Compound shapes don’t divide objects below

Fair enough. It’s a bug 😁. It’s hard to imagine that there aren’t a lot of people who’d like to see it fixed.

'Was never able to do that' is not an excuse for not calling it a bug :) It could have been broken from the very start or never implemented. We expect it to divide the same way other non-compound shapes do, and it makes sense for it to behave consistently. There is no hard threshold to define similar problems, but here Ai messages us with 'more than one objects is selected' — and it’s not true, so it’s hardly a request than, but an 'Ai lies' case, and it makes it a bug.

I don’t think it’s a bug. Illustrator has never been able to do that. Or is that kind of shortcoming more commonly referred to as a bug by the engineers?
To answer your other question: I’m referring to the desktop version(Edited by admin) -
Have no idea. It depends on the overall vote count, the availability, the current tasks the team pursues... All of it at once.
But I'd say it''s more a bug report rather than a request though. -

Not critical. But it’s a nuisance from time to time. In not a coder. Would it be difficult to achieve?

Randy, did you mean Desktop or iPad?

Indeed! Ai thinks it’s more than one object selected and refuses to divide anything.
The workaround is obviously to Copy, Paste in Back, Expand, and then Divide, but it’s 3 more operations.
Should be automated!
