Large Amounts of Text overrun text area, disregard justification
I'm using Illustrator CC (2017).
I am creating a 6'x4' poster, where a single text box holds the entire text of the Bible (~730,000 words) as a single string of text (regular spaces between words, but no paragraph returns) in Helvetica Neue Lt Std, 107 Extra Bold Condensed, 3 pt size with 2.7 pt leading, all caps, full justification, default hyphenation. I am using a text wrap around a compound object with a transparent fill to create a negative space in the midst of this text block (in my case, that compound object is text converted to a shape, so…9 votesThanks for reporting this bug Illustrator Team really appreciate this.

Since the recent update (Dec2017), some fonts randomly deactivate approx every half an hour, in both Illustrator and Indesign. Also when typing a font name in the search area of the type window, the letters jumble around making it impossible to search and jump directly to the font I want - it's incredibly frustrating and time wasting.
Can you please tell me how to fix this bug1 vote -

cant copy text from illustrator and paste to indesign
When I attempt to copy selected text characters (not the object) and paste in Indesign, I get outlined characters. I have to go through TextEdit, or any other place I can paste text, then copy it again to get text that will paste in Indesign as characters.
2 votesThe latest version of Illustrator and InDesign have better handling of the buffer contents now. A selection of text at character level from Illustrator now gets copied and pasted fine in Indesign.
Please check if it works for you now and comment back.

Scrolling over the Font Family closed dropdown doesn’t respect Filters applied properly
You guys are amazing. I can set my mouse over the font selection box, and without opening the drop down menu, I can scroll through fonts.
The bug is that after setting my font filter, I continue to scroll through an unfiltered list of fonts, unless I open the drop down menu.

Illustrator 2018 Loses ability to keep text uniform when transforming the type on path
Illustrator 2017 had the ability to, while transforming the type on the path shape, to keep the text on it the same size and proportions when doing so. I would select the path with direct selection tool, then hit command, and text would stay uniform when transforming path.
Now, in illustrator 2018, using same steps and command, type doesn't stay uniform, it gets squished.
Below are video links I recorded to show how the action works in 2017 and 2018 illustrator.
2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8QORO_9Xro
2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XscdrAqBZR8Notice how type gets distorted when moving bounding box in 2018, but I was able…

Delay of text cursor
- Illustrator 22.0.0 (64-bit).
- There is a delay in the text cursor showing up when it's moved with arrows or a text path is newly clicked, requiring one to wait for it before being able to continue working.
- The text cursor should be immediately visible.
- There is a delay instead of a couple seconds. (That's a long time when making many moves in a row.)

Clicking to the side of a (point) text doens't put cursor at the end of line
Illustrator CC 2018
Mac OS X El Capitan and Windows 10This used to work on CS6 (at least on Mac): with type tool selected, having clicked anywhere in the middle of a text (point, not area), if I wanted to go to the end of the line (eg to continue typing), I could click anywhere to the right of the text and the cursor would move to the end of the line.
Now, if I do that, it deselects the text (sometimes creates a new point text.
If I want to continue typing, I have to click exactly just…

Group selection + free transform no longer works on text boxes to resize area without changing text
When I have a textbox open in Illustrator, in the past I could use the group selection tool to select just the box surrounding the type and manipulate that without affecting the text but now the bounding box doesn't even appear when I have the box selected without the type.
Currently to manipulate the box without the type I would need to individually adjust each anchor point on the box, the free transform tool was previously very convenient for working around the fact that there's no actual feature to distinguish between manipulating the text box and the actual type but…

Can’t use kerning between two characters with Cintiq plugged in
I can’t use the "kerning between two letters" in the Character panel when working on my Imac with Cintiq plugged in. This part of the Character panel is set to "Auto". The pop up with "metric" and "optical" is not showing up. I can kern between two characters manually, but would like to set a whole word to "optical". The bug disappears when I am plugging off my Cintiq and working with the mouse on my Imac. Horrible. Fix this.

AI CC2018 doesn't show certain font styles, while CC2017 does
I have ITC FrizQuadrata installed. This font family has 4 styles: normal, italic, bold and bold italic.
AI CC2017 does show all four.
CC2018 shows only one — 'ITC'.It doesn't show it when you type family name, it doesn't show other styles in drop-down style list.
If I copy/paste text with needed font family style from 2017 to 2018, AI will show me two identical font names but two different preview near them (and again no italics).2 votesPlease get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com
Please create a sample file in CC 2017 with styles that you do not see in CC 2018. Create a package out of it so that we also get the font files for investigation and share the package with us. For sharing the package you can either upload to your creative cloud files or any other file sharing system like Dropbox, Wetransfer etc..Warm Regards,

Kerning Font Characters (Letters) Causes Cursor to Jump Around
While kerning letters in a statement, each time I press the up arrow to give more space or to press the down arrow to shrink space between letters, the cursor jumps to the second line in some random spot. I have to move the cursor back each time I press the up arrow and down arrow. This is definitely a bug.
