All,
We have rolled out a version (1.1) today which has fixes for this issue.
Please have your iPads updated with latest version from App Store and let us know if you are still running into this issue.

@Egor: inverting the color beneath the highlighted edges/handles is a very interesting idea. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that before, I use that cursor option in Windows.

Glad you found my suggestions helpful. I'm going to vote for this anyway because I think some sort of accessibility features for colorblind folks would be a welcome addition one way or another.

In addition to changing the handle size, have you tried changing the handles to the white/gray fill instead of the solid color? In Preferences under Selection & Anchor Display > Handle Style. Unfortunately that only changes the handles not the anchors.
Something else that might help: Have you tried selecting a pre-existing layer color from the built in list, or creating a custom one? Double-click in the blank space to the right of the layer name (or use the layers pallet menu > options for "layerName". It'll give you a small dialog with options including the color list. At the top of that drop down list is "Custom..." which lets you choose any color you would like. That'll set the layer's color and subsequently the selected object's highlighted edges, handles, anchors etc. to something that would be easier for you to see.
I use this pretty often when the default selected by illustrator is a poor contrast to the art I'm working on. I can usually find something in the list that works but it sounds like you'd get more use out of choosing custom colors.

You're welcome :)

Based only on your example images, it appears your un-closed path has been given a gradient fill (second image) whereas it had a white fill in the first image. You can see that it's set that way by looking at the fill and stroke preview icons. In image1, the fill color square is set to white and the stroke color is set to a gradient.
You can test this by holding shift and pressing the X key, that will swap the fill and stroke color settings of the selected object.
Pressing the "/" key will remove either the stroke or fill color of the selected object (setting the color to "none"), depending on whether you have the fill or stroke selected in the preview. Swap them by pressing the X key or clicking on the opposite one to the current one on the preview. (the "current" one is the one displayed "in front of" the other on the preview)
If you remove the fill the extra gradient will disappear.

Illustrator Beta now offers a dedicated Objects on Path construct to allow some basic distribution operations for selected objects and a chosen path. So far it allows uniform distribution only, global rotation and global pivot control, widget to control these on canvas, attaching and detaching (including isolation operations).
This is not an extension of Type on Path, but a separate type of object. The text can be used with it, but will be treated as a separate object, not per-character.
I assume some would be happy to have it and get it improved later. Pasting an object into a text, however, is still a needed thing, and is a different request — Inline Graphics / Anchor Object to text ability (like InDesign) — please upvote it if you find it useful.
As for this new object type — kindly try in Illustrator Beta and provide your feedback, so the team…

@Egor: I'll look it up, thanks for the suggestion. I'd heard of it before but somehow never got around to looking into it.

I thought I had a suggestion for you using the actions panel:
select > all in artboard
select > inverse
deletebut as it turns out, it won't work with more than one artboard - the command in the select menu is "all on active artboard" but in my action is recorded as "select all in artboard". So, art on the currently active artboard is selected, not "any art on any artboard".
voting for this as it seems like it would be very useful.

@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).

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?

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,

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.

Same issue. I noticed the 'wont recognize key object' bug pretty much as soon as I started using the latest CC2019 update but the input box bug wasn't noticed until quite a while later. Mine seems to default to points; input "10" and the items distribute with 10 points spacing between them rather than 10in as I have set via my preferences.
I did also notice it occasionally seeming to fix itself but never was able to narrow down how/why. The save-as causing it to self-correct is something I'll keep an eye on.

I noticed that the document color is CMYK, but is not tagged with a profile. I couldn't find a way to assign a profile either.
