XD 34 : Document Assets / Character Styles doesn't work after latest update

I've just updated my Adobe XD (34.0.12.33) on Mac OS Cataline (10.15.7).

Now the majority of the Character Styles don't work. They all worked fine yesterday and have done for the last week working on this project. But now after the update, if I highlight text on the Artboard and click through the Character Styles only certain ones change.

For example I have the same Font/Weight but in several sizes (72, 60, 48, 36, 30, 24, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11) ...only 2 (30 + 60) actually change anything!

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi All,

Thankyou for your patience. It looks like the bug is fixed in XD 36.0 version. Could you please check and confirm if you're still experiencing the issue? If yes, then I would request you to please continue using the workaround- "If you are using a character style where font size is in decimal, please delete it and recreate the character style with font size in whole number instead of decimals and check if that works. " and share the below-asked details with us.

Collect the logs using this tool ( https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html ). Upload it to CC or Dropbox and share it via DM ( Send a message )
Share XD file on which is it happening via DM
OS build which you are using.
Name of the Fonts and their weights which are impacted.

Thanks,

Atul_Saini

..still not working here either on Mac OS Catalina. Latest version of XD. Slowing down the workflow so much, I might go back to Sketch bc of that. Too bad. I really liked XD until.. the bugs came in.

This issue has been around months, still no fking fix? This makes my workflow 2x slower.. Just fix your sh*t, so many bugs in this software on WINDOWS... You don't care do you? And everytime it has the same response.. Is it so difficult to fix something that has been broken for months?

This is still an issue and a rather large and frustrating one and yet it still isn't resolved.

I agree. It might seem like a (short term) workaround to 'just' round up/down but this is getting a bit frustrating now. Assets/design systems not working as intended, which is annoying when you're working with external terms + brands that want accuracy. Don't want to have to change everything to then need to change it back once/if resolved.

Hi XD Team,

It's nearly mid January and still no update on this issue? Very frustrating... I've been having this issue for sometime now patiently waiting for an update. It's a BIG problem for those with large projects. Something small as changing the text size for every paragraph in my project is incredibly time consuming and annoying.

Hey. I have the same problem. Originally my document came from PS. If I delete all the text boxes and create new boxes in XD everything works fine with the character styles. Could this be perhaps a problem with from PS generated text boxes? (Whole number font sizes didn't solve the problem before)

Xd does not apply character styles. What is the problem?

Create a text object with specific properties.
Right-click on the object and "Add Character Style to Assets."
Create a second text object.
Adjust the text properties to be different than the previous.
Select the new text object.
Select the character style from the "Document Assets" panel.
Right-click on the character style.
Select "Apply character style."
Nothing happens.

I am having the exact same issue. If a character style has either size or line height with a decimal it not longer works, which is very frustrating as I need to be able to match these exactly to create designs for an existing build.

This is unbelivable that Adobe XD team can't fix this issue in 1,5 months. I DONT have decimals in my character preferences and they still dont work...

Please fix this ASAP.

It is really frustrating...

I'm having this issue as well.

My character styles weren't working at all. MacOS v11.0.1 and Adobe XD v35.2.12.6

However, it wasn't my font size, it was my line spacing that had a decimal. I was just doing quick mockups and set the line spacing in the font to 1.3*[font size]. When I changed the line spacing to a whole number, the character styles would work.
