Text wraps differently in Illustrator 2025 compared to previous version
Encountered a very frustrating bug after updating to Illustrator 2025 today and opening an existing file. It turns out that text within type areas wraps slightly differently in this new version, causing overflow errors in several places throughout the document.
The file I discovered this in was created yesterday in Illustrator 28.5.
Interestingly, when I hover the affected text area, the blue preview rendering shows the old, expected wrapping. There is no way to get it back in the actual, rendered text, though.
Zero changes have been made to this file since yesterday—only the Illustrator version has changed. I checked that this was indeed a bug by having a team member open the same file in the previous version of Illustrator, and the text was still displayed correctly there.
This is really frustrating, as the only workaround is to manually lower the kerning value at the end of the word that should be on the line above. Very annoying to have to take care of this in a design file that was already finished and approved.

Estlin, this looks familiar to me and I had it several times already, but not in the most recent version, but in all others through years. It’s nothing new :(
However, please send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com, so the team can investigate it.
Please put the font used as well, and share the link in the body of the email so that they can track it to this report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49067702
