The text panel/menu is gone in AI. I've went to the top menu, closed it, reopened it, and it's still not there - even though it says it is.
Any ideas?
I've had this happen. Restart and do a raindance and then try again? Dunno.

scared the hellz out of me the first time too.
I go to
Font > Type > Size and select other.
That brings the palette back. ;)
Oooooooh, the character palette.

Hmm, maybe I'm thinking of the wrong thing.

could it be a computer glitch? Did you try restarting?

I tried all sorts of variations too...even went to the different view on the tool menu and tried it. I'm checking the web site for updates. Maybe that will bring it back. Worst case, I'll reinstall it.

Try (in the menu) Window>Workspace>Default
You'll probably have to juggle your palettes back to where you want 'em, but this should work.
Once you've got 'em where you want 'em, define the workspace and make it your own.

^ Agreed
Tried as hard as I could but I couldn't manually throw any of my windows to within one pixel of the corner of my screen in illustrator (to simulate a mouse going mental like they do sometimes) and forgot to suggest what Urstwile said in the meantime.
