An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Woah.
Does not happen for me!
Does it stays like this after you save it and reopen the file? Can you please share this file here? -

This is reported to be fixed in general build 29.7.1
Please test and comment if it really works as expected
An error occurred while saving the comment Martin, what about the actual file generated — is it OK? Rendered correctly?
Does you artwork by any chance have opacity masks or linked/placed images?
Does it happen for this file only or with others or brand new files? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Seems strange to me as well, I meant no sarcasm.
As for the script — well, yes, it just put lines. Scripts are limited with what they can do. If something just is not allowed by Ai (and customized rules are these), scripts won’t be able to introduce a new parameter for a live text. It’s up to Adobe’s engineers to code it... That’s why a script is only a workaround, and your request is very valid.An error occurred while saving the comment I know a paid script exists that allows add lines below and under the text, so this is a workaround you can use at the moment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWAtAoycvGg
The result won’t by dynamic, but it’s easy enough to reapply these when needed.An error occurred while saving the comment Amazingly you are a first person in several years who asked for it here. Sure Ai needs a way to customize it. Voted. If you can share the link to this request in these forums posts you refer to, perhaps this would gain enough weight to get noticed by the team.

An error occurred while saving the comment I see what you mean now, thanks for the clarification!
Am I right thinking you are more about presenting a graph with artistic means, rather than controlling a generation with percentage values for things to be used in it? Since the workflow you describe fits both :)
Interesting. Let’s see if it gets more attention.An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator has a dedicated set of Graph tools (available in the Advanced toolbar you can access with 'Window > Toolbars > Advanced' command).
These are not the most modern tools, and hardly refactored since late 90-s, but these are somewhat useful for the task you have.
Not sure if you are aware of these... If you are — please comment back and elaborate on the changes you want to have.And then there is a larger user request to modernize the toolset you can upvote here: illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/31150012-improve-graph-chart-tool

An error occurred while saving the comment Lottie, Ai allows to disable the auto bullets.
Go to Preferences > Type, and uncheck the 'Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing'
Does it work for you?
Please be warned though, that Ai will resets the option each fresh installation, so make sure it get disabled if you do reinstall. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Actually, this is fair.
When we apply 'All Caps' option in the Character panel, we make them LOOK like caps, while in fact underneath they are written like you show this. It’s like using a text-specific Appearance, a trick, a glamour.
If you copy this text and paste elsewhere — it will we pasted as what it is underneath, not capitalized. So no wonder Spell Check here sees beyond the veil, and I’d expect it to.If you want to make actual capital glyphs out of these, you’d have to go to Type > Change Case and command 'UPPERCASE'. In this case Spell Check will find no problem.
However, this can make sense in some cases, but this should be a conscious choice, an option, disabled by default...
Jeremy, would you mind me turning this into a feature request instead of a bug report?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Another similar request would be to add an option to allow to snap to and by linked art:

An error occurred while saving the comment Another third-party solution available to us is the CADlayers panel, offered by CADtools plugins suite, with layers groups it provides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYdlU1Kvpss
An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile, Astute Graphics just have released AG Comps panel, which is very similar to the one Photoshop has, and works with top-level layers.
An error occurred while saving the comment I am wondering: what do we all mean by 'layers' here?
What is a layer in Illustrator? Do we mean only top layers (and sublayers, which are just nested layers), or anything that is a container (which includes groups and anything 'unfoldable'), or anything at all, including single paths?
1, 2, 3?
Which one?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Ireed, perhaps you will find this script useful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWAtAoycvGg
It seems to do exactly what you need. The result won’t by dynamic, but it’s easy enough to reapply these when needed.An error occurred while saving the comment Unfortunately Illustrator does not allow to apply a second fill for the character range inside of a text object. This’d allowed to apply a second yellow fill underneath letters and the apply Convert to Rectangle effect to get rectangles around glyphs. Still sketchy though, but is true to the appearance paradigm... but it does not work anyway :(

An error occurred while saving the comment In my experiments I was not able to permanently assign an edge color to symbol, it is always picked the same way, based on the current layer’s edges’ color...
Yes, making it possible to somehow fix it makes sense to me. Voted.
An error occurred while saving the comment Ed, I totally get your point. Sometimes edges colors do not go well with the contents of the symbol edited!
But it’s not a random pick. What Ai does is choosing the color two positions after the current layer’s color.
You can see the default order of these colors when you edit a layer’s options. So if you are in the first layer (blue), the color would be green (reserved for the third layer). Editing a symbol in layer 2 (red) would give you medium blue for symbols. Third green layer gives you magenta — you get the idea.This is completely automatic, and Ai does that to signal that you are not in the normal mode anymore (the same happens when we use Global Edit, based on temporary symbols).
However, you can change it once you start editing a symbol.
Just double-click the top item in the Layers object tree (it should have the name of the edited symbol) and change the color in the dialog.
It won’t stick and won’t be the same the next time you edit the same symbol, but it makes sense, since the instance of it can be in any layer.What do you think about it now?
How do you think it can be improved and what should be done to not break the existing workflows users have? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Never heard of or experienced anything like this :(
Do you refer to Export As or Export for Screens / Assets?
How persistent is this? When it happens, does Ai export the same wrong set the next time you try it?
Can you reproduce it in a brand new document with a simplest art in it?
Can you record a small video of it happening, please? -

Please confirm if this bug does not longer happens in the latest versions of Illustrator.
An error occurred while saving the comment That is odd... for me the current artboard gets highlighted in the panel with a bluish stripe when it gets focused on canvas, and vise versa.
Can you please record a short video to show how it works for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment That’s weird...
Did you have anything selected in the document when you captured this screenshot?
Does it happen in all the documents or a specific one? If only some, can you share such a document here (you can remove some things form it if you want to, as long as the problem is reproducible)?
Which version of Ai is this? -

Hi ,
Thanks for reporting the issue, but we are unable to reproduce the issue at our end and would need more information such as the AI build with which the issue started, Wacom device configuration, and OS details of the machine where the issue is observed.
Regards,
Aishwarya G Gadodia

An error occurred while saving the comment Which Wacom pen and tablet model do you use specifically? What is the driver version that you have installed? Is it the latest one?
Does it ever happen if you use other means to pan, or with other scrollbars within Ai?
Does it ever happen in other applications? What about Photoshop or InDesign?
When did it start to happen, if you are able to recall it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment It feels like you accidentally disabled the bounding box, probably with Cmd + Shift + B hotkey.
Try to press it again (while not editing text), or toggle it manually with View > Show Bounding Box command.
Please comment back if it helps.
I confirm that.
While the text object looks fin in Preview mode, observing in it Outline really looks weird — the area is actually smaller than the text and it jumps when moved, like the GIF attached shows.
There is an overflow marker displayed, but clicking it won’t offer to create a threaded type area, like it should do, just nothing happens.
If I carefully remove any number of visible character in the end — the problem stays until overflow is still detected.
If I remove all overflown characters at the end (step by step or using Ctrl + Shift + End to reach the end of it) — the issue vanishes.
