BUG: OpenType superscript broken in Illustrator 25.0.1

Assigning OpenType superscript features or superscript alternate glyphs does not appear to work in in Illustrator 25.0.1 (on MacOS Mojave). 
The menu opens, but nothing happens if you press the shown optional figure styles. Adding them manually from the Glyphs window or by assigning a different position setting in the OpenType settings pane doesn’t work either.

You can however copy text from elsewhere with unicode superscript characters and they will appear correctly. Tested with Adobe Myriad and Fakt Pro, so not a font issue.

Seems I solved the issue: I turned off ”Show Indic options” in the Type menu under Preferences and now OpenType superscript works again. The ”show Indic options” feature seems to be somewhat broken in the English version of Illustrator.

What happens if you set Superscript in from the Chatacter panel menu?

That works, but it applies the generated superscript, not the proper character from the font. (Figures look too thin).

I tried Myriad Pro and it seems to work fine:

Myriad Bold, upper applied from the character panel in Illustrator, lower copied unicode superscript 2 U+00B2. The upper version is a scaled down figure, not the proper character.

Was able to reproduce the issue by turning ”Show Indic options” back on again. Turning it on did not break the superscript functionality, but when I restarde Illustrator with ”Show Indic options” checked OpenType superscript stopped working again, so it clearly is the cause of this bug.

Try to set the Adobe Line Composer ( instead of the Arabic one) for these textframes.

There is no need to change the preferences.
