Gradient tool Illustrator is a mess...

[cirof70945980]

Hello everybody,

is it just me, or with latest Illustrator versions the gradient tool is kinda messy?

I mean: suppose you're adjusting a gradient. I pick the gradient tool, and if i set one of the cursor od the sliders, either the global opacity of the object downs to 0%, or to 100%, and eventually you cannot just set opacity of the single cursors.

Thanks in advance to whoever will try to give hints.

I have the same setup as you, and I have not seen this issue myself. Some things that I try when I'm in a similar situation: Restart, reset preferences, the usual things that can flush out problems. Have you tried that and does it resolve anything? I also try going to Preferences > Performance > uncheck Real Time drawing and editing. This is just to test, normally I leave this preference on, but sometimes this can resolve issues.

If the issue persists could you post screenshots (including the pertinent Panels) to illustrate the issue?
