Can you be a little clearer? What exactly are you doing?

Is there any chance you're hitting the "D" key somehow? This applies the default fill and stroke (which is a white fill and black stroke).

Hello, This design consists of basic shapes created with the elipse and rectangle tools.Each shape is on a separate layer.The rounded rectangle I am selecting has a red fill and a white stroke.There is nothing else on the layer.I am double clicking the stoke in the tool bar to bring up the color picker to change the white stoke.When I choose  a shade of red the stoke changes to black.I just tried using the swatch pallate to change the stoke color and had no problems-it changed to whatever color I wanted.None of the other shapes I've created have this problem and I created them all the same.So can anyone figure out why the color picker I am using from the tool bar changes the stoke to black even though I am choosing another color? I tried choosing other colors and the stoke still comes out black.The fill remains the same.Again this is happening when I use the color picker from the toolbar, double clicking the stroke icon in the toolbar and as I have just found out I have no problem changing the stoke color by clicking a swatch.Thanks to everone who responed!

Another thing which could cause wonkiness with a stroke (although I'll admit it doesn't sound like this is the case here) is if you are using an art brush on the stroke, and its colour is set to tints and shades.
