I can click on Stroke or Opacity in the Appearance Panel, but not on Fill. There is no underline and the word is not clickable. 

Using Illustrator 2025 cloud document.

Anyone else having this issue?

I'm having the same problem. Gradients also don't seem to work for me. I can only add them through the appereance tab, but I am not able to change the color. Why am I paying for a product that isn't working?

This isn't the same problem, as the original poster is in the appearance panel. Not sure what your issue is exactly. If you have a gradient (went to the swatch panel and clicked on one), you should be able edit it either the using gradient tool or in the appearance panel, if you click on the fill thumbnail arrow, you get a pop up, which then gives you gradient options to edit the fill. Are one or both of these not working?

Just a regular rectangle, or any other shape.

You have to use Window > Appernce for that, not Window > Properties.

I can click on the color box and change the color, but I can't use any of the other features that are available when you click on the word "Fill" such as multiple fills.
