  1. Random text passages appearing after creating a text box

    1. Adobe Illustrator off of Adobe CC
    2. Selected the Text Tool, drew a text box, random text passage appeared immediately with no reason.
    3. I expected just a text box to appear
    4. I received a passage of Latin with no clue as to how that could happen
    5. I've attached a snapshot

    Please help as I don't fully know if this is a bug or a feature that I have to edit.

  2. Kerning one pair effects the spacing of other random pairs.

    I'm having an issue when I go to kern a letter pair, the kerning effects the spacing between other pairs.

    I believe this similar bug was reported for CS5 but I am using CC 2018 22.0.1

    https://forums.adobe.com/message/4321697#4321697

    I have tried:

    • Clearing all Illustrator settings at startup.
    • Making sure text is not centered or justified
    • Using default font Myriad Pro with default settings.
    • Selecting all letters and zeroing out the kerning.
    • Turning off standard ligatures in Open Type

    Still this issue persists.

    Attached is an animated gif of the issue.

    It's not a bug, it's about hinting.

    When you change kerning it forces other letters to nudge a bit. And because AI (as any other tool) already nudges all letters on screen before drawing them to make outlines look clear on screen grid, this results visual nudge of those letters who happen to fall on other side of their previous position.

    Try to apply Outline Effect to this text and then kern. This will negate hinting.

  3. Rotate Tool flickering objects under transform

    1. 22.0.1 (OSX 10.13.1)
    2. Drawing some element (dosen't matter what), selecting the rotate-tool, trying to rotate the element while holding shift.
    3. being able to rotate in fixed angles.
    4. flickering element, no control over rotation (see video)

  4. Pen tool game tutorial

    https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/illustrator/how-to/pen-tool-game.html

    This game has been a valuable resource for teaching Illustrator. However, the game has been broken now, and Adobe do not seem to care or register the problem.

    The resources you provide to teach and support products are an important part of the package. It does not look good to see such neglect of what was an excellent idea.

    I would even like to see more of these interactive learning experiences, as it is more engaging and useful than most other types such as videos.

    Obviously there is some maintenance of a web game, but it should be easy…
