Unable to uncheck Type Pref Indic options & Fill object with placeholder text on preference migration from 22.1
- MacOS Sierra ; Illustrator CC 23.0.1
- I'm trying to get the punctuation right while typing in Hindi, but I can't select "Indic Options". I went to Preferences>Type>Language Options. I can select "Show East Asian Options" but i can't seem to select "Show Indic Options" which is a bug.
- I expected to type correctly in Hindi
- I can't type in Hindi with the right punctuation and I'm on a strict deadline! Help

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 23.0.6 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

Agreed! Please, please fix. It's a nice feature if you want it, but super frustrating when you can't turn it off.

It doesn't seem like the "Auto Size New Area Type" does anything. It seems to always use auto-sizing on either way.
Furthermore "Fill New Type Objects With Placeholder Text" and "Show Character Alternates" is not clickable, at all. If you go to a different section, e.g. "Units", then back to "Type", those two last options will disappear. See video attached.
Information:
OS: Windows 10 Pro, latest update to this date.
Version of AI: 23.0.1 -

Same for me as well. It's ridiculous that I have to change that preference EVERY TIME I OPEN ILLUSTRATOR. PLEASE FIX THIS!!

After last update it still doesn't work. Cannot deactivate options: Fill New Type Objects With Placeholder text and Show Character Alternates in preferences.
Please fix it.

The same problem here.
Two options in Type section are non-clickable.
There is a bug in preferences window. Switching between sections and then returning to Type section makes two bottom lines dissappear (Fill New Type Objects With Placeholder text and Show Character Alternates) -
