Illustrator 2025 29.0.1 stroke color doesnt change

[Yasin23889300qynu]

Just installed the version 29.0.1. The stroke color affects fill color as i show below.

I cannot reproduce that (on Mac OS)

Did you already reboot the system?

[Yasin23889300qynu]

Yes i did.

[Monika Gause]

Maybe you need to reset the preferences.

This will erase your custom settings: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html

It did not solve the problem. I also tried reinstall Illustrator. Problem still persist.

Thank you.

Does this occur in a specific file or all files, including new ones?

[Yasin23889300qynu]

Yes, it occurs in all files, including new ones.

I can replicate in 29.0.1 on Windows 10. Colour sliders only in the control bar seem to only control the active appearance; other options (swatches etc.) work normally. I would say it's a bug.

Can you post a uservoice and share it here?

I don't know if it's a new feature or bug, but I can confirm this. Very annoying indeed.

[Doug A Roberts]

It's a bug. For all other modes, selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't.

I can replicate that on Mac Sonoma

let them take care of it

In the color panel it seems to be OK
just switch the option in the color panel to what you want to modify.
It doesn't change the fact that it's a bug

Yes, I was getting crazy since the last update.

When you select a path and wat to change the inside color or the path color, it doesn't matter which one you select, it will only change the one that is active (in front).

What I do is after opening the color I want to change (stroke or innside), on the top part you have 4 icons (samples, color mix, gradient,...). The one selected by default is Color Mix but if you press another and then return to Color Mix, you will have now selected the one you want to change.

Not the best solution, but hope it may help until Adobe fix this bug.
