  2. Text box can no longer be colored

    Mac, v10.14.6
    Illustrator 24.0.1

    When I select a text box, I can no longer assign a color to the box, only to the copy inside the box.

  3. Type tool not working properly

    Running Windows 10 and Ai version 24.0.2
    Trying to hit a return between words in a text sentence, neither the backspace or delete or enter work. No it's not a keyboard issue, since it works with any other program without a problem. This bug is also happening to several machines in the work place consistently. We need to close the whole application so it responds to this text command issue, but after having the document open for a little time it does it again.
    I expect to be able to edit my text... this is a big one...

  4. Ctrl+D

    1. My OS is win7 Professional service pack 1
    2. When i want to Duplicate a shape he short cut Ctrl+D won't apply, when they do work they undo which is not what i want.
    3. I was expecting the function to duplicate the shape, but it didn't.
    4. it either it undo or just won't do anything

    Ctrl + D in Illustrator does not duplicate. There is no such a command, unfortunately. Instead this hotkey does another useful operation by default, it repeats the last applied transformation again — like if you move something to the right, you can move it (or any other shape) again, with the same distance.

    However, I agree that Duplicate command is something Ai might benefit from. Hitting Ctrl+C, Ctrl+F is still twice longer than one hotkey, and is nowhere instant, So please vote here for having it:

  5. [Bug] Area text with Auto-size and stroke applied

    1:
    Version: CC18 (22.0.0) 64bit Windows 7

    2:

    a) Draw out area text box using type tool and type a few words
    b) Double click to convert to auto-size (or set check mark in Area Type Options)
    c) Area type options > Offset - Inset spacing: any value other than 0 - note: this step is not required to recreate the bug I've included as the stroke below would look odd without it.
    d) Using Direct Selection Tool (white arrow) select an anchor point from the area type box
    e) Apply a stroke of any size
    f) Using the Selection…

  6. typing fi or fl delivers an empty or filled arrow rather than the letters

    probably a user error but above my pay grade

  7. english text converts to chinese after using space bar

    When I type english text in a text box, it gets converted to chinese characters whenever I use the space bar.

    Illustrator 21.0.0

    Steps:
    1. Draw a text box
    2. type a word and press space bar
    3. attached screenshot is what I get after step 2.
    4. I expect a space to be added instead of having my text converted to another language.

    Hi,

    It seems to be the IME behavior, therefore we are closing this ticket as of now.

    Thanks.
