Illustrator CC 2017 – In-context alternate glyphs affects the Color Swatch percentage field

Dear Members of this Forum and Adobe-Development crew,

is there a way to turn of the "alternate-glyphs-in-context-menu" function? Since its implementation in the latest Illustrator CC 2017 software this sees to affect performance speed (even when using a non-open-type-font), and also affects working with the Color Swatch: Rather than moving the slider I am used to inserting values into the percentage field and hit "Enter" or "Tabstop". Now this results in the said field's display jumping back to its original value.

This is slowing down my daily work. There had been a similar bug in InDesign by the end of 2016, which then could be solved by unchecking some functions in the prefs (and thus losing the sometimes handy in-context-glyphs-menue), and has since been fixed in later versions. Any idea to do the same in Illustrator (ore some other workaround) before Adobe manages to fix this in Illustrator are extremely welcome. I hate to use sliders when I can insert numbers instead!

Thank you in advance,

Mark

Hi Srishti,

thanks for the reply – I am now unable to replicate the issue myself, too, since, for the video recording, I noticed that everything suddenly works flawlessly. Having switched to a new iMac last week, I assume my old 2010 Mac Pro running the latest Adobe software in combination with OS 10.12.6 was to blame. Environment is the same now, Adobe CC2017 & Sierra 10.12.6, but running on a 27" 2017 i7 iMac instead. Maybe that was it. Who knows? I think we can call it a day on this one and close the discussion. Thanks for taking care, anyway.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi markb,

I tried to replicate at my end, however, I was unable to do so.

I would request you to please share some more details like:

  • Operating System(Exact Version of MAC or Windows)
  • Screenshots or Video of issue
  • Does it happens with some particular document or with all of them

Regards

Srishti
