I have a stylistic alternates in my opentype values, but for some reason the opentype panel in Photoshop/Illustrator will not toggle them. The interesting thing is, the glyph window in Illustrator reads them fine, but toggling the alternates in the opentype window does nothing. In order to select an alternate, it has to be done via the glyph window.
Has anyone ever experienced this, any ideas what is causing this?
Have you actually written the OpenType code to activate the alternates?
Yes, my code is:

I think you need to tidy that up with OTF classes. You can create a class for all similar substitutions in one that represents @state1 then nearly identical class with all of your ".alts" in exactly the same order and number called @state2 (or whatever name you choose for the classes).
Also, you may be making the same substitution in 2 different features.
{calt} is on by default and may take precedent over later features. You have to be very careful of the order you place not only your features with each other but which sub comes first in your string of code.
So are you saying, instead of using calt and salt, maybe call them something else like swapA, swapB, then initiate those in the aalt code? Like this:
feature aalt{
feature swapA;
feature swapB;
} aalt;
btw, I have two classes now for the OT settings.
Ok, I found the issue. This was developed by former team member, so I am sorting debugging this from the wild. It seems they way over thought this, with double letters, coding the feature twice, and yes as mentioned above, I think it was overwriting the command with double actions (normal to alt, alt to normal). Also seems the code was kinda wrong, they had:
sub w w' by w.alt;
when it should have been
sub w by w.alt;
----
I removed the salt code, and aalt code, and left the calt:
feature calt {
sub A by A.alt;
sub a by a.alt;
sub B by B.alt;
sub b by b.alt;
sub C by C.alt;
sub c by c.alt;
sub D by D.alt;

sub e by e.alt;

sub h by h.alt;

sub k by k.alt;

sub V by V.alt;
sub v by v.alt;
sub W by W.alt;
sub w by w.alt;
sub X by X.alt;
sub x by x.alt;
sub Y by Y.alt;
sub y by y.alt;
sub Z by Z.alt;
sub z by z.alt;
sub zero by zero.alt;
sub one by one.alt;

sub five by five.alt;
sub six by six.alt;
sub seven by seven.alt;
sub eight by eight.alt;
sub nine by nine.alt;
sub exclam by exclam.alt;
sub question by question.alt;
} calt;
Here are 2 classes I made from your code. The class name is followed by a colon and then the list of glyphs in the separated class by a single space --
swap1: A a B b C c D d E e eight exclam F f five four G g H h i J j K k L l M m N n nine O o one P p Q q question R r S s seven six T t three two U u V v W w X x Y y Z z zero
swap2: A.alt a.alt B.alt b.alt C.alt c.alt D.alt d.alt E.alt e.alt eight.alt exclam.alt F.alt f.alt five.alt four.alt G.alt g.alt H.alt h.alt i.alt J.alt j.alt K.alt k.alt L.alt l.alt M.alt m.alt N.alt n.alt nine.alt O.alt o.alt one.alt P.alt p.alt Q.alt q.alt question.alt R.alt r.alt S.alt s.alt seven.alt six.alt T.alt t.alt three.alt two.alt U.alt u.alt V.alt v.alt W.alt w.alt X.alt x.alt Y.alt y.alt Z.alt z.alt zero.alt
After you make those 2 classes, your feature code for this one feature is simply:
feature salt { # Stylistic alternates
# Latin
sub @swap1 by @swap2;
} salt;
Ok, I found the issue. This was developed by former team member, so I am sorting debugging this from the wild. It seems they way over thought this, with double letters, coding the feature twice, and yes as mentioned above, I think it was overwriting the command with double actions (normal to alt, alt to normal). Also seems the code was kinda wrong, they had:
sub w w' by w.alt;
when it should have been
sub w by w.alt;
I'm not clear what your substitutions are trying to do, but since you say you've left only the 'calt' feature it seems like the original developers probably had the former rather than the latter line of code (quoted above) in mind.
sub w w' by w.alt;
will substitute a w by w.alt when it follows another w (and if you have a bunch of w's in a row it will affect every second one).
sub w by w.alt;
on the other hand, will substitute any w with w.alt.
If you really intend it to be the latter rather than the former then you probably don't want this substitution to appear in the 'calt' feature, but rather in a stylistic set ('ss01' - 'ss20') or, possibly, in 'salt'. What is the nature of the alternate glyphs?
Also, features aren't initiated in 'aalt' -- 'aalt' is a distinct feature (access all alternates) which is responsible (for example) for mapping glyphs to their available alternates in the glyph palette.

Yeah, i added it into the salt area, mentioned wrong thing there. While the original designer might have wanted the alternate to show up in double letter combos, it seems that code also made hitting the salt option button in AI not work. I prefer to have that work more than the glyph window. options.
