  3. Textrahmen verkettet sich beim Bewegen

    Betriebsystem: macOS Monterey 12.6.3
    Illustrator Version: 27.2

    Mir ist leider noch unklar welche Schritte genau zu dem Problem führen.
    Ich arbeite aktuell in großen Arbeitsflächen.

    Manchmal wenn ich Texte verschieben möchte, lassen diese sich nicht verschieben, sondern verketten sich einfach mit dem obersten rechten Punkt der Arbeitsfläche. Sie lassen sich dann gar nicht mehr verschieben.

    Cmd-Z löst das problem nur kurzweilig - manchmal auch gar nicht. Dann bleibt die Verkettung bestehen, während sich andere vor der Verkettung stattgefundene Schritte Rückgängig machen.
    Wenn ich Illustrator beende und neu starte, ist der Fehler für einige Zeit wieder behoben.

    Eventuelle bestehende Verkettungen kann…

  5. Can't adjust leading with Alt+arrow keys.

    When trying to adjust text leading with ALT + Up/Down arrow keys as usual, it doesn't seem to work. It's inconvenient to adjust leading from the character menu.

    This got solved by checking the 'Size/Leading' value in Preferences > Type. For some reason it got changed. This is not the first time something like this happens, and the reason behind this value getting altered is unknown... so it can’t be marked as 'Resolved'. If you have this problem too — please vote and comment.

  7. Glitch signs introduced by illustrator when opening a plot created by R

    Hi everyone,

    I mainly use Illustrators to manually edit plots/figures created by R (a statistical programming tool). R creates PDFs which can (normally) be opened and edited using Illustrator.

    However, I recently encountered a strange bug. My plots look just fine when I open the PDFs using Acrobat Reader, but they contain glitch signs instead of points when I open them using Illustrator 2023.

    I am attaching a (zoomed in) picture showing these symbols. If anyone can help, that would be very appreciated :).

  9. Converting Text to Outlines no longer creates Simple Ungroupable compound path.

    When converting text to outlines in Illustrator 27.2, the text becomes transparent, contained within a clipping mask, and ungroupable.

    Previously, the text would become a grouped compound path of the same fill color as it was as text. I could easily ungroup it.

    I now have to release the clipping mask, release compound path, and use the shape builder tool to fix the letters with holes in them that are now filled in (letters such as R, B, b, O, o, e, etc...

  12. highlighted selection box not appearing for text

    When I select text, the bounding box appears, but when I select actual letters/words to edit, there is no highlighted/selection box showing me that I am selecting characters and which one. It's like I'm playing a bit of a guessing game: let's see if I actually selected the letters I meant to, fingers crossed!

    The picture attached shows through the character tool module that I've selected two slightly different fonts(same face & size etc, just different weight) but that the text itself doesn't appear to be selected. I've only selected the italicized to the blue text at the bottom of…

  13. Automatic hyphen turns in to different glyph character

    I have a strange phenomenon on my Mac (Ventura 13.0.1): in the example there are three identical texts in 3 different font types (purchased, Adobe and Google). All fonts are available in the font manager program (RightFont) and auto-activation is enabled (the fonts are NOT activated initially).

    I open the Illustrator (27.0.1) file and RightFont reports that missing fonts are available for activation (Illustrator also reports this, but I ignore this message, as RightFont already 'takes care' of it.

    As soon as the fonts are loaded, the purchased and Google fonts have a 'strange' symbol (usually a different kind of…

  14. Text highlighted with Layer color while I'm typing

    Hi!

    Do you have any idea why some of my Text objects stay highlighted with the Layer color while I'm typing (the yellow one in the video), and some don't (the orange one)?

    Cmd-H doesn't change that (the yellow one stays highlighted while I'm typing).

    Is this something in the Preferences, or Object settings, or Layer settings?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I'm on Mac OS 11.4, using Illustrator 27.0.1

    Illustrator converts a hyphen at the start of the line to a bulleted list, unless the 'Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing' option (enabled by default) is not turned off.

    These converted markers can’t be selected, unless you convert the text back with the dedicated button in the Paragraph menu.


    But be warned though, that sometimes disabling the auto-conversion does not work, and hyphen and other characters still force Illustrator to create a list.

  17. Linked Text Boxes DEFORM

    When spreading text over more than one text box, the first one is fine, but any consecutive one deforms so the copy is stretched.

  18. Glyphs in a type on a path are placed wrong, rotate and shift

    Type on a path seems to be glitching. There may be some setting I'm overlooking, but it's certainly never been an issue before my last update. Characters are rotating and randomly spacing along a smooth, curved path, as if there were sharp turns in the path.

    Also, if I'm using type-along-a-path and then scale the objects with the text still live, the text will often glitch and then even if I undo the scale, it remains glitched.

  19. Font weights have disappeared from existing document in 27.0

    I opened an existing document, which used Quicksand in various weights. Now, with it opened via Illustrator 2023, all the weights have become one weight, ie light. There is nothing wrong with the Font, I am also using it in Indesign all the time, and it's working fine there. Please see screengrab, showing the PDF on the left (what it should look like) and Illustrator file on the right. The alert box only came up when I clicked on a text box, ie it wasn't there when i opened the document initially. Please help, this is a multi page document…

    Toni, for some reason you have All Caps option enabled in the Character panel for this particular text selection (or rather the whole type on path object).

    Once disabled, Ai stops to force the capitalization for it, and the result of Change Case commands start to be visible.


    I agree though it can be tough to discover.

    If anyone else happen to have this exact problem — please add your votes, so the team can get data on reviewing this in the future.
