URGENT: Text shifting outside objects when opening old files (v30.1) — Recurring Bug

 I am experiencing a severe and recurring bug where text elements shift entirely out of their designated objects and bounding boxes. This is most prominent when opening older files or files created in previous versions.

Even after updating to the latest version of Illustrator, the issue persists. Every single time I open a project, I have to waste hours manually rearranging text to its correct place. It is incredibly frustrating, tiring, and is significantly impacting my professional productivity.

 

  • Updating the software has not fixed the problem.

    without update  previous allighment and position were this.
    after updating file text had changed its position.

    Hello ​@Delight32378739hud3 

     

    I’m sorry to hear about your experience with Illustrator. Could you share a link to a sample file after uploading it to a file-sharing service, so we can check it with the team?

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
