Hi Everyone,

The fix has been rolled out and is available in our latest release build – 29.3.0 which is available worldwide now.

Illustrator will now allows to change gradients of the Live Paint selections, using Gradient tool.

The annotator won’t show up when you do this, but you will see the changes immediately if you have GPU Preview and Real-Time Drawing and Editing options enabled in Preferences.

What’s new in 29.3: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html

You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

Thank you for all the feedback.

    Do you have any NEWS? There is still the same BUG in the last release. Please i need someone that fix this PROBLEM.

    Ditto...I use this exclusively and called 'tech support' regarding this issue in CC 2019. They tried everything and finally were resolved to setting me up with Illustrator 2018. Not really a fix.

    Egor; I have tried to change angel in Gradient panel but it does not work satisfactorily. Cannot place the gradient in the same way as with the gradient tool in LivePaint.

    It works for me. I select the part with Live Paint Selection Tool and change angle in Gradient palette. You can't use Gradient tool, that is correct, it would be nice if you could. Is this what you meant?

    June 12, 2019.
    Version 23.0.3.

    This issue is STILL not fixed.

    ARGH.

    When will you fix the error with the gradient in LivePaint? Hope it gets fixed very soon, since I use these features daily. Can't switch to new version of illistrator before it works properly!

  • Heidi commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is not possible to position the direction of the gradient as before.

    Same problem here. And Illustrator always crashes when I try to change the angle of the gradient in a Live Paint Object.

  • Lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    Changing the direction of a gradient in a Live Paint object gives me a black & white colour block. This is unacceptable.

  • Lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's just wrong for Adobe to charge subscribers for something that is not working the way it should be.

  • Lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    Has this been fixed yet?

    In Illustrator 2017, I was able to modify a gradient in a live paint group 1) selecting it with Shift + L, 2) pressing the G key and 3) dragging the desired angle and lenght.
    In Illustrator 2019, this doesn't work anymore. :-(
