Whenever I apply a text style from my library, it also changes the color of the text to black, which is undesired. It only behaves this way in Illustrator, not in Photoshop, leading me to thing the behavior is unintended. The desired behavior would actually be to store that character style with all properties on a body of text (color, opacity, font, tracking - even effects such as drop shadows, etc.) when the library entry is created... or just the properties in the character panel - which I'm guessing is the intended behavior. Why not just use text object library entries you ask? Because they don't work cross-software. I can't drag a text object created in AI into PS, and creating text object library entries in PS creates large, many megabyte graphics. Any help suppressing the color change in AI would be appreciated! [EDIT] After playing around with this a bit more, it seems that the text style does store color, but for some reason, certain white text fields of text were being stored as black. Can anyone confirm that this is the actual behavior? [EDIT 2] Playing with this even more the behavior is more perplexing. If your captured type style has a color associated with, the library style will display that color as an overlay swatch, but applying that same style to text field, doesn't change the color to the stored value. [EDIT 3] It seems that many settings in the stored character style are not properly applied in Illustrator. if you capture the settings out of Photoshop, it seems to work, correctly applying color, tracking, all caps. As far as I can tell, the bug rears itself only when a character, stored within an Illustrator doc is then reapplied to an object within that same Illustrator doc. Suffice to say it's doing weird and unpredictable stuff.
