My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas. [Branched]
I am using CS5 on Windows, but also had the problem where I chose a new colour from the library and some objects changed colour and others did not. The indicator on the line on top showed the correct colour but the colour of the object did not change. I finally converted the obstinate objects to transparent and from transparent I was able to apply the new colour successfully. Some objects took quite a few clicks to change. Oddly the first click on the transparent colour sample (first item in the colour choices usually turned the colour in the display line to the actual colour of the object and the second or later click actually turned it transparent. In other words, it was like the object had two colours at one time. Now I have to learn how to make them fade out at the edges. Wondering if this colour problem will continue.
