I'm have issues with the copper fill.

When I select "Remove isolated islands" they are put in anyway.
When I select "Highlight isolated islands" some are highlighted, others are not.

I don't know why it is not working, and I cannot remember the last version number where it worked.

Anyone else having these issues?

It works for me.

Try redrawing the pour outline. I have had odd things happen that were fixed when the outline was redrawn.

As per Scazon's reply, all working fine for me too (and has done so for as long as I can remember).Sorry can't suggest anything apart from referring you to Tech Support, -its probably something "silly" deep within your Design Technology file settings.

It works fine for me (V28.0.2, Windows 11, but it worked in 10 too). I use fill a hell of a lot, to create a pseudo- groundplane on 2 layer PCBs, so I think I'd have noticed if it stopped working, as I do error and connectivity checks after every fill operation. Sadly that's not the answer you wanted, as it doesn't solve your problem, but if you send your project to support they'll sort it out for you.
