text appearing outside of box and moving objects with it

Hey Adobe, This is fast becoming a serious problem that we are encountering regularly and it is impacting out ability to work as professionals. This is ssue has been around for a while now and really needs immediate attention!

It was a problem on Friday and now again on Monday with different files - not sure how I am going to achieve the deadline if this keeps happening...

I've been having the same issue intermittently for over a month now. TBH, the amount Adobe charges, this type of issue shouldn't happen. I'll see what Affinity plan on revealing today, and that might just convince me to finally drop Adobe for good

What I did was convert the text to "area type", but I had to adjust all the other objects that moved. I found this tutorial and I think it's a temporary measure while they fix the bug. I did it and haven't had the problem again, but I don't know what other things I disabled!
Fix: Navigate to Preferences > Type and disable "Type Object Glyph Snap to Baseline Grid," then restart Illustrator

Same thing for me! Had 8 pages in 2 rows with images and text off the artboards. Had opended the job a few times, then a few minutes after closing it down, re-opened and mayhem! Random text and images on and off the artboards had dropped down by 1 page. Absolute mess now. 

Thought I'd upgrade Illustrator to the latest, 30.0, low and behold same thing. A simpler job this. At first nothing seems to have moved, however I noticed a couple of boxes on a page that shouldn't be there, clicked on them and hit delete, the text from the next page alongside it disappeared. It was an empty text box, however the text was on the next page, now showing without a text box.

Think I'm going to go back a few Illustrator versions prior to 29.8.

since it is a recent bug, I have drop back randomly to 28.6.1 version.

Latest files fully compatibles 👍

I will update if it happen again with this version (on my Mac Studio M1 Max - Tahoe 26.0.1)

My team mate which has not the latest app update (28.7.1) yet, has never experience this... (on his iMac 2020 i9 - Sequoia 15.6.1)

TEMPORARY FIX (at least for me it works): In the meantime, until Adobe gets its act together, I just save my files as an .eps...I haven't had an issue since

So relieved it's not just me and that Adobe are looking into this. I've had the same experience when creating logo designs on multiple artboards and on single artboards with things like illustrations. All fine when I save it but when I return and open the file several elements have moved to a different position. It's the worst bug I've ever experienced (in any adobe program) in over 30 years of using Adobe products. So frustrating! The solution I've found is trying to move the elements that have relocated elsewhere and then undo and they sometimes return to their original location. Also, saving as an editable pdf seems to work as other on here have said. Hoping for a fix very soon as it's upsetting my work flow!!!

Thank you! I will give these a try.

Any one have this happen? This has happened to different files of mine randomly over the past week. No alerts, warnings, errors. One day I make a design and later in the day or the next day I open it and chaos! Thank you for taking a look.
