  1. Character styles seem sticky, sluggish

    The character styles dialog seems very sluggish, sometimes being unresponsive for a minute. So far no crashes, but a major pain having to wait for the styles to register changes....

  2. Illustrator 29.1 Can't Import AI Files From Other Apps

    I posted something about this in the Illustrator user forums earlier today. I've been dealing with a bug present in the Illustrator 29.1 update that was pushed to users this morning. This new version cannot open AI files exported by rival graphics applications if the AI file contains any live text objects. If the artwork is all raw vectors, even with complex fills, it opens fine. Any live text makes it a no-go.

    When attempting to open the AI file containing text objects this message is displayed:
    "Illustrator could partially read this file. We recovered as much of the file…

  7. "Load paragraph styles" or "Load all styles" doesn't overwrite styles with same name

    I have a set of 9 template files that I need to update. Each file contains an identical set of about a dozen paragraph styles. I want to update all the paragraph styles in all of the files.
    I updated the styles in the first file (correctstyles.ai) and changed kerning from Auto to Optical. When I open the next file, (e.g. SHED-2023-5-simple-columns-narrow.ai), I use "Load Para Styles" and choose the first file (correctstyles.ai). When I check the style definitions, kerning is still set to Auto. The kerning value should have changed to Optical to match the style from…

  8. Eyedropper DOES NOT CONSIDER COLOR EXCLUSION for TEXTS MULTICOLOR

    Eyedropper tool between two text boxes with mixed color letters. How to copy ONLY text attributes leaving the colors unchanged.
    Even by deselecting fill color and stroke color in the eyedropper detection and eyedropper application boxes, the color of the destination text becomes unique depending on which is pressed as the source and the letters do not remain colored differently.
    Please resolve!

  11. Single line text temporarily breaks to two lines when being moved or adjusted

    This issue has been discussed in the Adobe Community forums, and other people have been able to replicate it.

    This is the current 28.1 version of Illustrator as of Dec. 21st 2023.

    If I have text that is close to the edge of the text box, and I try to make kerning between two characters tighter/smaller, Illustrator temporarily shows the text breaking into two lines, as if it won't fit on one, before readjusting to one line again. It's making it very difficult to fine-tune kerning, as I can't see the progress I'm making. The kerning information in the Character…

  12. PDF live text strings are broken into individual character groups

    Operating system: Windows 10
    Version: Illustrator 28

    When importing PDF files into Illustrator, some live text strings are broken up into individual characters inside group layers.

    The same text strings are not broken if the PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat.

  13. Make it possible again to move Text by its Anchor Point

    When Text is baseline shifted, it is no longer possible to move the Text Object by grabbing its Anchor Point, unfortunately.

  14. Changing text case switches hyphenation on ( from off )

    Switching the text case from one case to another turns hyphenation on if it was previously set to off.

    I believe this is a new bug in v 27.9. ( today's date is Oct 5 ,2023 for the record )

    This is especially bad becuase users have been asking for hyphenation to be OFF by default. Asking for years and years. 5+ years I think.

  15. Paragraph Styles: Where has Paragaph Direction for Middle Eastern Version gone? (AI ME 2024)

    1. Mac OSX Monterey 12.6.8 (21G725)
      Mac Pro (Late 2013)

    2. Illustrator 2024 Middle Eastern Version (27.9)

    3. Problem is on Paragraph Style:
      While under General on the left column I can see under "Indents and Spacing" that my Paragraph Direction is set to "Right to Left", I can't find this definition where is should be, on the left column under "Indents and Spacing". It is missing.

    4. Paragraph Direction should appear under "Indents and Spacing" on the Paragraph Style options.

  16. Disparition du texte curviligne lors de l'enregistrement d'un PDF et lors de la réouverture du fichier Illustrator 27.8.1

    Microsoft Windows 11 (x64 bits), Illustrator 27.8.1

    Les textes curvilignes créés à partir de cercles et stockés dans une couche de texte disparaissent lors de l'export en pdf. Ils sont toujours présents dans l'arborescence des couches qui elles-mêmes sont en statut « visibles » mais les textes en question ne sont plus visibles dans la vue en plan.

    Le texte réapparaît lorsque l'on clique sur l'emplacement du texte curviligne pour l'éditer, le texte se rafraichit et réapparaît.

  17. Inserting a dash followed by a space makes the dash uneditable

    When using the type tool, inserting a dash, spacebar, and then typing makes the dash undeletable. So type: - ohio with Myriad Pro Regular 12pt. the — is not able to be backspaced to remove, it is almost like it is adding a tab spacing. If you create outlines of text then you can select and remove, but text is uneditable at that point.

  18. Text shifts when moving text frames which use Every-line Composer

    As per this thread at forums:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/every-line-composer-bug-text-shifts-when-moving-text-frame/m-p/13992952

    Ai will recalculate justification each time a text frame with Every-line Paragraph Composer is nudged, either with arrow keys or dragging.

    Although it’s clearly just moving, and should not trigger recalculation, Ai does it (I can think only of one case when it should happen — when objects with Text Wrap enabled are present and intersecting the the moved object — and they aren’t and don’t).

    The text wobbles a bit and it's slow, to recalculate this every time.
    Why does it happen? InDesign does not do this.

  19. Type on path tool bug

    After reopening an Illustrator document containing multiple circle paths with type on them the text is no longer on their paths but rather scattered all over and beyond the artboard. Please see the attachments.

    When you try to fix the scattered texts by clicking on the path with the type to path tool it will indicate the text was created in a different version of Illustrator (which is not the case) prompting you to click ok. This will have the text look as it should again. However if you then save and re-open the file the texts will be scattered…

  20. Type on path not converting to outline

    Operating System: OS X Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)
    Version of Illustrator: 27.7

    I have an artwork which includes some type on a path (circle). When I go to send the file to a printer (PDF), I always outline the text as we've had issues in the past. For this artwork I've selected all the content and selected 'Convert to Outline', which has worked fine on all the type except the type on a path elements which just disappeared. I restarted Illustrator, but this didn't solve the problem.

    The Type on a Path was part of a group, so I then…
