1. Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list

   This is a 2 part issue:

   1. If I select all and outline the type the document doesn't outline anything that is in a transparency mask. This is a major flaw that needs to be resolved as has lead to mistakes being printed with default text.
      Select all and outline needs to either include everything within transparency masks or a new command to outline text within these masks needs to be created as a separate option.

   2. A huge worry is I released work last week where I believed everything in the transparency masks had been correctly outlined by individually going in to the mask and outlining type.
      When the printer opened the file, it said it still had live type, however, when I opened the file and checked the find/replace fonts panel, even thought there was live text still within a transparency layer that I had missed, the document said there were no live fonts, see attached image!

2. Add Discretionary Line Break

   Each time I need to insert a discretionary line break in Illustrator, I forget there is none. I go through menus, hoping to finally see it, but nope, it’s something InDesign has only.

   Please make one.

3. Threaded text area box disappears after saving

   MacOS Ventura 13.7
   Illustrator 28.6 and newer

   When I convert a document to curves, save a copy, and then press Undo so I can have the text boxes editable again. As soon as I press Save after doing this, the second text frame in a thumbnail in Finder vanishes, while still existing in the document.

   Under Review  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   According to the team, this is expected to be fixed in the upcoming November Beta and Prerelease builds. Once it’s verified to be fixed, it will get pushed into the next main build.

4. Opacity for list objects (bulleted or numbered) lost after closing a file

   When you reduce the opacity of a text object that contains a list - either just a list or a list plus "normal" text, that opacity gets deleted once you have saved the file. It's not even saved into the PDF part of the file.
   If you apply the opacity at the Character level or if you create an additional fill for the text object and then apply reduced opacity, it works.

   Version 28.3
   MacOS Monterey 12.7.1

5. Variable Fonts with a Width axis don’t work in Illustrator unless the "space" glyph changes width

   Operating system:
   macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81)

   The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
   Adobe Illustrator 2024 (28.2)

   The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
   I created a variable font with a width axis. The font works well in environments like web browsers, but the variable axis slider has no effect in Illustrator. This also affects variable fonts with a Width axis and other axes – none of the shaping changes of any axes are rendered in Illustrator.

   After some debugging and experimentation, I finally learned that the "space" glyph must change in its character width, and only then will Illustrator actually apply variable shaping changes.

   This is a problem for at least three reasons:
   1. Variable fonts are a useful way to prototype logos or wordmarks, and in such fonts, designers may not think to adjust the "space" glyph for width changes, because the character isn’t relevant to a logo design.
   2. Designers often prototype fonts with a few glyphs, and want to test results early in Illustrator. If they haven’t adjusted the "space" glyph yet, the font will appear to be broken, when it is in fact an Illustrator bug.
   3. It should be possible to make a variable font with a Width axis which affects some glyphs, but not necessarily the "space" glyph. It would be unusual, but it there is no reason it shouldn’t be a possibility.

   I’m happy to share test font files, but this forum doesn’t allow me to upload .ttf or .zip files.

   Your expected result and the actual result:
   • I expect variable axes to have an effect in variable fonts in Illustrator, especially when those fonts work elsewhere.
   • Illustrator doesn’t apply variable axis changes if the "space" glyph doesn’t change along the Width axis, if the Width axis is included.

   Upload your Illustrator file or a video (screen recording or gif, this helps us most to reproduce the issue and resolve it)

7. SVG import: font-weight and font-style not always applied to tspan elements

   font-weight and font-style not always applied to tspan elements

   Use the following steps to reproduce the issue:
   1. download attached AIbugreport.txt file
   2. replace .txt with.svg (unable to load an SVG file)
   3. import the file to Adobe Illustrator
   4. open this file in Google Chrome (or any other browser) to visually see the difference

   Actuall result: Google Chrome: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic. Adobe Illustrator: Styles are not applied to these words.

   Expected result: Google Chrome: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic. Adobe Illustrator: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic

8. URGENT: Enter key does not work in any Type Tools Illustrator Beta 26.6.555

   Adobe Tech Support was unable to resolve.

   This was not a problem in the prior release of 26.6 before .555

   When using the type tool in any form, horizontal, vertical, etc., the enter key no longer inserts either a [CR] or [CR LF].

   This is inconvenient for working with headlines or titling (attached graphic), but an absolute dealbreaker for working with long text.

9. ÿ (ydieresis) Uppercase and lowercase are inverted

   Hello,
   the character ÿ (y with a dieresis) has an issue in Illustrator (I have the french version) when I change the case using the Font menu, it does the opposite. Turning Ÿ to Capital will change it to lowercase, turning Ÿ to lowercase won't change it (the .mov video is more clear)
   regards,
   –Nico

11. 文字組みアキ量設定や禁則処理設定を含む文字列ペースト結果が不安定

    Windows 10/11の、Illustrator Ver.25.4および26.0.2で起きる不具合です。

    1. 文字組みアキ量設定、禁則処理設定を任意で作成する
    2. それらを適用した文字列を作成する（片方だけでも構わない）
    3. 該当文字列をコピーする
    4. 新規ファイルなどにペーストする

    この場合、文字組みアキ量設定や禁則処理設定はペーストしたファイルと文字列にそのまま反映されるはずですが、反映されず、ペースト先に用意されているプリセットの設定が反映される、または設定「なし」としてペーストされます。
    何度かペーストすると反映される場合がありますが、ペースト時の挙動が不安定としての不具合にナｒいます。

12. Optical kerning changes when opening AI file in Illustrator 2021

    Opened an AI file created April 2021 (using Optical kerning) to make changes. Kerning looks ok when I first open the file, but when I click on the text, the kerning changes significantly.
    The font used is Georgia. Mac OS 10.15.7. Illustrator 2021 25.3.1. I had to open the file in Illustrator 2020 and copy the kerning values between the letters. I then opened the file in Illustrator 2021, changed from Optical to Metric and entered the kerning values from the Illustrator 2020 file.

13. Incorrect display of Bangla (Bengali) sequence র‍্য

    This sequence, which is described in detail in the Unicode Standard, involves a zero-width joiner character that should force display of the final form of the last letter. This works correctly in InDesign and Photoshop, but not in Illustrator. Please see https://twitter.com/TiroTypeworks/status/1354160819865493505?s=20 for more details.

14. Unwanted horizontal text scaling

    Illustrator will apply horizontal scaling to text when I am working on different part of the document. This even happens to text that is on a hidden layer. So far I have failed to "catch Illustrator in the act" so can't say what leads up to it happening. I just look at the text and it is magically scaled! Bah!

15. eyedropper leading 0.1

    I have noticed that, in the last few updates to Illustrator, if I copy the type attributes from one text box to another using the eyedropper tool that the leading amount does not get copied. Instead, it gets set to 0.1 -- which really negates the utility of coping type attributes through the eyedropper.

16. Emoji Baseline issues

    Using macOS Big Sur with Illustrator 25.0.1

    Anytime I use emojis on Illustrator, a portion of the emoji below the baseline gets cut off. When I zoom out, it looks normal again. I haven't had this issue before. Even on export, a chunk at the bottom of the emoji still gets cut off.

    ^ That page states you can select text, and click the new paragraph or character style button to create a new style that uses the selected text as a base. This does not work at all, it just creates a new style with Myriad and default settings.

19. Layers are messed up, live text broken up

    File was last edited on Dec 23, 2019 - saved in illustrator 2020 .ai and .pdf formats. There were grouped layers, and live text layers.

    When I opened it today, my layer groups are all gone, and my live text has been broken up into separate layers (some mid-word).

20. Text copied from Illustrator and pasted into Word, Keynote and other editors appears as image and not editable text

    Illustrator CC 22.1.
    Mack book pro MacOS high Sierra Version10.13.6.
    Microsoft Word Version16.23 (190309)

    Copy text from illustrator (Command C) and paste it into Word (Command V) using shortcuts on keyboard the text does not come in to word as editable text but as a picture that I cannot edit.

    I copy text from illustrator and past it into Word for editing and then past it back into Illustrator when I am done with the word editing. I do this for technical drawings, sketchbooks and any other 2D design and presentation work.
    Since 2011 until 2018 I was able to use my keyboard shortcuts to copy text from Illustrator and paste it into Word for editing and refining. This is a proses I do numerus times a day (sometimes hundreds) as this is part of my main workload. Like I said this used to work fine for many years. Since 2018 I have not been able to paste text into Word using the Command V shortcut. Since then the text gets pasted into Word as a picture that I cannot edit.
    I know it is possible to past the text into word by using the “paste” drop down menu and select Keep text only, but this is cumbersome and disrupts my workflow. I would like to use the keyboard shortcut (Command V) to past into word.
    Copying from word and pasting it back to Illustrator is no problem.

    Idea: make it possible to use shortcuts on keyboard to paste into word and it pastes as editable tex (Like I was Able to do before for many years)

    If you right click in word you should get a paste as text option.
    Can you please contact Microsoft support. Like most applications we do promise text in clipboard along with other formats like svg, metafile etc…
    It is for word to pick any of these clipboard formats and consume.
