BUG: Saving file breaks paragraphs created with Area Type Tool into separate objects
I am a comic book letterer who has been using Illustrator for this purpose for several years. I have separate layers for artwork, captions, and text. I have been using the area type tool to place text for the speech bubbles, which are oval in shape. While working the layers look fine. Upon Save and then re-opening, however, each of the lines in the speech bubble is saved as a separate text object rather than as a paragraph. On some pages, the text is broken up even further so that the letters are different objects.

Lisa, what format do you use to save these files? AI of PDF? if PDF — what preset exactly? do you have the 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' option enabled?
Do you have something with non-100% transparent on these pages?
Which version are you using?
