And it’s now in Beta 28.1.0.100 and you can try it and see if it works as expected. This really feels like a fixed bug, something we all should have had from the day inside/outside strokes got introduced.
Please, give it a go and comment back!

This is obviously not fixed and requires further inspection.

I just ran into 'deletion of character styles is undoable' and it is such an annoying little quirk. Please fix this.

I'm working on a commission for a client who has this type of color blindness and it would be really, really nice to be able to make sure it works for her.

It's 2023 and we still can't save a freeform gradient as a swatch. I see the ability to save them as a Graphic Style did appear somewhere in the intervening years so maybe I'll actually start using the **** things now. Except you only appear to be able to apply these styles to *some* shapes, it's not working on text or stars or compound shapes.
Yet another feature that someone got a promotion for and left half-unfinished. God at this point the main thing I get out of Adobe is "updating the host for Astute's plugins to work on the latest OS".

I originally posted this to the old bug report form, back around 2016. I thought this was funny and posted it to my blog, as well.
Today I was reminded that this low-key annoyance is still happening, and that other people find it kind of annoying too. So I posted it here. Maybe this low-key annoyance can finally gather enough "yeah, me too"s to make it worth someone bothering to add a switch for this, seven years after this unwanted toad started hanging out in the bottom of our collective toolboxes.

or maybe "reverse order" in the layers panel's menu should work on objects I've selected in the preview, instead of requiring me to open up the layer, find them in there, and select them again? ah, illustrator.

Here's a horrible kludge that I currently do.
1. Save.
2. object>blend>make
3. object>blend>reverse front to back
4. object>blend>releaseSaving is not mandatory but strongly suggested, especially if you are reversing some paths with complex appearances - Blend might decide to make a ton more paths and bring Illustrator to its knees, and it's nice to be able to force quit Illustrator in that case and do it manually. This all fits into an action, and is definitely worth taking up of my precious f-key slots.
I sure would love to just do object>arrange>reverse stacking order though. This request just got my vote. :)

I would swear shift-clicking does this with the pen but it does not. Huh. I wonder when that stopped working, or if I am hallucinating that it ever did.
Workaround for pen: click elsewhere, hold down the button, use space to activate drag mode and position the point on top of the point you want to align with, but don't want to connect to.
Personally I find the pencil tool's auto-close to be aggressively useless. It would be much more useful to me if it looked at the *angle* of the beginning and end of the path, and only connected them if they matched. With the current implementation it auto-closes a ton of stuff that I have no need for it to close. I skipped the version where pencil auto-close was introduced without yet having a "don't autoclose" switch, it completely ruined my pencil-focused workflow.

I still want a hotkey for this. And an entry in the list of things you can record an action for. And a button sure would be nice in both places, too.
Mostly I just want a hotkey because I do this ALL THE TIME.

I still really want this. I'm still really tired of having to hit the tiny button to bring up the Appearance panel's menu, then navigate to the 'redefine graphic style' menu item.
If this is a one-engineer-and-a-couple-afternoons project, I will thank you for doing this in the form of art, should you want something drawn for you. Seriously I do this all the **** time in my workflow and I would love to assign a keystroke to it.

Here is a one-click workaround:
1. Make a document containing nothing but a path with your desired brush assigned to it. Save it.
2. Open a new file.
3. Start recording an action.
4. file>open the document made in step 1, do *not* use file>open recent files as this will get recorded as a "place" action placing some unrelated file
5. select all, copy, close, paste
6. stop recording the action
7. make a new document and run the action again to make sure it's working
8. quit Illustrator to make it save your new action, unless you want to risk making it again after Illustrator crashes before the next time you manually quitYou might also want to record "new layer" before opening the brush document in step 4, otherwise the action might abort when it tries to paste into a document with no unlocked layers.

I cannot upvote this enough, I have basically moved away from ever touching individual curve handles whenever possible because it is SO. *******. PAINFUL. now. I, too, have a workflow that is the antithesis of what works for smart guides.
Basically now whenever I try to move a curve handle I misclick, swear, try to select the object again, misclick, swear, and hit my hotkey for Astute's InkScribe tool, which ACTUALLY GRABS THE ******* CURVE HANDLES instead of requiring me to click on the absolute center point of the curve handle with my drawing stylus, regardless of what selection tolerance and anchor point size are set to.
(This is not a Windows-only bug either, I only use Macs and this has been driving me up the ******* wall for the past several years.)

I think it *used* to actually save this. Maybe on a per-document basis. And you could fix this by editing your New Document Profiles to have your desired layer panel options.
Then this stopped. Layer panel settings are still on a per-file basis but if that's being saved, it's ignored when you load in a file; the options are always reset to the way they are in the attached screenshot.
This was long before the Uservoice site existed, bug reports and feature requests were just a form on Adobe's site, so there's no old bigs ******** about this change in here. It's been a low-level annoyance for years and I finally got reminded it exists and came here to grumble about it.

Hi,
Based on the information provided by Margaret in the last comment, the issue is not specific to Illustrator but related to Astute's Dynamic Sketch tool. Thus closing the issue for now.
Warm regards,

Hmmm!
I am trying to reproduce this and I can only reproduce this with variable-width strokes drawn with Astute's Dynamic Sketch tool, which can turn pressure data into width data. Guess it's their bug, I will pass it on to them!

This still does not work for paths that have an art brush.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.3.1 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

I just started getting this on 26.4.1.
Blowing a half an hour digging on this traced it to something completely not involving any text at all. It is reliably showing up when I place a path drawn with a certain pattern brush into a *distortion mesh* and distort it. If I use a different pattern brush it doesn't appear. Very strange.
No replication file to offer, unfortunately - I can't get the path displaying this weird behavior isolated into a single file, and now it's stopped happening.
Man this is gonna be a **** of a bug to track down.
