Character Panel Typing Font Names Manually Issue
When trying to type certain font names manually in the first field the placement of the letters jumps to the wrong spot.
When I type "Arial Bold", "Arial Regular", or "Cooper Black" the cursor or text placement seems to fail and not type the text in order from left to right. I saw one other post here with a similar issue but it could not be reproduced. This is the first time I have seen this so far on the new Illustrator CC 2020. After typing the "o" in "Arial Bold" the letters end up typing to the left of the letter instead of the right. This doesn't happen with every letter combo either, which is why I would suggest the font names above without the quotation marks.

Hi All,
Apologies for the inconvieniecne caused to you due to this issue but we are not able to reproduce the issue at our end.
To nail down the issue further we would like the following information from your end :
1) Setting in the font search dialog – (“Search Entire Font Name” or “Search first name only”)
It would be really helpful if you could provide a short video having steps to reproduce the issue.
Share with us at ShareWithAI@adobe.com in a Zip file.
Please mention the title of this issue as the subject of the mail.
Thanks and Regards

I have this same problem. I can't type a font name in font field. The cursor keeps jumping back and creates a jumbled order of the letters I'm typing. For e.g. ainsdale becomes anidslea etc. Win 10/ Acer Swift 3. Same problem using laptop keyboard or the bluetooth keyboard.

I'm not exactly sure when, but currently this issue is no longer happening. It seemed to be fine in v24 today and is still okay in v24.0.1
