Type on path not working properly on Illustrator 2021 (v 25.2.2)

[Clado69]

The last version of Illustrator has issues with text around circles.

Opening files created with the last version, the texts around circles are non anymore in place.

Havé you the same issues ?

Hi Srishti!

I am having the same problem in version 26.0.1. Do I need to download an older version of illustrator?

See the circle in the attached screen shot, and how much text should be appearing below....

Thanks,

Allie

All AI files that I've reopened after latest Illustrator update (25.2.2) that have type on a circular path have been subject to some of this type having moved position. This appears to be regardless of what font has been used. This is annoying as I am having to go in and reposition the text, by using the handles with direct-select tool. Anybody else experience this issue?

Yes this is happening to me too and is very frustrating!! I have 100 packs with a circular path now and I am now having to spend time that I do not have to rectify this. Please sort this issue out Adobe!

It may be better to revert to the previous version and when delivering files to a customer give them a version with outlined text.

I have noticed a strange bug that has never happened before. When I re-open an Illustrator file the text that I've put on a path has done a 180 degree turn. See screen shot.

I have the latest Illustrator.

Not sure if others have had the same problem.

This latest version of Illustrator 25.2.2 has started flipping text on paths when I open files that were only created last version. I know it's an easy fix but very frustrating when you have multiple text on paths in one document and they've all been messed up and flipped. Please fix this glitch!!!!!!

[Ton Frederiks]

Yes, it is a problem with 25.2.2

I've just updated to Illustrator 25.2.2. I've opened files I was working on yesterday and type on circular paths has moved, so for example, where it was aligned top centre of the circle it now appears near the bottom of the circle with half the type missing (as if someone has just dragged an alignment handle round the circle about 100 degrees. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, thank you, but for now I'm sticking with the old one until the problem is resolved. have a good day

[alessandrob72807943]

Sorry for this question, I feel the need to ask:
apart the fact that not everyone has access to prerelease versions,
why is the bugged version still online? 

[Arthur Chen]

After update. Type on path on a circle rotate -90˚ when open file.

My path wont let me move my text where I need it? When is this bug getting fixed. 

[gabriellas97666177]

When I reopen my illustrator file, containing "Text on a path" items, all the text changed position and are now upside down. But before saving it, everything was fine. It's only when I close it and reopen the file. Any help please?
