Clean Up Unpainted Objects removes unpainted paths participating in groups with appearance applied
Appearance fields are sometimes deleted when I do command Clean Up. This is a bug and needs to be resolved. As it looks in the video.

When filled with "/" , if you create a contour after expanding the appearance, it will not be cleaned up.
Without expanding the appearance, simply creating a contour will result in it being cleaned up. -

Found the problem, please watch the video.

Yes, it's quite strange.
I also did this test, copying the entire object, only one disappeared.
If the composite shape is extended, it will not disappear. -
Very odd!
If I make a full copy of the main clip group itself — only one object vanishes after cleanup, in the original, but not in the duplicate.
If I expand the compound shape — it won’t vanish as well. Releasing it makes unpainted hieroglyphs (and the gradient fill is applied to the compound shape itself) — but this doesn’t explain why only one duplicate gets affected!
Good catch. -

When using this function, remove colored objects within the clipping mask as "uncolored objects"

It's definitely a **** bug. Adobe has to figure this out. I hope he can hear.
Solution for now is forgetting the CleanUp command. -
Indeed. The group of no-stroke, no-fill objects has an appearance applied, but for some reason illustrator ignores it and treat them as objects without appearance.
A bug!Meanwhile, try to avoid these :) Apply the style to the compound path itself, on the lowest level of hierarchy and ditch the group. Still it should work, I agree.
