  2. Pasting an object with perceptual gradient applied expands it and converts into an image

    1. Create a rectangle and fill it with a gradient (liner/radial)
    2. In the gradient panel, change the method from Classic to Perceptual
    3. Copy the object
    4. 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.

  3. The gradient is not displayed correctly when moving the shape in any blending mode (e.g. Screen)

    When I move an object with a gradient in a blend mode, the gradient seems to stay in place while I move it, and only applies after I release the cursor. As you can see from the screenshots, I am not moving the gradient, but rather moving the object itself.

    This is very annoying; I've never had this happen before. I'm very disappointed that I updated to the new version.

    Is there any solution?
