text change when opening in Illustrator CC 2019
Illustrator 23.0.1 on Mac OS 10.12.6
I have issues when I open a document that was created in Illustrator CC2017 in CC 2019. It seems that the text spacing is different, so sometimes some characters are changing to the next line!
See example exact same document between CC 2017 and CC 20191 vote -
Vectorise text doesn't work on text mask
There's a bug in Illustrator (all versions MacOS 10.12.6):
when there's a non-vectorised text mask in a file and you do select all -> vectorise text, the non-vectorised text mask will not be vectorised.
Then when you re-open the file on a computer without the active fonts, it won't give you a warning that there's a missing font!
Only when you click on the mask it will say that there's a font missing.1 vote -
Type Tool Craziness
The latest update to Illustrator CC seems to have completely rendered the type tool useless. It's not stable, it has trouble selecting text. It has trouble staying active. Is this a compatibility issue with the touch pad? If need be, I can create a screen recording of all the craziness it's doing.

Type on Circle Path Centers at 45º
When I type on a circular path, something I've done a million times, it now centers at 45º instead of 90... despite anchor points at the cardinal NESW.

Letter outlines distorting bug
In type, I noticed that some curve points looked like they had 'kinked'.
But checking the Glyphs font master and the generated font, all was fine.
Strange thing is that in Illustrator the actual vector line is correct (no kink, in highlighted blue on the attached image) but the black-filled area DOES have a kink (see the version where I added a magenta outline - the circle indicates a kink).It’s like Illustrator is rounding off the values of the point placements when rendering on-screen displays, but still preserving the actual paths (which are not seen when printed - just…

Text always shows as black
Sometimes, when I apply color to a text box (using the swatches or the eyedropper) the color shown on screen is black even though in the Appearance panel the Fill is the one I applied.
I made a screenshot (attached) to demonstrate4 votesResolved (Comments Open) · AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) respondedHi,
The attached screenshot displays the FILL color underneath the CHARACTERS in the APPEARANCE panel therefore any change applied to the FILL will not be displayed, to display it correctly please move the FILL color row on top of the CHARACTER row (Click & Drag) in the Appearance panel.
Hope this helps to resolve this issue.
With Best Regards,

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.

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
Thanks

Type Box fills with x's
When I choose the Type Box tool, and click in the document to create a Type Box or simply place text, as soon as the box is created, it fills with X's/squares and goes off on it's own continually typing the X/square.
At that point I am not touching the keyboard, there is no key being held down, yet it seems to be "stuck" in creating the X/square.
Initially it only happened with Myriad Pro, so I uninstalled that font. Then it continued to do it with Arial. Now it does it, no matter what. I've un-installed Illustrator and re-installed…

"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.MacOS Sierra

🐛 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!

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!

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
