I can't change stroke colour after I used the shape builder tool
After using the shape building tool to combine shapes together to create a specific shape and change the stroke to a colour with a specific stroke weight then later when I try to change the stroke colour it does nothing, it show up different when it's in isolation mode though. I've tried to add a thicker stroke line and that shows the new colour I've chosen behind the first colour so the shape developed two stroke colours in one and I have no idea how to fix it, even if I copy and paste the shape then try to change that one, still nothing.

Hi Egor, I resolved the issue by copying it into a completely new document. It was as if the document had some sort of a bug of its own and overall refused to keep up with the color of the stroke only. I used the color panel to select the new color. I had deleted the original document after copying it over to the new one.

Rachael, can you please show the way the Appearance panel look when you select this object?
How exactly do you assign the new color stroke? With the Color or Swatches panels, or using the Eyedropper tool? If with the tool — can you pick the tool and hit Enter to open the Tool Options dialog — does it have one or both Appearance options checked there?
