Bug with width-tool - (line thickness)

[STRAAK]

After the download of the security update 21.0.6, all variable line widths created with the line tool (N) or Pencil tool seem to be reset. So lines that I previously edited with the width tool (shortcut U) have become basic lines instead of brush-like lines / strokes. I don't know if this only applies to shape tweens. It makes my projects completely useless. I had great relief when I downgraded and saw that the projects had been restored. If I had to manually adjust all of this it would take me weeks. The information about the update is talking about an update for graphics support. I can tell you that this is not the desired effect and I hope that a solution will be found soon. Furthermore, I wonder if others have also encountered this problem. In any case, this is an upgrade that I am not going to make.

It's interesting to note that this is the 6-th hotfix of AA 21!

Quite an achievement.

There was a post earlier today, so you're not alone.

@n. tilcheff 
Thank you for your reply and good to know that it is being worked on.

It may be useful for the AAcc team to know that the specific file I am working on dates back many years. I think 5 years ago or something alike. I have not tested with newer files. I work a lot with the width tool and my animations depend on it in combination with shape tween. If I can help the adobe animate cc team with testing, please let me know.
