Overset text indicators do not show when Type on Path has overflow
Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not showing on newer illustrator versions on Text Paths (Point Text).
The text paths have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the Text on a path (point type) has text overflow.
As a map design company this is a big issue for us, as our files have thousands of text paths. We used to be able to identify crucial overset text information using these markers however they have vanished for the most past. Some files do occasionally show them but most do not. This is recently cause us to mistakenly print a files that have text overflowing with no indication.
- View using GPU and CPU makes no difference.
- It happens on old / new files when opened.
- Applies to all fonts,
- Some larger paths still show
- Does not differ if I toggle View > Show/Hide Text Threads

Ollie, when it happens to be missing — does it stay missing for a particular type-on-path object indefinitely? Reopening the doc, restarting Ai, no difference?
Can you share a simple test file that behaves like this for you (ideally with some standard font used)?
Does it happen in 30.3 only, or are you using an older build? Which build doesn’t have it? Have you tried Beta?
