Hi All, @LPO PACA @michaelf83358296 @marcow81779180

 

I checked with the team, and this issue was addressed in Illustrator v26.1. However, we have discovered this issue is happening on some older files created on an older version of Illustrator.

This is mainly due to the path created as a rounded rectangle disguised as Circle, which causes the issue while editing it.

I would request you to check this and confirm. If that is not the case, I will request you all to share a download link to a file in which you are using the issue, and we will check at our end.

 

We will be looking forward to your responses.

 

Regards,

Anshul Saini

Hello @GG_Nat,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of your workflow and the problem (https://adobe.ly/45AL55T), so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Same problem here...all files that have text aligend to a circle are affected. The text will wrap differently around the circle. So either correct it or wait for a new version...?

I downgraded to the previous Illustrator version and now it works again as expected.

Hi,
good (well kind of good) to hear that I am not the only one having exactly the same problem. This is with Text aligned to a circle. All text is rotated. The funny thing is that the preview in the file history windows renders it correctly....

 

I will try to go back to an older version this might hopefully work.

 

Regards,
Michael

Can you try if it helps when you reset the preferences?

Since this will erase all your settings, you can rename the preferences folder which can be undone in case it doesn't help.

I reset the preferences. That did not solve the problem.

It's difficult to tell what's happening there.

 

I have tried, but cannot reproduce it (Mac OS)
