  3. Text becomes impossible to edit after several minutes of having the program open

    Working on macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and Illustrator 23.0.4.

    After working in the program for a few minutes, transform controls no longer appear around text boxes when selected (show transform controls does not fix the issue). Text attributes are then buggy when applied (tracking will not apply to selected word, can't change font). Shortly after, I can no longer select text boxes at all.

    I'm a graphic designer and this issue is hurting my productivity greatly. Please provide a solution!

  4. When a document using Japanese TrueType font is opened in different OS environment, font warning is given

    When Japanese TrueType font is used in a document and opened in different OS environment,
    Even though you have installed the same font, you will get a font warning when you open it.
    Screenshots are created on Windows and open on macOS. But the opposite is also true.

    1. Create a file in Windows environment and save it using related fonts
    2. When 1 is opened in macOS environment, the corresponding font is displayed as a font problem.
    3. Open Font Search after opening has not caused any problems

    There are three types of fonts used, but problems occur with Japanese fonts or…

  7. 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.

  8. Character/paragraph style incompleteness

    1. Creation of Character/paragraph style is not undoable.
      You can undo any operation before and after but creation of Character/paragraph style does not get into "undo" list. You have to delete it manually from styles list.

    2. Select text\paragraph, make Character/paragraph style. Selected text/paragraph is not set instantly to this newly created style but it should.

  9. 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…

  10. Weird font rendering problem

    I have a client-provided font (IND-Hoboken Sans) that is rendering W (capital w) strangely. The apex should be square/flat, but Adobe apps (I used Illustrator as my test, but I've seen the same problem in Photoshop as well) render the 1st & 3rd apex on an angle (even more bizarrely, different angles). Other applications (Font Book, TextEdit, MS Word, Keynote) render the character square as expected.

    Most bizarrely, Acrobat does NOT have this problem & renders the character as the system does (ie. as expected). As a test, I created an Illustrator file with the same word as both live…

  11. Reverse punctuation in Hebrew

  12. "Clear Overrides" in Paragraph Styles menu is needlessly picky

    I can clear overrides only if the selected text is all in a single paragraph style. If I select multiple lines in different styles (which happens all the time in lists of text, calendar items, etc), the thing is always dimmed out.

    This makes it needlessly tedious to get all the text back into a known set of styles, so that the styles themselves can be redefined and the text will update accordingly. (Example: taking formatted text to a new and differently-sized layout.)

  14. Acumin Font ampersands not printing or appearing in PDFs correctly.

    Ampersands in Adobe's Acumin font are not printing correctly. Sections are being "cut out". When you outline the font, it doesn't appear to be making a compound shape

  15. 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.

  16. Cant see entire font list in gyphs tab?

    When I open a New Document and want to view glyphs font list with Entire Fonts selected the lower drop-down doesn't change?! The only way I can get it working is by selecting one of the Adobe templates then go to Gylphs tab and then the font drop-down menu works. Odd, then after that all of my new documents work in the Gylphs tab that didn't work previously?! Once I close Illustrator I'm back to square one again. I have exactly the same set up as 2 colleagues I work with and theirs work from the off.
    Is it a…

  19. type editing

    When editing type, I will attempt to change its pt size or leading and no changes are made. When I attempt to undo those changes it jumps back about 10 steps. This happens at least once a day. I run the most recent macOS and CC.

  20. 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.
