I've had this before and managed to fix it, but I can't remember how (old age). Anyway, the issue has just returned, and I've worked out a workaround. I make small edits on up to hundreds of files daily, so I always save files using an action as it suppresses all the time-wasting dialogue boxes, saving me hours daily. The 'do you want to save' loop destroys my productivity. The workaround is a little script suppressing the unsaved-state flag just before the close command.
Open a text file. Insert:
// turn edited flag off
activeDocument.saved = true;Save the file as "noSaveDialogue.jsx" and put it in Illustrator's script folder (for me C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2024\Presets\en_GB\Scripts).
Now in my save and close action, after my "save" and immediately before "close" I make a menu item call to the script (File > Scripts > noSaveDialoge), and the file closes properly.

I work on thousands of Illustrator files, often just proofing or looking for errors. The addition of the spellchecker was great for speeding up my visual scan of the files, but...
It works as it should in area text, but if there is point text with forced line breaks, every word at the beginning of a line which is not capitalised gets flagged as an error which defeats my quick visual scan.
I've had to write an action to select all text, convert it to area text, and then remove paragraph breaks so that I can see the spelling mistakes and typos. The downside of this action is that if there are legitimate paragraph breaks, I lose them too.
It would be useful to have a "don't check capitalisation" toggle, even if you spell it with a 'z'.

Upvote. For someone doing technical illustration, flagging a capital after a line break makes the spell checker unusable.

Dan, if the issue is big enough it's still worth trying; they broke the way PNGs displayed in Bridge which was huge for my workflow and with 6 months of nagging I (we) managed to get them to (a) acknowledge they were at fault, and (b) fix it. The XMP metadata issue has only just come to light for me and it's more inconvenient than deal-breaking. I'm with you though, it's hard to get through these days - last millennium I used to chat on the phone almost daily with the Acrobat developers when I was developing an e-publishing workflow. Those were the days...

This ^, please! In my world, I open and close hundreds of Illustrator documents daily - I write actions for anything repetitive but these dialogues get in the way of so much automation for efficiency and my crippling RSI (there, it's an accessibility issue now!)
Just give us a toggle on/off with a big fat warning sign against it.

I always use a "save and close" action to save time suppessing all the pointless dialogue boxes to "OK". The "do you want to save" spiral of doom breaks this productivity.
The workaround is a little script suppressing the unsaved-state flag (the * in the file name) just before the close command.
Open a text file and insert:
// turn edited flag off
activeDocument.saved = true;
Save the file as "noSaveDialogue.jsx" and put it in Illustrator's script folder (Windows in 2024 - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2024\Presets\en_GB\Scripts).
Now in my "save and close" action, after my "save" and immediately before "close" I insert a menu item call to the script (File > Scripts > noSaveDialoge), and the file closes properly.
