  1. text edit

    Editing text in Illustrator 2019 is so difficult -- there's a heavy lag, and it is incredibly frustrating. This is size 12 font, small file -- there is no reason why editing this text should be lagging, and I've noticed others having the same problem. Please fix this ASAP!

  2. Type on Path Issue

    After I apply type on a path (circle) the circle isn't a circle anymore.

    Circle without type on a path: Same height, Same width.
    Circle with type on a path: Different height, Different width.

    I never had that issue before, after i apply text on a path (circle) the circle has still the same height & width values, why not now?

    Please update adobe illustrator in January 2019

  3. Cannot paste text from Chrome to Illustrator

    I use Wrike within Google Chrome for workflow and am given copy to use in various graphics. Since updating to 23.0.3 Illustrator does not paste from Wrike/Chrome. When I restart illustrator it sometimes goes back to normal but then randomly it will stop working later on

  5. Type On A Path text not sticking exactly to path

    When Type On A Path is applied to a circle, some type is input, and the type is rotated by effect (not permanently), the type no longer stays on the path.

  6. Illustrator will not use Verdana.ttf

    Made PDF from Bridge using Verdana.ttf. Open PDF in illustrator on same mac and it will not see the Verdana fonts, wants to change them to an OTF version which is not even on my system. Causing numerous issues since my client just changed to Verdana for universal access documents.

  7. Cannot Scale Images or Text

    As I'm illustrating on Illustrator, I cannot scale images or text suddenly. I would uninstall and re-install the program to get rid of the bug, but it keep returning randomly. I do not hit or click on any key or button to make this happen. Every time is comes back on its own unprovoked.

    It happens on both my work and home macbook.
    A text box, for example would be too small for the copy inside it, but I cannot expand the box because the box seems to be frozen in its exact shape.
    I can drag the box anywhere…

  8. Sentence case deletes first letter of each line.

    I use the change case multiple times daily, since I frequently receive text content in all caps. I recently started using Illustrator CC 23.0.2. Anytime I use (specifically) the "sentence case" option it deletes the first letter of each (paragraph) line. It's extremely annoying. I have to open InDesign to do it and change it there, then bring it back into Illustrator.

  9. Font style descriptor repeated in the Font's name

    I just created and exported a new font using Glyphs app.
    While I was testing it, I realize how the style descriptor "Regular" appeared in the name as well.
    Tried to fix this with Glyphs support as long as I discovered it's this way only on Illustrator.
    No repetition on Photoshop or other non-Adobe apps.
    Problem goes away if I have 2 or more styles, but other single-styled fonts (like Impact) don't have this repetition.
    Might be a bug?

  10. "Create Outlines" is causing text to move from its original position !

    When outlining text in artwork to send to the printer, the text moves from its original position by a fraction.
    This is catastrophic for finished art purposes.
    Dealing with misaligned print can be hard enough without the file being off from the beginning.

  11. 🐛 Illustrator CC2018 doesn't show certain font styles while Adobe Xd does.... [BLOCKER!!!!]

    The font style is visible in all tools but not in Illustrator and Photoshop. What is more than annoying... A hotfix would be nice because it's definitively a colossal blocker!

  12. Asks me to login to Creative Cloud when I try to "Find Fonts"

    When I try to search for non-native fonts that I've downloaded after opening a file from a non-Adobe cloud program, it says I need to go to "Help" and log in to Creative CLoud. When I go to "Help", it says I'm already signed in. Restarting the program and trying again does not fix the problem.

  13. Unwanted spacing when hitting certain keys

    Mac OS 10.14.1 running Illustrator 23.0.2
    When entering text, certain keys will make the cursor skip around, not allowing the proper formatting of the text.

    I was trying to type G. Echinulata, and when I got to 'n', the cursor skipped backwards, separating the first and second part of the text. Using an upercase 'N' seems to work as expected.

    I've experienced this with lowecase 'n', and 'f'.

  14. spell check english

    My Illustrator is set to default language English USA but it always does spell check in Spanish. I make sure that it is checked for English in the character tab, but even after changing it to English, my spell check goes back to Spanish. I am running Illustrator CC 2019, 23.0

  15. missing fonts logged in error

    When I open a document with missing fonts, the 'resolve missing fonts' screen keeps telling me I'm currently logged out of Creative Cloud, and to go to "help/log in". This despite the fact I'm logged in, and going to "help" shows my account name and logged in status..

    Hi,

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you due to this issue and getting back to you this late.
    We are unable to reproduce this issue in house.
    Can you help the Illustrator team to isolate this issue further so that we can nail this down?
    If yes, then please let me know the following:
    1) Is this Issue still happening on your machine in the Latest version 23.0.3 ?
    2) If yes , Kindly follow the steps mentioned on the Kb Article "https://helpx.adobe.com/in/fonts/kb/troubleshoot-font-activation.html

    If they don’t solve the problem, collect the logs as per instruction in the troubleshooting page and email to fontsupport@adobe.com and support@typekit.com .

  16. Leading bug (Character panel)

    There seems to be a leading bug in the latest version. The leading automatically created is usually too spaced vertically, or creating a text area creates pseudo-Latin lines of text that are on top of each other.

  18. Text edits have no undo, do not trigger file as updated

    When editing a block of text. Back delete key does not work and forward delete key deletes from start of block instead of cursor/insertion point. Text has to be highlighted to be deleted. Undo for deleted text is unavailable. Document does not indicate any changes and can be closed without a save dialog and thus losing edits.
