Can't Change color unless I create a compound path

Hi!

I recently started a new job and inherited someone's computer. Ever since working here I've had issues changing colors on my vector objects. I HAVE to create compound path just to update the color, even on simple shapes. I don't know if the designer before me had a weird setting or not. I've even tried updating the software and its still a persistent problem Its really frustrating and slowing down my work time. Has anyone else ever run into this issue?

Thanks!

I've checked the appearance palette. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. It seems to be when objects or grouped that I have the most problem, but I don't have the issue when I open the same artwork on my laptop. It has to be a setting that is only on my work computer. I just can't seem to figure out what or where it could be.

I've taken a screen capture for reference: Dropbox - Compound_Path_ScreenCapture.mov

Your Appearance panel is cut off in the movie. It would help if you showed the Appearance panel and the layer expanded in the Layers panel when you record the movie.
