Hi
I have the same problems, even more. Non of my shortcodes does not work enymore, since the last upgrade (to v4.4). Now everything is messed up.

Played around with settings – no difference
Custom formatting [enabled]
Compatibility mode [disabled]
Skip default values [enabled]
Using Metro skin.
Checking Compatibility mode shows the short codes themselves in pages. When disabled some work and others don’t as described previously.

[guests] re-added the shortcode – works
[list] – had to re-select all icons (names changed)
[heading ‘size’] – smaller than what it was, had to increase size
[posts] re-added the shortcode – works
Couple of things happen on this upgrade:
Compatibility mope goes to “on” – to fix:
Either a) visit settings to uncheck this option; or
b) Convert all your shortcodes to compatibility mode (prefix them with “su_” i.e. [list] becomes [su_list] – this can be tedious on a big site, but you can do a replace if you are confident with SQL.
ALSO, icons have changed. If (like us in places), you used [list] with style=”SOMESTYLE” then this won’t be working any more. You’ll need to re-select your icons. Again this can be tedious. Also, I note that the selector doesn’t work well in some browsers, but this is a side issue.
Do you have any issues still outstanding? I have troubleshot a few on shortcodes ultimate today, following update.
So if you had a list with icon styl “check”, like this:
[list style="check"]
<ul>
<li>some item</li>
</ul>
[/list]
It will now be:
[su_list icon="icon: check" icon_color="#67af2c"]
<ul>
<li>some item</li>
</ul>
[/su_list]
(note the new color select option I have chosen a green for your “check” symbol!).
The update is an improvement, just a little bit of effort to convert it all. MySQL can be used to find and replace any shortcodes you’ve used across multiple posts / pages using the code here.
Also, in addition, note that as mentioned above, some versions of Firefox don’t like the icon select tool, though Chrome copes with it fine. If you’re not seeing icons to select, try another browser.
