An error occurred while saving the comment 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. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Jane, you have to expand your request.
You say panels for working with color are simpler in InDesign.
One can object they are way to simple. Another will respond they are quite similar. What is obvious to you can be viewed from a different point of view by others.
What is difficult? What elements are not necessary? Why? What do they miss? Can you give examples of your workflows in Ai and InD and compare efforts? -

An error occurred while saving the comment While this is not done, you can try to use scripts by Nimbling:
https://github.com/nimbling/Nimbling_Scripts#clip-scripts
I have wrapped them in actions and assigned to hotkeys, they work pretty fine, although not like the dragging from Affinity or Move Inside / Outside commands...AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment You mean you want to see only one gradient annotator for several objects selected, if they share the same gradient?
There was the opposite request, to have them separated, and this is why we have this behaviour now. Can you please give some examples where it makes your workflow harder? -

An error occurred while saving the comment It looks a lot like a paid plugin DynamicSketch by AstuteGraphics.
There are videos at YouTube with demonstrations.
Is is close enough to what you want? -

An error occurred while saving the comment All three are definitely needed for those who construct rather than draw, true.
There are some paid tool wo do that, by AstuteGraphics (ExtendPath, Trim and Join) and RJGraffix (Trimmer). Corner tool is something that still can be done manually with extending and trimming after though.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment While Adobe hesitates implementing this, use this amazing free script form Sergey Osokin to rename layers, artboards, objects, anything — at once, with a lot of features:

So cool. Why don’t we have it from the box already?An error occurred while saving the comment Mike, for now use this awesome free script by Sergey Osokin to do that:

An error occurred while saving the comment Document Info panel can display the number of selected objects, if you choose 'Objects' in the panel’s menu.
However, it counts all low-level objects only (for example, if I have 3 boxes, and 2 of them are grouped, it will count 3 only, and won’t tell details), does not remember the choice between launches, and is pretty useless with Global Edit (by design).
So yeah, this is a solid request.

An error occurred while saving the comment I like it a LOT.
I have to Ctrl+X and Ctrl+F to simulate this in very inefficient way.
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-k
And 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.
