Hello @Raul26227138aq66,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you check if Illustrator behaves this way with other files as well. If not, would you mind sharing the file here or via DM so we can check it on our end?

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Can you open the live paint options from the object menu?

And then turn on the gap detection?

If it still doesn't help, in the settings select some different option. Sometimes you have to select a smaller one.
