Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.

We have fixed this issue in 29.2 release.
Please update your Illustrator through Creative Cloud Desktop.

@Egor -- the colour mixers in the control bar appear to change whatever the active appearance is (stroke or fill), regardless of whether the drop-down for stroke or fill is selected.

Confirmed, MacOS Sonoma, AI 29.0.1. Annoying as ****.

29.0.1 Mac OS confirmed. What is the use of beta, pre-release, where is QA? If in the final release you roll out such stupid bugs.

Yes, that is correct. Thank you..

Yasin, from what I see in the GIF (and what I can verify), using the Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead — am I correct? I fixed the title.
