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?

I am currently using Adobe Illustrator version 29.1

Previously, I was able to apply gradients directly to text using the standard Fill option in the toolbar without any issues. However, now, when I attempt to apply a gradient, the gradient appears in the Fill preview but does not render on the text itself, which remains black.

I have also attempted to apply the gradient using both the Gradient panel and the Appearance panel, but neither method has resolved the issue.

What is the type of the selected object , is it an image?

Just a regular rectangle, or any other shape.

As Monika said, but just to clarify: there are no other fill options available from the Properties panel.

Does clicking on the thumbnail not work?

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.
