    Correct answer BreanneP

    I realize this thread is years old, but for anyone who finds it by searching for a solution to the same issue, I may have your answer. 

     

    In the Appearance panel, click on Opacity. A flyout appears to adjust the opacity, and at the bottom you'll see three checkbox options: Isolate Blending, Knockout Group, and Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape. Check off the last one, "Opacity & Mask ..." and see if that solves your issue. It did mine after trying to figure this out!

    That would apply to a very specific set of conditions in an opacity mask. The OP doesn't appear to have created an opacity mask.

    can we see what you are seen by showing a screenshot?
