Question

Applying appearance at layer level affects visibility of the sublayers where the sublayers do not respond when turning visibility on or off

After applying an appearance style to a layer which contains multiple object sublayer, toggling the visibility of individual object layers on and off does not function properly. For example,  If I turn off visibility on one of the object sublayers, turning it back on will not make the object visible. This is an issue whether objects are in a group or not.

    FYI, I am using Win 11 with latest update.  Illustrator 30.1.  GPU Nvidia RTX 5090 with latest driver.

    You have also posted this on reddit, correct?

     

    As I wrote there, I can reproduce it with your file, but can’t reproduce it on my own. So probably you need to do some cleaning up stuff. The Illustrator staff will probably chime in soon. It will help when you put version and system info in here.
