SVG: RTL text is shifted
We have tried to import correct SVG with RTL text. The SVG looks ok in browsers(Chrome, FireFox). If we just open the SVG file in Adobe Illustrator the RTL text will be shifted to the right. As we see Adobe Illustrator pre-processes SVG but the result looks incorrectly. Are there some specifics of RTL processing that we can take into account? We aspect to see the same SVG rendering as in browsers. (see attached file : as SVG files can not be attached, I've replaced .svg with .txt)

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…

Pasting a hexadecimal color code into the Fill or Stroke under properties > appearance occasionally causes Illustrator to freeze up
- MacOS 10.14.5 (18F132)
- Select an object (for example, a rectangle), in the properties panel, under the appearance heading, select either fill or stroke, and paste a hex code into the textbox at the bottom of the popup panel. Occasionally, this results in Illustrator freezing, and can only be fixed by force-quitting.

ExtendscriptToolkit is 32bit-only, OSX Catalina is 64bit-only
I use a script I wrote for an important business function. For the last couple OSX upgrades, it has been warning me that ExtendscriptToolkit is not compatible with future versions of the OS. Specifically, OSX Catalina, which has been seeded to developers, will only support 64bit applications, and ExtendscriptToolkit is a 32bit application. Is that going to be addressed before the OS is released?

Fix the Dice Symbol please
You have included a symbol in the 3-d Symbols library of two dice. These dice are incorrect in that any opposite sides of a die need to add to seven. In you symbol you can clearly see a 3 and a 4 on the top die (On a real die these would HAVE to be on opposite sides of the cube) and on the lower die you can see a 6 and a 1, again these would have to be on the opposite sides.

Transparency on PNG not supported when imported or replaced
Transparency mask on the png file shows as white when imported or replaced into illustrator data created last week.
Transparency on the original png file on the illustrator is intact. The problem is seen only when the new png file is uploaded.
I thought it may be the png file, but the problem occurs only on the illustrator.
The problem started after updating both Photoshop 2019 and Illustrator 2019.

Adding an asset to the Asset Export panel adds another object with it
In the attached document when selecting one object and adding it to the Asset Export panel (with or without 'Option' key pressed), it'll always add the Light Red Curved brush the artboard #1, as if this line magnetized to all vectors on that artboard.

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.

CC Library Colours automatically adding themselves to Swatches when used
Hey there,
My team and I have recently noticed an error occurring when using the CC Colour Library.
When selecting an object and then a CC registered colour, we get an error message that states: "A different colour with the same name already exists in your document. Please rename this colour to use it in this document."
What we have noticed is that the colour automatically adds itself to swatches the first time you use it in a new document and then this error pops up every time. As such, how can we disable this function so that this doesn't…

Illustrator CC2019 23.0.3 crashes on save ONLY WHEN connected to Internet
Every time I attempt to save an Illustrator file, it freezes and I get the spinning wheel, to the point where I have to force quit. After I force quit and reopen, all my preferences are reset to default.
I've attempted saving on Dropbox, iCloud, my external hard drive, and my local hard drive - it all freezes. The only time it doesn't freeze is when I disconnect from the Internet, and at that point I can save literally anywhere I want.
This happens LITERALLY every single time. I've gotten to a point where whenever I work on Illustrator, I've…

Version 23.0.3 Adobe PDF Preset / Transparency Flattener Preset "Convert All Text to Outlines" Not Working
In all previous versions of Illustrator and InDesign, when saving a PDF, I have been able to set my PDF settings to convert all text to outlines by checking "Convert All Text To Outlines" in my Adobe PDF preset. Since my recent update to 23.0.3, this feature is no longer working properly. The setting is still an option, however, upon save/export of the PDF, text is not converted to outlines as it previously was.
I have reached out to customer support for this issue and have been informed that this issue is "expected behavior of the software".
How is this…
