After selecting Same Stroke Color, it selects multiple objects, some grouped, some not grouped, many have different colored fills. Then I change the stroke color of the whole group and it deletes the fill colors of all objects involved. This never happened before the latest update. I'm on a Windows 10 machine running Illustrator 25.3.1 (64-bit). This was a normal process that is integral with the type of work I do and going through each artwork to individually select objects is not an option as some have hundreds of parts. This has happened with many different files starting yesterday and needs a fix not a workaround.
Any ideas?
Please and thanks.

The problem is not just with the gradient fill.

The update to 25.4 solves this problem. Check if it is already available in your region, it should appear in the CC app.

It's a bug that was introduced in the latest version of Illustrator (in conjunction with global colours and spot colours).
A workaround is to add at least one non-global filled or stroked object to the selection before you change the stroke weights.

Met, I discovered and posted the workaround while inspecting the bug about a week ago.

Thanks. (And I even replied to the original, my only excuse is that I really am a very old man, despite my icon!)

if you deselect a global color and select it again it works, imagine that with several colors....

I have this issue with global colors. 25.2 version works correctly.

Hi everyone,
Is anyone experiencing the same problem I'm having?
When I select multiple objects (with different fill colors) at the same time and apply a new stroke color, I lose the fills.
This has never happened to me before today... I thought a simple restart of my computer would fix it but to no avail 😞
Is this an update problem or is it just me?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
Similar issues have been reported and most likely you are stumbling across a bug in that case.

Hi Kurt
Thanks for your response.
I'm running the latest version of illustrator.
Could the cause be from a 'corrupt graphic' affecting the document? (I'm not sure if that is even possible...)
I only mention this because I have tested a number of random shapes drawn in a new document and the phenomenon doesn't occur however when I copy and paste my original graphics into the new document all the objects experience this problem...

Please follow the link to User Voice from @Ton Frederiks in this thread. Adobe announced on July 23 that they have found a fix in beta and have a link for the download.
