Question

Illustrator wont let me recolour certain objects bug

I have been having this issue for a while on various different versions of illustrator.

 

There seems to be a bug where I am not able to recolour certain objects without having to double click and then double click again and then one more time to open the objects up (even though i did not group these) and only then can I re-colour, I think it usually happens on certain objects when make a copy of them. It's just behaving very strange and it's making it very difficult to get anything done!

 

Help with this would be much appreciated. I have attached a video to help Illustrate the issue.

Take a look at it in the Appearance panel. It's a group.

Thanks for the help however thats not it unfortunely: Take a look at the screen shot, appearance panel still shows different colour to the object itself, thats after I use the eye dropper tool to try to get the yellow on the blue object

The color of the "Contents" is on top of the color you applied.
