As of v28 (2024), the bug fix for this issue is incomplete.
Reproduction steps:
1. Open a file of v10 or lower version in v22 (2018) or later.
2. Press “OK” in the legacy text warning.
3. Save the file using “Save As...” without making any changes. Close the file.
4. Open the saved file. Save it again using “Save As...” without making any changes. Close the file.
5. Open the file again. Update the legacy text.
The legacy text disappears at step 5.Sample v8 file

I'm still having this bug even with Illustrator CC 22.1. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
