Bullet style matches text

Glad to see native support for bullets added to Illustrator finally, but it's rather annoying that they always seem to match the style of the text. This means if you have multiple text styles in one bullet list the bullets will change style too:

 

I would much rather all these bullets were the same size, is there a way to do this currently?

Hi @tm02,

 

We are sorry for the trouble. A bug has already been logged with the product team, and it is under review.

 

However, there is another manual workaround to resolve the issue. I have attached a video. It is a very non-intuitive process.

 

Also, I would like to inform you that this is expected behaviour in many other non-adobe apps as well.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini

Type a space before the text and format all the spaces in the same way.

The indents then need some adjustment. And you will need to use the "normal" paragraph indents on top.

    This will certainly work, but is about as much effort as the way I was doing bullets previously (circle glyph, tab + left line indent and negative first line indent) and would need the paragraph indent adjusting if the sext size changed.

     

    Would be great to have a clean, native way to achive this.
