An error occurred while saving the comment Rajesh, this is odd, to say the least.
What units do you use? Check in Preferences, please.
What is the size of your artboard?
Does it happen in every document, old and new?
Can you record a short GIF or a video which displays both Stroke panel, the object, and the way it behaves when you try to reproduce the behaviour? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I get the reasoning behind removing this functionality, sadly.
Before CC 2018, there was no way to select several artboards with the marquee, the same way we are able to do with Selection tool — because Artboard tool both creates, moves, and select at the same time. So now holding Shift before clicking switches the tool to the marquee mode, and after... well, it should have force square, but applies proportions of the last selected artboard instead.
So we are just out of modifiers here.
Alt copies, Ctrl switches to Selection tool (as anywhere else)...
I myself sometimes need to create artboard inside of an existing one. This is why I switched completely to creating rectangles first and then convert them to artboards with the menus command, assigned to a hotkey.
If you have ideas about solving this clash — please comment.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps you can provide a test file or at least the font name, of this problem still persists?
An error occurred while saving the comment Does it stay when you disable GPU?

An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, there is a limit for using spot and global swatches in a gradient.
Illustrator shows the warning if you try to assign a new swatch to a stop using the popup panel (when you double click the stop), but does not show it, if you Alt+click the new swatch (it just drop the entire gradient), or if you drag-n-drop the swatch into the gradient strip in the panel (it draw a black line there and nothing happens.
A workaround would be to use ordinary swatches, but this is not a real solution for sure.
Also, I do not know which way you use to build a gradient, but perhaps these several scripts may come handy:
https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/75097/how-to-repeat-a-gradient-multiple-times-in-illustrator-and-photoshopAn error occurred while saving the comment Sonia, I can’t reproduce it.
I am able to add much more than 27 swatches in a single gradient — take a look at the file attached.
Can you please share a test file with the gradient you can’t add more swatches into? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ah, I see what is happening.
You refer to Live Paint group, not just a group with the 'paint-group'!The current state of Live Paint with gradients is poor. We can’t use Gradient tool to control the position and the direction of the applied fills AFTER they were place in a Live Paint group. The annotator just won’t get displayed and applied if you drag over the object, whether you select the region with the Live Paint Selection Tool or not, like you do. Isolating the group and trying to modify a fill for an object inside still won’t work.
Here is the report about it, which I encourage you to vote for: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/35930962-adjustment-of-a-gradient-in-live-paint-bucket-kAnd as you've just reported, it also applies the default stroke to it — and this is definitely a bug, as I see it.
I guess I understand why you chose this method — to have a general outline of a leaf, a center ridge, and two halves filled, to be able to control shading and the ridge separately... with these expanded and merged you’d have to edit the stem twice. Meh.
Also I notice your leaves have many duplicate and unjointed segments within. Live Paint groups are wrapped into another unnecessary groups. It won’t help to avoid the bug, though :(A workaround I can think of now is to remove strokes to avoid resetting weights. Another option is to avoid using Live Paint for this task completely.
The other option would be to control the angle of the applied gradient via the Gradient panel — unfortunately it does not give any control over its positioning (here is the request about having one: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/34419280-add-numeric-controls-over-all-features-of-gradient)
I vote for this one and leave a comment to the first one I mentioned above.
An error occurred while saving the comment Murad, hi again. Can you share the file please? This leaf in particular, nothing else. I have some suspicions I want to check with it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Shanice, it’s tough to guess what’s happening by looking at these screenshots. A real file shared here could have helped, if you are allowed to share it. You can also send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com to avoid privacy issues.
As for the video — you can use any service to upload it and share the link here. It’d be better if you used not your phone to do that, but an actual screen recording done by your Mac — they can do that without external apps.
If this is not possible, try to describe in details all your steps: what did you pressed, when, how, etc. -

This can be toggled in the Appearance panel’s menu with the 'New Art Has Basic Appearance' option.
See the comments for details.
An error occurred while saving the comment This is easy to fix. Please open the Appearance panel, then its menu (top right corner, the hamburger icon), and disable 'New Art Has Basic Appearance' option. This one forces Ai to always create new objects with minimal appearance applied instead of the latest selected one. Pretty useful in some cases!
Please comment back if it works for you. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Saurabh, if you open the tool preferences by clicking its icon twice or hitting Enter with the tool picked, you can enable both Appearance options to make the tool pick and apply width profiles (they are considered to be an advanced appearance).
Does it work for you? Please reply back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Oliver, is this still an issue? With new GPU Preview method it gets updated fine, unlike with the CPU one.

An error occurred while saving the comment Tom, I checked CS6, CS1 and Illustrator 10.
Each version I tried loose selection for all path selected, leaving only the one that was altered in the selection, with or without 'Keep path s selected option'. Maybe it worked only in CS5?
And actually I don’t recall this as a thing... Why do you think it was? It’s not that I am asking for a proof, but I’d like to see if this ever worked.
An option might be useful indeed, the tool is lacking one.

Wow. This is bizarre indeed.
Looks like Ai believes it has nothing to display, so it won’t do that at all, when all objects are hidden.
I can reproduce it.
