Outline fill issue in Adobe Illustrator 29.1

Whenever I try to color the outline, it will take it as a fill color. It doesn't color the outline. This is such a simple basic thing, I don't know if anybody else is facing similar isssue?

I use Mac Sequoia 15.1.1 & Illustrator is 29.1. The problem seems to have been fixed. I'm able to change the color of the ouline easily now. Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue. When selecting either the stroke or the fill colour from the properties pannel it will change whichever is currently selected as the focus regardless of which one is clicked. This is very frustrating as I then need to undo, hit X to change the focus colour, and then redo the colour change. I am hoping this bug gets fixed quickly as it impacts my workflow.

Hello @Terra25403019nuaa,

I'm sorry to hear you're having the same trouble in Illustrator. Would you mind confirming the version of the OS/Illustrator and a short screen recording of the problem, so I can check it with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the hint, Ton.

 

I only tried it with document colour swatches (which seems to work fine in this case).

Swatches are not the problem Kurt.

Probably I'm overlooking something, but I can't seem to reproduce the issue.

 

Exactly what steps are required to see the bug?

Yes, that is a bug. You have to take care which is the focused color.

Thanks for the prompt response. This is one of the primary functions of Illustrator, they shouldn't messing around with it. Hope they get it fixed.
