RussColeridge Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Hi, I can't seem to be able to get rid of the pink snapping candidate outlines on text and objects. Unchecking 'Show snapping candidates' makes no difference. Turning off snapping makes no difference. The only way I can preview artwork properly it seems is to save, close, and re-open the document. I'm pretty sure this has started happening since upgrading to 1.8.3. Russ Quote
Staff Sean P Posted April 9, 2020 Staff Posted April 9, 2020 Hi Russ, Would you be able to show the behaviour you're getting (even after unticking the Show snapping candidates) via screen recording of the whole screen please? Does it also happen on a new document? If it is document specific could you attach that please? Thanks Quote
RussColeridge Posted April 9, 2020 Author Posted April 9, 2020 Hi Sean, Thanks for the quick response. Hope screen recording is useful. I've done a bit more experimentation. The snapping candidate outlines will disappear if you select an object by clicking or from the layers palette. Clicking a locked object does not select it so makes no difference (it's the locked objects that have caught me out in other documents). I would still expect the snapping candidate outlines to disappear as soon as snapping is switched off or 'Show snapping candidates' is unchecked.

Staff Sean P Posted April 14, 2020 Staff Posted April 14, 2020 Ahhh I see what you mean now - this looks like a simple redraw issue! I'll get this passed on to development, thanks for letting us know! Quote
RussColeridge Posted April 14, 2020 Author Posted April 14, 2020 That was my guess! Thanks Sean Quote
