Live Paint Bucket- strokes get changed

Question

Hi all!I am new to illustrator and this is my first post here. I hope it's a desent question and not to obvious..I have made my first scetch (outlines only) with my wacom. Now it's time to colour. I want to use the Live Paint Bucket, and I understand I need to make a live paint bucket group to be able to? And I get that choise automaticaly when hover over the scetch. But as soon as click, it seems like the Strokes for all my lines changes, first of all - to the same size for all lines, and also to a much smaller size. This makes my drawing fall out of structue. I get a lot of "gaps" and the lines doesn't fit together anylonger. Does anyone knows why and how I can solve this/prevent this to happening??here is a link of a short video that shows what I mean:https://www.dropbox.com/t/lBG7c6O8EeKZQvpl  Thanks!/Andreas

Are there perhaps brushes applied to your strokes?

Unfortunately, Illustrator still does not properly support brush strokes when converting them into a Live Paint group. They get removed.

Usually, there is a warning message that informs you about that, but the alert has a "Don't show again" option, so it may never appear again once you enabled this option.

There are (sometimes) some workarounds. Can you share the Illustrator file you used in your video?
