P: Multiple paths deselect when you convert them to a selection

The behaviour of paths appears to have changed in Adobe CC. Before if you had 10 separate closed paths on path layer and you select one of the paths to convert it to a selection. After you pressed the 'convert path to selection button' all of the selected paths would stay selected and all of the other paths on that path layer would stay visible.

Since Adobe CC, now when you carry out the above process and once you click the 'convert path to selection button' it deselects all of the selected paths and all of the other paths are no longer visible meaning you have to go back to the path palette, re-select the path layer and then reselect all of the paths again.

This wastes a massive amount of time because what if the purpose of converting a group of selected paths was so that I can then apply a stroke to them? I now have to go back to the paths palette, select the path layer and then re-select all of the paths so that I can apply the stroke. That becomes a serious issue when you have 40 paths that you want to stroke. Why has this behaviour been changed? It worked perfectly before. Please can someone explain why the paths behaviours have been tampered with and whether anything is going to be done to fix this problem. It is seriously upsetting my work flow.

There is already a topic on this issue on the Adobe Community PS forum here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/61091...

An extremely frustrated technical illustrator.

    Clint,

    I am with you on this--I need to have the multiple paths stay accessible until I am done with them!

    Major update with CC 2015.5 and after 2 years still no fix for this issue. Is anyone at Adobe actually going to look into fixing this problem?

    I was hoping this update would fix this problem but is still not working.
    When using pen tool to make path multiple paths can be made but when the turn to selection button is clicked only the last path made is turned to a selection. In previous versions all paths made would turn to selection.

    Another major update and this bug is still there... When is Adobe going to fix this or even have the common decency to reply to me as a fully subscribed CC customer and explain why it has still not been fixed?

    Any update on this or are the mods going to simply delete this message like the previous two. You might see this issue as being insignificant but it is a very real drain of my time when trying to complete what used to be an easy task. It has been over 5 months since this issue was reported and nothing has been done to fix the problem even after a major update release. Can someone at Adobe at least give us some feedback as to whether this issue is going to be fixed instead of just deleting my posts and ignoring the situation.

    For a company that has monopolised the software that I have to use on a daily basis your customer service is quite frankly a disgrace. Sort it out Adobe....
