An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, I had something like this, but mostly with live text, justified, using threads and Every-line composer... But I see the text is outlined here.

An error occurred while saving the comment Dan, does it happen today?
Look like a GPU precision bug (similar to this one: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/42831852) -
Text doesn’t get refreshed / updated automatically when changed with GPU preview

How large is the text? Are you aware of hinting?
Can you share a test file for the team to review it?AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Jonathan, does it help if you toggle CPU/CPU?
An error occurred while saving the comment Stephanie, does this still happen for new on new releases?
If yes — can you share a packaged file that have issues like this? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Chris, open the 'opacity mask_CMYK' one...
Zoom into the corner in the center and hide the supplementary object. Do you see the gradient doesn’t end abruptly, but actually blends?So go into the mask, select the path with the gradient, select the black stop, open the Color panel, and change the rich black this has into pure CMYK 0-0-0-100. Instead of pushing all the four channels into super dense mask, use one only.
For me it makes it work as expected. Does it for you?You should not use rich black (converted from the RGB black) in CMYK docs that cautiously. Sure, when copying artwork from an RGB doc into a CMYK one, Ai won’t allow a simple way to convert one black into another and opacity masks are closed-off boxes (even Ai’s own commands have no control over these en masse). Recolor dialog won’t know about blacks inside, when stuff selected outside.. Global swatches for the rescue!
An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting. I use strokes across path in opacity mask in every third project (I mean it), but I never had a clipping like this.
Chris, can you please share this test file? I try to make it happen and it works OK.
Are you on 30.3? Same in Beta? Same in both RGB and CMYK docs? Same on CPU Preview? (what is your GPU?) -

An error occurred while saving the comment That’s Ai being more respectful to typography, treating text as text and not just rendered glyphs.
This area below text is the descender area. So if you add some letters that has descenders (like y, p, j, g, q, or in other languages: щ, д, ӷ, ԯ, ŋ...) — the bounding box won’t magically increase the height.
Illustrator comes from the era when knowing this would matter and help to work with text efficiently, respecting the habits forged with metal typesetting, by people who invented digital type, for users who are familiar with the nature of type.Times changed, rules changed, intentions are now more diverse... Modern apps (who can afford not respecting traditions) just ignore the descender (and ascender too) area and make it always hug the glyphs tightly. Rude but sometimes effective :)
I agree — being a professional tool, Ai should allow us (all of us, with various levels) to choose if we want the bounding box to hug text tightly (as if outlined), or according their actual M-boxes.In recent years some changes toward this were made in Illustrator as well (sure they did, they made Font Height Options)
So, Align panel now allows us to choose if we want to align to the bounding box or the glyph outlines, like the screenshot shows.
It’s only half of the solution, and it’s rather hidden, and in won’t change the bounding box visually, but it's there to solve the alignment.An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator is the only editor that still draws the bounding box not by the dimensions of the actual glyphs, but by their em boxes.
CorelDraw, Affinity Designer, Xara, Inkscape, Photoshop... all draw the bounding box tightly hugged (InDesign drops out a bit because it doesn't have out-of-frame text).
Illustrator tried 4 years ago to make modes for text alignment, as stated below, but it came out non-obvious and hardly convenient. A partial solution. There are hacks, but they are, well, stupid.
We need to get it addressed.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment You mean this?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xw40w426142evjs/text_bbox.gif
Well, AI does it right then. See, letters have descenders:
https://www.designersinsights.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Anatomy-of-Typography.png
AI selects text based box around all elements of the text.
Still, it doesn't mean that it can't be made that it will select text only when you click in actual glyphs, but I expect it would take more power to calculate. This also means that you will have gaps in text where you can click and not select anything, if gap is larger than selection tolerance.
Well, you can ask for omitting ascenders and descenders for lower-case (and remember which glyph is uppercase too), but I afraid it will still confuse people.
I'll vote for this, but it will make a lot of tests and precautions to make it right. -

This problem is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta Build 30.5.0.18. You can update and test if it’s truly gone.
However, please not there are some known issues with this particular build:
- Opening recent files from Home Screen Recent section is not working (opening recent files from File > Open Recent Files works fine).
- Generative Expand does not open its own HUD when used after Generate Vector, Generative Shape Fill, or Sketch to Vector. Instead, the previous tool's HUD is displayed and Generative Expand remains inaccessible. Workaround: Ungroup the generative content first, then apply Generative Expand.
- Half of Astute Graphics plugins can’t get loaded. Both teams are now aware of the problem.
An error occurred while saving the comment Same problem. It started happening several versions ago — tabs no longer activate and open when I hover over them with the dragged artwork. Sometimes it helps to drop onto the tab, but I can’t tell when it would work.
In Photoshop there’s no problem.An error occurred while saving the comment Yes! Thanks for the report, it means it’s not just me seeing this!

An error occurred while saving the comment Will, does it happen in any file? can you reproduce this problem in a new document?
Does anything change if you toggle CPU Preview (not sure though if thumbnails in Layers depend on this...)?I recall there were similar problems, but bound to some specific conditions...
When I test this now, it works as it should (I do this on Windows 10 though). Maybe it’s a specific appearance only, or a type of an object? Please help to narrow it down. -

An error occurred while saving the comment So you’d like something to help you balancing the visual weights? Like for a press wall, when you get several dozen of logos and you need to make them look equal?
As I see i, this is a complex task that deeply involves our perception, the optical illusions we get, cognitive traps... the objects themselves can be perceived differently, if we add more details, or change color, or make the outline jagged... I can image an AI-tech that is trained to balance these, based on many lessons from real humans, but not sure if it can be a bulletproof algorithmic solution.Or did you mean something else?

Does it look the same when you are switching into CPU Preview mode? What GPU are you using? Please tell more about your system specs. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Same exact behavior
An error occurred while saving the comment Can reproduce this, also in the Beta...
I think the team has decided we need to see the object better when we adjust the color, with no distraction... but how can we control it, and why normal (non-compund) paths aren’t affected? or it can be a bug, sure.
Either way, it’s my guess only for now.An error occurred while saving the comment Does it get disabled (and can be then enabled back with the View > Show Bounding Box command), or does it vanish completely?
Same in GPU / CPU Preview modes?
Do you get it rendered back when you select other compound paths? Other objects?
If you have Beta — does it behave like this in the Beta as well? -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are ways to program something like this already, both on Mac and Windows... but with external tools, like Keyboard Maestro, Hammerspoon, Autohotkey. But Ai could definitely do better from the box. Some changes were planned, but not as large as this one, and I don’t have any info on when exactly...

An error occurred while saving the comment Sad to hear it... Am I right thinking the same test files you shared with the team still can be used to make this happen? After resaving them? As well as other new docs?
An error occurred while saving the comment When I try to open the document (the PDF one, not the original .ai — it’s missing, sadly), I have no problems with the images...
Please send the original .ai to sharewithai@adobe.com directly, to avoid UV’s spam robot, and mention the link to this report so they can track it back here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50671049An error occurred while saving the comment It’s OK, I restored the comments. UV decided to treat them as spam for any odd reasons it has, sorry for this.
An error occurred while saving the comment The discussion doesn’t mention using networks, but I assume the corrupted images look similarly.
When you say 'vanish' — do you mean the way these look? You don’t mean these actually vanish from the document as objects, right?
When this happens, does fiddling with GPU and making a local copy of the file restore the way these look? Do you need to restart Ai to achieve this?The only thing I personally can do is to help you to gather as much details as possible to help the team to investigate this — this is what I'm trying to do :) I work with files in a local network as well, but this bug never happened with me or my colleagues (if it did, it’d be good! ...in a weird sense)
An error occurred while saving the comment A newer report was made: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50671049

https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/33341182
It asks for specific steps to perform if this happens — please try to follow the instruction.
Won’t merge this into it, since the last activity there was reasonably long time ago, but would will watch it.Do you embed these images manually, or do you check Include Linked File option when setting options on Save?
Do you save the file locally or via network or in a cloud?

Rahim, do you still have it happening today, with more recent version of Illustrator?
If yes — can you please share a test file and attach some screenshots?
I have my guesses why you apply Outline Object effect in general (I do the same occasionally too) — but why exactly?
