Gradient on a line, converts to outline path, when copy and pasted. :-(

Question

It's a simple thing. Create a square. Add a gradient fill to the outer line. Select and copy the box. Paste the box. The gradient line is converetd to an outline stroke, filled with the gradient. Is there a pref somehwhere that does this? I just want to copy and paste the box, keeping the gradient fill on the line. I've created a video to show the problem. See below. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

You were right Monika Gause. I quit all my apps (including Illustrator). I then re-opened Illustrator and copied and pasted a gradient line and the problem was gone. I then re-opened my usual apps one by one - each time copying and pasting the gradient line in illustrator to see if the problem re-turned. Low and behold after I had  opened 'TeamViewer' the problem returned. So its 'TeamViewer' that is causing the copy and paste issues with my gradient line!
