFT key to constrain - and it automatically deselects the type box that I was trying to move. I can select the line with the open arrow and move it that way, but it's too easy to make an error and shift the box. I need the corners to remain perfectly square which is why I'm holding the shift key.
I've had this problem with the last few upgrades.
I'm an Adobe Illustrator user for more than 25…

Illustrator freeze after trying to paste HD-picture from the clipboard in Text Block
Trying to paste HD-picture from the clipboard in Text Block - Illustrator perceives the picture as a set of characters and can not cope with the amount of information.

Stroke behind text.
In the appearances panel, stroke is never allowed to go behind the type with click and drag.
I have to "trick" it by adding a stroke behind a shape, then making a style and then applying that on the type.
Would love for this bug to be smoothed out.

Type Tool is very slow - Adobe Illustrator CC 2019
I recently update Adobe Illustrator CC to the latest version (CC 2019) and the type tool is painfully slow. Every time I try to use it, I get 15-20 seconds of the pinwheel before the cursor shows up. Once the tool is finally activated, everything takes a prolonged amount of time (5-10 seconds to type a letter, etc.) Thanks for any help.
12 votesHi All,
Since two users has confirmed that issue is resolved after updating to latest release, so closing the bug. If you face the issue even after updating to 23.0.3, please write an email to sharewithai@adobe.com

text expands inaccurately
Mac OS 10.13.6 AI 23.1.1
See att screenshot. I converted this type to outlines, then Expanded Appearance, then Expanded stroke and fill. Results are superimposed over the original red/orange type. You can that the converted outline does not match the type; in general the top is pushed rightward and the bottom leftward. I tried skewing the outline to correct it but while that may nudge some curves and vertices back to where they belong, it pushes others out. The only solution I know is to tweak and/or redraw the path, which is an extremely time-consuming task. It appears that this…1 vote -
Fonts not updating on the fly
Copied from my forum inquiry that I eventually solved on my own...
I am a type designers & I use illustrator in building & testing fonts as part of my production workflow. I use the same array of font apps along with my cc2019 suite on 2 different machines. One is a mac mini one is an imac, both are on the latest mac os.
On the mac mini, with Illustrator open I can see changes to a font immediately reflected in the document. In other words if I replace a .otf or .ttf font file installed at mac hd/library/fonts…

v23.1.1: Text with the "Outline Object" effect and Preview Bounds enabled has shifted to the right when opening an existing file
We have existing AI files with text, which has the following characteristics:
- Text has the Outline Object effect enabled;
- Illustrator preferences "Preview Bounds" is checked;
- Paragraph is "centred"When we open these AI files we find that the text has been shifted to the right a little bit.
This has occurred on both the Windows 10 and Mac OS Mojave operating systems. To fix the issue we downgraded to Illustrator 23.0.6

Tracking plus center/right justify broken
macOS 12.13, Illustrator 2019 v23.1.1
The v23.1 update broke center/right justify on point type when tracking is applied. When tracking is applied, and type is center or right justified, the alignment uses the tracking after the last character to determine the center or right alignment point, then the type is not visually aligned correctly.
To reproduce in v23.1.1:
Create a point type object, type XX for the text.
Center justify the type. The type will correctly be centered exactly between the 2 X's.
Add a lot of tracking to the type, the anchor point (center) will be just to the…

Glyph rendering bug with non-empty space char on OT-SVG fonts
The space character is not rendered consistently when it includes an SVG glyph:
- The glyph is invisible by default
- But - as expected - it is visible in full color when moving the text object, and in greyscale version when switching to Outline mode
15 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.3.1 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Millimeter setting for font size not correct! cost me $1000s in reprinting
I'm a freelance designer working for a top hair care brand which markets their products world wide. We had our entire front label product run rejected because it did not meet EU regulatory standards for ml and net weight type size. When creating the labels the first time I set my font size from points to mm to ensure I met the minimum size requirements of 3mm. Imagine my surprise when we heard from our EU distributor our product was rejected! This is where I made my mistake I trusted Adobe Illustrator program to ensure when I set a font…

Type objects duplicated on top and converted to outlines
Sometimes when opening up a file, type objects are copied and placed exactly above the original type object, and converted to outlines. There are sometimes anywhere from 1 to 3 duplicated objects. It usually affects every type object in the document. The same issue has been affecting my colleagues' computers, and we often work off of the same documents and share them with each other.
We all have 15" MacBook Pros, using either Illustrator version 2018 or 2019, on Mojave.

Clicking Area-type tool adds forced line breaks
When I click the right-side handle to switch from Area-type tool to Point-type tool, illustrator adds forced line breaks to the end of each line. Annoying because when I go back to area-type tool to reflow the text, none of the text reflows.

Variable Font Rendering Distorts Master
I'm getting some weird things happening with a 4-axis font I'm working on.
Illustrator seems to mangle the outlines for some of the masters. I realize this font is doing some weird stuff, but hoping for some clarification if it's a bug in Illustrator or my font. It appears correctly on the web though, on Axis Praxis(Chrome).
I'm attaching the ttf. It only has an 'H' glyph present. If it's helpful, there's more information about the typeface and intentions at the link below. This issue is related to an upcoming version which isn't available yet. https://www.futurefonts.xyz/scribble-tone/whoa

Type on a Path Preview
When trying to type on a path around a circle, the preview shows the letters rotating abnormally, but when converting the text to outlines or printing the type, it corrects itself. Would be fine, but I can't design what I need without the preview first.

Installed Fonts Not Being Updated
I've tried the forums but this issue is still not solved & I've not been able to find a solution anywhere. Allow me to clarify.
Thi issueeffects both the font menus and fonts in the entire document & actually across unlimited documents after unlimited numbers of app restarts and system restarts. I assume this can be fixed because I have proper behavior on one machine & improper behavior on another.
I build fonts. I use Illustrator as one of many apps in which I test the fonts as part of my workflow. The problem I am having is that fonts…
