Pasting an object with perceptual gradient applied expands it and converts into an image
- Create a rectangle and fill it with a gradient (liner/radial)
- In the gradient panel, change the method from Classic to Perceptual
- Copy the object
- Paste the object
Check the Appearance panel — it’d show the object is now an image, with the original perceptual fill tucked under the pixels!
And if the object had a stroke, it becomes a group with a stroke in it separated.
This issue is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta 30.3.126 build.
Kindly update (or install) to verify the fix making it behave as expected, to allow the team to safely push it into the next general build.
If it still works wrongly — please comment back.

There is a problem when the Include SVG Code option is enabled. If this option is not enabled, there is no problem.

It happens for me only if I have Include SVG Code option enabled in Preferences > Clipboard handling. Works fin without it.
Can you all please check this? -

The same problem occurs when trying to copy and paste a gradient mesh

In my case I don’t have any external clipboard managers installed in Windows, but I do use its own Clipboard history, Win+V... disabling it does not stop the bug from happening. I tried disabling Everylang app that might steal clipboard, even though the options for this are disabled within — no luck too.

This issue appears to be caused by having clipboard history software installed, rather than being a bug in Illustrator.

この問題は、Illustratorのバグではなく、クリップボード履歴ソフトウェアがインストールされていることが原因であるようです。 -
