I created two identical shapes, each with a stroke and filled with different colors. When I select the two shape layers at the same time to adjust the stroke, the filling color will become the color of the last selected shape together.
I don't know if this is a bug. This will not happen if I try software such as affinity designer

Version: 2.4.1 Odesa

I won´t call it a bug nor would I compare a dedicated Vector suite with Pixelmator Pro.
Pixelmator Pro uses Styles and don´t has independent Stroke+fill options for multiple objects - same with with Affinity´s Layer effects which will act in the same way.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good idea to have access to line thickness+fill separately. But that sounds like a different concept.
Just my 2¢ of course.

Hi everyone, this behavior is indeed due to a limitation with the way Layer Styles work at the moment. We'll be addressing this in future updates!
