    In Illustrator 2019, freeform gradients were unable to render in complex compound paths. I was attempting to add a freeform gradient within a compound path/grouped object set of leaves (about 20) of various shapes and sizes. I had used compound paths to add a freeform gradient to two objects previously (although with a few bugs — see http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35851069), expecting the gradient to render. Although it sounded as though my computer was working hard to process the effect, nothing rendered after 5 minutes and so I gave up, resorting to a clipping mask solution instead.
