KERNING ON EXTENDED SELECTIONS...
My kerning worked just fine about an hour ago, but now every time I try to add a custom kerning value it gives me the warning: Kerning on extended selections can only be set to Auto or 0.
I can't seem to get this to go away.
I uninstalled & reinstalled Illustrator and it is still happening.
I tried many fonts of different types, and it still won't work.

cc 24.1 has the SAME issue, you can't expect us to use 22.1 as a fix, please take care of it.

I have just run into this issue in the middle of working on a file. It went from working for the first 25 minutes on the file to getting this error. I just did the update and the issue is still there.

Not available at all. Illustrator latest as of Feb 14, 2019 still doing this idiotic thing. Why is Illustrator being made clunkier and clunkier??

WHEN IS THIS GETTING FIXED?

All the issues with Type have NOT been fixed whatsoever. I've currently uninstalled the latest version of Illustrator TWICE. Once, without deleting all data and then again with deleting all data.

Still happening, I even uninstalled Ai and reinstalled but still can't kern properly.

Mine is doing this too. I press ESC to dismiss the dialog box but if I try to adjust kerning again, Illustrator crashes. I've lost work on the same file twice because I forget that KERNING DOESN'T WORK. Just for the record, I do have automatic data recovery turned on but I can't set it up to save constantly—it slows everything down.

STILL. BROKEN. Come on Adobe. This software is too expensive to have so many **** long-term problems.

Still an issue. The save shortcut still works thankfully but the interruptions to work-flow and productivity are something I thought Adobe would take seriously.

"Kerning on extended selections" just cropped up for me today when I updated 2017. Installed the pre-release build and this did not fix the issue. This is incredibly frustrating!

Godamn.. how can this kind of f*ckups exist on software that should have been tested and tried?
..anyways, for time being, ALT + O seems to be solution to get rid of the warning message, so you don't need to force quit Illustrator. I haven't found any other way to close the warning..

Ai 22.0.1 (macOS High Sierra v10.13.2)
When inputing a value for kerning in character palette, sometimes a dialog box pops up that reads "Kerning on extended selections can only be set to auto or zero..." From that point, I cannot click ok, Ai is innoperable and I have to force quit.
