Threaded text area box disappears after saving
MacOS Ventura 13.7
Illustrator 28.6 and newer
When I convert a document to curves, save a copy, and then press Undo so I can have the text boxes editable again. As soon as I press Save after doing this, the second text frame in a thumbnail in Finder vanishes, while still existing in the document.

According to the team, this is expected to be fixed in the upcoming November Beta and Prerelease builds. Once it’s verified to be fixed, it will get pushed into the next main build.

Thank you for everything Egor :)

Updated to Illustrator 29 and the same happens. Had to go back to 28.5. This is critical for my work. Do you think adobe is going to correct this?
-
Thats exactly what happens with me with illustrator 28.6 or newer. 28.5 is ok. Thank you

Does not really matter if I choose PDF-compatibility on save.
The text vanishes even if I choose to Save As, and not just Save. -
Bingo! The thumbnail was not broken, but closing the saved fil and reopening this indeed looses the second frame, if I repeat the steps Exactly like you do!
Here is what I see on reopening. Is it the same for you?(Edited by admin) -
Hi Egor, thank you very much. Here is the video with a new file. Maybe its a "mac" thing. It happens from version 28.6 to newer. On both mac intel with ventura and on a macbook pro M1 with sequoia.

Still can’t reproduce it, on Windows. Thumbnails don’t loose the second threaded text, nothing vanishes when a saved original file is reopened.
It’s either Mac-sepcific or file-specific probably... Pedro, can you please remove from a file everything but these texts, make sure the bug still happens with this stripped version (to make sure nothing else influences the behavior), and share it here? -
And when I open back the file the second threaded text is missing.
-
Ah. You mean a thumbnail in Finder on Mac. And it’s not consistent with the doc. The threading is in place, but the second threaded text is missing in the thumbnail. You forgot to show or mention this, OK
Interesting... thanks for the video. Updating the header, so the people can locate this report if they have the same problem. -
Check this video please.

Can’t replicate.
This is what I try:
1. Create two threaded area type text blocks
2. Save file
3. Select All, Create Outlines
4. Undo
5. Save file
Nothing gets lost, nor the text or the threaded connection.
Do I get the description of the problem wrong?
Pedro, can you please make a short video showcasing the problematic behavior ?
