Behavior of buttons in the character panel when automatically converted to an icon panel
I'm using macOS Tahoe 26.2, with English system language and the Japanese version of Illustrator. This issue started with Illustrator version 30.
- Check "Automatically turn into icon panel" in the User Interface preferences.
- Click the ♥ button in the character panel or the scroll bar when selecting a font.
- The character panel closes.
- This issue did not occur up to version 29 of Ai.

To add, it works fine in the control bar displayed at the top of the screen.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, this issue does not occur in my Windows 11 environment, even with Ai ver. 30.
I've attached a screenshot of macOS Tahoe with Japanese settings.
There's no problem while I'm swiping the cursor over the font name. Clicking the buttons or scroll bar on the character panel closes the panel. -
Hm... When I try to enable 'Auto-collapse Iconic Panels' in Preferences > User Interface, in Illustrator 30.1, on Windows 10, and then try to select a font in the Character panel, it stays opened. The only way to make the panel collapse when I browse the fonts is to click the title of the main window — but then font explorer dropdown still stays.
Can you please record the behavior you are seeing at your side?
