Changing same stroke color of multiple objects deletes the fill color...

After selecting Same Stroke Color, it selects multiple objects, some grouped, some not grouped, many have different colored fills. Then I change the stroke color of the whole group and it deletes the fill colors of all objects involved. This never happened before the latest update. I'm on a Windows 10 machine running Illustrator 25.3.1 (64-bit). This was a normal process that is integral with the type of work I do and going through each artwork to individually select objects is not an option as some have hundreds of parts. This has happened with many different files starting yesterday and needs a fix not a workaround.

Any ideas?

Please and thanks.

Hi all,

We have tried to address this issue in our latest release v25.4.1. Please update Illustrator to the latest version to get this fixed.

Please feel free to reach out if you still need assistance, we'd be hapy to help.

Regards,

I cannot reproduce your problem with 25.3.1

Did you try to restart your machine and if that still fails, reset your preferences?

Thanks Ton. Resetting the preferences seems to do the trick so far. I don't remember that fix often because getting everything back to the customized set up isn't as easy as importing my settings again.

Have a great rest of your day!

Good to hear that helped.

That's clearly the most sensible thing to do. Sometimes I just need someone else to say it. Thanks.

I've used Illustrator since 1998 and it seems that with every big-new rollout of a feature or function I have to add a big-new workaround. (Adobe, are you listening?) Make it a solid piece of software and let the artist's and designer's talent come up with the art and design that is full of features.

I'd recommend going back to 25.2, seems there's a lot of iffy stuff going on with 25.3 update from the complaints in the posts here.
