Opacity issues

Hi everyone,

Lately I've been experiencing some issues with the opacity of objects.

For example, I want to change the opacity of an object so that I can see the object behind but it's not working... The only thing that change is the opacity of the color but not the entire object like if the rectangle (for example) have a white background (full opacity) and another opacity just for the color...

Thank you for helping!

Thank you, I cannot find the reason for this behaviour, but if you cut and paste the contents in a new document, it behaves like it should.

Looks like a corrupt document.

Ton's assumption is probably right.

To check that straightforwardly, it would help if you could share a sample Illustrator file with some further instructions.

Are you sure you change the Opacity percentage in the Opacity panel and not the percentage of a Global swatch in the Color panel?

Please post screenshots that include the Appearance panel and the Layers panel for the selected objects.

Please embed screenshots in your post and describe what we are supposed to see in them. Also: how is this expeted to look like?

Did you check out CPU preview?
