I like this idea, it'd be a handy addition for newer users unfamiliar with the keyboard shortcut (x key)
In addition to this, 'swap fill for stroke' toggle, how about a 'use current fill color as stroke color' and 'use current stroke color as fill color' toggles along with associated keyboard shortcuts?

I have definitely seen this before. I'm not sure it's an illustrator bug though, on my system it usually occurs with older fonts or badly made/free fonts.
Voted though, since it seems like it should be easy to include some sort of 'when creating outlines, make this text a compound shape' function

If that particular font within the family is supposed to be slightly smaller and inset or nest within the larger when set to the same font size (as you demonstrated at left with EM size) I would say the cap height for that font isn't defined correctly within the font itself, or that the font's intended insetting/nesting doesn't function with cap height sizing.

@Rob: I agree entirely with your comment and the original post's request. It'd sure be nice if Illustrator could see the OCG's and re-interpret them as its own layers somehow. I'm not sure how they'd handle objects that are assigned to more than one OCG though. How does Affinity Designer handle that? I don't have it here at my workplace to test on, unfortunately.

For those of you commenting below:
Z-order / stacking order layers CANNOT be saved from authoring software into a PDF. All you can do is save PDF "layers", which are not z-order/stacking order layers but are instead known as "optional content groups", OCG's.
A single path object can be in multiple OCG's, while another may only be in one (and that one may be one that the first object was also located in as well) The OCG's visibility can be switched on and off with software capable of seeing them, such as the paid version of Acrobat, and various professional preflighting programs.
Illustrator does not see OCG's. In reality, illustrator should never be used to open and edit a PDF, though I do understand sometimes there is no other choice.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.3.1 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!

Unfortunately the Illustrator software engineering team seems to be convinced their existing code is correct for all installations and hardware. I have attempted to inform them otherwise via a couple other bug reports like this one but all they can say is that it works correctly (when it can clearly be demonstrated not to work correctly some of the time, depending on the monitor in use)

@Neeraj:
Not true in all cases. Display print size at 100% Zoom on my display here at my workplace renders a 1" x 1" square as 1.125" x 1.125". This is verifiable by placing a ruler against the screen.
Before my employer graciously "upgraded" me to a larger but objectively worse display, this did actually work correctly.
I urge you to take another look at this, or give us a user-configurable pixel density setting in the preferences. Photoshop does this and thus I can adjust to whatever display I might be currently using.

Still broken in latest release, 24.2.
1. Set "Display print size at 100% zoom" to be ON
2. Create 5x5 inch document
3. ctrl + 1 to zoom to print size
4. measure artboard with an actual ruler held to the screen - 5x5 artboard is displayed as 5.75 x 5.75 inches.Edit: the other setting, "Display at print size" to be OFF does seem to work as intended, for viewing pixel based art at 1-to-1 when zooming to 100% (ctrrl+1).
Why can't both settings work correctly, why does it have to be one or the other? Or is Adobe assuming that the pixel density of all monitors is universal? Surely they can't be that dumb.

I'm glad the web designers got their fix. Now could you make the "Display print size at 100% zoom" part work properly?
An inch should display as an inch, not as 1.125 inches.

Here's the ai file as it downloads for me as a PDF. It appears to display properly.

I'd like to take a look at this but the uploaded ai file downloads as a PDF. This PDF does show the highlighted incorrect part as being in its proper place though, even in Acrobat.
@kp: since the current user interface is lacking this function on the swatches panel, you can always use the keyboard shortcut. Pressing the X key on your keyboard will swap the stroke and fill color.
I find this saves me from mousing over to the tool bar to do it, but I also don't have my cursor in/around the swatches panel very often either (my work is less art-creation and more pre-press/production).
