Not sure if this one had been discussed before but I wasn’t able to find anything about it. I never had an issue like that before and it’s kinda weird.
I had to take out a certain word in a couple of captions so I used „Find And Replace“ pasted in the word, in my case it was „Materialzusammensetzung: " with the space behind the „:“ and left the „Replace With“ blank, like I wanted it. If I go one by one this works fine … but … if I hit „Replace All“ it repeats the first figure of the following number.
Like I replaced „Materialzusammensetzung: 80%“ it’ll change it to „880%“. This is a weird bug.
It just reoccurs in any file. I tested it in a new file as well. Just type in whatever for instance „Test 1“ or „Test A“ and then Find/Replace „Test " with the blank and replace all with nothing in the replace section and it’ll double whatever comes next. Either „11“ or „AA“. If you replace it without the blank it’ll fill in a second blank wich is not correct either.
Sorry for not answering right away … I just switched to a new M2 MacBook Pro that’s why I wanted to see first if it would work on the new machine. And it doesn’t, the same problem occurs also after deleting the preference file. I also reseted Illustrator just now and the problem is still there. Strange.
I have uploaded the simple AI for you to test. Like I said … just „Find and Replace“ „Test: ” including the space behind „:“ and replace all with nothing in the replace with section. Whatever is behind the blank space will be doubled.
This was an Illustrator PDF, so it shouldn’t have been a problem to download. Kinda weird that we’re on an Adobe Community Forum and you’re not able to upload native Illustrator files?
In my case, the difference may have occurred because I verified Illustrator 27.6.1 with the English version and 27.7.0 with the Japanese version, to be precise.
I just tried again and the problem still reproduces. Sorry.
